Those are some awesome amazing times! the top 11 drivers all posting a 1.25!

Watching all this pre race stuff is making me want the race to start already! Also wanting the new F1 game more than ever!

EDIT: Hamilton has to be the BOG. Awesome drive tbh.

Awesome work to Button, Vettel (unlucky to lose it where he did) and Barichello to keep their positions

70's singer who had a string of (s)hits. I'd linky you to some youtube but my conscience won't allow it.

Excellent work by Button, you've got to admire the way he hung in there for all those years - especially in the last couple as Hamilton got all the press. And pleasing for Trulli - another guy in the twilight of his career who might just end up having the season of his life.

Oh, and big fucken downs for the BBC who completely fucked up the post-match. Interviewing Hamilton while Button was speaking then getting the synch wrong - what a bunch of useless cunts. Bring back ITV! :cussing:

Hahaha, fair enough. I googled his name and all ti came up with was random facebook pages.

I didnt realise until the press conference, Trulli started from the pits! So I take back my sentence about Hamilton, Trulli is the real winner of the day!

Totally agree, but ITV kept fucking it up last year too, was hoping they would have it sorted by now. It also happened during quali, everytime quali ended and they started filming the cars in the garage the audio from the cars going around the track was still playing or there was no sound at all.

All the bloody money in the world and they cant even get the coverage right.


Awesome race button! And great job brawn GP! Good on trulli, hopefully he has a decent car to back him up all season. What happened with Hamilton at the end? Did he pass trulli under safety car then give the position back? They never said... but he was up in 3rd then back down to 4th.

Kubica and vettel are going to be kicking themselves such a stupid mistake, 2nd and 3rd until 3 laps to go and take each other out, good to see all these great new drivers have cars to back them up though. Should make for a great season with all new teams fighting for wins.

It didnt actually finish under the safety car, they released them onto the straight but I know what you mean... it did kill the last few laps of the race.

I set up the projector in the lounge and watched the race on a massive screen :D

That sounds mean, I’m fully not looking forward to the 12am wake ups to watch the races! But it’s kind of good, I don’t like recording and watching it, just not the same. And that cock up at the end with the press conf.. some ones gona get a kick for that haha

Yay for Hamilton - up to third after the stewards gave Trulli a penalty for overtaking under the safety car. Bad luck for Trulli, but i'm sure he'll be able to make up for it during the season.

Ah so thats what happened... why cant they sort this shit out before they give out the trophies and let Hamilton stand on the podium instead of having to take it back off Trulli.

F(errari) 1 strikes again
Louis Hamilton has been stripped of his third place for apparently "intentionally misleading" the stewards over Trulli's passing manoeuvre. Hamilton was disqualified to ensure that Ferrari stays in the title hunt. :(

Nice sensationalism.

Turns out your heroes are just full of sh*t. I don't think much to do with Ferrari here.

Yea, got nothing to do with Ferrari.. There is no title fight, it is the bloody first race of the season!

Good old Webber though, Second in practice, behind Rosberg, although practice means shit all really.

The surefire test is to ask yourself what would have happened if it had been Massa or Raikonnen - nothing as always. :P

I don't support Ferrari at all, nor do I support Mclaren. I just don't think that this had anything to do with Ferrari.

Then again, would Ferrari have spied, cheated or lied and put themselves in this position in the first place?

I'm not sure about your blind support of McLaren, things don't seem healthy there and Louis' lifetime loyalty pledge was already forgotten as he started hinting he wanted a new team during the off season.

What the hell is wrong with this commentary? They are stuffing up every second sentence, calling Button - Barrichello and Webber - Vetterl, the new guy even called the hard wets - intermediates.

Crazy ass audio glitches aswell.

Big lol @ Massas audio transmission during the red flag.

They couldn't see what the hell was going on.

It was nearly dark, thanks to Bernie's ludicrous timetable for foreign countries like us.
