Yea, I ended up skipping the last 30mins or so expecting most teams to sit it out like usual. Was kinda boring.

Looking forward to quali tonight! :D

Does anyone know what happened to Inside Grand Prix, the half hour special that use to air every friday night on a race weekend?

I couldn't find it in my programing guide, on either TSN or Speed.

The Red Bulls will be untouchable until Barcelona, where the euro season starts and the first real updates are tested and installed.

Poor Hamilton, at least one of the McLaren's is on row 2! Unless it rains, it's going to be 1-1 in the Button vs Hamilton competition.

Go McLaren!!!

Hamilton can't seem to catch a break at the Aussie GP... With all the "liar gate" crap last year and now this year.

DC questions Hamiltons commitment:

This should make things interesting though.. Illegal ride height system on the Red Bulls?

Wow Hamilton was pissed about the tire change decision. Damn cost him a spot on the podium

Good race, didn't watch the Bahrain race and heard it was boring but lots of passing in this one. Hamilton is such a whiner, was he insinuating that the team fucked him over on purpose? :rofl:

well it took a bit of rain to make it exciting, and Kubi rocked some good points! Hamilton definitely got hosed on the tire change decision but admittedly even I was yelling at the screen wondering wth everyone else was doing trying to make one set last almost the entire race.
Turned out thats why I'm not a race engineer.

What a race!!

I'm pissed about the tire change for hamilton, he has the pace to pass Kubica sooner or later and possibly even catch Button... I saw NO reason to bring him in. :nut:

Awesome to see Mclaren on top though. Props to Kubica/Renault!

I threw on my McLaren winner's jersey before the rest of the team! :rofl:

On BBC right now Martin Whitmarsh is talking about the team's performance. Says the team made a mistake with Lewis' tire choice. Doesn't seem upset with Hamilton's comment questioning the team. "It makes for great TV doesn't it?".

Honestly, if Hamilton didn't pit, the race would've been a lot less exciting haha. It was intense hoping that he'd pass the Ferraris, but was a little disappointing when he got punted making a move on Alonso. But hey, if there was no pit, I would've definately be happier with a McLaren 1-2 or 1-3.

Yea, tons of passing... mostly by "the little bitch". :rofl:

Interesting note from Martin Whitmarsh, Hamilton damaged the front wing on his pass on Massa, lost 10 points of front downforce. He did all that passing with a broken car. Not too shabby.

Ya this race was pretty good. Glad Vettel went off :) Towards the end when Web, Ham, Alo, Mas got grouped I knew 2 cars would take each other out hahaha

I don't know what webber was thinking... There wasn't the slightest chance he was gonna be able to make the move he was thinking about.

What a crazy race! Lots of wicked passes. That Web-Ham-Alonso battle was intense, I was cringing everytime someone made a move...too bad it ended the way it did.

Massa nearly lost the car like a billion times throughout the race but still managed to get a podium finish, props yo!
