I know I'm not the only PHer who watches with a laptop, so here is the customary thread. :)

Firstly, don't forget the real-time lap timing at www.formula1.com

Anyone just see with interview with Bernie? I don't think I've ever seen him so contrite and concilliatory. Is this a new side to Bernie?

Nah, I think that he's playing the press a little, I don't think that there's a sincere bone in his body.

I could be wrong however.........

That James Allen has a worse haircut than I do!

Must admit though, it is good to see the F1 cars getting their backsides out a bit more this year, at least some of this years rule changes seem to be on the right tracks.

Those drivers must have supreme car control to be able to slide one of those things!

Not bad, James Allen as usual did my head in! Did you hear him say to Martin Brundle "I coulndn't of said that better myself" (I think it was reffering to Ferrari's performance just lately), after he said that I thought to myself , MB must be sat there thinking you couldn't say anything better than me!

Still, you never know, one day he might go

I think that a problem with F1 is that we (sometimes) view Jordan, Minardi etc etc as pretty poor teams/drivers. Clealry to drive even a bad F1 car you have to be pretty special and very talented.
