Grand Prix-F1

[Ponting_14]

Same system as last year.

Hmm they were saying something about it during the race today. I was not really sure. I like never really get to watch qualifying.

 

[Ponting_14]

Raikkonen wins the Australian Grand Prix

His first win for Ferrari.

Alonso came 2nd and his teammate Hamilton came 3rd. Also Massa came 6th

great win for kimi also great finish for Hamilton on debut
Massa did well considering from where he started although he could hav overtaken Fisichella

 

[surendar]

Yep, I watched the whole thing (really should have gone )

By the way by the looks of things next years Australian Grand Prix will start at night. They said something about a 8:30pn start

Bloody typical isn't it, I manage to stay awake for 50 minutes of the build-up then fall asleep!! Anyway, I have watched it as I recorded it.

I got three right in my prediction anyway:

1. Raikkonen
2. Alonso
3. Heidfeld
4. Hamilton
5. Kubica
6. Massa
7. Fisichella
8. Webber

What a fantastic debut for Lewis Hamilton. Until Sato decided to be a plonker and block him he was well on course for second, but even so, what a fantastic result.

although he could hav overtaken Fisichella

To be fair to Massa, it seems even harder this year to overtake, although Rosberg might have something to say about that! It is so hard to follow another car now because of the aerodynamics.

I hope Kovalainens problems where his nerves, 3 more races like that and he'll be gone quicker than an abandoned pasty lorry in Bristol!

The Ferrari's looked very hooked up too, barring when Massa was behind the Hondas. Also Coulthard was very lucky, on another day he could've decapitated Wurz.

I believe next race is at Malaysia. Hope the same combo Massa/Kimi to dominate in Sepang circuit I read from net that Massa seems to be very determined for this one.. lets see how it goes.

Btw, India to present plans for F1 in July :happy

F1 in India would be great but if it had to match cricket in terms of popularity we need to have an Indian driver racing in F1.

And I am expecting a McLaren 1-2 at Sepang.

Second biggest potential market in the world, why not? The Indians enjoy flamboyancy in their sports don't they? I believe Drag Racing is getting bigger out their too, like it is in the Middle East.

More chance of a McLaren 3-4 and a Ferrari 1-2. Have you seen Raikkonen's pace during the second test day today?

 

[Sureshot]

Honda's seem hopelessly slow once again, this time at Sepang.

8AM British time start for the race on Sunday.

Now Michael Schumacher has retired.......it's still Ferrari.

Fernando Alonso has won the championship for the last two seasons in a Renault, but is now in a McLaren.

Ahhhh, David Leslie. Always enjoyed playing bumper cars in the BTCC! He's now quite possibly the most boring commentator on the planet....

O i knew about Schumacher and Alonso, i meant this season, i have not been keeping up to date.

Yer David Leslie was in ma dads car in 1978 when he won the championship, then ma dad went to Formula Ford and Leslie followed. I think they won a championship there too.
