Trulli.

[TheArsenal]

Massa is teh suck. (N)

Meanwhile, rumor on the BBC thing is that Hammond is going to be the host, and Coulthard possibly as commentator.

You know what would be better, Hammond, May and Clarkson, just wittering on for an hour and a half

Brilliance.

[TheArsenal]

"Top Gear presents Formula One" would be awesome.

[RazorsEdge]

Webber in a top 8 finish!

[Lineker]

Hammond would be crap presenting the F1. Utterly crap.

Still, we get The Chain by Fleetwood Mac back!! It should be good to have F1 without adverts/constant cock-sucking of Lewis Hamilton.

[Katsuya]

Kubica looks on course to win a race this year - he's easily been in second the past two races and it just went bad for him in Melbourne; all he needs is someone to make a mistake at the front or BMW to have a good race (they're strong in Canada...maybe not Kubica, but Heidfeld quick last year).

[KoA]

Hammond hosting F1 sounds pretty good to me but that's probably because I love Top Gear, he is an excellent presenter though, and DC on commentary would be awesome. That, and no Steve Ryder. He should've stuck to horse racing in the first place. At least I think he did horse racing before. Meh, he bores the crap out of me anyway.

On another note, I'd really love to see Jenson Button do well this year. I don't think it'll happen, as Honda don't have a fast enough car, but I'd really love to see Jenson pick up a few podiums this year. Highly unlikely yes, but still.

[Gazz]

Max Mosley (President of the FIA) = 'Orgy in a Nazi-style torture dungeon'

Tasty.

[KoA]

I have to agree with Bernie Ecclestone, it'd be wise for Mosley to stay at home. I don't know if I believe this though because the News of the World have released a few articles like this (see Paul Jewell and another football personality, I forget who), and all odly by the same writer, though I don't think that has anything to do with it.

[Katsuya]

I think the fact they have video proof might make this one a little different.

Merceded and BMW have come out all guns blazing at Mosley now too. Looks like someone's not getting re-elected...

[KoA]

Yeah, if you read the Paul Jewell one it says there's video proof of that, I doubt its true.

How I wish that the sport wouldn't be over shadowed by the politics behind it though. The Spying Scandal last season now this. Hopefully this'll all get cleared up soon though.

This is nothing to do with F1.

It's the FIA, which is the governing body of all motorsports - so it's unfair to say this overshadows F1 anymore than any other motorsport.

[KoA]

The FIA governs all motorsports? I'm going to sound majorly stupid here, but I honestly didn't know that.

Anyway, look to have a good, very interesting race on our hands. I just hope the live feed on the ITV website stops breaking up.

[GA!]

Whoops for Hamilton.

EDIT: And hooray for Martin and his Top Gear references!

The constant Hamilton love-in really pisses me off. Is it necessary to mention that he has a fear of sharks while talking about Alonso's car?

[Zaz]

So there is the slight possibility I could be going to the Italian Grand Prix (in September-ish?)

Went to the one in Melbourne last year which was pretty awesome. This one's a bit further from home though and will be the first time I've gone overseas even >_<

I'm hoping the BBC are a lot less bias. Anthony Davidson needs some lovin' too!
