Congrats to PM for winning the race! Is this now 5 for 5 diff winners! Fantastic season so far... So unpredictable to pick a winner. So happy for FW after miserable season last couple of years. What a difference a new Renault engine makes.
Also, RLer-Ritter3.4 for guessing it right!!! You Da Man!

 

Hammy is getting screwed by his own crew. Need to get the engineers and the pit crew squared away. They are mostly responsible for his current state.

 

I am very happy for Sir Frank and Pastor on his maiden win. Two comments from me.
1) Alonso, Kimi and Lewis showed why they are above the rest of the field with each having their own individual great drives.
2) Tires having way too much influence over the race outcomes. No matter how great of a driver you are once those Pirellis go it's over, tire strategy is they key to each race.

 

Speed TV cut out of the Venezuelan National Anthem was offensive at a minimum, this is the first time in history a Venezuelan driver wins a F1 race, this is the first time a Venezuelan makes it to the F1 podium.

Johnny Cecotto is the only other Venezuelan driver that made it to F1 and the best he did was a 6th place. Back is 84 Toleman had a Venezuelan driver (Cecotto) and a Brazilian driver (Ayrton Senna). Today, Senna's nephew is team mate to the 2nd ever Venezuelan to make it to F1.

Missing the interview was horrible from Speed TV. Is speed becoming a Soccer channel now?

The F1 guys had a major screw up, they displayed a Venezuelan flag with 7 stars, when the flag has 8 stars.

Great race by Pastor, Fernando, Kimi and Lewis.

 

PM did a great job, I just watched the race.

Alonso, it was his to lose and he did, STRIKE 3 HE IS OUT.

Kimi did a great job one can see he will win soon.

McLaren still needs to work. They have a couple of weeks.

It was exciting

 

I thought Alonso was a class act to lift up Pastor on his shoulders (with Kimi) on the podium. I can't wait until I win my first F1 race and two world champs put me on their shoulders.

 

I am not a Hamilton fan, but why would he get tossed to the back of the field for an fueling infraction in Q3? Why not 10th? Excessive penalty that weakened an otherwise great show.

Speed - what were you thinking for skipping the interview. Ugh.

 

It appears that the Williams crew accidentally set their own garage on fire during the victory celebration. Might have been a KERS unit malfunction. Sato claims he was no where near the fire when it occured

What is going on with the Red Bull cars front end ? They changed them how many times on both cars during the race ?

 

Great race! Alonso showed great class, he drove the stink out of that POS. McLaren really needs to get their act together.

About the soccer blunder: Chelsea now sponsors Sauber.
Televised game was Chelsea v. Blackburn. See a pattern here?
SPEED are getting paid. They suck for cutting interviews and podium ceremony, shameful.

 

That fire looked awful, I am amazed that the injury count was as low as it was. Great to hear that all will recover, but damn, that is some frightening stuff.

 

It is incredible that with so many world champions on the grid, we are still seeing first-time-winners this season. I expect Kimi, Lewis and Grosjean to win at some point this season, so that would make 8 winners in 6 constructors.

I imagine this season would be tough on any "Serious" fantasy league players. There seems to be zero predictability.

 

Such class that Fernanda,

He blames Pic for losing the Spanish Grand Prix.

Great dormer Champion.:thumb up:

 

The point by champion strikes again.

 

I guess technically a soccer ball is speedy. But wait til SPEED breaks away for the regional bowling finals when the USGP hits town.
