Bahrain was a great GP, it came down to Alonso getting out of the pits ahead of Scheuey. To have a modern GP come down to mere seconds is fantastic.

I have a feeling the young Schumacher would have challenged and taken Alonso in the first turn after Alonso rejoined from the pitstop. However, I'm sure Ferrari, and Scheuey are smart enough to race for the championship.

I have a feeling this year of F1 is going to be fantastic.

I think Schumacher is starting 14th...

[Canadiens1131]

I haven't seen the race yet and have scrolled all the way past all the comments to avoid any spoilers

Just wanted to let you guys know that if you're looking to download the entire ITV broadcast of each race, you can using Bittorrent.

http://tracker.archatos.com/ usually has the race posted the day after it is completed. For people who don't get the TV coverage in their area like me, this is fantastic. All you need to do is register there.

What a race. from the first turn of lap 1 to the last turn of the last lap, never a dull moment. Too bad Scott Speed is getting screwed out of his first GP point. We yanks need something to cheer about you know.

Didn't saw the GP (had to study )

but Kimi

 

[Canadiens1131]

Great GP, and what a chaotic day!

 

[Adam'sbaby]

poor Jenson Button...

But his engine blowing up sure was fascinating to watch.. Such huge flames and all that smoke!

Another boring renault season......................while ferrari sleeps again................................

 

[Canadiens1131]

Meh 'boring' only if you want a particular team to win (Ferrari). We've seen some very exciting racing so far. Renault just floats above it.

 

[babyman]

^Yep, when Ferrari wins it's all very exciting!




Jokes apart, I agree that the first races were real cool, the new qualifies make all very interesting and the races also. But it looks there's less competition, Renault is stronger than last year, Mercedes is still behind and Ferrari didn't make too much improvements........................................let's wait for Imola, Ferrari should have a new aerodynamic for that GP

 

[babyman]

By the way, looks like Flavio Briatore made an offer at Willi Weber for Michael Schumacher to take Alonso's place for next season.............................

 

[lady luck]

Mecedes is behind Ferrari ??



- Buona Pasqua!

 

[babyman]

^ Behind its possibilities, unfortunately before Ferrari


Buona Pasqua

 

[lady luck]

Imolo coming up!!
