Nope.

I feel like im slowly starting to get bored of F1 due to the lack of excitement during the races

Im watching the DTM (european touring car league) season atm as well and that provides much more entertainment. I would recommend that you guys check it out if they haven't already done so, its got Winkelhock, Ralf Schumacher, Christian Albers and 2 female drivers racing in it this season

The pit strategy of 3 for mclaren and the 2 pit strategy with ferrari was interesting, and so were the tire choices, but the race itself was not.

Too bad mclaren couldnt pull a win. Next race is Monaco and that should be A+

watching mclaren drivers was exciting, I liked the race. Also some epic lulz when Fisi went over Nakajima's car and said it wasn't his fault.

Did anyone catch GP2 when Senna run over a dog ? damn!

I don't know what race this berk was watching but the Turkish Grand Prix was mega Some superb driving and some interesting tactics.

F1 isn't all about pileups and crashes.

This was one of the best dry GPs lately. The Kovalainen vs Glock fight was great to watch, as well as Hamilton passing Massa for the lead. I knew Hamilton was on a 3-stopper fairly early in his second stint, but still it made for an entertaining race that actually felt unpredictable.

Stren: yes, I saw that, lol.

Quantized: funny that you say that because DTM is often said to be "the F1 of touring cars", in terms of boringness! The cars are very dependent on aero like in F1, and that makes passing harder. Plus the fact there's only 2 real teams makes it over-the-top in terms of team orders. But I watched one of the races a couple weeks ago and I have to admit I was entertained by it.

I never said anywhere in my post that an exciting race for me involves pileups and crashes, in fact, i dislike this due to its effect of reducing the field to a small number of cars.

I personally found the GP quite predictable, i admit there was a few occasions of slick overtaking but most of that was Kovalainen going through the field to get back into a respectable position. I also like to see pole position challenged in a race which didn't happen this time round.

Aero alterations and team orders are banned this season

Saw that on youtube... lol wtf

The last 3 races from Massa have been excellent: 28 pts outta 30.

Curious to see how he'll perform on the upcoming circuits that normally suit him less.

Poor Sutil, such a good drive only to have it ruined by Raikkonen. Feel sorry for him.

+1 but at least his race wasn't ruined because Kimi tried a bone-head pass like Alonso did earlier in the race. Kimi just got light over the bump and lost the back end. He almost kept it alive, but almost doesn't really count.

Good drive by Kubica to stay out of trouble. I was hoping for a win though.

The Dutch commentator said that Alonso's move to slicks so early was "dumb shit" ahahah

Interesting and exciting race, though the rain should have made a repeat appearance at the end for more fun times.

Epic stuff that was

Monaco in the rain is fun fun fun

Less chickies though on the boats

some excellent drives from Robert and Lewis, and a fantastic race on the whole
shame for Sutil
shame on Kimi, for making stupid mistakes and lacking any pace
also shame on Alonso for ruining Nick's race

You cant really blame kimi for that accident. There's not a whole lot he could do about it.

If anything he was probably being overcautious and lifted a fraction too early in the wet coming out of the tunnel. You never know what a F1 car is going to do in the wet.

Some crucial mistakes though at the Ferrari pitwall. Mistakes that wouldn't have happened with JT and RB in charge...

I can blame Kimi for stupid mistakes, hitting Sutil was not the first one in this race.

go webber!! equal 6th in world championship
shame about sutil though, i would be pissed hehe

I blame Kimi. Who else are you going to blame? Sutil?

Horrible what he did and the guy had a chance to score points and all.


Anyhow great driving (and luck) by hamilton and mclaren is back in the race

Very dissapointed with kov.

^^ Dude, shit happens... Kimi didn't do that on purpose. Yes, technically it was Kimi's fault because he lost the car, but it's not like he was trying some stupid pass where his car just wouldn't fit and he was trying to be greedy.

It's unfortunate for sure that Sutil didn't get his well deserved 4th place, but that's racing.

Yes you can blame Kimi for the actual accident, but as said before, he was not being stupid, just cautious. Kimi has had so many races ruined by situations that were not his fault, there is no way he would purposely do the same to somebody else. This accident was compared to the last one where he clipped Hiki's rear tires, and ruined his race. Again not Kimi's fault, as Hiki cut across, it was just a racing incident. People are acting as if every incident is avoidable.

Disappointed with Hiki? He didn't stall on the grid, it was a software malfunction. Given the insane conditions at Monaco, he did pretty well to try and fight through the field. Plus, he was switched over to drys a bit early to give Lewis a helping hand. Hiki is not as good as Lewis, yes, but he is doing ok.

I just feel so bad for Sutil and the team. They were so close to having one of the best finishes ever for them.... and here comes the Ferrari and slams into their back. Honestly i dont know what caused the accident... was there anything official? Or are you just juts speculating? I know it didnt look like he did it on purpose.

Well Max won his vote of confidence, and is still FIA President. The largest FIA members are threatening to break away and form their own regulatory body, because they feel they were unfairly only given one vote, even though they contain millions of members.

The BMWs were unusually very quick on the Friday... could mean that Kubica might win this, at last. But 1 inch further on that wall and he'll join the very long list of people who have crashed at the Wall of Champions.

Anyhow great that Hami has P1... Good for BMW to get P2.


My guess is that Ferrari is heavy on fuel?
