Well, its almost 2am, and the new Formula 1 Grand Prix season is about to start.
Anymore Hardcore F1 fans still up waiting with baited breath, to see if anyone can come close to whipping the Ass, of those Prancing red Fiats.

Heres to McLaren or More so Williams to take the fight to Ferrari and beating them, Mind you, isn't that an ugly nose they've got!!!!!

C'mon the Brits...../forums/images/icons/smile.gif..(All 2 of them)./forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

My pre-season forecast for the champion this year is the Asturian, Fernando Alonso, Renault.

(Mind you, I forecast Kimi last year but the Hun beat him ! )

I've not been up long - woke at 1.55 and went back to sleep at 4.30 zzzzzz

Not an exciting race - Montoyo added the only interest. Renault are the dark horses - someone HAS to beat the Fiats - gosh I detest em, always have done, and its not cus they have the best car, best driver, best tactics, best tyres, best looking car.

Come on Button I say that who I'm wishing on - I think Its Fiat, Williams, Renault, BAR, Maclaren in terms of car performance. Love the lack of driver aids this year. Roll on Malaysia........

"Not an exciting race " - well that is normal for F1. I dont bother watching anymore. most races seem to be won by better pit strategy rather than driver capability - when was the last time you saw cars overtaking each other 3-4 times a lap - never I hear you reply.

If you want some excitement watch the World and British Superbikes and MotoGP. In one memorable race I saw 7 bikes all enter the last corner together (4 abreast) and they all made it round the corner, with the tension maintained all the way to the finish line.

Ya lazy git, Adrian.
Up at 11.09!!!!!!
Call me mad, but i stayed awake to watch it, a went to my bed at 5.30am, with alarm set, at 7.30, got back up to get ready for a family christianing.

I aggree with you, getting rid of some driver aides is very good. But its not enough, GET RID OF TRACTION CONTROL!!!!!

Not quite sure that they were straight out the wrapper.Their performance, I suppose could be down to the fact of them having there very own race track to test on,
The only good thing about those 2 red cars being away out in front, is they don't get as much TV coverage/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif.

I thought traction control had gone this year! I could have sworn they said so on the ITV F1 preview show on Saturday.
