Its the Aussie GP this weekend and qualifying starts saturday morning at 2am here in the UK.
Whats better this year UK TV station ITV will be broadcasting the practice sessions LIVE: http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=41943
Looks like McLaren Vs. Ferrari again but who will be the best of the rest? Looks close so far. _________________ www.davehart.me |

Yeah, I watched the first practice session last night. Luckily all sessions are broadcasted live on scandinavian tv this year too.
The ITV-broadcast only works for UK-citizens btw. Tried entering the page with the livefeed but it says it only works in the UK.
But I believe the German channel Premiere has online feeds for all viewers (allthough you must pay a small fee to see it).
I bet Raikkonen will win the first race ahead of Hamilton and Kovalainen. |

Anyway, I hope this season will be almost as close and dramatic as last year! |

It should be. The first race was madness.
I stayed up to watch it live but fell asleep on the formation lap lol
Caught the reply though, very good race in all and looking forward to Bahrain this weekend! _________________ www.davehart.me |

Haha, I set the alarm so I got up a few minutes before it started. Was a very eventful race!
This weeks race will hopefully see some more cars finishing. Good thing is that it starts a couple of hours later this sunday |

To be honest, I couldn't care less I can't see the point in watching Formula cars going round and round for 70 laps. For me Formula 1 is a bad Sunday hangover _________________ Do you believe in a god that tells you lies? - Or do you believe in me? |

I think it's amazing to watch the cars - allthough it was a bit boring when Schumacher was totally dominating a few years back.
Now every race is more open - and allthough the McLaren's and Ferrari's dominate you don't know the winner immediately - and there's always a battle for the next positions.
Sunday's race starts at 8am CET (should be 7am in the UK). |

My alarm is set this time so hopefully I wont fall asleep like I did for the last race. The Ferraris will run and hide but I'm hoping to see the McLaren's battle the way through. _________________ www.davehart.me |

Todays race was a bit boring. Kimi got a deserved win.
Massa doesn't seem to be able to control the car without traction control (I'm not surprised tbh). |

I agree it was a bit of a dull race today, I even fell asleep during the end of it getting up early to watch it. Silly spin by Massa really, more than likely pushing to hard to catch Raiikonen.
BMW looked strong though and the pace of the Ferrari's must be a worry to McLaren. _________________ www.davehart.me |

Its Bahrain this weekend.
The Ferraris look very strong so far. I dont think McLaren has the pace to match them. _________________ www.davehart.me |

Kubica with a surprising pole today. Hopefully he's not very light on fuel - would be great fun having other cars than McLaren and Ferrari fighting for the victory. |

I'll be watching the highlights later but it seemed a good race.
Hamilton had a real off day but the pace of the BMW's was promosing, not that far off the Ferrari's _________________ www.davehart.me |

I think that BMW has a higher chance of challenging Ferrari than McLaren this year! _________________ Back since Oct 15, 2002! |

From the last race you may be right there. Are McLaren missing Alonso technical qualities on how to push the car further or are they just not upto speed yet? They dont have the pace to match the Ferraris yet and are pretty much on a par with BMW at the moment. _________________ www.davehart.me |

I think McLaren will come back in the next race with both cars on the podium. |

I dont think its anything to do with Alonso because otherwise Renault will be fighting for the title now rather than barely getting a point or two! The last race was clearly shows Hamilton was under pressure. _________________ Back since Oct 15, 2002! |
