I'm glad I fell asleep at 1. :icon17:

So Steve-O -- have you watched the race yet? Don't want to make any "spolier" comments if you haven't yet...

I have to agree. He is silly fast and I think he adapts very well to changes in the car. He's un-phased by the Pirellis and KERS??? Who needs it?

Is there a "No Spoilers" rule for this thread, because i really want to talk about the results!
I'd think anyone who doesn't want to stumble upon a spoiler needs to not look at a computer or their phone until they've watched the race. One time I was on my way home from somewhere, and the TV in the airport bar had ESPN on. I accidentally saw the race results on the ticker at the bottom of the screen before I could get home to my DVR.
Spoilers are everywhere, dammit!

Spoiler alert
 

Probably best to simply place a "spoiler alert" in the Title of the post so at least anyone could hopefully see that first (if they haven't seen the race) and not read the post.

THAT SAID -- as a F1 fan I thought the race today was pretty good -- I remember a few years ago, the first race of the year was always a crap shoot due to early year reliability issues......apparently not this year.

Unless Seb has some reliability issues or "HIRD" (head in rectal defilade) issues, he will be the driver to beat this year -- heard post race that the RBR cars weren't even using the kerns device -- holy crap!

Was glad to see Lewis Hamilton was at least the best of the rest.

Interesting to see why the other RBR car being so far off from the other car -- gotta believe Webber will be talking to the car engineers......

Yeah I would recommend not looking at this thread if you haven't watched the race yet. :) That's what I do.

That race was a pretty damn impressive performance for RBR and McLaren and a pretty disappointing for some of the others. Just imagine how fast RBR will when they get KERS working! I think Webber just got beaten by strategy...

Well, I think everyone will start to catch up a bit as always. The first few races of the season always seem to favor one team or another by a wide margin, then the others catch up and make a race out of it.

A little more experience the Mexican and the Russian will leave everyone behind!

Yeah. Petrov really improved over the course of the season last year and is really looking great this year. 12 long days ahead!

thats what im sayin' Cant wait.
I got the torrent thing kinda working. So i could watch it later. Still learning the sites that were posted for watching live. I just dont feel like staying up all night to watch the race. More relaxing on sunday afternoon

Either way it was a great race. The Massa/Button battle early was pretty good till Jenson ran off the track and was penalized. Massa was way slower though

It seems that just having that DRS or whatever is not making passing very easy on the straights.
Im sorry but i havent had the chance to read all the post race stuff. Was there ever reasons given by Webber or Vettel as to why they were not using KERS. Its not like Vettel needed it but just wondering if they ever said anything in post-race interviews.....

Petrov was impressive

Really disappointing that the Saubers were DQ'd. Made Di Resta look really good though.

Millions spent on R&D, engineering and building and purchasing the best racing equipment on the planet and we end up with zip lock bags for radio covers?

By the way guys, you can use the forums "spoiler" tags, just use this format, and remove the quotes... ["spoiler"]text["/spoiler"]

At the end of the day you use whatever gets the job done. :p
