ENw ferrari car released today. Always an exciting day when Ferrari release the car.

Very interested in how this one will run because while i no nothing about aerodynamics the open nose at the front along with the curved front to the nose just looks to me like a paragliders shoot so if the cars going 186mph wont it just take off rather than help the downforce :S

for those who havent seen it yet.

first q1 of the year done

raikkonen out after an awful mistake, good to see midpack teams like sauber/toro rosso looking quick, mercedes look very fast. the ferrari looks like utter shit again, plus hrt really need to fuck off. waste of space. marussia car looks good (visually)

sky commentary. david croft is giving me the shits.

the ferrari looks oh so bad, somehow worse than last season. no rear end grip whatsoever, massa continuing to be average. good to see ricciardo make the top 10. williams look good too, maldonaldo especially with that lap until the slight mistake at the end. but fuck, the mercedes look to have stepped it up this season. rosberg in particular looks fantastic

Need to get you facts straight mate, Seb fucked up his last run and has had limited running with the new upgrade compared to Webber who was able to do 70 odd laps before Melbourne where as Seb barely did 30.

Lewis 1st to 3rd, Seb 6th to 2nd :flip

He gets a better car than Seb for once and he can barely keep up with Seb let alone even challenging Jenson.

So much for being Senna's equal LOL!!!! :rolleyes:

More like season over for Lewis WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.:terry had a face like thunder.

Fantastic from Grosjean for sure. Also agree with Mercedes being the dark horses this season. Hopefully Schumy gets a win this year, at the least, a podium. Same for Rosberg. As for Ferrari, hard to find words to describe them. Too early in the season to call their car completely trash.

Think its all set up for a fantastic race tomorrow. Ultimately, Hamilton or Button will win it. As for third place, 5 picks. I'll go with Webber.

Oh it's going to be a fun season if it carries on how in the way it's started.

To think I got stick at the end of last season for saying Ferrari would be closer to Mercedes than the top two this time round. They have serious issues and Mercedes look strong. FORZA FERRARI!

highly entertaining race (as always really). great drive from button. felt bad for maldonaldo at the end there, deserved to get some points for a great drive. alonso proving to be the miracle worker again and dragging that red steaming pile of crap into 5th. ricciardo getting points, woo. mercedes incredibly disappointing in the race, didnt have anywhere near the pace of the mclaren's/red bull's.

Good race to start the season.

Button with a composed drive, deserved the win. Hamilton unlucky to not get second, two disastrous pit stops. Mercedes disappointed big time. Red Bull clearly up there with McLaren as teams to beat at the moment. Maldonado shouldn't be allowed in an F1 car again. What a drive from Alonso, definitely the driver of the day, especially considering how inept Massa looked in that car. Great to see Kimi come through and get 7th, hopefully we'll see him competing for podiums soon.

Your excuses for Lewis' fuck ups get more and more laughable by the month and so you have to fabricate facts in your own imagination to try and achieve it.

Face it Seb, Lewis fucked up the start, he couldn't keep up with Jenson and he got soundly "out raced" by Vettel in a slower car.

Ran Grosjean off the track even after he yielded room, looked like having an accident a few times up against Alonso, and then has that big crash at the end. It was hyperbole, but still, a horrendous display of driving.

Wasn't impressed with him last season either tbh.

We have Alexander Wurz as a co-commentator on TV. He is very experienced, klowledgable and highly entertaining.

This season he also started mentoring Maldonado and over the course of the race he talked a lot about Maldonado's perfomance in different situations - good or bad.

Obviously a very disappointing ending.



Great race overall, enjoyed it a lot. Think it is going to be one hell of a season. Very competitive and lots of "big" names. Also some young guys, who want to establish their spot - it's gonna be great.

Can see why people think Maldonado is terrible, he does make very silly mistakes and crashes. But, I'll give him a bit more time before drawing my judgment on him. He had a promising race today, except when ousting Grosjean off the track. Surprised he wasn't given a penalty. But, consistency is never there. Another thing on Maldonado, battered Senna over the weekend. Whether Maldonado is given the better car, thats a different story. But wouldn't surprise me if his sponsors had told Williams to give him all the best upgrades.

No surprise the Mclaren ran away with this race. Dominant qualifying. But the Red Bull was a bit closer than qualifying pace showed. They had a nice drive. Still sceptical on the Ferrari. Alonso's rivals had either crashed or fell behind, and Massa was terrible. Nico was a bit silly with the tyres, burned through them, and was left with nothing when every other car had that bit more. Wasn't helped by the Maldonado crash, think he was the one who took all the depris. Great for Kimi to score well on his return. The midcard racing this season will be fantastic. They all seem to be around the same pace.

Also, thought the BBC coverage was great. All they've seem to have done is taken out the dead air and made the show faster paced. Bring on Malaysia.

i enjoyed the BBC coverage i thought i'd miss brundle but i really didnt i thought the commentary moved up a notch without him. i was happy with ricciardo and felt sorry for maldonado he has improved since last season no matter what other people said yes he was there for the money but last year i classed him and senna on the same level and clearly this year maldonado has moved up a level. i was surprised on how easy button won by. he didnt run away but he controlled and wasnt in any danger of moving down to 2nd
