Re: F1 season gets underway!

Interesting race. . . loved the new qualifying process. . .

Great result for Red Bull and DC, interesting tactic by BAR to retire their two cars on the last lap so they can use new engines at the next race.

If this race is the way things are going to go this year, we might have a more eventful F1 calender then in previous years.

the only reason why it was so eventful was because of the rain in quali. big ups to renault with fisi criusing out front and alonso gighting his way through the pack. they look like real contenders this year and malaysia shoudl be good too with both bar's having new engines.

way to go Renault!

I hope they keep it up for a while...

I agree, the weather had a hell of a lot to do with the outcome of the race. . . but with the fact that so many races take part in europe where the weather changes so dramatically from one day to the next, hopefully we will see more interesting races.

as much as i want a more level playing feild, you really can t bash ferrari, you need to bash everyone else. they do their best and go the extra step.

what the rest of the teams are doing to them is like if the NBA had a guy who shot 90% from 3 point range and they eliminated the 3 pointer because of him and its the same the thing the NBA did after chamberline. they alter the rules to stop the best......

LETS GO RUEBINO!!!!!! :P :P :P :P :P

also wanna see Kimi come on strong, the kid is a class act and a brilliant driver, expcet him to beat JPM alot this year. :RockOn:

1. FISICHELLA Renault 1h24m17.336s

I think he's gonna be the man to watch this year. But we'll have to wait and see. That was a pretty interesting race. I know schumi was a tad off when he didn't even get to finish the race.
