CarMad Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 So its Mclaran that won the first race not quite a clean sheet or incident free but they are certainly looking good and the Hamilton show was in top form (even though you hardly saw him in the race). Ferrari looked strong when the car was running and problem free and Kimi wasn't having doing some grass collecting or sweeping the gravel trap, but you can bet your bottom dollar that they will come back very strong and lets be honest we want to see them challenging to make things interesting. BMW and Williams will be wanting a repeat performance of last weeks race and many others will at least want to finish. Traction control and all the changes are having the desired effect and I for one am looking forward to watching the race.

Mook Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I bloody well hope so. They completely fecked up my score in Fantasy F1 - to the point that I got, erm 9 points... Never mind the fact that two of us in our Mates League got 9 points. You can imagine the grief we both got http://f1fantasy.itv.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Hamilton looks like his set up is not right. He did this last year a few times and then just cant get near the Ferraris. Massa/Kimi look fast and smooth, they may be a bit lighter??? Hopefully we might see some rain to spice up the show. The Heidfeld siuation was very dangerous, cars coming back to the pits doing no speed, saving fuel and NH doing the best part of 150-160mph. At one point he had to swere between the cars . They'll have to do something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Normal Ferrari service is resumed. [/ QUOTE ] Are they going to finish then or end up cooking themselves again. Looks good for the race for an interesting battle. Hamilton certainly not looking strong today but maybe they are playing it safe with a heavier car and the potential for rain.

Mook Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 They ruled Kovalainen blocked Renault driver Fernando Alonso and Hamilton had obstructed BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld. Oh deep joy. Here we go with the political bollox already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garcon magnifique Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Seriously, I suspect the FIA may need to look at the format of Q3. With the speed differential of cars on different phases, it only needs poor conditions and/or one unsighted driver for one almighty accident.
