Damn clutch. Raikonen didnt finish Qualification and he starts from 16th, at least Massa did well. Anyway Im happy to see that egoistic Alonso 14th , GREAT LAST LAP FOR KUBICA, he is becoming my most admired driver everyday. Just wanted to share this with you. My prognosis for race:
1. Kovalainen 2. Kubica 3. Massa
Hamilton will crash in that wall on last corner or in that other wall in middle of the lap. Massa was reserved because of that clutch thing with Raikonen. He didnt even drive 2nd half of the 3rd round in qualifications. Kovalainen solid and that will keep him ahead. I was waiting for season without all those electronic gadgets and here it is. Everyone watch race tommorow because Formula 1 is once again what it should be.

Has it begun yet? I used to watch it when Senna was still around. These last few years hasn´t been exciting for brasilians with weak Barichello. Now hopes are a little bit higher with Massa, but let´s wait and see what happens.

People watch race tommorow Formula, real one not some remotely computer driven cars, is back. And yes Lewis Hamilton will crash because he dont know how to drive with no traction control and stuff. That is why Kovalainen will win hes so cold and Raikonen is too far behind. But watch the race and trust me on that one. Slides and everything, i cant wait to see that in race.

this is one of the sports that i really love to watch! though it was a total let down when ferrari driver michael schumacher retired. it just got a bit boring, but last season was simply exceptional, with the rookie hammilton. i'm still a ferrari fanboi so still betting with kimi, just got surprised with the level of performance of the BMW saubers.

Yes BMW is running even better this year as it seems, and they have two really good if not excellent drivers on their team. If that Q result is not because it is empty tank than they could go for 2nd in constructors.

It took me few months to recover from that unlucky engine failure in last season. No engine failures for 4 years and it had to be that race. HC Schummy fan, still hoping he will return.
SENNA
GRANDMASTER, I was watching that race and couldnot get up from bed for some time. I still get cramps (i think it is said like that) when i remember or see that accident again.
Lewis Hamilton. I dont know i think he wouldnot profit from new rules i think hell end up like Villeneuve. I liked his aggresive style but he is too aggresive and it looks like he will be out race more than in it, same clutch has to work for 4 races, traction control is out, and he will destroy hes clutch or end up in gravel or wall. But it was nice to see complete rookie doing better than world champion Alonso, hihihihi.
------------ For all those who decide to watch and are not into it, race starts at 5:00 AM GMT or 11:00 PM EST.

Predo, the whole country was paralized and in shock that sunday. Senna was a hero to many people here. Because of him many would wake up early on sunday just to watch a car race. That same sunday I went in the afternoon to a football game and the whole stadium was cheering his name, it was something I will never forget.

Damn my whole skin went haywire. Thanks for vid. I came home that night around 5:00 AM and race was in 2:00 Pm so i waked up into race didnt even drink any coffee. The moment i saw medics starting reviving him with i knew it. Chopper was circling on top of them.
When I learned about Schumi on the seat of a ferrari for testing, my hopes are up a bit that he will be racing again.lets just hope that it will be sooner rather than later.
When i saw him first season after he retired at pit stop with undefined function at Ferrari, i hoped that he will return. I think that Formula 1 chiefs had to remove him or they would lose money from sponsors if he would win every race.

At Senna's I wasn't a big fan of formula one, however, i have watched some of his races and story through the discovery channel and all i can say is that he was one of the greatest driver.

well after the first race of the season and a lewis hamilton win... i dont like to say i told you so but..... lol. Thats one of many predictions that comes into fruition in the near future ha ha.
Hamilton showed just how good he is - and proved most people here wrong
What was really surprising was the disappointing performance Raikonen. So many mistakes which was very unexpected. I expected him to have a perfect race and the less experienced Hamilton to slide off track a little.
Still great race, lets hope the season continues like this!

Hamiltons win in Adelaide has nothing to do with his driving skills. If that last safety car happened only 3 or 4 laps after he did, Hamilton would have been 2nd. Another thing why he won is because of safety cars divided race into smaller chunks he never had any car in front of him so you cannot talk about his great driving day.

It is tough to go up the ladder from behind and i think that 2nd safety car made him go crazy (if such thing can happen). Ferrari, you can see i made no posts yesterday, lost some money on poker, tilted after few days for first time. It seems to me there were more mechanical problems then Ferrari admitted and that is not good.
