    Mercedes GP on the front row! Ferrari and Red Bull are struggling bad. Going to be an interesting race. So far Rosberg has fallen way off pace once the race starts, wonder if he can keep it up. He's going to be under incredible pressure on the first lap.

    What a stunning lap by Nico! I'm happy for him, it was nice to watch. Yea Lets see how that first lap goes like you said "incredible pressure"!

    :corn:

    Should be fun, I'm sooo staying up for the race.

    You can expect that trend to continue. If Ferrari's updates at Catalunya don't bring them up to the level of the Mercs and McLarens they won't be coming close (again) this year.

    Just watched the race last night, although the winner and the Ferrari results had already been spoiled on me (bastards!).
    Everyone said it was exciting to watch but I did not think so. 2-10th were all bunched up yeah, that's all fine and good but it's only because they only had 3 or 4 spots in which they were able to go off line. Those Pirelli marbles do a lot of damage to racing. And the same suspects ended up finishing at the front, that didn't help (f%@# you McLaren!).

    Good on Rosberg for finally winning. The Mercedes should have been capable since Australia...

    Great race!

    Congradulations Maldonardo and the Williams Team. It's great to see them back on the top step of the podium.

    An excellent 70th birthday present for Frank Williams :clap::clap:

    Yea! And it's also great having Kimi back, that guy makes me laugh.

    I like Schumacher but I don't think he was right in calling Senna an "idiot" for that crash. (he said it during an interview)

    Btw did you catch any post race action? In the Williams garage they had a pretty bad fire. good thing no serious injuries.

    :shock: :shock: WOW!! I missed that. The race doesn't finish in Australia until about midnight on a Sunday night so I'm usually asleep 5 minutes after the checkered flag drops :yawn:

    I was looking forward to seeing Schumacher make some moves, sadly the whole start was a mess! I do like webber, he seems like a cool guy, so its good to see him do well.

    Happy to see Massa find some speed, I think people are too hard on him. Hes a good driver and has got skill.

    Next, Canadian GP!

    My Scoundrel boss was at the race :twisted: Nice drive from Webber. Vary sneaky how he held up the pack to so Sebastian could grab a couple of places.

    Talk about crashing back to earth for Maldonardo!! :shock:

    Man I love Monarco :mrgreen:

    I bet the boss had fun! :D

    Yea Webber held the pack up nicely hahah. As for Maldonado, he did seem a bit arrogant after his win in Spain and it seemed to show during this whole weekend, well maybe that's a bit unfair for me to say, nevertheless he had one strange weekend, but that's F1.

    Alonso leading the championship, yet that Ferrari is below par right now. That guy can drive,

    6 races, 6 different winners, and Montreal is usually a wild and unpredictable race. Can't wait!

    Clearly enthusiastic about his new project, Ron Howard does not claim to be a Formula 1 fan. In fact, Howard only discovered its appeal from Peter Morgan’s script. “These are fascinating characters– ballsy, masculine guys. It was a very dangerous era in racing, and here are two absolute individuals at the height of their powers. It makes for great drama and very exciting action. I wasn’t a die-hard Formula 1 fan before I read Peter’s script, but I’ve been immersing myself in this world. I think the excitement I feel as a fresh convert may be infectious.”

    Interesting. He is not known to make crappy movies, but I hope he has a lot of input from F1 fanatics ... the last thing you want is another movie like Driven. Even though Sly was in it, I walked out of the theater early ... and I'm usually a huge fan of crappy Stallone movies! :shock:

    A nice preview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-xqy-ksqvs

    It's looking cool,

    It was a shame Michael didn't get to start from pole. I've always rated Vettel as really good driver. I wonder whats going on with him at the moment.

    Love Alonso. I think he is one of the more genuine guys in the paddock.

    Good to see Massa get some speed back into his bones!
    Also good drive from Webber. That said, Monaco is a shit race as usual.

    Vettel sure can drive, but he's kinda boring to watch race, unlike say Schumacher, Kimi, Alonso, Lewis. :D

    btw, if you go to YouTube, they have a lot of cool behind the scenes videos and some general F1 racing stuff from the new Sky F1 broadcast and BBC. You need to filter the searches in 'upload date' to get the most recent.

    A few people are always posting videos,

    Like this kinda stuff
