I can't wait!  This promises to be a cracking season - very close and lots of drivers keen to impress with contracts up at the end of the season.  Also, Ferrari don't have much further to go in terms of development with their car and may struggle as the season progresses (will be very fast at start, though, as shown by 1st practice times).  Williams look very good, as do McLaren and Renault are improving fast.

I think this might be David Coulthard's season.  It has to be!  Ferrari possibly on the wane, his last chance and, therefore, everything to play for.  I hoping for him to win championship or, failing that, for Renault to reach the top and for Ferrari to start slipping.

Anyway, can't wait.  Roll on Sunday!

I'm not too sure about DC this year again.  I want him to win, but I can't see it happening - he's still too nice :-(

@sumner7
Yea he has a slim chance...
Bad luck ,and too cool running conditions , at the australian i think...
i noticed that bridge-stone has improved their tyres:
But it`ll be interesting to see how the Ferrari's shape up at malaysia. the Michelin's should still be very strong there.

(with the Renault cars as well...)

Leute, Leute.........

We're living in an ENERGY CRISIS

After a few decennia, there's no oil left

Spilling it for fun isn't making it any better

(bah, humbug, Verstappen won't win anyway)

True, but now that Renault have upped their game, it looks like there will be more competition for the Ferarri team.

Ok, so they blew everyone away today, but let's see what happens when Bridgestone has a bad day :-)

Well done to Webber! should be good to see also the Alonso`s renault slice up the grid (he`s starting from the back, this time)...

Shame about Webber's bad start.  Mind you, it was fantastic watching him weave his way all the way back up the grid again.

Just a pity he had more bad luck :-(

Wouldn't it be nice to see someone other than Michael Schumacher win today?

Apologies to any Schuey fans out there, but he manages to make almost everyone else look like rank amateurs...  

I'd love to see Button or Sato get a win today, but would settle for Reubens.  It's not like the Ferrari trophy cabinet is looking bare lately though isn't it?

BTW, what does everyone think of the proposed new rules?  For those who don't know the plan is an engine size reduction to 2.4 litres and 8 cylinders (how I miss the sound of Ferrari V12s!), manual gearboxes and greater opportinuty to share components between teams.

Nice to see a girl interested in F1.

I'll stick my neck out and say M.Schumacher WONT win at Indy today.

BMW ( I hate them) Williams seem to have the legs on everything on top end speed so I predict a Montoya win.

Followed by DC.  Third spot filled by possibly Ralph.



2.4 litre ?   Ugh I hope not.  leave the engines alone but do away with the electronic aids.

NO pit communications. ( Except for the old lap boards)
