F1 2005-2012

Well, at least it might be a great year for Ferrari. And to be honest, I was surprised how fast Massa was. I´m happy for him but then again he can never win Alonso as long as Alonso is in the race...

 

If this is going to happen...well.

Australia - well, that was much more like it !

Amazing what a difference a 'proper' circuit ( ie one where racing drivers can actually race ) and a few rainshowers can make....plenty of action, driver errors, bent cars and some superb overtaking manouevres.

Mark Webber drove as you'd expect an Australian to drive in his home GP ( ie hard ) and was unlucky to get involved in Hamilton's accident. Great win for jenson Button - and the 'rookie' who Michael Schumacher couldn't get past deserves a medal

 

I found it a little bland after the thrills of the first few laps, maybe we need racing in the wet and paint ball gun action.

Bring back refueling!

 

Yes,

great race with some unfortunate accidents but it happens... Much better this time.

 

Yes, I thought that Hamilton reacted a little immaturely to the situation with the Ferraris ; no more waiting for fuel stops - the only way through is to pass

 

Actually a rather enjoyable race this time. Interesting to see Mclaren and Ferrari start at the back.

BBC Sport - F1 - Sebastian Vettel wins the Malaysian GP for Red Bull

Red Bull overcame their reliability issues as Sebastian Vettel headed a one-two in the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Vettel, whose car cost him potential wins in Bahrain and Australia, overtook team-mate and pole-setter Mark Webber at the start and held on to triumph.

Mercedes' Nico Rosberg took third while the McLarens of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button were sixth and eighth.

Ferrari's Felipe Massa leads the championship after finishing seventh as team-mate Fernando Alonso retired.

Massa is now two points ahead of Alonso, who is level on points with Vettel but heads him in the standings due to a stronger results countback.

 

Yep a better one this week.

 

Looks like there was a very hot race in China. Lots of tyre changing....

1. Jenson Button McLaren-Mercedes 1.44.42,163
2. Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes +1,530
3. Nico Rosberg Mercedes +9,484
4. Fernando Alonso Ferrari +11,869
5. Robert Kubica Renault +22,213
6. Sebastian Vettel Red Bull-Renault +33,310

 

Average race in China, looks like MS is no longer the rain man.

 

Spain was boring.

 

Well what a anti climax that was, apart from that Monaco was better. Well done to the 1 & 2 for Red Bull.

 

No suprises really but was it twelve drivers had to pull out of the race...? Congrats Webber and Red Bull again..

 

Chandhok was extremely lucky to keep his head on his shoulders! That was a spectacular 'bump'.

Surprise? Not really...

With regard to safety-car procedures the German was no different from footballers uncertain of the latest offside rule....

 

Red Bull poised for another great run this weekend. My money is on Webber and Vettel. Two thumbs up for the U.S. and F1 for coming to terms and bringing a G.P. back to the U.S. Austin, TX 2012...I'll be there!!!!

Red Bull drivers made a mess of their race last weekend. At some point it seemed that the Mclaren drivers hit each other,too, but at least did not destroy anything important in their cars. Ferrari seems to be going downwards now..??

 

Red Bull gives you wings, MW soon found that out, glad he was OK after wards.

OK...Moving on, good British race on Sunday.

 

Amazing hillclimb

 

And what are the Italians good at?

Fixing race results!

There at it a again, when the the hell is the FIA going to stop acting soft on Ferrari I ask? They did it before and they will do it again, Ferrari must have the FIA by the balls.
