I just realised that this year's Chinese GP was not sponsored by Sinopec but instead, it was Petronas! (as seen during the trophy presentation ceremony)
 

Huge Congrats to Sebastian the Kid (in an affectionate way) who finished with guns a blazin'!

With the talent at the wheel, and the right team management, Adrian Newey is vindicated.


I wish I could say the same about Ferrari, but as of now, Ferrari is no better than Force India. :thumbsd:
 

Congrats to Sebastian Vettel:thumbsup: Too bad I couldn't watch the race. But Ferrari need to do something about their cars quick!

Adrian Sutil almost scored 3 points for Force India. unfortunately, he buckled under pressure from Pork Slice and sent into the barriers. it's a real pity for the team. not too sure when will such opportunity come again for Force India.

as for Ferrari... i don't know what to say liao. after 3 races... and still no points.
 

yes, it was good to see some other teams winning instead of the usual ferrari or mclaren. well done.

whatever it is, my heart is still with BMW and i support them all the way.
 

Poor weekend for BMW.. Its a 2nd time unlucky for Sutil and Force India. 1st was at monaco then today at China too.. :dunno: Saw Flavio shaking his head when Piquet spun before the pit entrance.. I don't think he will be here next season. :sweatsm: McLaren 5-6. Well done to Heikki and Lewis!

Nelson Piquet Jr has quite a family reputation to uphold. His father Nelson Piquet Sr was one of my favourite drivers, and so far his son has been quite disappointing.
 

Alamak why Massa engine died!:sweat:
 

Electronic problem. Looks like their reliability is going south. First the curse (I meant KERS) went into smoke, then the next race the engine just died.

I think he has been quite unlucky these few races from last season to this season. He drove very well today but the car died on him.

Congrats to RBR and Vettel. They have done well and their pace was very fast. Even Brawn got no answer to it. Think Hammy will be quite disappointed with himself. If he din spin like 3 times, he have a very good chance for a podium finish.
 

Awww... for the first time this season, i loss all my bets this China race... :bsmilie:
 

Wow .... great racing from Red Bull team.... good wins for Vettel and Webber.

Great too for the 3 & 4 .... Brawn team.

Hey 5 & 6 is ....McLaren. Not bad from all that is happening. Was disappointed with Lewis driving, think he could have done better than Kovalenien. Is this a slide down hill for Lewis?

Ferrari ..... :dunno: Lost for the season.

About the ONLY thing I agree with Stefano D is the decision to focus on 2010 car if things don't turn around in the next two races.

Ferrari's pretty much a goner for this year, even as a Ferrari fan.
 

congrats to red bull. solid racing in the wet. very impressive! :thumbsup:

as for ferrari, massa did really well considering where he started. the car let him down. dunno whats up with kimi. he came out after pitstop in 10th and slid down to 13th within a few laps. :(

anyway...next race!!

FORZA FERRARI!!!!

:cheergal:

from another Ferrari fan... sad to say that this has to come about after last year's cliffhanger. last year was one of the best. the WDC was decided on the last lap.

this year, i dunno. maybe they want to create another cliffhanger? :think:
 

dun give up on ferrari so fast. :nono: they might come back soon than you think. it ain't over till it's over!

wah.... sounds like wwe (wrestling). die already can still come back. wayang, man.
 

anything can happen mah. this is only the 3rd race.
 

true. I wonder why Kimi is writing off the season already. :thumbsd: He should have more fighting spirit, having won the 2007 championship by 1 point from Lewis. :sweat:

Kimi tends to be pragmatic about such things.

But then again, I'm hoping for a all guns a blazin', take no prisoners attitude in Bahrain, and subsequently Spain.

I say drive like there ain't no tomorrow! Forza Ferrari!!!
