I actually believed this for 4-5 seconds until I saw the date!

EDIT: Never mind

Pit stops just aren't as exciting now that there's no chance for Ferrari to drag a fueling rig down pitlane.

I doubt Ferrari will be slow again, just like I doubt Webber will be slow again. In the race the Ferrari's weren't even that slow, they just got fucked on the start. I think it will be an interesting race regardless as there is always a high chance of rain!

So the start of the race is the reason Alonso finished 30 seconds off Vettel?

Well there's track position to consider too. Vettel had a clear road ahead the entire race (granted he said he cruised to the finish). Everyone else, maybe bar Hamilton and Petrov, had to contend with traffic - which holds you up.

No one's arguing that Ferrari are on par with RBR but I don't think they're actually 30 sec off the pace.

They did set the fastest laps of the race after all. Like Nathan said, we aren't arguing that they are as fast as RBR, and I hope they aren't, just don't expect them to start the race basically in 8th in Malaysia. Then again it could rain and Ferrari are retarded when it rains usually.

Kind of news. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/form...e/12996753.stm

I love this new live streaming of P1 and P3 on speed its fantastico.

[Hick]

this is going to be a good race.

Damn, what a start by Heidfeld. First stop and a bad outlap has killed his race. :(


EDIT: Take that back.. hell of a race! Heidfeld did a great job. Too bad for Alonso cause he had 3rd place. Looks to me like Hami moved over as Alonso was moving and that was enough.

Petrov motocrossing... kinda like Glock in Australia a couple yeas back. Time to fix that

[elsabor67]

Looked like Petrov's steering column came undone and completely lost it. He was having a really good pace. Kudos to Heidefeld & Button.

Vettels car is literally untouchable. Right now there is no car out there that can even come close to it!!!!

I couldn't agree more. Talented kid in an outstanding car is a recipe for win. By the looks of the start of this season I'm confident he'll take it again this year.

Anyone have a link to a torrent for the race? I completely missed it thanks to working nights....

[Plastic Emperor]

Thought it was a good race....behind Vettel anyway

I got my Mom hooked on F1 now. Haha the benifits are I get to go over to my parents and watch it in HD with a big TV and she makes snacks and stays up for the race with us.

Another great race by Vettel! Heidfeld, what a great start by him and Petrov. To bad he went supercross there at the end.

The only thing I was pissed about is the Alonso/Hamilton incident. Both of them were just like. "Hey, its racing, it happens" which is the right attitude to have. But the stewards gave them both 20 second penalties? for fucking what? Alonso's was for hitting Hamilton and Hamilton's was for being to defensive? What a fucking Joke.

Fuck, I couldn't believe the 20 second penalty on BOTH of them. One or the other, oh, alright, Stewards have to get paid too, sure... but both? C'mon..
