what a race!!! high drop-out rate. kinda disappointed that Ferrari did not make it to the finish line. wonder what happened to their reliability???
anyway, congrats to McLaren and its supporters here. Hamilton deserves his win today.

Didn't had the chance to watch the race. Guess it is a bad start for us Ferrari fans.
But don't worry....
FERRARI WILL BE BACK. GO GO GO!!!

fwah! Kimi like drunk driving! :bigeyes: Ferrari is really lost without Jean Todt, Ross Brawn and Schumi. :sweat:
Excellent start by McLaren; Honda, Williams and BMW have improved alot.

Yes we will be back!!! we let them have first race la...... we will catch up before anyone can say Ferrari!;p
Jokes aside, it really did seem like Kimi felt irritated on his passing of Hekki. Probably a bad hangover from the night before? :bsmilie:
Oh well, let's just hope the team bucks up for Sepang. I could almost here a few chuckles from Ross Brawn. C'mon Ferrari, Forza!!!!!
adiknaim, you, like some of us here, are the minority. But don't let that fact take the fun away from supporting your team and F1 overall. Most of us here have been doing this for the past few years already. You may refer back to the older F1 threads in Kopitiam.
Go McLaren go!

All are F1 fans here, and we are friendly with each other. Ferrari fans are just a bit more passionate than the rest..... ;p
GO FERRARI GO!!!
The high drop rate was due to the TC and other "Electronic Aid" to the car was ban.
So now without those aids and when you are in a real race with 16 cars going at the same time, the chances of getting hit by another car is pretty high.
Anyone can be a winner.
F1 is not about McLaren vs Ferrari only.
You too can put up bold letters too. Feel proud of the team you are supporting!
hahaha... chances of everyone finished in the points are high too :thumbsup:
this season should be real interesting to watch.
come on Ferrari, go, go, go...
Imagine if Kazuki Nakajima (one of the 2 Japanese on the current F1) where to be the world champion.......the rest just get knock by each other due to no computer assist.:bsmilie:
the car in red oso shout so loud... louder than their engine.... no wonder their engine blew out :bsmilie:adiknaim, you, like some of us here, are the minority.
