What's happened to F1 fans? C'mon Graham back me up! After all, your G/F won with young Lewis pushing her along! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Dedworth]

Good start for Hamilton :engflag: . Vettel & Rosberg should wind their necks in :biggrin:

[Terpe]

Really nice work from Lewis. He looks a bit more relaxed, hope he can focus his natural talent.
Mercedes still top of the tree. Bringing happy memories from my old stamping grounds in the village.

[andy222]

Early days yet but a easy win for the first race. A bit dissapointed with Button though. I hope they get thier fingers out and give him a decent car.

Always liked Jenson Button, the ultimate 'nice guy' :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Qualifying today, don't know the results but whatever should be an exciting race tomorrow!:xxgrinning--00xx3: The reason I don't know the results is because F1 have updated their website and now I don't know how to find the results!:anerikke:

[stevewool]

Hope it rains half way through the race

Sorry Rayna, when one reaches my time in life we don't like change. Anyway just watched recorded Grand Prix, what a great race I found it quite exciting and good for Vettal, well done to him. I think this year could be one of the best now Ferrari have at last got their car on form, it will be tough for Mercedes now what with Ferrari and Williams pushing them along also don't forget the two new rookies and I think McLaren will improve a little later in the season too! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Looks like tomorrows race will be exciting!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Sorry Rayna, don't mean anything, it's the first thread that registers in the list when looking for Formula 1 and just never thought. After watching todays race I will try to remember to use your Thread! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Qualifying today at Bahrain, Lewis pole, Rosberg busy crying! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Fantastic race, Lewis won but I was so pleased to see Kimi Raikkonen at second place, if the race could have had a few more laps Kimi would have won. Things will start to change now I'm sure, Ferrari and Williams doing well now, also Alonso did good too but felt so sorry for Jenson, hope things improve for him in the not too distant future. Looks like this season could be very exciting! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Great to see Lewis Hamilton again powering to a winning start this season :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Always a reminder of our UK village life to see Mercedes doing so well too :wink:

I wonder If Lewis Hamilton is thinking Red is the new Silver :biggrin:
All rumour of course :Erm:

I want to see Lewis beating Rosberg every day of the week. Rosberg likes to throw his dummy out and it is great to watch a grown man act like that when it is a German getting beat by an English man all the time.
At least we will see a good fight this year with Ferrari back in the mix.

[Dedworth]

Well done Lewis hope he keeps dealing with the opposition

Lewis and Nico come from completely the opposite family backgrounds! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Just remember Hamilton is driving a German car. Just thought I would mention it. :wink:

[Michael Parnham]

Is no one interested any more? Yesterdays race not bad its good now that Ferrari are back on form, things are beginning to change but having said that Mercedes will still be hard to beat. Nico won yesterday followed by Lewis and the other guy, I think he's German, isn't he? :Erm:

Sorry Keith, missed it but still nobody has said anything, they would rather say nasty things about Andy Murray and I bet they wish they could play tennis half as well as he does, Andy Murray has ever done me any harm! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

They say nasty things about Murray just because he said in the past that he would never support the England football team, I think! Oh and because he is a Scottish Nationalist! People are just crazy if that's just the reason to hate someone especially when they don't know them personally. :crazy: I bet they earn peanuts compared to what he earns and he couldn't care less about them either. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

That race is not actually a race. Even the F1 bosses say it is just more of a parade to showcase F1.

The race is lost or won in the paddock these days,

Michael ... I've always been meaning to ask: :Erm: ... what is 'pole' position in relation to F1?

[KeithD]

They park just behind someone from Poland :Wave: :cwm3:

[Michael Parnham]

Michael ... I've always been meaning to ask: :Erm: ... what is 'pole' position in relation to F1?

I must say Keith's reply made me smile, what it means is that when they qualify the day before the race the driver who gets round the track with the quickest time starts at the front when the race takes place, hence Pole position! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Every race is on 'Star Sport' channel in Philippines Peter, and you see the full race not just the highlights:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

A good few years i went to the grand prick and the cost was £100 for the weekend no seats just a grass bank to sit on and watch the screens, this was the year they stopped the pit wark because someone nicked a helmet from one of the garages, anyway a good weekend was had but you cannot beat watching it on tv , if its your sort of thing that is

[jonnijon]

I will be streaming live :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

:icon_sorry: ... motor racing - or indeed [watching] ANY sport - is just not my scene. :NoNo:

Well Lewis won and I'm happy with that! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Well done Lewis - EuroTrash dealt with :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Did you check out 'Star Sports' for F1 Peter? I watched every race whilst in Philippines, as we had Sky Cable TV and Internet. Used to watch 'Fox' and 'Syfy' channels for all the different Sci Fi series such as Falling Skies etc! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Sadly not. I'll check through our TV channels another time.
I completely missed the F1
I went out with my camera and lost track of time

Saw Lewis being interviewed on BBC world news though :Jump:

Btw, Sundays race was the best one this year, I am an avid viewer of F1 and have followed it on TV since it was first programmed. Did you find it on Star Sport Peter?

I checked my channels the other day and sadly no Star Sport.
I do have a couple of pretty good sports channels so was able to follow most of the Tour de France which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I also found a channel called DMax which covers most of my favourite motoring programmes including a lot of UK ones like 'Wheeler Dealers'. It's quite funny (and nice) to hear a British accent :icon_lol:

[grahamw48]

Excellent series, Wheeler Dealers. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Trefor]

:biggrin:

.

LOL!

They both scored points on Sunday which is nice to see.

Anyone else see the rumours about Jenson doing a spot on the new Top Gear? Could be interesting.

[Trefor]

Excellent series, Wheeler Dealers. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I love how they spend say £8,500 (not counting Ed's blood, sweat and tears) and then Mike says 'we will make good money on this one', only to make £250. i know its for TV but still...

Ed runs a garage somewhere near Bracknell, seems like a good guy. Mike is classic 'car dealer' spec and replaceable :smile:

Good programme - I remember one where they did up a Triumph Stag it sold for naff all and they made a fiver :yikes:

(Back in the day, those Stags always seemed to be owned by poncy blokes like Jason King off that 70s show :biggrin:).

Was a very fast race Keith, quite a number of cars dropped out due to various faults all in the first couple of laps:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Italian Grand Prix today, Lewis in pole again!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

As long as he gets away quick, he should win, but he has struggled at the start in 2 out of the last 3 races.

Great race, well done Lewis:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[KeithD]

Most exciting 2hrs of my F1 life :xxgrinning--00xx3: .... not the race .... the stewards enquiry :icon_lol:

[Rory]

Was good to see Lewis win again,love him or hate him, he is one of the top 3 drives in F1 but has the best car. Rosberg is not in the same league. I only rate Vettel and Alonso on par with Lewis.

Serious potential in Verspappen, the 17 year old drives with no fear, some might call him a little reckless. I could not believe it when i saw him overtaking Nasr on the outside in Belgium. Would anyone else have tried that ?

[stevewool]

Sorry to spoil the plot, WHAT DO I DO NOW GUYS:Erm::Erm::Erm::Erm::Erm:, errrrrrrrrrr drive the bloody car ,
I wonder if they would be as good as they are without all the gizmos that helps them win a race ie the pit lane and the radio

[KeithD]

Of course they'd be good enough. They've driven all kinds of different cars to get to F1. As Jeremy Clarkson showed in one episode of Top Gear when he drove one, it doesn't matter what tech it has, driving something with the acceleration and braking of an F1 car is suicidal. :omg:

To be honest i agree with you but it is technology that is advancing. A lot of the gizmos as you call them that are in your car now were first tested in Formula 1. What i would love to see back in manual gears, that would show the men from the boys.

[stevewool]

Well that put me in my place if Jeremy the Slapper Clarkson has driven one :biggrin:

[Michael Parnham]

Really good race at Singapore yesterday, more overtaking than anticipated, sadly Lewis had a problem with his car therefore had to retire halfway through the race but pleased to see Vettel, Ricciardo and Raikkenen on the Podium, well done!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

My little UK village triumphs again :Jump:

Personally I think that corner battle was half/half but Lewis had it overall.
Plenty of time to come back.

WooHoo Lewis.

I was lucky to attend and watch the Japanese Grand Prix many times.
Thank you to my ex boss for those times. Such happy days
Cheers. :Beer:

Nice to see him taking such an interest though. :smile:

Really was a very exciting race, well done Lewis, looking forward to next year even though this year hasn't finished yet. Great stuff!:waver::xxgrinning--00xx3:

A good advert for F1 in front of the American (motor sport mad) audience too. :smile:

Hopefully next season will, as rumoured, return to cars that sound rather more impressive.

[Michael Parnham]

Mexican Grand Prix, Qualifying Nico Poll Lewis 2nd and Sebastian 3rd, should be good tonight 10.30 BBC Highlights!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[KeithD]

The problem with Mexico is that the thinner air makes overtaking very difficult. So, you end up with a relatively boring race. Lewis couldn't overtake Rosberg as he lost down force, grip, and his breaks overheated whenever he got close.
