7 different winners in the first 7 races. Maybe it'll continue until every driver has a win, lol.

Helluva race today in Spain. Gotta love the fact that the cars are so close in time. I'm not unhappy that Lewis crashed out. You can hear on the team radio what a dick he is. Alonso winning at home [HTML_REMOVED] Schumi getting onto the podium is awesome!

Hamilton was cock-blocking. He earned that one.

Youtube clips are about as useful to me as a miniskirt in Iran.

I saw some bikini gals at the Valencia circuit and almost had a "moment."

Wrong. Always.

Some of the big name drivers are already set for next year. Webber [HTML_REMOVED] Vettel (possibly Ferrari-bound in 2014?) both have at least one more year at Red Bull. Alonso has vetoed having Hamilton as a partner at Ferrari. Brawn has stated that Schumi can stay if he wants to [HTML_REMOVED] if he still has the pace. As for Button, Rosberg [HTML_REMOVED] Massa?

I need to go to Canadian GP in 2013 before they go to V6 engines in 2014.

I need to go to Canadian GP in 2013 before they go to V6 engines in 2014.

Why? The last time they ran V6 turbo's was sick. The v10/12 era was just as good because the handling caught up but the mid 80's turbo cars were insane and should have been let go…

Was at the 80 to 89 Adelaide races and apart from the buckets that the engines were attached to, the cars were nuts…

I have not read through the reg's but i doubt the cars will be slower. bring on the turbos.

Sounds like it's very unlikely Robert Kubica will ever be back in F1. It's been a year [HTML_REMOVED] a half since his crash [HTML_REMOVED] still not enough improvement. Sucks as the guy had a bright future, perhaps for Ferrari? Maldonado still proving to be a wildcard. Unpredictable [HTML_REMOVED] a danger to other drivers. I think Alonso will take the title. If he gets consistent results he should be okay. The 3 drivers who are in the best groove right now are Alonso, Vettel [HTML_REMOVED] Raikonnen.

Raikonnen's pass going into Eau Rouge last weekend was insane! Then later when his pit told him to press with 2-3 laps remaining he said," Sure, just give me full power." That boy is some kinda gifted.

Is it counter productive to ride on my exercise bike with a cocktail in hand?

Yeah, I miss Kubica. Great, aggressive, skilled racer. It's a shame.

Wrong. Always.
