I'm currently watching a stream of Sky Sports F1 HD on FlashSportStreams without any sound because I'm at work.
Any more F1-er's up and about? I haven't paid much attention since it was obvious Vettel was going to win the title in about July last year. About the same time I was in the south of France and decided to bore my girlfriend to death for 4 hours and have a very slow stroll around the circuit in Monaco. Great experience standing on the hairpin, walking through Casino square, etc. after having seen it for years on the TV. Even nicked a bit of concrete from the pitlane and sat having my lunch on the start line. Great stuff.
What's going to happen this year then? Field seems a bit more open but the usual suspects are still expected to there or thereabouts, possibly with the exception of Ferrari who have a 'difficult' car by the looks of it. My money's on Vettel again, simply because him + his car seems the best overall package. Ugly cars though aren't they? Safe but ugly.

Same as usual I expect, I'll be all excited looking forward to the start of a new season. Then after 6 laps the red bulls will be miles in front, button and Hamilton will be competing for 6th place, very little over taking, the "race" is effectively over within 20 mins, I give up as I agree with the kids sooty is more exciting.

I hate Sky as much as next man (and women, present company accepted) but FlashSportStreams means I don't have to break my own moral code to watch it. Decent coverage so far, although they have nicked half of BBC's team.

Apparently the new McClaren car has some fandangled system to reduce drag by diverting air somewhere or other. Other teams are crying foul and saying it is illegal so watch this space particularly if McClaren have a good start to the season.

Yes its a duct thats operated by the drs.
Should be some clarification whether its legal tomorrow.
Nice to see the brits on top, qualifying is better than the race in my opinion

Its Mercedes not McClaren that have deployed a system to reduce drag and improve straight line speed. Them pesky Germans!

Pretty good wasn't it? Plenty of movement up and down the field apart from at the very front. Button could nick it this season because he's so much more mature and consistent than Hamilton and less prone to mistakes. Looks like the Mercs are shit on their tyres so that has pissed on their chips. Red Bull vs McLaren I reckon.

Such a great shame that BBC Radio 5live didn't lose the rights to broadcast this garbage ;D

Thought it was a good race today. Plenty of incidents and action. I'm a Hamilton fan but also like Button so I'm reasonably happy. Hammy didn't look to happy after the race though. Surprised there wasn't an incident review when Grosjean(?) was hit early on.

It also helps that Button is a much better driver, fingers crossed he does well this year.
