Formula 1 Is Back

[Race__24]

It was awesome to see Mark go out there and dominate like he did last night. What a performance!!

are any of these gp events on at convieniant times to do some boozing while watching in a semi large group

Probably have to wait a couple of months until the Japanese GP.... thats if it's live on OneHD of course. But I'd be interested too

Lol count me in when that happens.....i am pretty sure the Japanese one starts at like 4pm or something live

hope massa is fine and that if anyone is responsible they get some form of capital punishment!!!

fingers crossed for him!

[TALBO]

He had surgery and is a stable condition under observation in intensive care. Looks like he'll be OK, obviously won't take part in tonight's GP

FIA official would have to make sure both Brawn GP cars can't lose components before the GP tonight I'm guessing

[TALBO]

Nice to see some familar teams on the podium last night....

[Fishpaste~]

makes for a REALLY interesting 2nd half of the year!!!

and what happened to brawn?? they forgot to turn up or something? =\

and lets hope for a speedy recovery for massa

2009 has seen me return as a F1 fan after a dozen yrs not being interested.

Go Go mark Webber for 2009 drivers champ - if he keeps getting podium finishes he will do it !

thinking of Massa - when objects come at you at 200kmph they are hard to dodge, the smaller the more impossible to see.

Ive almost hit a deer or two, at hi-hi speed on the bike - a brick sized object would be impossible to see and fatal.

god damn he's lucky to be alive tbh.

Yeah, did you see the damage his helmet copped? No doubt it saved his skin. Dude had multiple fractures, couldnt open his eye and was in an induced coma...

And it was a suspension bit, reminds me of Ayrton Sennas untimely demise...

what the heck happened to all the posts made yesterday????

[TALBO]

Most test drivers are test drivers and not race drivers for a reason and even at 40 I'd put money on it that Schuey is still going to be faster than Gene and Badoer. It's not like MS hasn't driven an F1 car since his retirement in 2006, he has done a number of tests since and has the driven 09 (Ferrari F60) regulation car.

IMO he was the only logical choice to fill the seat until Massa is well enough to return. Massa who is a close friend of MS will also feel his drive is more secure.

If Kimi does go rally driving next year, it might be interesting to see whether Alonso gets the seat or the soon to be unemployed Kubica..... assuming Massa is going to be able to drive an F1 car again.

I am not to sure how i feel about this....yeah Shumy is a LEGEND in his own rights and has achieved some amazing things but i feel really sorry/bad for the 2 test drivers off Ferrari....They havnt done anything wrong but drive well during the tests to help the team end up with a better car from where they were at the start of the season.....So this is kinda for them like a slap in the face for doing good work....

Dont get me wrong i am happy that Shumy is coming back to drive the prancing horse once again but i think its time that one of the test drivers was given a go on the starting grid....maybe rotate them around or something....

[Krishy]

WOW Badoer will be taking the seat and not Schummacher.....apparently Schummy's neck injury is worse then first expected....should be good to see what Badoer can do in the Ferrari cockpit....he hasnt raced since 1999 when he was with Minardi......I would have thought that since Renault's season is over Alonso if he is coming to Ferrari next season might have been allowed to complete the rest of the season in the Ferrari car....Nelson Piquet is out and replaced by Romain Grosjean.....interesting move in sacking Piquet....thats the second driver not to have impacted in F1 after switching from Indy car series.....Sebastian Bourdais was the other driver and he was multiple series champion....maybe couldnt compete with the big boys....

Massa's seat is always going to be at Ferrari....he was a test driver when Schummy and Rubens were the main drivers and slowly he made is way in as Schummy retired....which was always going to be the switch bit like the deal with Collingwood footy club in regards to the coaching role....This weekend's Valencia GP will be a interesting one as very one is coming back from the break...

[TALBO]

I'm hoping Schuey will be available by the time they go to Monza.

There's no way Flavio would allow Alonso to go to Ferrari in 09 even if he does indeed have a contract with Ferrari next year. Renault like every other team on the grid need as many constructors points as possible to maximize their income. Krishy I think you're getting Piquet jr and Sr mixed up..... Nelson Piquet Snr went to Indy after his F1 career ended, as far as I know Nelson Jr hasn't competed in Indy.

The list of Indy drivers that went to F1 and failed is quite long and includes the famous Andretti name amongst them

[Krishy]

ah thats right NP Jr came from the GP2 series.....i think F1 and Indy are so far from each other in comparison....the cars might look similar but no way are they close.....i know that (fag son of rajab) Flavio wont let Alonso go....specially after he got him back from Mclaren...

I am crossing fingers to see schummy back again in the cockpit of the F1 this year

Haha... I don't like to even mention Indy in the same sentence as F1. It's amazing how many people (including motor sport fans) think F1 cars and Indy cars are somewhat similar!!!!
