Well done to Daniel Ricciardo for his second place in the first grand prix of the season and for being the first Australian on the podium at an Australian F1 Grand Prix.

F1 cars spread a deadly chemical trail, backed by the elites.

::)

Too bad about the DQ Riccardo.

And the cars sound like poo.

Who came up with such a stupid rule? It's a race .... now they need to worry about fuel flow?

WHy do they let bureaucrats get involved with sports? There isn't a single sport they won't stuff up

gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

this racing is silly anyway.
the cars are totally impractical, they race around a track to get back to where they started from the quickest.
how not just stay there in the first place ?

they are really thirsty cars that last only a very short time.
A yaris is better.

I was ticked off when I found out he was stripped of his second placing. Not a good omen for the rest of the year.

As far as the cars are concerned I don't like the turbos. I prefer the naturally aspirated V8s and V10s.

this is bullshit...

he should be given back his place...

the fuel meter was found to be defective on the Friday... then they tried another one on Saturday but was dodgy as well..

so then...

they told them to go back to the fuel meter they had on the "Friday" .. say what?

they metered their fuel straight out of the injector.. and it was RIGHT..

im not happy... not one bit... >:(

on a more positive note.. vettal retired.. ;D

Racing is science!

Warfare requires speed and related reinforcements!!
