[Paul in NZ]

well Kimi made no contest of it,but both Mclaren and BMW show good speed....will it be fast enough?

I fell asleep on the couch so shut up. I can't hear you ! la la la la la la la la la la

Interesting sure, close maybe, but they need to be more consistent in the long run.
Kimi has had the speed to win the championship many times, just not the luck or the reliability. If his little red car simply can keep ticking he could walk away with it. We know they're fast, just look at what Masa did.
As much as i'd love to see more parity with the cars.........i take Finn in front.

And mumbling thru interviews. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Glad to see Kimi have a better car, he deserves it. Hopefully the boys in Maranello won't let him down. Good also to see McLaren back on form.
I'll go on record now and predict the decline of Renault.
Red and silver cars heading up the grid this year I hope.
BMW looking better as well. Me thinks Nick won't keep up with the youngster.
Poor Ruebens and Jens. Poor Frank Williams too.
And just WTF was Coulthard thinking? Perhaps he ought to run that hotel full time.
Ought to be an interesting season.
Anybody in the Chicago area care to get together for viewing the races?

[Macv]

That was amazing. Stayed up till late watching it, but was not let down.

It’s MAYLASIA!!

Go Kimi!

Sure Ross, i'll be PMing contact info.
Yeah, i know it’s a holiday weekend but it is intriguing.
Because of the time difference and that it’s live, qualifying starts at 11ish on Saturday night, race coverage ends at 3am.
I know of at least two bars where this would work very well.


And there's practice-qualifying on friday night too.
