From what the announcers were saying the flex in the front was bad. I'm not sure though.

The pits stops were hilarious, first the fire with Massa and then BMW with the wheel nut incident

^ That was good.

Way to go Massa/Ferrari!

Yeah I saw that whole thing about the front wing flexing. They were commenting on how Ferrari's seems stiffer. I guess their going to look into it, because you can't have any self adjusting aerodynamics in F1.

I'm sorry guys but I don't think Hamilton is a likeable guy. Just some of the comments about his wanting to leave the UK because he was getting mobbed by fans ... I thought the whole point of this is to cater to fans. Happy that Massa won the race but I'm really pulling for the Sauber BMWs this year ...

stupid kimi, he spilled his pepsi on the steering wheel causing the car to die on him. i guess he really should buckle down and stop slackin if he hopes to win. drinking pepsi and driving may not be the best choice, even though it was still enough to keep the wild alonzo behind him.

I doubt the FIA will do anything about Mclaren's moveable front wing. There is no way they are going to knock F1's current "Golden Boy" from first place.

Well the UK media is really crazy so if the guy is in a situation where he and his family can't lead normal lives then its understandable if he needs to live somewhere more quiet. I doubt it reflects any sort of negative behavior.

I also hope that the Bimmers are seriously challenging the Ferraris and Mclaren by mid-late season. We need to see more passing up front!

^ let them go back to turbo cars while keeping the same aerodynamic rules and using full slicks. a 2.0 liter 1300 hp engine will definately seperate the men from the boys!

i wish we went back to the turbo era. imagine a 1.5 liter 1300 hp car with the same aerodynamics as now but using full slicks with no traction control.
that would seperate the men from the boys.
i still cannot fathom massa winning 2 in a row!









double posting !!!!

Remember, Kimi has a tendency to fall asleep...that's probably what happened

Alonso moved out of Spain for the same reason...I wouldn't like getting mobbed all the time either...

Hamilton not a likeble guy?
This guy is a poster boy for charm compared to the lot of egotistical spoiled brats that populate the F1 paddock. Not likeble is JV, or that whiner Button, or thin-skinned DC....

Sorry but I think that line of reasoning is Oxymoronic. If you participate in a "sport" that is "fan" based/supported then it is given that the fame it begets will draw a lot of attention from people. IMHO its part of the job, just like actors and their fans. If you don't like the attention then you probably shouldn't be in that line of work. Kinda follows the saying "you can't eat your cake and have it too".

People who don't appreciate their fans get the from me ...
