As usual, Webber has a shocking start, that'll be his race over Third if he's lucky. Buemi and Hulkenberg are out already. Schumacher's damaged his front wing, sparks everywhere. So he's down to the back. MASSIVE crash with Hulkenburg and Koboyashi.

The trouble with the safety car is that they're losing tyre pressure and they arent' clearing the standing water from the racing line, so expect to see a few more crashes yet.

I woulda thought OneHD woulda at least had an uninterupped coverage.

The thing is, they're relaying the ITV coverage, so when ITV cut to an adbreak then channel 10 have to aswell.

Woeful driving from Webber. His race is going from bad to worse. His only chance to get back into this is if there's another safety car or if he can get lucky in the next round of pits when it starts to rain.

Actually, the commentators are from BBC, not ITV, and the BBC don't have adbreaks at all. That's why Ten/One always have the local guys come in before and after there breaks. And you notice when they go back to the commentators, they are always in mid sentence.
What pisses me off is it's guatanteed something will happen while the ads on. Vettel actually went off during the break, and they pretended it didn't when they came back, then fast forwarded 3 laps.

You woulda hoped that at least on 1HD they would have had a Live, non interupted coverage - esepcailly as it was BBC coverage.

I bet $20 on either Alonso or Schumacher to win the race, and the fucking eventual race winner takes them out on the first corner.
Fuck you Jenson.

:-({|= :lol:
I hope you only bet because you got good odds on Schuey, 'cause he's nowhere at the moment.

Well I took a risk.
Schuey was $17 to win, and it looked like it was going to rain. I thought if it did, Michael would of won.
And he definitely would of, because after the track dried yesterday he was waaaay off the pace. I beleive that he had his car set-up for wet weather.

But credit to Button, I thought he was an absolute idiot changing to Slicks so early in the race, but it paid off greatly.

Button took the early gamble to switch to slicks early on and it paid off, Kudos to him. But he got lucky with nothing at all going right for Red Bull too.

Schumacher was never going to win the race. I'd be surprised if he won a single race this season - he was off the pace pre-season, he was well off the pace yesterday, he's a good second off the pace in qualifying, etc.

Rain effected qualifying in Malaysia and Webber finds himself on Pole. No real surprise there.

Curiously, the one guy who's slower than him off the start is next to him (Rosberg), but he'll be worried about having Vettel runnign up his arse off the start.

Alonso, Hamilton and Massa are 19, 20 and 21 respectively. Though with how Hamilton drive last week I'm not sure whether that's necessarily a handicap for him.

Mark won his 2nd pole in his 9th season of f1 - not bad for a qualifying specialist.

It'll rain this arvo, so the pole won't mean anywhere near as much as being on the right tyres at the right time. Some random to win. Rubens or sutil maybe.

I would love to see Sutil win a race.

A wet race is good for webber, though he's still on the intermediate typres so he may have to pit early.

Adrian Sutil winning a race would be tops. But that's highly unlikely. The Force India cars are generally about 2s off the pace.

Redbull 1, 2. Vettel winning from Webber, Rosberg, Kubica, Sutil, Hamilton.

Gotta fucking lol at Alonso blowing his engine trying to overtake Button.

Alonso. :cry:

Nice job by Vettel, he could have 75 points out of 75 if his car hadn't fucked up in Bahrain, and he didn't fuck up in Melbourne.

It's scary to think how well the lad's running. I'd be putting some dosh on him winning the title right now. In fact, I might just go do that in the morning.

I was certain is was going to rain (I blame the media) - but Sutil drove pretty well anyway!
Idk about Vettel for the title, he's in the least reliable of the top 3 cars and hasn't won races when the car is quick - it might not be quick all season. Hope you got a decent price.

Vettel is the fastest guy out there. The only problem is reliability. If he hadn't lost a cylinder in Bahrain and made a mistake in melborne he'd have won all three races.

Overnight Vettel's odds for the championship almsot halved from 4.50 in to 2.50.

Qualifying for Chinese GP this weekend.

1. Vettel.
2. Webber.
3. Alonso.

I still can't beleive where Vettel could be atm, if he finished in the first two races!

Webber to get jumped off the line as usual. Vettel to lead from start to finish.

I like the Shanghai circuit. Really great sweeping turns.

Ill wishes for Alonso's luck. He really does annoy me greatly.

I am with you on your first statement.

Second statement I agree with as well. Shanghai curciut was always my favourite on the Forumula One games I had. :lol:

As for your third statement. Alonso FTW. :P

:lol: :lol:

I remember when Webber was the DNF king and could never ever seem to finish a race listening to Roy and HG they would go on about how disappointed they were in Mark when he finished a race. Now he's consistently up there they would be livid:lol:

Webber was the DNF king because of poor reliability with the car rather than his own fault. The car couldn't keep up with him.

Why on earth do you like Alonso, david?

Yeah felt sorry for him really. Got given so much shit for it when it wasn't his fault his car was an epic fail.

Alonso is a fantastic driver, and I have liked him ever since he won his first race in 2004. I knew he was going to be big.

I don't mind his arrogance, but I like him plainly for his driving ability.

He's a terrible driver. If he doesn't get his way, he tries to take out the driver in front of him. See Button last week.

He is a two time World Champion. How can he be a terrible driver?

And give me some examples of when he has done that?

Nigel Mansell was horrible. He won the title though.

He tried to take out button last week and blew his engine in the process.

His teammate crashing out of a race so that he can win.

He has run Jarno Trulli off the track, forcing him off the racing line and into the Gravel Trap.

He's a dirty driver and a wanker.

He is a two time world champion. You can not be a horrible driver if you win the FORMULA ONE championship twice.
Mansell and Button arguably are not that good at all, but they did not win the championship twice did they?

And you think it was his decision to make Pique crash so he could win the race? No of course it wasn't. It was the teams decision, you can blame it on Alonso.

You seriously think he tried to take out Button last week? Why on earth would be do that, risking not finishing the race when he is leading the championship, and not picking up any points at all. He was simlpy trying to get past him, and get more points.

I don't like Man Utd, but I don't go around saying they are shit and are a horrible team. You don't like Alonso, that is fine, but he is not a horrible/dirty driver at all.

ok, how about Mika Hakkinen, also not a great driver - but he won consecutive titles. Somehow DC ends up playing second fiddle to him. Go figure.

Alonso tries to force drivers off the track, he tried to do it to Button, he's got into arguments with Hamilton over it (mostly because Hamilton's tried doing the same), he did it to Trulli.
