Did the off-throttle remaps get banned for this race in the end? Or for that matter, Ferraris stupid wing?

Hope to see that order reversed for the actual race finish.

same here, though in all honesty I'll not be holding my breath.

There is of course potential because of the DRS and maybe Vettels KERs not working but ultimately I think for the next few races McLaren and Ferrari are going to just be fighting for 3rd and hope that something untoward happens.

I just hope McLaren or god forbid even Ferrari manage to replicate the speed that RB have shown. Otherwise its going to get into another MSC+Ferrari type situation and people will get bored.

If the engine mapping goes so does rb poles and wins.

alonso

vettel to get a DNF.

webber will win easily.

utajoker · 22 May 2011 at 12:13

that was a cool intro

I like the BBC coverage generally but these stupid dramatic openings are a bit silly.

I don't, I think it would be far better for F1 if he was beaten fairly.

I appreciate that there is a lot of skill in what he does and the work that goes in to giving him the best car on the grid, but it is a bit boring up front at the moment. We desperately need the others to get in gear and catch up.

Looking forward to see if Lewis can take out both Red Bull's at the start, or just himself

Was just going to say I quite like them.

Sets the scene and builds a bit of excitement for the upcoming race, even though red bull are just going to run off into the distance again.

utajoker · 22 May 2011 at 12:16

if vettel continues to win, no matter what everyone else does how soon will this be over?

Setroc · 22 May 2011 at 12:19

I think the openings like today's are quite good. They're a bit of fun really to start off the build up, and do their job! I don't like those intros where Eddie Jordan does the voice over though

They are a bit cringe worthy but a good laugh too! Love the little highlights of the best bits so far...

Hamilton looks like a right idiot with that silly beard!

Oh yeah and wooo! Lee McKenzie

Yep very odd intros.

Oh dear god this race better keep me awake today. Have had 4 hours sleep after a mini riot at my sisters Birthday party yesterday and not in a good mood.

Hello everyone by the way.

Schumacher doesn't believe Rosberg has an edge? old aged blindness?
