The channel does not matter as long as its still broadcast in crappy SD

[Paulos G]

Well as Mrs G was getting up anyway I thought I may as well watch the race Live. Anyone else about?

WARNING!!

I MIGHT POST SPOILERS DURING OR AFTER THE RACE SO READ ON AT YOUR OWN RISK.

[Gradius]

I didn't know about the 5 place drop for mclaren. After watching the replay it was justified though.

A few drops of rain could make this race anybody's.

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Fairly uneventful race compared to last week, but still some good moments: the three abreast into the hairpin was pretty fun. Pretty easy win for Raikonnen in the end.

Massa seems to be struggling without traction control, although he seemed to think there was some kind of technical error for his crash.

[PeteJ]

Enjoyable race though, showed that Toyota and especially BMW could cause a few upsets this year.

[Roddie]

It was interesting that Brundle seemed sure Massa was at fault while Blundell seemed just as confident that it was a technical failure. Doubt we'll find out for sure either way.

Poor old DC in 9th place, i was praying for Alonso to slide off the track at the end. Fair play to Webber, he was really attacking those pit lanes today

Yeah, he was attacking them so much that he broke his light on the first pit stop! I was wondering if there are any regulations about that, since they use them in the pits and when it's wet, but I noticed at least one other car that wasn't using it in the pits, so maybe it's optional...?

[adam_the_browndog]

poor old Fischella... 12th.. Wish DC,Webber and Alonso and who ever was 10th. Spun off

[Duddyroar]

I think Fisi will be happy with 12th, TBH...at least he finished.

Absolutely AMAZING 250 race just now, hope you all watched it

[TheForce]

yep, amazing race, I really hope we are gonna see some top stuff in the GP as well, Lorenzo seems to be the man on the move at the moment, it's not my fav guy, but he's really fast, that said, I think we haven't seen the full potential from Rossi and the Bridgestones....

I'm ready for it !! gentlemen, start your engines !
