So all the cars are back near their bases and using new aero packages. I think this race will determine the true pecking order for the rest of the season.

Ferrari have a new, funky looking, nose...it'll be interesting to see if it makes much difference.

Toyota and Red Bull are looking good too.....but will BMW Sauber get their first win? (probably not)

I'll be staying up late for the qualifying and race, then getting up early for the AutoX...what a weekend

 

TiVo

 

I predict a 1-2 finish for force india!

 

I'll be watching live Fri/Sat/Mon at 5am... like a REAL FAN!

 

Kimi and Ferrari this weekend.

 

For sure!

 

Sorry for posting so late, but yeah, Kimi fastest in FP 2


Kinda sad, but FP2 was like "Lewis who?!?". It was everyone BUT McLaren this morning. They better find some pace, and get the gremlins out of Kovi's car quick, or else it's not looking good for McLaren at the start of this season.

Kimi steals pole from Alonso! Wooooo Hoooo!

 

That was sweet ! Just when Alonso thought he had it, in comes Kimi,the man !!

 

Wow, that was an easy 1-2 finish !

 

Kimi is pulling away... The sooner he clinches it, the better IMHO

 

LOL. Don't start celebrating yet, theres another 14 races to go

 

I'm not, just saying he's starting to pull away.

and the sooner the better!

What happened to Lewis? Maybe he'll come back in the middle of the season.
