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!

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......
