Great driving from Alonso today he is really doing his reputation the world of good. Raikonnen looks like a rookie...

Steady start from Lewis. Just stayed focussed ol' son.

Gran Prix De Monaco this weekend. [:)]

As to Roland Ratzenberger - kind of reminds me of how Mother Theresa died on the same weekend Princess Di did and hearing Tom Brokaw say, "Oh, and Mother Theresa died, too, this weekend. She was a friend of Princess Di's." Nice epitaph, Tom.

What are the odds on a clash between Rosberg and Hamilton tomorrow? [:D]

Not very likely - that is, if Hamilton keeps a cool head. Although he's good enough to beat Rosberg during the race, he has moments when he doesn't act rational and gets carried away. But so far, apart from some hysterical radio messages during a race, he kept his irrational moments off the track.

I've watched the moment in Q3 when Rosberg drove into the "Exit". Looks to me it was a driving error and not intentional - not every German racer cheats [;)]

Can't wait. Now coverage is on Sky - its wall to wall F1 at the weekend [:)].

Lets just hope the championship is a bit closer than last year though.

All the best Lewis, Jenson and Paul [&o][&o][&o]
This must be the longest wait ever for a Season to begin. You, Grand Prix, fans are amazing. I can't fathom the dedication when you begin to talk about a event more than two years before it begins. I am in awe. [&o][:)]

Nothing much happened, no need to worry. Rosberg now won twice (congrats) - both times on narrow "city circuits". So what? It's waaaay too early for Hamilton to get nervous or for Rosberg to think he's got it.

But.... Ricciardo has got it! [:D] Both he and Vettel scored 4 times now, but Ricciardo scores the higher points, and in qualifying leads Vettel 5:1. He definitely has Vettel under control.

And I am beginning to thimk it's Alonso who's the best Driver in the field. Again, he drives a legend with sore feets, the usual crap car that Ferrari delivers in F1. And still he's #3 in the Championships in front of the RB's.

And the Iceman is nowhere to be seen... [:(]

Poor Lewis.... It's like 1987 re-visited...[:(]

Really pleased for Daniel Ricciardo though [:)]

Massa...oh dear, he was never renowned for being a great overtaker, but that manoeuvre was such a basic error [:-]

Perez was robbed of his points. Massa should be placed under observation or banned for his "overtaking".
Glad RB#2 got the win rather than RB#1.

The fates were conspiring that's for certain. Not only does Rosberg's car keep going but who does he have behind him? Perez sans DRS!!! And of course Perez without DRS is still too fast (with the Merc engine) for the Renault powered Red Bull... [:@]

Did you guys hear Schumacher came out of his coma and has left the hospital? I'm sure his recovery will take a very long time, but this is good news.
