Well all the testing and antics have ended and there have been quite a few suprises with fastest times, although we all know they mean only 75% of the reality. So lets put your money where your mouth is.. WHO IS GONNA GET THE FIRST POLE of the season?


ONE NAME ONLY PLEASE - be fair!!!



Mine.. BUTTON ( I hope)

2) Massa - how long will he last ? about 2 more races

3) Kimi - did a good job - will improve for sure

Yes, I think choosing Alonso has been a good move for Ferrari but they had to keep Kimi, Massa has never been the right pilot for Ferrari.

As long as Alonso is in that team there will not be a team mate of a similar calibre to him, like Schmacher in the easy days he has to be he undisputed no.1 and won't allow anyone to challenge him. Being Alonso's team mate is a journeyman's job however someone who is happy to just pick up the pay check won't be a top drawer driver, you can't have both.

It was a fantastic race today and Button was brilliant, I almost put a tenner on him to win earlier on in the week, not great odds but I wish I had now. Button is so full of confidence at the moment, long may it continue.

GREAT race today really - best for several seasons... Bring it one boys

GOOD RACE JENSEN!!!!

Agree. Best race in a long time. Perez did a great job on a single stop. Williams had a great showing with Maldonado. Mercedes fell apart. I differ on Alonso, he did a good job with a bad car, so 5th is respectable. You are right about Massa, he's so far out of his zone, I doubt he can find his way back. Gripping performance by Raikonnen and Kobayashi.

1) Sad for Williams/Maldo that was really tough luck

2) Massa - how long will he last ? about 2 more races

3) Kimi - did a good job - will improve for sure

4) Hampster - oh did he get the hump straight off - chip on the shoulder for the season

5) Slonso - lol... I wouldnt like to be in his garage tonight!!

Race - excellent - Even Marussia with buggerall testing got round - much closer racing and exciting

Yes, I got it wrong calling that Red Bull had been sandbagging all through winter testing. Have just watched the Sky interview of Christian H on Friday evening, where he said they had not done any low fuel runs. When I first saw this, I took it at face value, but he was not really quizzed about it and he looked surprised that he did not have to defend his statement. So I concluded that he was not quite telling the truth. Still, it is good to see that Red Bull will not just walk away with it this year.

Someone explain to me this bizarre concept of sandbagging in free practice?? What are you smoking.

Schumi is going to get a good start and tag Button in the firs corner. I Hope not but I have this feeling.

Bit difficult this BBC vs Sky thing but we all have access to R5 live and Internet access so it is splashed all over the Autosport website. It will be difficult to keep a lid on it.
