Last lap mechanical failures suck.

Well, I now know how many cars pit lane can hold.

CASCAR?

Not Cascar. That league rules because it has the word Canadian in it's name.:lol:

Besides the only thing that makes me happier than watching Montoya fail at Nascar is watching Ken Block fail at WRC.

Some good battles during the race. Hamilton [HTML_REMOVED] Sutil driving the wheels off their cars. Alonso kicking butt despite no clutch, what a drive from him. The top 3 drivers right now would have to be Vettel, Hamilton [HTML_REMOVED] Alonso.

McLaren and Mercedes dominated last nights practice finishing 1 thru 4 in both rounds.

Go Vettel. Best in F1 right now IMHO.

I heard Kubica is rumored to be at Renault for this year only and then will go to Ferrari. I like Massa but damn can you imagine Alonso and Kubica on the same team? That would be some good competition.

Wrong. Always.

Gotta agree about Vettel being number 1 right now. I like Massa also, but he's too inconsistent for a Ferrari seat. They need someone more level-headed.

Ferrari are on their 3rd engine already [HTML_REMOVED] each team only has 8 for the entire year before incurring penalties. That's why their practice times are on the slow side.
