Damn right. I always wanted to see Kubica in Ferrari though things are not looking bright for him anymore

PEREZ

5 laps !!!!

by **SeeForever** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 1:20 pm

Always love a rain race, but this was even better than last week!!

If only Sauber had brought in Perez at the same time as Alonso I think we would have had a different winner (though maybe he would have gone wide then too), who would have thought they would be the top 2 after qualifying only 8th and 9th??!! And that no one got anywhere near them when they changed to slicks

Karthikejan involved in more incidents though that was Jenson's fault as they were battling for position at the time, race ruined totally as a result

As for Massa, another terrible race can't see him staying at Ferrari much longer, he's never been the same since the accident sadly

Great race! Perez thoroughly deserved #1 though - amazing drive. Good drives from Alonso and Senna too.

Bit gutted for Button. Alonso at #1 and Massa at #15 - says quite a bit about Massa.

First race that I have caught this season as I missed the last one.

What a great race! I love it when the rain throws up a few surprises. Great races for Perez & Alonso. It's refreshing to see Red Bull's dominance on the wane. Those Ferrari pit stops were brilliant!

I have finally torrented the race and watched it from start to finish!

I was shouting and jumping on my chair for Perez to pass that person who has been too lucky throughout his career! Though at one point I sensed some dictation in the form of " Perez, we need this (18) points!"

Did you know that Sauber uses Ferrari engines and Ferrari have been underperforming for a long time... think about this :wink:

On the other hand I'm looking forward to seeing Kimi on podium, once again he showed the potential!

Redbulls are nowhere near the dominance they had last year which is a good thing. We should not get ahead of ourselves though since they have Adrian Newey always behing them.

PS: Sky Sports are doing an AMAZING job, the presentations, the graphics, the commentaries are brilliant!

1-2 for Mercedes, so so happy for Rosberg! Can't wait for the start and race!

And seriously big LOL at Vettel!

by **Spartan** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 4:11 pm

I loved how inconsistent the grid has been this year. I don't think anyone would have predicted the top three like that. Pleased for Rosberg, he seems like a cool chap.

And yes, LOL @ Vettel.

This the first All Mercedes front row on the grid since The Italian Grand Prix in Monza in 1955

So happy for Rosberg, OMG brilliant job!

What a fiasco for Kimi!

by **Play** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 11:19 am

I'm so glad to see that we have a new race winner in the form of Nico Rosberg!

Though I'm so furious at Lotus for making such a ** ******* **** ***** ** tyre strategy for Kimi! :evil:

by **Spartan** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 2:50 pm

Some brilliant driving in that race. The last 15 laps were so intense/arousing.

It was just a fantastic race all round really. Very pleased for Nico!

I was briefly discussing this with Ste, but what's everyone's thoughts on the Bahrain race? Should it go ahead?

I'm not up-to-date with political issues and I don't know the severity of the situation but by the sounds of it, it's not a very safe place to be at the moment. In my opinion, they should maybe cancel it. I don't see the necessity to jeopardise the safety and well-being of everyone in all the teams. It just a shame that this sport/Bernie Ecclestone is so money-obsessed.

Force India #F1 team attacked with petrol bomb in Bahrain

will they cancel the GP in last minute?

by **Play** » Thu Apr 19, 2012 9:43 am

They should have cancelled it already a month ago!!!

Bernie is so damn avaricious that I can't believe it :evil:

Vettel back to his weave-snatching ways in qualifying, I see. Glad to see Ricciardo, Grosjean Di Resta and Perez make the Top 10. Four good up-and-coming drivers.

I think that Rosberg would be pretty close to the Vettel even faster of him, but he made an mistake in one of the corners, that definitely took some time to him.

Good race today, really surprised with Renault's form, where the hell they were last year :roll:

Good strategy for Di Resta and what a bad luck for Jenson.

There will be probably some penalty for Rosberg soon.

And now 3 weeks break, I can't wait that much :evil:

by **Spartan** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 2:53 pm

Oh, I hope this isn't the start of Vettel going back to his winning ways. Decent-ish race, no where near as exciting as last week.

Good drives for Grosjean and Di Resta, bummed for Button though.

by **Play** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 11:13 pm

I was trying to watch the race and understand what's happening... thank god there wasn't much events because I was drunk!

I loved to see Kimi on podium and I'm sooo sure he'll win some races... Spa maybe 8-)

Hamilton's been stripped from pole due to insufficient fuel quantities, he's now starting from the back. This means Maldanado starts from pole.

That's ridiculous! So is Maldanado on pole. :lol:

Looking forward to this one!
