Yes oooo. We are back.

RBR Racing all the way. But I think Jerez might spring out something.

Tolexander: why will my lewis hamilton carry 9th for barcelona? Abi make we change the mercedes ni!
Fernando alonso, i dey ur back, drive on the ferrari. 1st is achievable and sustainable boy!

Lewis time was done on medium tires and at the begining of a 10 lap run (which means the car is not under fuel) why all the others did their fast time on soft tires. Perez time was on soft tires on a 2 lap run ( hence the car is light on fuel)

Despite test trial not a real indication of how good a car is, i think Mercedes might mix up the ranking a bit this year. Check their time and the tires that they were on when they did all their runs. I personally believed that Lewis will have more than 1 win this season

Just wondering, if we were to start one of these F1 races in Nigeria, where would be best to have our tracks? Lagos, Abuja or probably in the northern states where the terrain is flat?

vettel to suprise ppl again this year.bt i like lewis

Ok. as long as it's not Red Bull winning it again this season.

Hamilton for me. He surely will win it this season

S. Vettel all d way. Red bull for a 4th conservative win

Cant wait for the 2013 f1 season to start. The issue is that there has been no major change in the regulations with respect to the car,hence I dint really see Mercedes doing much because they were 2 seconds off the pace last year and this year so far hasn't shown any significant promise given the verdict from the timesheets in Barcelona. I am sure HAM will extract the ultimate from the car,it remains to be seen if that will be good enough.
vettel has an advantage though, button Alonso,Perez,Mimi all have a good chance.
2013 is going to be another fantastic and exciting racing year with Turkish GP billed to come back.

Halmiton all the way

backing Lewis Hamilton to win 1 or 2 odd races, Redbull and Ferrari's to slug it out all season, I think McLaren will take back stage this season!

I am tipping Alonso to win this year!

First day of final pre-testing

Webber leads the way, Hamilto next
That guy is competitive

Those Mercedes guys may just be underplaying their potentail they could be a huge determinant in the title this year.

baby-boy:
I don't think Mercedes would be strong enough for this season....

I dont see them as title contenders but they will be spoilers to the top 3
LH is competitive in any car he drives once he sort out reliability issues

First and Second Practice took off

Funny SV fact

Sebastian Vettel starts his campaign for a fourth consecutive title here this weekend and if you think the Red Bull driver's well of motivation might be drying up, think again. The trick, he said, was to think only of the job in hand, not what had gone before. 'If there is a secret, it is not to think about the last three years,' he said. And if you want an indication of just how committed he is to winning a fourth title, you need look no further than the name he has given this year's Red Bull. His three title-winning cars have been called ''Luscious Liz', 'Kinky Kylie' and 'Abby'. And this year? 'Hungry Heidi'.

^^^^ Bro, until they get that first race on the way, all your statistics and standings are just on paper. we will truly see how good these 2013 cars are on sunday morning after 58 laps...... didnt you hear what they said about these new tyres? anything can happen!

to all the F1 aficionados, MBJ says: HELLO, and may this yr be as exciting as the last one.

as for all the last year's Alonso/Ferrari haters, or commonly known as the Ham cheerleading groupies (are they here yet?!) i say:"I hope you didnt jump ship and stop rooting for your angel Hamilton (now that he is at Mercedes)?!"

as usual, i will root for Alonso and Raikkonen, in that exact order, lol!

true that

SV first, i love the hardworking underdog then FA - i respect his consistency
