why? Max is the devil in disguise. He tried to run McLaren and Ron Dennis to the ground for his own amusement. What goes around comes around. Karma is a b....!

I'm sure many Britons around here already know about her, but since she hasn't been mentioned yet... Meet Tamara...Ecclestone Daughter of Bernie and Slavica Radic. All I can say is that Mother Nature made a damn good job when selecting the genes !
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7333277.stm Massa wins in Bahrain, Raikkonen 2nd, Kubica 3rd. Hamilton's race did not begin well, and never really got better.
Nice to see BMW atop the constructors even though it might be short lived. That'll be 3 weeks for everyone to see before Spain. Heidfeld might be the one to get BMW's first win as I think he is stronger as the race goes deeper. Even if Kubica wins that would be great. Hamilton looks to be cracking like Massa normally does. Not looking good for McLaren.
Kimi Raikkonen won yesterday's race in Spain, Massa takes second, Hamilton third. There was a serious accident for Kovalainen after a wheel failure. Thankfully, he seems to be reasonably okay. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7369796.stm
Well the bad news is no more Super Aguri the good news is one less back marker. The writing was on the wall since the start of the season. My question is how much longer is Toro Rosso going to last considering the sale of the team. If you can't share chasis we might lose a few more teams. I'm all for sharing chasis with different engines. Redbull run Renault engines and Toro Rosso runs Ferrari which is fine with me. Now if McLaren had a B-team with same chasis same engine that might be an issue.
shame for super aguri. i think we knew from it's inception it wasn't going to last. i like having a lot of cars on the grid at least 24 or so. oh well...
Well, Kubica won in Canada after the usual shenanigans. Today, in France, the result was (look away now if you're watching the race on tape delay on FOX): Massa wins after an exhaust problem for Raikkonen. Trulli finishes 3rd. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7468007.stm
US GP still out for 09 as Abu Dhabi makes its debut: http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/racing/f1/news/story?id=3459996
Great to see Rubens up on the podium again. Too bad they didn't get him enough fuel on that pit stop to get him to the end, he could have possibly battled with Hamilton for the win. Good show though.
Which makes me wonder why none of the other teams switched to the all wet tires. Rubens has no business challenging for a podium position much less making one. It seems like some of the teams were mailing it in this weekend. I'm really getting the feeling that Alonso has pretty much given up on this season and isn't trying too hard. It's frustrating to watch.
my understanding was that rubens had the "extreme wets" on and that is the reason he ran so well. my question is why didn't other teams do that? everyone else had the intermediates on... FWIT- honda will win and soon. maybe not this year but i wouldn't rule out a win next season. Ross Brawn = Wins. Ross Brawn is getting credit for the tire choice yesterday. i do believe he is the man.
Don't know why Rubens thinks his poduim in tricky conditions merits a contract extension? This guy shows up for one race in 3 years and he thinks it's worth an extra year. What a knob. Both of Honda's drivers have to get replaced sorry to say. Rubens and Button are used to losing and don't know a good thing if it hit them in the face. Ross Brawn has to take a serious look at his driver lineup if he intends of moving up the grid.
ITV have made moves to block that from non UK viewers I think. And yes Ross Brawn is the man. He was with Schumacher at Benneton when he won the 94/95 titles...and then moved to Ferrari in '97, so was with Schumacher for hs other 5 titles. Schumacher calls him 'the brain' Some excellent overtaking from Hamilton yesterday, even if some are unhappy over the team orders for one of them.
I guess the teams can get away with that, but it appears anti-competitive to me. There wasn't a chance in hell of Piquet Jr. holding off Hamilton. Those Renaults suck ass.
still works for me... poor jarno.. lewie drove a great race. hekki would have gotten passed anyway. best to get it over with...
