slicks, KERS, the rise of brawn red bull and toyota, lewis's hairline, the worst ever ferrari start, crashes galore, liargate, jenson's dads outfits

what more do you want?

Brawn don't have the budget or infrastructure to stay competitive, the might of Ferrari and Mclaren will soon show - Hamiliton has had some unbelievable results in 'the worst car i have ever driven'

my odds above of 50:1 for button to win this season still stand….


By starting to pick up, i mean the competition from the other teams. It's been a mental start granted, but it's gonna get more interesting when the other teams get the splitter sorted

Courtesy of Popbitch..

Sebastien Vettel is this year's breakout
star of F1. Younger than Lewis Hamilton,
and widely liked across the sport, the 21
year-old is not your run-of-the-mill
media trained automaton.

After his first F1 win last year in Italy,
a journalist said to him, "This must be the
best day of your life?"

Vettel's reply? "You obviously weren't there
when I lost my virginity."

tvguide.co.uk wrote: Jake Humphrey introduces live coverage from the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, as the drivers contest the fifth race of the season (Start-time 1.00pm). Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen has won this race twice in the past four years, but has been well off the pace so far this term as the likes of Brawn GP and Red Bull have come to the fore. British successes in Catalunya are a distant memory, but Jenson Button has won three of the first four races of the campaign and will start among the favourites to become the first Brit to triumph here since Damon Hill in 1994. With commentary by Jonathan Legard and Martin Brundle

I know nothing about the sport, but have been intrigued with all the drama involved as of late. Can someone explain to me what the fuck's going on? Why are Brawn/Red Bull (!!) beating Ferrari/Mclaren et al?
