Lol. More expensive than my last 6 cars combined (yes 5 of them were beaters, but still).

 

My last car cost more than the steering wheel.

What amazed me more: Seb is the chair of the driver's association!?

What amused me more: Nick Heidfield: "The fockup potential is extremely high."

 

That Vettel thing surprised me. Looked it up (wikipedia FWIW), Rubens is the chairman and Vettel and Massa are co-directors.

Rubens needs to retire (been saying it for like 3 years now).

 

Sweet, they can listen to the radio!!

 

Interesting start of the year. The Pirelli tires seem to throw some teams for a loop.

I wonder if RB is going to continue not using KERS in the next race.


Sutil spin in qualifying...epic.

 

Sutil's spin in qualifying was awesome. Reduce downforce while turning? Really? Highest level of motorsport dude.

As a Button fan, I hate Massa...although I've hated Massa for a while now. The car has the pace to come back, but Vettel and Hamilton will have to f@#k up for Button to catch up in points. It's a long season. Not sure where Webber's pace went.

Petrov really impressed. As did di Resta. I don't see that eye of the tiger quality that the World Champs have...yet.

Should be a good season. Would be better if they just got rid of KERS.

 

How to watch BBC iPlayer in the US

Rumor has it, BBC will make iPlayer a paid service soon. I'll gladly pay it, but until then this is a great solution to get quality delayed coverage.

 

So, if one can truely make the arguement that Massa has "lost the edge", will we start the silly season early and start to consider who the front runners for the Ferrari seat will be? My question will be...how long is Kubica out for and how long is his Renault contract for?

 

That #2 seat at Ferrari seems to be a tricky seat to fill. Takes a driver who either thinks they can beat the #1 driver or who will settle for second place on a top team. If Ferrari were back at the top, it would be easier for them to find a top driver, but why would someone like Nico Rosberg for example want to leave his #1 spot for a #2 spot on a team that's slightly faster. I think any of the young guns would jump at the chance to move up from the midpack/backpack teams but who's really good enough? Petrov, if he continues to impress (apparently Renault is a feeder team for Ferrari). Maybe if di Resta, Perez, or Kobayashi have an amazing drive but they're longshots. Kubica will probably take it depending on recovery and contract. Seems like Ferrari want to hire someone who could be number 1 if Alonso fails or leaves...and all those drivers have good jobs right now.
