jenson had some problem .. yellows were waving all over the track :? .. no idea what he did this time :lol:

[blinkmeat]

Man Hamilton is the real deal - I love his driving - not so keen on his father though

[acmarttin]

Glad to see Kimi strong in the first box. I can't believe Hamilton!! He's really giving it his all.

[nthfinity]

Alonso ......Fernando !!

[TopGearNL]

Glad to see Kimi strong in the first box. I can't believe Hamilton!! He's really giving it his all.

Yep!

Nice to see Kimi performing but go Hamilton!

Kubica isn't doing bad too! 8)

[novass]

I am still amazed at Hamilton's skill. This kid is doing really well and at this rate he should be a huge contender very soon IMO

As always though...GO KIMI! :D

[deuces]

aaaaaalright kubica!!!

[Mattk]

Ferrari looks strong on this circuit. I tip Raikonnen to win.

sooo hamilton is gonna take massa on the first corner ... .then massa is gonna mess up againa big times .. then raikkonen is gonna taken him and lead and win .. i hope 0X :mrgreen:

[sameerrao]

Awesome job by Hamilton. He seems to go from strength to strength. I won't be surprised if he sneaks his way into the lead at the first corner. He is looking good for a win.

However, I think Kimi and Alonso are fueled more than their team mates. Should be an exciting race tomorrow. 8)

[blue8]

Hopefully the race tomorrow will be more exciting than last week at Sepang...

Its very hot here in Bahrain, I even got sun-burns cause of sitting in the track's stand for a long time

But who knows?? its pretty cloudy too, so it might rain!! that would be interesting :P

[SFDMALEX]

Well only way for Massa to do anything is to get pole so he doesnt have to rac eanyone.

[Mattk]

I agree that Hamilton will be a serious contender. But, can he hold that pace for an entire race? The experience of Massa and Raikonnen may win out here.

[DeMoN]

Last race, all the burning rubber hamilton did cant be referred to as perfect driving. I'd like to think he can go through the whole race and do fine, but I dont quite trust him yet. I am happy he has been giving nice points to my team so far, but if he finds a way past Massa and wins (3rd 2nd 1st position would b awesome), he will gain my respect and trust. Cant sleep waiting for this race and I have to work tomorow... 5 30 am and i have not slept one bit. I wonder if these drivers pull allnighters before races from time to time. Im not driving and I cant sleep I cant imagine how bad they have it.

[saadie]

Hamilton is good .. really good ... if you compare this rookie to the rookie that went to williams back in 96 ... you'll see alot of differences ;)

[DeMoN]

Oh yeah, after last race's performance, he cant be said to be a bad driver at all. However, you cant say that all that tire smoke was polished driving can you? Im sure this guy has a great future as out performing Alonso and keeping two ferraris behind is MAJOR.

[bultaco_metralla]

The last year A.lonso was in 4th place also, battled with Shcumi and finally won!!! Lets see whats happens today!!! Go A.lonso GO!!! Go Hamilton Go!!!

[saadie]

Oh yeah, after last race's performance, he cant be said to be a bad driver at all. However, you cant say that all that tire smoke was polished driving can you? Im sure this guy has a great future as out performing F1's Lance Bass and keeping two ferraris behind is MAJOR.

back then there was no traction control F1 was just not as easy to drive as it is nowadays ... so keeping it straight was a challenge ... that guy had great car control .... and yeh thats about all he was :? ...

anyway ... i like this guy, hamilton ....

ookay 15 mins to go :)

[DeMoN]

its starting...!

[bultaco_metralla]

Warm up!! Live Timing ON

[bultaco_metralla]

great race by heidfeld owning F1's Lance Bass :lol: :mrgreen:

I dont think so, two laps more and Alonso would have overtaked him, the car was good enoght with HArd Tyres, you just had to see live timing to see it ... dont lame :D :twisted:

Nooooo now one month till next race FUCK REFUCK

[blue8]

Awesome race today!! Alonso-Hamilton-Raikkonen tied for the Drivers Championship. Kudos to the Ferrari team for the strategic pit stop to put Kimi ahead of Alonso! Heidfeld was great as well.

A-l-o-n-s-o is still first in points and in the championship.!!!
:D 8) :wink:

[yg60m]

Interesting race, some suspense up to the end. I am again disappointed by Raikkonen (even if it wasn't a disaster but I expected much more from him) and surprised by Hamilton : if this guy doesn't become world champion one day I can't understand :shock:

[xecutioner]

how good is it to see alonso not on the podium lol

alonso will be sooking when lewis starts beating him every race

i like to see alonso pass someone on the track with a quick car like heifeld did to him lol

well done to massa and lewis

i can see lewis winning hes 1st race very soon and should of got it today if mclaren used there heads

how does renault fill being past by a redbull with renault engines

bah 4 weeks till the next round

how crap

[sameerrao]

Good job by Massa to take the win.

Excellent job by Hamilton to keep the podium sweep going. He was faster than Alonso all weekend. This was the first track that Lewis had prior experience on - Malaysia and Oz were new to him. So think we can see more good performances from him from now on.

Kimi was caught napping on the re-start - he lost something like 20 car lengths to Alonso. He also muffed up turn 1 at the start - letting A_lonso by. He seemed really tentative in the first part of the race. Not a good sign. The Ferrari seems very nervous tucked under the wing of another car. Far more than say a McLaren or BMW.

Good racing by Nick Heidfeld and DC. Like the Speed team mentioned - it was like the DC of old - good wheel to wheel stuff. Good overtaking by Trulli as well.

[SFDMALEX]

Kimi pissed me right off...Could have been a Ferrari 1-2...

Good job by Hamilton.

[5vz-fe]

Hamilton is the best rookie I have ever seen, he has speed, consistency and little mistake under pressure. I definitely glad that someone like him is in Mclaren. Make the season more interesting. (I am still all in for Ferrari and Kimi btw)

[EvolutioniuM]

the weather was strange, in the morning in was cloudy and foggy later on at the race start the sky was blue clear as it got a bit cold and windy!!

things were weird about alons0 too, he wasnt the alonso I know, he's so less dodgy that he didnt fight back when heidfeld overtook him, the thing that makes me think more is why kimi didn't attack alons0 when he was chasing him before the first pitstop, he just kept the close distance and drove behind him

things werent impressing with Hamilton too, he started 2nd and ended 2nd!! he started reducing the distance between him and massa but that was in like the last 7 laps, the same thing goes with alons0 and heidfeld

as a Mclaren fan this race succeed raising my blood pressure!! :x

[Svensson]

Aaahahah Heidfeld passes Alstronzo :lol:

Who cares about that the man from spain is still first.
Thats what counts.
It's still a long season anything can happen.
And c albers is 14th !!
Go spyker.
:D 8)

Yeah so? Heidfeld still drove the shit out of that spanish foo.
And fcuk Albers too. He's the second most annoying driver after Alstronzo.

I think not.
Go a-l-o-n-s-o and albers.

[5vz-fe]

Seeing Massa's speed today, (and also yesterday's qualifying), one only ponders how fast is Schumi given that he beats consistently.

[TopGearNL]

Watched it together with my dad in hospital and glad it was a good race IMO!

Hamilton (our favorite) on podium again! Leading the championship together with alonso and Kimi.

The Spykers finished, finally! :lol:

[5vz-fe]

Alonso

[Mattk]

Lewis Hamilton has really been a surprise package. Can he keep up the pace? To be honest, I feel he has more natural talent than Fernando Alonso.

[TopGearNL]

F1 is boring now if you compare it to previous era's..

[TopGearNL]

^^ Yeah sort of like the A1, thats not the same but I like the fact they have a short race with a rolling start and a main race with a standing one! :D
