    Can't those guys in Bahrain just stop protesting for one weekend, F1 is suppose to start, ah well I guess it's better they cancelled it. ;)

    Can't wait for this season, New cars are looking great, I think Mercedes should be solid this season, the cars also probably one of the best looking of the 2011 machines.

    Great web site this

    26 days to Australia (or thereabouts) isn't too bad.

    I'm looking forward to this season, more dodgy team orders, surprise results etc. 3 Brits in there this year and I'll be interested to see how they do.

    Looking forward to the Moto GP season even more.

    ah The Scuderia!

    Ferrari is no doubt going to be quick this season, I like Alonso, not thrilled about the "Massa, Alonso is quicker than you"

    As I'm also A Massa fan and don't think he get's the respect he deserves, before his accident he was having a solid season, and the season before that he showed enough class to make me a supporter of him.

    I'm glad it's starting in Australia again, that Bahrain GP last year was awful.

    I'll always cheer Ferrari!

    Massa is definitely a likeable guy, but he was out of it last season. I hope he is a contender this year (along with Alonso, of course, who really impressed the second half of the season).
    RBR is still the team to beat, in my opinion (not that I'm an expert).

    The new Mercedes does look really good. Schumacher probably out for redemption as he was passed like he was standing still by just about everyone last season. Alonso will be in the hunt to run down the Red Bulls but they will be tough to beat again.

    Hope Kubica makes a full recovery. Almost lost his hand in that crash.

    I root for everyone BUT ferrari :lol:
    The red bulls will be very tough to beat. Really all I care about is having a competitive season with multiple winners and the championships coming down to the last race.

    You're one of the rare breeds though that dislikes Ferrari but retains an objective viewpoint ;)
    Hopefully the Red Bulls don't destroy everyone.

    Schumi was rusty last season, make some big mistakes, but near the close of 2010 he started to get his aim in the right direction, I think with a good car he'll be battling it out for wins.

    Kubica is/was one of the best drivers on the grid, a truly skilled driver. But that was a big accident he had,

    Yeah since the honda and aguri teams bowed out, I have zero loyalty. I do tend to root for jenson and I do like hambone over alonso ;)

    Just excited for the season to begin!

    One more week until we get to see what the teams are bringing to the party.
    VERY excited for qualifying.
    I hope Peter Windsor is back doing the on track interviews.
    Cars look good, 107 rule in effect to eliminate the slow cars on race day, lift of the team orders ban, Pirelli tires.

    Should be a good season.

    Go Jenson and Kamui. And I have to say a part of me is rooting for Renault after the Kubica accident.

    I love watching Kobayashi drive! He's for sure a real racer, attacks and is not scared to make moves. What exactly is the 107 rule?

    In Formula One, the 107% rule is a Sporting Regulation that affects qualifying sessions from the beginning of the 2011 season as well as previous qualifying sessions from the beginning of the 1996 season until the end of the 2002 season. It stipulates that a driver who does not lap within 107% of the pole position time during the hour-long session the day before the race will not be eligible to compete in the race, subject to the discretion of the stewards.

    The 107% rule was reintroduced for the 2011 season with minor modifications due to the knock-out qualifying session format.

    I had to look it up myself.
