Phill (and other racing fans), I'd like to ask a small favor...

Since my world has been on DVR time since 1999 and I don't see myself getting back to watching races live any time in the near future, if ever, I'd really appreciate it if, when posting F1 threads during this (or any) season, no spoiler information is included in the subject lines (i.e. race results, race incidents, etc.)

If the subject line mentions a race, I know to avoid it if I haven't seen the event yet. Also, if the situation arises where recent race results, etc. are going to be posted in a thread that has a unrelated subject, the board software supports "spoiler tags" which allow you to
Spoiler
 

(just drag across the black box to reveal the text in the spoiler tagged area)

Thanks everyone!!

Sorry, got so carried away with the start of the season, I didn't think of the time shifters. I will take that under advisement for the next rounds.

Kuibica might have also gotten points except for a stupid mistake but it seems there were a lot of stupid mistakes that race.

I also noticed a higher incidence of off-track excursions. It seems the lack of traction control is making a difference. I hope that no serious accidents occur this year. One accident was pretty bad as it was.
Well...if you're referring to the Kubica accident then that was no stupid mistake, not by his behalf anyway. Stupid Nakajima went right into the back of Kubica's car which was brought into the pits and then garaged for safety reasons. It seems like those jap drivers are nothing but trouble. BANZAAAAI!

Seriously now they should stick to D1 and leave alone F1. Last year i remember Sato (if memory servers right) took out Nick when he was doing very well.

Anyway, i'm really sorry for my fav driver He fought so bravely with Lewis in Quali and i was right on my toes when he did his hot lap, almost screeming don't do a mistake, keep your cool! And that little run off happened and cost him pole. But no biggie since in the race it wouldn't have mattered. Lewis drove very well. But it was very nice to see P1 for BMW with the season debut.

Moreover it seems BMW was a little secretive with it's winter test results. They probably underrated their performance, and now after a first impression both Nick and Robert say the car has alot more potential to be unlocked and discovered.
Interesting again to see Nick's strategy. Although on par most of the time he can be slower than Robert but he manages to find the necessary strengths to carry on and do good. He is an experienced driver and with a little luck from that last Saftey car he got 2nd place.

Also there was nice to see some good teamwork at the pits.

Finally, 2nd position not bad at all. Keep it up BMW!!!

Trulli is so light on fuel. He was 3 seconds faster than Glock.

I expected Ferrari to do well on this type of circuit.
