Saw the highlights. Seems like without the use of traction control, we will see alot of crushes this year.
And only 9 cars finished this race!
Never create what you can't control
Actually, Australian GP in my mind seems don't seem to be very kind to the cars. I don't quite remember the last few years, but in the debut year of Mark Webber, only 7 or 8 cars finished the race, isn't it?
Am not about to put the above down as traction control (or the lack of it)... yet, but do expect to see hard crashes in upcoming races should there be one. Tyre wear management would be crucial as an indirect result of traction control ban.
its gonna be an interesting season
not to mention gearboxes need to last 4 races now, or a 5-position penalty
somewhat similar to the 10-position penalty for engines that can't last 2 races
It is nice to see a Williams back to the podium

Actually, they have exceeded expectations, sometimes even shading the Honda team on more than one occasion.
But if ever there are takers, they would have to be prepared to design and build their own cars (read: $$$$$$) as customer cars are to be prohibited from 2010.
Anyone actually tried our local race's simulator ? http://www.singtelrace.com
You are even entitled to book a timeslot to try a real simulator (with G-force)
Have fun.
Montreal GP 2008.
Hamilton ran into Raikonnen's rear in the pit lane *ouch!!*and caused both to retire.

Great win by BMW.
Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg will move back 10 places in the next race.

Why do the problem with red lights always happen in the Canada GP? Massa and Fisichella ran foul with this in 2007, now it's Hamilton and Rosberg.
Err... What happened?! Hahahaha...
Saw the news, and winners are from BMW?!
Ham is rain master at Silverstone!!

Anyone saw the rabbits running around at the British GP? I thought it was really funny.
Theres been suicidal bunnys at Silverstone for years.
Days like that famous day, inwhich Hamilton won, makes me proud to be British
Quality race, in the first 3 laps i think there must have been atleast half the cars spun off once. And by the end of the race Hamilton was the only one not to go off the track once and he only put a few wheels on the grass at one point round Becketts corner.

Massa would have gotten very high scores (6 from me under the old scoring system) for his single/double/triple Axels and spins. In figure skating competition of course.
Alonso my fav. driver!! Hes the one that went neck to neck with the great M.S before he retired. A good driver in a slower car now.cant forget how he tackle an S-curve in the previous renault he drove, he practically flew straight into them with wheels bouncing off. Was so determined to win at that time that he was grasping for air and had problem standing properly at the podium. My Hero
Why why!?!? I think HAM should not get penalized!! What a race. SPA!! one of the oldest track in EuropE!!!! He did it until the steward decided to make the F1 season more exciting by allowing Massa to close the gap by 2 points!!!

As an englishmen i think its outragous. Ok he cut the corner and gained the lead - but immediately gave it back. Records show he was 6 tenths of a second slower over the line than Raikonen, was just unlucky he didnt see the pass coming at the first corner. Appaling decision. Gutted would be an understatement

Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
Read from the newspaper report that Hamilton was 6km/hr slower then Kimi when Kimi overtake him. It's as though Hamilton was holding at a speed knowing that Kimi will overtake him but he has enough rev to catch up with Kimi when Kimi overtook him. Smart eh?!
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
Yes, that fact was what i was trying to say, but me not officially knowing what to put ahah
Smart indeed, but maybe not the correct choice. I still think that over the course of the lap he would have edged ahead of Kimi, he looked so out of his depth in those conditions.
Since the turning off of traction control this year, Kimi hasnt quite been able to make the car stick on the track when it mattered, whilst Hamilton and Massa have shown there pedigree.
Dissapointing outcome, but from a sporting perspective, it certainly makes it interesting going into Monza and the 4 remaining races after that
