F1 is always boring, now its extremely boring without trying to figure the different strategies and how they will play out. Eccolstone is a ....... moron. There is an old rich guy that shows up to ride with us occasionally and he looks exactly like Eccolstone we call him Bernie, even though his name is Bob. Every time i look at him i want to bash his skull in just because he reminds me of that ...........

11th Hamilton
 
Vettel will win tomorrow. Championship to him or Alonso with Massa, Hamilton and Button fighting for 3rd. Constructors to Red Bull, then Ferrari, Mclaren and Mercedes... The rest is up for graps but Force India and Williams are the best midpack teams. Lotus will propably be the only new team to have a chance at points.
 
its on early i should be up it might be a snorefest & its not the best overtaking track either

watching it right now. lap 16. im loving it! not a snorefest at all! so much over taking and crazy accidents. I'm slowly starting to become a Button fan. Smart guy.
 
I figured out a way how to make f1 NOT boring.

sack virgin, hrt, lotus and bmw sauber. that keeps 8 cars without drivers. 8 teams are left. give each team an extra car with a driver who can actually DRIVE. done. I see F1 becoming awesome.

Me too... Hose down every track before and during the race. This simple (and cheap) rule change will bring equity, reduce costs and bring back the excitement!

i hope He cries every race this season so we don't have to cry after watching a f1 race. but today was pretty good imo. very exciting race.
 
i dunno if anyone noticed this. but why was the crowd booing John Brumby, Premier of Victoria when he present the trophy to J Button?

That's typical Aussie style..they despise politicians..
 
I thought it was a great race. Too bad for Vettel, he's had awful luck this season. Button has to be one of the most intelligent drivers out there, what a call to go to slicks so early. He earned that win because of that gutsy decision. Did anyone else find Hamilton slamming his team on the radio while trying to find a way around the Ferraris slightly comical? He managed to use up two sets of softs in the span that Button was able to comfortably go on one. Obviously Hamilton was more aggressive, but still.

haha. yeah man. tell me about it. i watched the bbc feed. commentators were laughing about it and saying "its not the best idea to be argueing with ur team when ur trying to overtake those ferraris"
hahahaha. i found it hilarious. and then the best part was when alonsos team said to him "3.5 HAMILTON!" and alonso replied back "I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!" HAHAHA. loved the race. hope Malaysia would be as good. and about Buttons move. I think for someone like me who hasn't been into F1 for long. Such moves are ones that increase the fan base of such an amazing driver. i'm very close to becoming a JB fan because of that move. he rocks!

Hambone's an obnoxious ......, ain't he?!  I think I 'like' Dani more than Lewis.

Between his driving style and the pace he was running, I don't think his first set of softs had a chance in hell of making it to the end of the race  
 
vettel is becoming kimi...hahaha...kidding...and i hope im wrong!

anyway, re: hosing down the track... around 4years ago, i was constantly emailing a star sports columnist (theo liasi if anyone of you guys know him), and this is exactly what he has been suggesting all along...

add sprinklers on the track so that we can have a wet race every time, which was the only way, we figured, that we can have a fantastic race to watch...

well done vettel. deserved win. race over all though was the usual. boring. as someone once said. f1 is not about over taking. its about appreciating the technology and precision. so much for the fans to give a damn or not fall asleep if there is no over taking. racing is about overtaking!
 
I 'watched' about half the Sepang race via live timing.  I had high hopes that Button's early stop might pay off again.  For a while he was looking good; picking up several positions as those ahead pitted.  But by mid race the tires started to fade and he (like everyone else) was going nowhere.    

I'm debating whether or not to DL the race. From reports, it sounds like a waste of bandwidth.
