Get ready for week 2 ladies & gents!

Anyone up watching practice? Good lord, what is going on this year? Ferrari already having engine problems again.

Brake discs exploding, engines seizing and blowing, and wrecked cars already (remember, no spare cars allowed). That is only in session 1!

What is going on?!

*sigh* Lewis makes it all look so easy. But then again, you just never know what's going on during practice.

Yeah thanks Erwin. I think it has something to do with the difference in our ages...

Back when I was YOUR age ... I could stay up until 3 AM and still work the next day too!

Now I only live and breathe Honda and the S2000. It's hard to have more than a couple obsessions at a time

This engine thing is killing me. Remember, these are frozen engines. The only thing that's changed is the damn ECU. I can't see this spec ECU thing lasting. There's going to be an uprising, especially if McMerc continues to be the only reliable car on track.

Pending any further engine problems, I'm predicting Kimi, Lewis, Felipe.

And yes, I was up late last night watching it. It's an addiction.
