Stop talking about betting. Most of us are still in mourning for our lost euros:D Sure I added to my Cheltenham woe by losing €20 on the toss of a coin tonight.Quote:

C'mon Raikkonen. I plan on being very drunk by 4.15 on Sunday morning so it'll be pretty interesting to watch the race then.
Ah ****e,its not this time of year again
Heres an F1 fact for ye: Tomorrows grand prix will be the first grand prix in 17 years without a Schumacher in it.
Robert Kubica seems to have continued on the form he showed before his major crash in Canada last year. I think he'll win 2 or 3 grand prix's this year and he is a future world champion IMO.
I've changed my mind about the world champion too. I think that this year is Hamiltons year.
Hamilton to win the race but Raikkonen for the championship.
Hope you're right Schumi.
Last night must have used up all of Raikkonen's bad luck for the season. :eek: Could anything else have gone wrong?
I missed the race. Were conditions that bad? I was shocked to see 6 cars finish.
7 finished I think (it was quite early!). The conditions were fine, it was just a bit of a freak race. Three big crashes had the safety car out and pit stop timing made a huge difference. Ferrari didn't bring Raikkonen in during the last safety car period and then brought him in two laps later for some reason which put him last (10th at the time I think). He then slid off trying to pass someone and then the car broke. :rolleyes:
BBC have it as 7R and 8R.
I didn't know that Barrichello had been disqualified. Raikkonen picks up a point somehow. :)Quote:

Good win for Kimi today. Apparently his car was wobbling on the last ten laps but it was all over.
There was some pretty dodgy driving today. Massa, Hamilton and others were guilty of messing their corners, Massa spectacularly.
Hamilton's 20 second pit-stop ended his race and I think even until Massa spun out, Raikkonen would have won it.
I see F1 boss, Max Mosely, has been caught with his pants down (literally):

Haven't look at the video but I believe from a good source that it's a goodie.
Just watching the Spanish GP now. Kovalainen had a pretty heavy crash. His car went straight into the barrier and his car was wedged deep in.
Nasty looking crash from Kovalainen but he's only suffering from concussion apparently and is likely to race next week. I thought he might have broken a leg, the crash looked very similar to Schumacher's in Silverstone in 1999.
I thought the next race was in 2 weeks time. But yeah, good news that Kovalainen is OK.
Race itself was pretty dull, looks like the season will be dominated by Ferrari.
Sorry, 2 weeks. Force of habit from football!
Ferrari do look very strong but they're not finishing races very far ahead of McLarens or BMWs so it might not take much of an improvement for either of them to challenge.
