Na only Jacques Villeneuve?
What about the case of illegal fuelling and Senna etc etc etc. The dudes log book is too full sha!

. . .Rosberg beware, you tink say you be ninja now!

Alonso wins a race that has been an anti-climax.
. . .The race track was just wrong.

Saturday qualifying - 27 March 2010
How Vettel managed that drive was a wonder to behold. That boy is damn good!!!
Rosberg beat his team mate schumi. . . Again! Lewis road car was impounded yesterday for performing boy racer stunts on a busy road in Oz . . . He drove badly this morning, 11th .

As for the race proper, lets see if Virgin's computer designed car will run out of fuel (computer made tank too small ). That would be soooooo funny!

It seems Lewis was affected by the Driving Saga
Or what else could explain his poor qualifying run?

The Race is between Vettel and Alonso. If the Red bull engine holds up, Vettel would probably win it

^
My level of bad bele for Alonso is so high that it almost damages my health. He's the very last person I want to see waltzing away in the WC points, I'm keeping fingers crossed that both Red Bull engines stay sweet and ahead of Alonso. Another person to watch will be Button.

I've just seen the video's of Lewis hiding sheepishly in his car after doing burnouts and fishtails. . . At a junction, right in front of a police van! Duh!
The boy needs his dad back as manager, he really seems to be low from the incident.

What d'you think about Virgin's computer generated fuel tank?

[size=14pt]Wet race?[/size]
Rain predicted!!! That would just spice up the race unbelievably!
Race in an hours time. . .

There are intermittent drops of rain!

Poor Richard Branson has just been interviewed.
It has been confirmed that Virgin cannot finish the race due to tiny fuel tanks. Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Brilliant start for Hamilton (up to 8th).
Alonso crashed at first corner and is running 22, Kobayashi had a serious crash with hulkenburg - both are out, schimi is running last from changing a front wing! What a start to the race!

Unlucky Vettel has just driven off the road. Lewis is 3rd, Button is leading. Wow!

Jenson button wins! Webber crashes with Lewis, Lewis makes 6th. What a race that was!

#2 Robert Kubica
#3 Filipe Massa
#4 Fernando Alonso
#5 Nico Rosberg

#7 Liuzzi
#8 Reubens Barrichello

Both Virgin cars didn't finish due to mechanical problems. I'd been looking out for ending somewhere before the end. Oh well! Off to Malaysia at the weekend.

Are you speaking Greek here. . .

Oh sorry, I'm not in football thread. .

****walks out****

na wa. . .

good comeback by the mclarens after a mediocre start.

they seemed more in tune with the elements.

Shame for Vettel though. He shows signs of being a
great one. Hopefully his car gets more reliable.

Vettel is so unlucky, but that comes with his hyper aggressive style of driving. It was Webber's turn last year, but Vettel is by far the better driver in the team and a future world champ.
All in all, it was a great race, the complete opposite of the Bahrain procession; the only letdown was we didn't see enough of Alonso carving his way from 22nd up to the front, although Hamilton gave a very good spectacle!

One question that bugs me though, is why McLaren called Hamilton into the pits when he had climbed up to 3rd and was very likely to either win or come second.

Hopefully Lewis gets the pole and the chequered flag on Sunday. I also hope Alonso and Button knock each other out.

Thats a "heevil" wish!
I don't like Alonso either and Button's lips seem to flap a lot these days too.

There are prediction of a deluge, the type we had in 2009. With the track so wide and high speed, it could be a tremendously exciting race.

So
Mark Webber finishes third and final practice as the fastest man of the session - and weekend - with a 1:33.542, ahead of
Lewis Hamilton and
Sebastian Vettel.
Fernando Alonso,
Michael Schumacher,
Nico Rosberg,
Jenson Button,
Felipe Massa,
Rubens Barrichello and
Robert Kubica complete the top 10

[size=14pt]. . .McLaren are suggesting showers imminent![/size]

Last years race was a virtual swimming pool. Here's a pic before the start (behind the safety car).
Mark Webber took Lewis out here last year. The next pic (believe it or not), is an f1 car going by in last years race.

The rain has dished out several jokers. . . All the world champs (bar shumi) are back markers, Lewis, Alonso, Button; all Ferraris and McLarens are back markers.
Its going to be an exciting race seeing these guys come through from behind. . . And breezing past Schumacher!
Quali 3 has just restarted after being red flaged due to dangerous weather conditions.

This is going to be a magnificent drive; there will lots of incidents. If Vettel does not crash, I see him winning this.

Vettel usually breaks down, its Webber that has a habit of crashing (especially into Lewis ). Vettel's problem is with the car, Adrian Newey has a habit of designing very fast, innovative, but fragile cars (from his McLaren days till now).

I really look forward to seeing the McLarens and Ferrari's banzai through the traffic, if they make it past the first corner that is. The fastest guys are almost all behind. Wouldn't it be magnificient if Lewis could win from 20th?

we all know who the KING of the wet is. . . . . . . . . watch out for Schumi!!!!!!!!

if Alonso could do it last week (from18th after the first bend to 4th) then this one is no biggie if he doesnt spin around like a bloody ballerina like today.
I wont be surprised to see all Ferraris and Mc Laren in the top ten by mid race. . . . . . . . providing the weather is a little better than today (forecast of rain "sometime" tomorrow!

btw: there is two F1 threads and i think all NL F1 aficionados should converge into one (this thread was created first so i guess thats the one we should all converge to)

MRbrownJAY:

That was when he had a fast and reliable.
Don't get me wrong I won't put winning this race past him car .

@POST
Disastrous qualifying session from the Ferraris and the Mclarens.
Having said that, I would not bet against one or even two em' getting on the podium.
I think three might be a step to far considering how far off they are from pole.

@chic2pimp
Another way of interpreting the positions of the McLarens and Ferraris is. . . high probabilty of carnage at turn one!

@MRbrownJAY
I think Schumi's era is over, anyway the mad Kobayashi is starting on the same row as him so. . .

The weather in Sepang is forecast to be dull and cloudy with the possibility of thunderstorms toward the end.
I would have loved a 100% drenched race.
Hopefully (for the big boys), there'll be enough carnage at turn one with all those rookies up front.

Time zone, GMT +8

Just a few minutes left now, I'm gluing myself to the TV! With all the bad boys at the back, expect some really wicked overtaking!!

Jesus! My daugther must marry Hamilton!!!!! Damnnnnnn!
From 20th to 10th in 4 laps. Lord!
