THE one and only official F1 2010 Thread

Cheers L

Dazc: that flap was in the new last week. 3 or 4 teams put in a complaint but they also thought they would lose LOL which they have

Just watching the pre qualy buildup. So much history!!!!!

I'm had goose bumps most of the programme. Proper excited now. I don't think anyone can predict this one. Alonso has to be up there in the Ferrari, even though i hate him!!!

Why the hell cant they transmit it in HD!

Surely if ever there was a sport that needed HD its F1

Gap appears huge but track is the longest. Schumacher is way off Rosbery but hopefully he can catch up.

Massa fantastico!

Roll on race day!

yeah, who knows how long the red bulls can hold that pace, long race remember. the Ferrari's look awesome.

arrrrgh! its nearly time!  love the build up, but want them to get starting! The qualifying buildup and coverage yesterday was amazing!

will be very interesting to see what happens to the tires.

Anyone think that was a bit of an anti-climax?

Were it not for Vettel's problems, there would have been no overtaking at the top of the field after the first lap!

I can't help thinking that no refuelling might bring back the early 90's days when the fastest cars just stormed off out of sight.
Anyone remember Mansell lapping most of the field?

Yep, it's pretty ****! The rear diffusers actually showed to stop overtaking, alonso couldn't even drive close to vettel when he was catching because it was causing his engine to over heat! So we don't even get good chases! It's seems that's the case for all the cars! No refueling is crap as they are all just gonna stay out and use the super hard compounds! It'll just be back to procession driving! Last year the cars where right and the rules where fine, why did they have to fcuk up a good thing!?

Lets see how the other tracks fair, and they'll still be a few tweeks by the teams. But yes, I hope the rest of the year is not like this 1st race

Makes a change for an F1 race

Seriously, I put the races on, like watching the build up but after the first turn it just gets dull. They need to drop as many driver aids as they can and let it get back to proper racing. Can't see it ever happening though

Hi folks, Its a 3 way this year. Either Alonso, Massa or Hamilton.

How good am I?

Most of the driver aid have gone!
The problem with no re-fuelling is, all the cars are the same weight, all the time.
Before you had heavy cars with full fuel, racing against light cars with not much fuel so you could get overtaking, plus leapfrogging in the pits as well, which also won't happen now because all stops are so short.

Not exactly a shocking prediction though is it...?? lol
 
Too early to say anyway mate.

Incredibly boring, I think the fuel rules have been a huge mistake. Also, has anyone noticed that although they've reduced the size of the rear wings in order to make the car less aerodynamically dependent, the front wings are now bigger than ever? Do they not think this is also contributing to the overtaking problem?

The problem appears to be more the rear double diffusers which spit off very dirty air. They are banned from next year, though. So only a year to interesting racing!

Vettel is also rather a contender.

i think dropping the refuelling was a huge mistake.  The drivers go for much longer on off tyres, so there is little chance of overtaking.

but, i suppose its early in the season so too soon to tell.  Doesnt bode well though

That's good then. I'm a real Vettel fan, was gutted he didn't win it last year, hoping either him or schumi do it this year. Shame about the exhaust problem for him, that's racing I guess. 

Gutted for Vettel, supporting Red Bull as they're from my hometown

As unlikely as it is I'd love for Schumi to do it though!

My dad said at the beginning of the race 'he won't, but if schumi wins it, i'll probably be in tears'

schumacher is the last person i want to win.  hes a nob, and i dont like him, a poor sportsman and a bad looser.

shumi is awesome, if you ever had to give an example of competetiveness and drive to win shumi would be that... nice guy too.
