Too good for Hamilton, Eh?

Not the greatest at qualifying, struggles to over take. Not good enough for a team like McLaren imo..

Was just kidding anyway Walcott, Babes

McLaren have got it all wrong this year. Shite car, shite thinking, it's utter bollox. Even Lewis Hamilton is struggling to post decent times, and instead of working out what the problem is, they arn't running the car 2moro when every other team is.
Sounds like I am going to be a neutral this year, as long as fAiLONSO doesn't win it, it's all good.

Vettel 21.865 seconds,
Sebastien Buemi 1:22.396.
Vitaly Petrov (1:22.670)
Lewis Hamilton (1:22.888)
Felipe Massa (1:23.324)
Paul Di Resta (1:24.334)
Kobayashi (1:24.436)
Rosberg (1:25.807)
Jerno Trulli (1:26.090),
Pastor Maldonado (1:26.989)
Jerome D'Ambrosio(1:28.982)

Looks like Mclaren have got a bit of work to do.

On Kubica:
"Renault doctor Dr Riccardo Ceccarelli has just given the latest update
on Robert Kubica's condition as the Polish driver recovers from a
rallying accident four weeks ago. Kubica is continuing to rehabilitate
at the Santa Corona hospital in Italy after having surgery on his right
arm, hand and leg. Kubica says he wants to race again this season but
Ceccarelli says on a potential return: 'It is impossible to say. There
are two positives; the job done by the doctors and [the fact that]
Robert is strong.' The doctor also confirmed that the main issue remains
the injury sustained to Kubica's right arm, where the hand was nearly
severed. Ceccarelli added: 'We are very, very happy with the surgery.
Robert is moving his fingers and moving the wrist. That is the positive,
but we cannot predict.' Kubica will stay at the hospital for the
foreseeable future as he continues his rehabilitation."

@McLaren.

Not running today, what a joke.. 1 second behind the pace and they arn't trying to fix it. Lets hope the McLaren people in Woking can sort the car out.
Last 3 winners at Australia:
Lewis Hamilton
Jenson Button

Williams?

even petrov lapped quicker than hamilton, epic fail for mclaren, they are big disapoint????

and hey liam do not doing plastic stick by mclaren "through thick and thin"!!!!!!

forza buemi!!!!!

Im not being a plastic, I am still going to support Hamilton but I meant in the title race - I am going to be a neutral - McLaren might have sorted their car out by the season opener/second race, who knows.

I cant see Lewis Hamilton staying at McLaren for too much longer, maybe if Webber goes from Red Bull, Hamilton could go there.

Hamilton said the car does feel better than last years car, but the times arn't coming out.

Fair enough

Swap Hamilton for Webber?

Red Bull might do that, I wont be though. Second favourite driver on the grid this year is Paul Di Resta. Fuck Jenson Button.

4 seconds behind, he blamed it on a engine change..

Schumi is first

They upgraded their car today.

So Hamilton and co. are crap again?

Again!! Lewis Hamilton is never crap!!
No Mercedes are crap (again)

I'm still sad Kimi left

Im sure Ferrari would take him back if he wanted back in F1. Massa hasn't been the same since his injury, and Ferrari hardly helped his confidence in Germany.. 'Fernando is faster than you..'

Ferrari has become little bastards now

After Schumi retired everything went down hill Can't see it getting back to were it was

No dirtiness or excuses this year from Shumacher hopefully this year, their team say they have closed the gap to the likes of Red Bull & Ferrari by quite a bit. So all of these could be in a title race this year.
Vettel
Webber
Alonso
Massa?
Shumacher?
Rosberg?
Hamilton?
Button??

Hopefully this year is like last year. Went right down to the final race, everyone put their money on Alonso and Vettel won it.

I miss "The Ice Man"

Even though Ferrari is the team i like the most, i want Alonso to fail

Hate his attitude and he stole 2 extra championships from Schumi
