The first time since Michael Andretti got pwnd by Senna during the whole season of 1993, you mean.

Hell, there has been 2 american F1 champions: Phil Hill in the 60s and Michael's dad in 78.

I don't care, I'm missing racing, these days I've even watched the testing laptimes live for a bit on Circuit de Catalunya's site

Michael Scum-acher must be happy since the Ferrari seems the fastest new car out there. Honda are looking very strong too, at Renault's level. The Macs.. well.. they were the slowest of about 7 or 8 teams yesterday

The new Williams is brilliant in terms of looks best livery out there. Hopefully the McLaren's will go back to the silver one, i think it was quite better than this special orange one for testing.

Congrats to Scott Speed! And Congrats to Red Bull for their program. And why is Jacque still racing -_-, I dont like that guy's attitude. IMO I think his skill isn't that great.

BMW wanted to drop him and get someone like Kovalainen but he had a huge contract already which was way too expensive to break.

I don't think he's bad, but certainly one would expect that after his first title he'd build on to more.. and here we are, 9 years later, and he hasn't won a single race after that

Haha, can't do that, he's one of my best friends...besides, the wedding is in Sweden
I could go back to the US for the race...but I have too much partying to do in Europe that week I can just go next year again.

That orange car is quite ugly...but I'm sure it's gonna kick ass.
Alonso's contract with Renault ends after this season. He has already agreed to join McLaren. The thing is...who's leaving McLaren?
There's also a rumour going around about Renault quitting F1...haven't heard anything from that lately though.

Thank god its that time again, F1 is back in action soon. Some suprises that we might see this year is Williams and BAR-Honda. Ferrari seem to be getting things right back at Maranello which is a positive start to the year. TBH i think this year will be way more exciting than last year, i say bring it on.

Forza Scuderia Ferrari
