[akash_reds]

today was a great race for ferrari fans(like me) dominated by massa and raikkonen....was always meant to be....hamilton had one of his few accidents:rolleyes: ......but hope now that ferrari can continue this form in the upcoming races;) :D

[Jazz 16]

Its crazy to see BMW leading the way, albeit by a point from ferrari and
2 points from McLaren.

Agree. Glad Kimi Raikkonen is back top of the World Championship. Chin up Hamilton, you drove a great race today hahaha

[akash_reds]

bmw has certainly improved......they dindt have hamilton to deal with but they dealt with kovalainen well enough...in a couple of years they could be contenders for the constructors chamionship..and maybe even the drivers championship..who knows?? ;) kubica seems to be a good driver..but i like heidfeld more....
who do you support jazz??
and obviously solsk is a ferrari fan... ;) or are you just a kimi fan??

[SolskjaertheLegend]

I like Ferrari akash, but Kimi's probably my fav driver. I was so happy when he won the championship at Hamiltons expense last year :D

[akash_reds]

i like schumi and ferrari but when he retired and ferrari took in kimi i was surprised...started supporting massa...but no headlines goes massa's way as it is all dominated by kimi :rolleyes: .....was delighted when massa won today....

[Nemanjaaa]

Yeah i think Ferrari have a stronger chance of winning the constructors this year as Maclaren are putting in some poor preformances.
I like Robert Kuibca think hes a good young driver and should be able to do quite well this year.

Dont really support anyone, just like watching a good race.
I dont like Alonso or Raikkonen. I hope Hamilton does well and the other
young drivers like Kubica and Kovalinen.
As the long as its a good race Im happy but somedays it can be a tad boring.

[Skele]

It is good to see Kimi's top form again.

[akash_reds]

the season opener race was great.......every lap someone has a big problem....how many drivers crashed??? i dont remember actually.....but it was a classic race.....

[Lawbreaker1944]

I think only 6 drivers saw the finish line. It means that two drivers were given points though they didn't complete the race. That's pretty rare in F1..

[akash_reds]

how did raikkonen get the points if he was 9th....i heard something about barrichelo doing something illegal or something....dunno what...

[Lawbreaker1944]

Barichello was disqualified for running a red light out of the pit lane.

[spellbound]

I think it was great to see Alonso finish in first row at the qualification today for the race in Barcelona.

[Zenitka]

I prefer Alonso in F1....but Moto GP the best!

[Nemanjaaa]

1. Kimi Raikkonen (Fin) Ferrari 1 min 21.813 secs
2. Fernando Alonso (Spa) Renault 1:21.904
3. Felipe Massa (Brz) Ferrari 1:22.058
4. Robert Kubica (Pol) BMW Sauber 1:22.065
5. Lewis Hamilton (GB) McLaren - Mercedes 1:22.096

For tomorrows race, Hamilton not firing very well so far this season but hopefully he can pull something out tomorrow, but i would back Raikonnen in the race tomorrow.

[akash_reds]

feel really sorry for sutil....he was looking godd for points but then raikonnen hit him....feel really sorry for him..he didnt have the best season and this was his chance to get some points at least

[Nemanjaaa]

I agree if Sutil had done to Raikonnen what Raikonnen had done to him Ferrari would go mental !

jaysus only 2 points seperate the top 4 :eek:
Its going to go to the wire like last season.

[Jazz 16]

Lewis Hamilton just won in Germany. Back to back wins...fair play to him.

[Lawbreaker1944]

It was a great and well deserved win for Lewis and his team! Yesterday, he was the fastest pilot, without any doubt.

I felt a little bit sorry because of Kimi Raikkonen's result ... .... nah, he is no more McLaren driver. I don't give a damn.

[Jazz 16]

So why did Hamilton get demoted from first to third place? :confused:
What did I miss?

[reddwarf]

I kept nodding off during the race but I'm glad I was awake for the last couple of laps because that's when it really got interesting!

The rain started falling and with the drivers all on dry tyres they started slipping and sliding all over the place. It's dangerous to stay on dry tyres in those conditions but with just 2 laps to go what can you do?

Hamilton pulled off a briliant overtaking manouveur but he and Raikonnen were really struggling to stay on the track. Raikkonen crashing out after leading for the majority of the race was unfortunate and his World title hopes are probably over now.

I think it was the events just prior to Hamilton overtaking Raikonnen that caused him to be given a penalty. He had to abort one attempt and in doing so cut across a corner and also forced Raikkonen to take evasive action, which resulted in him going off the track at one stage.

hahah me 2 i couldnt keep my eyes open half the time, F1 is really quite boring compared to moto gp

but anyway on to the F1

ending was fantastic we acually had some drama and some overtaking and crashes it was a fantastic bit of entertainment

now im not the biggest fan of hamilton well im more of not a fan of the hype that surronds him and that he clearly beleives fair enough hes good but hes no senna

but the fact he got 25seconds deducted is a JOKE he clearly did nothing wrong at all he let kimi go by then took him later on and anyway he crashed out so no advantage was really ever made

it seems clear to me the FIA have still got a thing for mclaren after last years 'spygate' saga, so i strongly doubt this will be the last time a mclaren driver gets fined or point deducted

Well while his tussle was on with Kimi Raikonen in the final laps of the race Louis Hamilton cut a chicane which gave him an advantage over Raikonen. Although he gave the place black to Raikonen by slowing down he overtook him on the same corner thus giving himself an illegal advantage.According to the rules a driver cannot gain an advantage of any kind by taken a different route on the track and Hamilton did that and was penalised with 25 seconds.
