Kimi told reporters before the last race that the championship is out of reach for Ferrari, the team principals agreed

 

You beat me to it.

 

 

...or the iceman and team are getting in the head of the other teams. I would never rule out Ferrari, they have had their off years for sure. Theres just too much of 2009 left to say they are going to be back markers.

I think its actually a good thing that mclaren and Ferrari are somewhat challenged this year. We are seeing some awesome racing, passing and new faces.

I think that we also are seeing some awesome performances from vettel, and can you believe webber ? not to mention red bull podiums ? With motor sport sponsorship what it is, seeing a red bull team on the podium and not a manufacturer only sponsored car has the potential to bring more branson's to the table....

I am really enjoying the passing tho. Sure Kimi's not winning and he is my favorite driver, but good racing: thats cool!!!

 

We're three races in, the way this season is going I wouldn't rule out Force India for a championship... well OK maybe Force India, LOL.

I also don't think Ferrari have a shot in the dark to comeback strong enough to claim either championship, but I have seen much more drastic changes inside an F1 season before. But we can all be sure that Ferrari won't be just pulling a Honda and scrapping this year's car to concentrate on the F2010 anytime soon.

 

With many competitive cars, it's harder to predict the championship. If Braun falls off and Ferrari got a couple 1-2 finishes they'd be right back in it.

If anything, Braun was hurt because the half-point race in Malaysia and the rain in China. They really easily could have 54 points right now.

 

I'm not saying there going to win the Constructors again, I'm just saying that they haven't written off the season and the car yet thats all people... Were only three races in.

 

I'm don't like what I'm seeing in these practice times...

Crazy hot in Bahrain... 97 degrees today, track temp was around 130F I think. We'll see how long the supersoft last in those conditions...

 

should make for an interesting qualifying



Anyone else think Senna should be brought in to drive for Renault?

 

Are you trying to say NPJR is not worthy of his seat...? If so, then yes... Bruno or DeGrassi...

 

Yes that is it, He has flashes of brilliance but has 4 1/2 races in between each flash.

 

Toyota's seem to be the litest cars on the grid, the Brawn's look lite too for where they qualified. Should make for a good race, lets hope it doesn't sandstorm *crosses fingers*.

 

Was really hoping NP wasn't going to make Q2 I was excited to see Senna when he was supposed to drive for brawn, why must i keep waiting

 

I think the best part of the whole race was NP holding of RB for all those laps, his use of KERS was great to watch. I think that is really going to help him keep his job for a while longer.

As the season goes on i really find myself being a Vettel fan! I Can't help but think that MM and Ferrari will be making a huge play for in the off season. Witch leads me to ask the question, who would Ferrari dump to pick up Vettel?

 

Kimi.

I believe a year or two ago he stated that he didn't have the passion to race anymore or something. That is when all the Alonso talks started to come in to play for Ferrari.
