    British Grand Prix

    Schumi was 5th fastest in Friday 1st practice. I expect it will be just another Ferrari vs Renault contest.

    I expect that Silverstone will play much like Barcelona did i.e. easy for Renault to win.

    I think Alonso came out only for one lap and wasn't even a complete lap.

    could be yet another boring procession, then. Monaco is the only GP worth watching - unless you need help with sleeping, that is.

    Yes, lets pray that it rains in mid-race... that should spice things up

    With Alonso, Kimi and schumy in the top three together lets hope we see some fightin' but I doubt it, too much at stake.

    Nice suspense for the last minute of the qualifying session... It would be nice if we could have gotten the partial times then...

    Re: British Grand Prix

    Another boring parade. This year is like the previous years with schumy but now its Alonso who dominates.

    Next two races will be on classically Ferrari territory, Canadian and US GPS's, extremly fast tracks were the Ferrari's top speed is a great advantage.
    And the Ferrari's have been consistently pulling the highest top speed of all the grid and by a big margin, you don't have to tell that to Kimi today, Schumy had around 8km/h more that Kimi and just killed him on the straights (the McLarens are runing with more agressive downforce, hence less top speed).
    So maybe this will spice things up a bit (wishful thinking from the nostalgia of good olde F1 days with Prost, Senna, etc)

    I totally forgot the fact that they were racing today.
    Apparently my subconscience is protecting me from the boredom that is F1 these days. And your comments seem to support that.

    Monaco? How can you say that? It's the only race where passing is impossible.

    Passing impossible? Someone clearly forgot to tell Michael Schumacker and others this year

    This year, Schuey started last and finished 5th (or maybe higher - don't remember). That's alot of passing...

    Re: British Grand Prix

    Something has to be done to stop the constant procession from totally destroying the racing concept.

    The only passing these days, involving cars fighting for the lead, is under blue flags when lapping back-markers.
