    Actually watched some of this early this morning. I don't know :skep: F1 just dose not seem like real racing to me anymore, more like watching a video game. The cars, yes, extremely fast and nimble, but all digital displays, no shifting. The Dhubai track, looked like it was made just for that one race. The people in the pits, so prim and proper. Pretty boy, Lewis Hamilton on the stage. I mean, could you imagine somebody like Stirling Moss climbing out of his car clean? They used to be covered in oil when they climbed out :lol: I don't know, just to clean and orderly for me......please be gentle on me :cool:

    And that's just one of the many reasons there are so many forms of motor-sport. At least you come by your opinion honestly by watching...

    Unfortunately after the exciting qualifying, if the race itself were a movie it might have been titled "Failure to Inflate". With everyone so close in speed at the top, a very competitive race was in the making, but alas those expectations and Seb's right rear tire deflated by only the second turn, leaving the race to Hamilton with no one able to mount any serious challenge...

    Abu Dhabi is a spectacular complex, a money is no object venue to rival Monte Carlo. Bernie must have felt right at home!:wink:
