    I'm thinking about it this weekend.
    168 hours to go 'till the OZ GP.

    Go Kimi !

    Watched the OZ GP a couple of years ago at ESPNZone.

    Last year i signed up and the system crashed and was complete waste of time.

    Someone needs to make a better version!

    GO SPYKER & Toro Rosso (not sure who I'm going for in top 3 yet)

    Monaco favours the most talented, experienced drivers more than simply the fastest car.
    Will rookie Hamilton prove the exception ?

    I am sorry to tell you guys but this year the champion will be Felipe Massa. It's about time for a Brazilian driver to be the champion in F1. It's been over 13 years...

    Massa can only win if he doesn't have to pass anyone. He's a complete waste in hand to hand combat.This might have worked for Damon Hill in 96 but the grid is more talented now than it was then. Massa will be lucky to beat Kimi, Alonso or Hamilton. Also, he sucks in the rain. Not a good combo for a World Champ.

    This weekend will be the closest many of of us ever get to F1.
    Massa again looks good in practice.

    I wish one of the camera men had followed the marmot. I kind of wanted to see what the little guy was up to :D

    that marmot crossing the track was soo funny...when the car passed by he kinda stopped because of the AIR pressure on his face i think hehe and then he kept going wherever his destination was...

    If you didn't go to Montreal, this weekend is the closest you may get
    to F1. Did anybody see the night racing testing with the safety car ?

    Late on Thursday night, using a lighting set-up at the first few corners
    of the Indianapolis circuit, the FIA conducted a surprise hour of testing
    with safety cars to evaluate whether a night race was feasible.

    American company Musco Lighting, which provides sporting lights to
    NASCAR, Champ Car and IRL events, was brought in to help provide
    equipment for the test.

    As well as checking on potential visibility for drivers, evaluation was
    also made for trackside marshals, wet weather implications and
    television cameras.
