Sooooooooo what a mess! Lewis had the F1 crown in his hands and somehow managed to drop the ball. In China his team totally froze when it was plainly obvious that he needed new tires desperately. I was screaming at the telly, and what does he do? beaches it in the ONLY gravel trap in the whole place...pitlane entry. How embarrassing.

than at the finale in Brazil, all he needed was a 4th place finish to win the Championship and what does he do? Fights Alonso on the first lap, comes off 2nd best then has a mechanical failure. All he can manage is 7th. Not good enough. McLaren and Hamilton gave it to Kimi.

GAH!

Lewis Hamilton won the Japanese GP today. Brilliant drive in terrible wet conditions. A day which saw his wanker team-mate Alonso lose control of his car and crash in Lewis' wake.

One thing which I had never seen on the podium was the winning driver, during his national anthem looking behind at his nations flag. I see that as a moment of pride from Lewis. Bloody great stuff. Fingers crossed he'll sew up the championship next week in China!!

GG

Lewis won the race from the front. Bloody good job. Made his bosses and teammate look very stupid with egg on their faces. Apparently Fernando isn't talking to Lewis any more. What a pansy. 

What the hell is Alonso thinking? What a complete wanker, holding up Lewis on his pitstop during qualifying and thinking that he'd get away with it. And his team making up a pile of bullshit to cover his useless arse. Shame on them!

Thankfully the FIA came through and penalised Alonso 6 places and no points for McLaren.

 

WANKER! 

All the teams were testing in Bahrain this week. It's hard to tell who is the real pace-setter. BMW, McLaren and Ferrari have all been fastest at some point or another. For sure Honda, Renault and especially Red Bull look weak.

Yesterday MCLaren was comfortably fastest, Alonso a tenth up on Hamilton.

I'm really excited about the new F1 season, more so than any time in the last 15 years! At last Michael has retired and a serious mix up of drivers/teams has taken place. Kimi in a Ferrari, Alonso in at Mclaren with rookie Lewis Hamilton, Heikki Kovalainen formerly test driver at Renault alongside Fizzy. Pre-season testing has given nothing away other than the fact that Mclaren and Ferrari are level pegging and the rest are there or thereabouts. I'd love to see Mclaren dominate, hopefully with Hamilton getting regular wins. It would be fantastis for the sport, thats for sure.

Race one prediction? Gimme 3 weeks to think about it.
