Anybody excited about the new Formula-1 season starting this weekend? I know I am!

Lewis Hamilton is on pole for the first race, the Australian Grand Prix -

Any predictions for the season? I will be rooting for Lewis and McLaren to win the driver's and constructor's championships!

 

Yes!!
Im pretty happy Raikkonens car screwed up and he didnt go any further.
Im also bummed Webbers car also broke down.
It looks like all the teams have improved a bunch except for renault, Alonso is going to have to do some work this year if he wants to win.
BMW, Williams, Toyota and both of the red bull teams will have to compete with each other for the points this year.

 

BMW SAUBER GO KUBICA!!!

 

What a GP...7 out of 22 cars finished. Most exciting GP in a while.

 

What an awesome race! The new safety car for the '08 season, Mercedes SL63 AMG, had a busy first day at the office.....what was it - 3 safety car periods? Lewis Hamiliton was special. It was great to see him and Mclaren stick it to Ferrari after last year's chaos and drama.

And just for thrills - Timo Glock's spectacular crash: http://youtube.com/watch?v=hMv7RLjkC90

 

HAHA WOW that was impressive! It could have been worse though. At least he was able to walk away.

God i miss having Speed Channel. I am moving april 11th and will be getting it then.

 

it was a very exciting race. i was happy to see ferrari get shut out of the points!

i wish kubica and webber could have hung around and finished. overall, i was happy to see hamilton and rosberg on the podium. i've always been a williams fan and it's good to see them back on track. and how about bourdais? points in his first race, good for him.

i'm going to montreal in june and can't wait. i think lewis could en up dominating, but who knows. kimi will still be there at the end i'm sure.

 

Bourdais did so good til the engine let go.

Kimi got 1.

and that was such a young podium. I'm so stoked for Williams to be back in it.
and what about Rubins driving off with the fuel hose still in the car.?


So far so good.

 

I stayed up late watching, so many cars out of the race, anyone think it has something to do with no TCS this year?
