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

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

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.

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

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!!!

No TV for the first practice session, but serious F1 junkies (
) can watch live timing & scoring here
2nd session on SpeedTV @ 0200 eastern time.
