  1. funny how all cars with difusers r at the top.

    From jsarkela2110, on Sat 28 Mar 12:47AM
  2. Is it just me or is it that f1 was getting so boring­ they were losing advertising and sponsership, so we now­ have ferrari and mcclaren sandbagging to generate free­ ads through headlines and hoping to ignite some­ interest in mr ecclestones scalextric set.
    Everyone­ knows the team with the most money will win, the­ drivers are all brilliant no question its just that­ politics and money will control the important decisions­ so that ferrari will win this year, as they have had­ all the headlines they can out of Lewis{youngest champ,­ 1st black champ}. I bet Mosley senior was turning in­ his grave.
    Still i would like to see him do it again­ and maybe even the Button/Brawn combo.
    Trouble is if­ they do well FIA will change the rules because the red­ team will threaten to pull out.
    Still Ill watch the­ first five laps, have a doze and see if anything has­ changed for the last five.
