    I agree F1 has had it's share of paid drivers such as the likes of Pastor Maldonado (he sucks), but it is more exciting as it has been for years with kers, DRS and open back wing. Would love to see Kimi win this year, reminds me of Mika's era... The return of the Ice Man!

    Since my McLarens isn't doing so well I'll be rooting for Kimi as well this season.

    ill be surprised if he does, and if he does, it will probably be due to the tyres again.

    Whether it's because of the tyres or not, the Lotus and Kimi look strong. Managing tyres is part of racing. If you can win through tyre management, it's still a win, and shouldn't be treated with contempt.

    i never said i treated it with contempt, i was only saying its possible, assuming the lotus still has superb tyre degradation.
    im just saying i think that will be the defining factor rather than him if he gets a podium.

    ive given up trying to tip races, they seem too unpredictable. i just picture webber falling back places at the start, then getting caught up in something first couple of corners lol.

    If there's a long red flag period due to rain, I'd wager a GT5 car on Kimi getting out and having a Magnum and Coke again :lol:

    also will power took pole again in st petersburg, i dont really follow indycar, but all i know is that it seems he's stuffed it for the past 3 years at the ovals, hope he can finally do it this year.

    I think this is Massa's best chance to win, Ferrari usually have the best starts of anyone on the grid and starting 2nd he should have a big chance to leap Vettel at the start, If Vettel manages to lead after T1 then Kimi should be a really strong chance to go for the win agian.

    This assuming Redbull are still struggling on tyres which should be the case as this track is even harder on tyres.

    Edit: track is very wet though so this changes everything.

    i think all F1 cars should just explode and die all the drivers are arrogant assholes.... i guess i like webber but its just pointless trying to make the fastest cars on earth go faster by spending mindless millions of dollars to find 3 hundredths of a second.... and the racings not real close time for F1 to introduce COTF in which a common floor and engines are given to all teams then teams can spend millions of dollars on the front and rear wings then we might see an improvemnt lol....

    DAFAQ did i just read. COTF has just completely stopped any form of development... That's atleast 20% the reason why I watch F1.

    I wanna see you explode and die.

    Do you even watch F1?
    The racing has been much better then it has in the late to mid 2000s.

    Also F1 has always been big bucks motor sport this isn't budget touring car racing, your seeing teams of the best designers engineers and drivers in these teams, which unlike other motor sports has a real constructors championship.
