Well if the vote goes against him in June it will be interesting to see his reaction, probably go get his ass tanned red raw again. ;)

Logicallly, he should be out, but I see Jean Todt said today that M should stay on. That was kind of curious ... or jockeying to succeed?

@bert8for3: That was exactly what I was thinking when I saw Todts comments. I think its the old reverse psychology-thingy. Sneaky bastard.:lol:

Well I hope he manages to succeed.....the sport is in enough trouble and doesn't need a pervert at the helm to add to it's troubles.

Spanish GP: Dull-as-dishwater race today :down: . Watching paint dry would have been more exciting :rock: (as long as it's the quick-drying kind of paint).

Glad to see Kovalainen's ok, it was a bad shunt, and especially nasty to see how the front end of the monocoque seems to have broken off.

I do hope this isn't going to be a Ferrari 1-2 season; it looked pretty competitive at Melbourne.

Ugly aerodynamics :nope: : the Renault "sail" on the engine cover; Honda's wing things on the front top (plus they still need a paint job); BMW's wing things, but not as bad as Honda's.

Jenson did well. I was watching live timing on the net whilst listening to the race on TV and also saw that Hamilton was able to match Massa. I can't help but have the feeling that Massa could have been holding him up and if he had got passed he would have been ahead. It seems the Mclaren does prefer the prime tires than the options.

He made a blistering start though. Seems Honda are going the right way.

When has it been otherwise at the Spanish Grand Prix? :lol:

I'm happy. My man Webber picked up another bag of 4 points to go with his 7th place finishes in the last couple of races. :up:

Button did well but he did benefit big time from some silly mistakes from quicker cars over te full race. Some how ITV gave Lewis the drive of the day again. ITV loves Lewis. :damn: Can't help but feeling that Ferrari are further away from the rest than it looked in that race. Honestly don't think they were at 100%, at least Kimi that is.

I'm getting very bored with F1 time to switch and check out A1 Racing.

Hamilton is starting to find his feet after a slow start

Turkish GP was actually interesting with quite a bit of overtaking and excitement. Hamilton pulled a great move on Massa. What about HK from last up to 11th in the end.

Indeed, made a refreshing change from follow the leader which we got in the next boring race Monaco. Monaco is just a playboy race for the toffs and stinking rich, about time it was scrapped for a proper circuit.

It does tend to be processional since it's next to impossible to overtake, but it is a classic and great to watch them screaming around the tight track with barriers all over.

Ferrari front row, so barring any accidents they should have it in the bag.

DC didn't make it into Q3 as he careened off the track; but his wheel almost made it into Q3 by itself as it went rolling down the track :rotfl: .

XabbaRus 05-24-08 02:08 PM

Being a Brit disappointed Button didn't get into Q3 as it looked like he would of had DC not had the off. Also pity Hamilton isn't on pole. Good on Massa. He hates the track apparently.

I dunno, I like Massa and Raikonnen as drivers and would like LH to win the WDC as a Brit, but it's just Ferrari that bother me....Syaing htat if LH doesn't win it this year then I'll be happy should Raikonnen win it.
