I'm watching, looks like it should be another good one, hopefully it'll all be decided on the track today, not in the Steward's
office...
And as for rain, I think it'll ake it a bit more interesting....

Friend suggested that should randomly water parts of the track during the race. Give teams a 5 minute warning and then place an amount of water from
mist to downpour.
i'm curious whats going to happen - if it gets boring i'll go in the garage and fit brake lines.

plenty of overtaking so far .... seems ker's has some use to make it entertaining (overtake on kers on the start / finish and then get retaken
by a normal car later on)

Weather and personal driver favorites aside one of the best GP's in years to watch.
Lots of overtaking all down the field, Weber and Hamilton providing more entertainment in 2 laps than we have seen in the last 2 seasons.
Maybe a brighter future for F1 as a spectator sport ?

said for a while this should be a good season with the changes ..... seems to be proven in todays race. Just wish they'd say its over now so i
can go get a shower and drink of tea. One advantage of ITV coverage was enforced tea breaks.

was pretty good race up to the stop. ferrari tyre decision for kimi seemed mad but nothing to lose really. understand reasons to stop, but think cars
should be able to go in any decisions. as i have said before if its safe to go at 10mph then the guy brave enough or / and the car designed to go at
11mph will win and should. If you think its not safe as a driver then come into the pits!!!
been a bit of a rush job really, bodged it all together in just 5 1/2 years.

Anyone else think that Eddie Jordan is an utterly useless pundit? He makes twice as many factual errors as Murray Walker and James Allen put together,
doesn't recognise key drivers and team members, and goes off on a tedious tangent every time he's asked a straight forward question by
Jake Humphrey. He also constantly contradicts Coulthard, who I think is pretty good.

yeah!
Yeah, Eddie .J gets on my wick , he's tedious and too opinionated.
He's rude the way he cuts across D.C all the time, and trying upstage and hog the microphone time.
I posted about this last week!
I think it doesn't help that Jake does not have the clout and authority to manage the situation as Jim Rosenthal or Steve Rider would have.
Also I dont think Martin and Jonathon work well together yet, probably Martin thinks he should have been the main commentator with D.C alongside,
which may have been OK, and more amusing like Parish/Cox , Jack Burnicle and Jamie Whitham
I hope that the BEEB tidy this up, as the regs seem to have made the racing more entertaining

The only issue with Martin / DC combo is that Martin is (or was) DC's manager.
