    Sauber needs to add another seat in one of their cars. One guy gets the wheel & the other the brakes & gas peddle. Problem solved! :D

    DVR for me. Plan on running out and getting donuts in the morning and enjoying them while watching the race.

    Meh, I always skip the podium ceremony so I missed Arnie and I don't regret it.

    I predicted they'd drop like flies during the race but had no idea it would start before the race started.

    The race, itself, wasn't thrilling but I enjoyed watching to see how things have changed and how the new drivers would do.

    I loved that with all those rookies Maldonado still managed to be the first carnage casualty. :D

    The Saubers looked really good. You can Bet Giedo VDG is drooling over his chances in Malaysia...I'm sure he figures he'll be driving for them by then.

    I'm looking forward to seeing how the teams behind the develop/test curve get to grips (or don't) as the season progresses. Still have my fingers and toes crossed that Honda will figure things out soon.

    Wish I had recorded it instead of enduring it live... When folks started dropping out on the warm up lap we knew things weren't going to be good...

    Was nice to see Vettel get a podium in his first start with Ferrari, after that the fact that a rookie in a Sauber pulled off a fifth speaks volumes about the overall competitive health of Formula 1..

    Twas the first race, fingers crossed!!

    I'd like to see Susie get a drive at some point. She has potential, though not the race record that Alex Lynn has. Even so, one race would be nice.

    She was only a couple of thousandths of a second off Massa on her last practice session. I kinda hate to say it, but maybe the reduced grid would give her a better chance to shine. Fewer battles for a less experienced driver might be a benefit.

    Though I gotta say, if I were making that decision, I'd take Lynn based on his record. He has a couple of championships under his belt.

    Alonso and Bottas are both planning to race this weekend, but they're both still technically uncertain until they pass their official medical checks on Thu.

    The teams would be stupid to not bring potential reserve/backup drivers, just in case. I assume Magnussen will be there for McLaren, haven't seen who Williams decided to call up as a backup.

    Noce long article on good suggestions to fix F1.

    Gordon Kirby - Auto Racing - The Way It Is

    It's a bit long to quote here, but the tl;dr summary is that he thinks that reducing downforce, changing tire size, and restricting wind tunnel testing would increase the braking distance, and reduce cornering speed, thereby allowing drivers to pass more and show off their skills better.

    It's worth reading the whole thing.

    You know, maybe Horner needs to go.

    :confused: What do Alonso and McLaren have to do with the Renault and Red Bull finger pointing?

    edit: After thinking about it for a few seconds more, I thinking you are saying that if he had been considering Red Bull then he probably made the better decision by going with McLaren. Sorry, I'm not connecting the dots well this morning.

    Bernie is now looking at the makers of feminine hygiene products as potential F1 sponsors.
