Chinese grand prix f1

Phenom · April 17, 2011

Just watched the Chinese GP, first of all what a race, one of the most entertaining races in recent times.

I know some people dont like the new rules this year, new tyres, DRS and kers but I absolutely love it, makes for a much more exciting race.

What a stormer of a drive from Hamilton, this is why he's my favourite driver, attacks and overtakes everything possible, he was outstanding today and hopefully more to come.

Amazing race. Shame Button fell away at the end. It might well be a Hamilton Vettel fight for the championship.

Button threw anychance of winning out at the start of the race when he stopped at the red bull pit. I am only half way through the race ( had to stop to take the eldest to footy) so haven't seen Lewis take seb yet, but so far it has been very entertaining. I think so far this season we have had more overtaking than the past 3 years!!!

Hell of a race for sure i must admit though i still have reservations over KERS etc becuase of something Jackie Stewert said this week it's hellishly technical stuff and frankly the layman just won't get it and as F1 is desperate for the layman to watch the races it could become something that rebounds on the sport but we'll see.

As for the race a non Vettel win was needed the season could have been turned into a precession if Vettel had won again so props to Hamilton for taking the race away from him,in the long run i don't honestly think it'll make much difference to the championship result as Vettel has the air of a world champion about him one who may well beat Schumacher's record in due course.

I truly hope not I cant stand him, I find him quite cocky, hope Mclaren can get a car to rival red bull all year, if so Hamilton will give him some trouble for sure.

Hehe i must admit mate i do like the lad,yup he's got's the cockiness but to me it adds to his charm.

When does Mclarens engine deal with Mercedes run out? is it this year or next i can't remember tbh i think they'll struggle badly after that as with the current economic climate i see no other manufacturers coming into the sport for a few years either so who they'll go to is anyone's guess.
