2011 Formula 1 Grand Prix Season

XabbaRus · 03-24-11, 02:39 PM

The first race is upon us.

Are Red Bull going to sweep the board again with Vettel retaining his title?

Are Ferrari going to usher in the age of Alonso? Can Schumi surprise, and can Mclaren with Jenson and Lewis over turn their terrible testing form and surprise anyone?

Also on the lookout for young talent.

Mark Webber?

With this season's boat load of changes (movable wings, no f ducts, new rubber, the Return of KERS, and engines driven by environmentally sustainable hamsters) there are no sure-fire bets, but I'm thinking that the Evil Empire has something very hot under the cowling of the F 150 superscript 'O," and love him or hate him, Alonso is the best pilot to have when things are tight. I just hope that whats-his-name for Red Bull -Justin Beiber?- gets bitch-slapped by Mark Webber and cries. Just once.

It is just too bat that Kubica won't be in the drivers seat at the start of the season, maybe even the entire season. One of the few good things out of Poland ever

I read this, in the first practice for Sunday's Formula 1 premiere was the Red Bull drivers Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, fastest. The second exercise was twice McLaren at the top by Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton.

Whats everyone's opinion of Bernie Ecclestones suggestion of using "fake rain" to make races more exciting. As if last season wasn't exciting enough, Herr Bernie wants to put rain in....

Half right.

You've got to admire BE's business acumen. He's a right bastarge but he knows how to make a dollar.

I'd like to wee Mark Webber get a win at Melbourne, particularly if this is his last year in F1. He should have the car to do it, though Red Bull looks like putting all its support behind Vettel again this year.

Interesting that JB and LH were fastest. I've read some commentary writing off McLaren this year. I hope its another close season with a group of drivers getting wins rather than just a procession.

Like taking away dates from Europe where the sport was born and loved, and selling it away to repressive oil sheiks only in the interest of money.

Loved how we had to miss the season opener this year........

Of course Bahrain is about as exciting as watching two flys scrog on your window seal on a sunday morning.

I've watch the 1pm re-run just right for a spot of lunch.

I never said he give a rats clacker about the fans. As long as he keeps his wallet fat he's a happy man. And you hve to admit, he's good at keeping his wallet filled.
