La course devrait être interessante, ou moins soporifique, c'est comme on veut.
A noter, les contre-performances de Hamilton et de Massa qui accusent un retard supérieur à la demi-seconde par rapport à leur coéquipier respectif.
A noter aussi que cette fois, les RB sont un cran au dessus de tout le monde et Webber, même s'il n'a pas pu prendre la pole, a montré une aisance incroyable.

that on board looks great...when you see that speed thru the corners, acceleration and even braking power )he nearly don´t have fingers fast enough to downshift fast enough )....it looks like it is virual not real

...but this is not atractive for me when I realize that this cars are simply not made for racing...these cars are for time trials...now when I look on some race in TV it is only about lap times...and commentators are very excited when someone is 0.5sec faster then some other driver...bud do we really want this? Don´t we want overtaking, driver mistakes, real champions who win because it is tought to drive these beasts but he know it (in fact that cars are easier to drive then lower category open wheels)?

I am sorry...but last few year I am really disapointed about highest motorracing level...

I couldn't agree more . Real racing is dead and will never come back. Only historic racing gives a glimpse of what it used to be... and HSO of course helps you travel back in time too .

La météo annonce de la pluie pour la course, ça devrait rendre la course moins soporifique

"only" one from row of reasons why I am here...I never race in league where organisation was on same or higher level - I admire all admins here, great work! Great series here including GPL and GTP...this season I am only in F1 79, but GPL and GTP are very near to my heart and of course drivers here...gentlemans, I am NOT in stress when I am near other car on track because I know that drivers behave very well here...in fact I am more affraid of myself then other drivers

That Renault is the hottest car I've seen during the last years. Livery is awesome I just wish it was able to overtake some cars or was able to be overtaken lol

I believe there is a chance of rain tomorrow and if that would be the case race should be interesting. Otherwise, you can happily stay in your warm beds instead of watching the famous train ride.

there is one thing I love on nowadays formula one racing...I never sleep during the day...only at night...and...not much...so when F1 is in TV I saw start..then few laps and finaly I fall asleep...and what is better than a short sleep after good lunch????

merci pour l'info Vincent

F1 is crap nowadays yes, no more a driver thing, just a geeky engineers challenge. But at least those new regulations show to everybody there is a big problem with the cars. It has been the case for about 10 years now, but nobody wanted to see it because teams were using pitstops to overtake and everybody thought thats because they dont want to take any risks on track. But that's wrong, drivers will always be racers, if they say they can't overtake, that's true, and there is something completly wrong in the sport.

I really wonder how somebody who doesn't know F1 could become a fan of this sport today, ugly cars, stupid tracks in stupid venues, no racing at all ...

But there are still some pretty cool racing series nowadays, GP2, Indycar, V8 Supercars, ALMS was awesome 2-3 years ago, i'm a big fan of Superbike too, it never fails to provide good racing I don't agree with the poor old Frank, racing isn't dead

The main problem with the F1's is that they're too much aerodynamic dependent, and they really should ban the carbon brakes...


I really do hope they include the Portimão track one day. That track really kicks ass

Superbikes are at Portimao this weekend you should have bought your ticket

I didn't.... Will be busy tomorrow

Portimao indeed is a great track, much like Istanbul Park. Le Mans Series were fun last year @ Portimao.

Just a little lap for those who don't know the Portimão's roller coaster

Yes nice layout with lots of elevation changes, but way too much run off areas to make it a challenging track imo.

The modern safety issues

Can't wait for the Race tonight..Will the Red Bulls finish the race?Will it rain?A 1:23.9..friggin' fast!

quelle course un vraie régal,l'esprit F79 est de retour HOURRA!!!!!!!

Which chases real one delight, the spirit F79 is back HOURRA!!!!!!!

merci Lafitte et son équipe

Well done to Jenson a faultless race

Très beau GP en effet, merci quand même à la pluie. La plus belle victoire de Button à mon avis.

Le GP de Bahrain est oublié, celui ci fut haletant avec des stratégies où les places se gagnent et se perdent sur la piste et pas dans la pitlane.

La pluie a faussé la course, mais c'est surtout la durée de vie des pneus tendres qui a permis le spectacle.

Bravo à Button

Tres beau grand prix comme quoi pour avoir des courses interressantes il faut bien arroser la piste au moment du départ

The rain had just the effect to cancel the rule that drivers have to take soft and hard tires in the same race. Mix that with a track that always produces good races and you have a good F1 race.
Boredom should be back at Sepang unless it rains again.

Untill yesterday, I largely agreed with all the comments here above. The soul had largely gone out of F1 for some years. I think the last season I more or less enjoyed was 1998 or 1999. Somewhere thereabout.

Yesterday however, was one hell of a race. Just sorry to see that McLaren pulled in Lewis. If they hadn't done so, I think Kubi and Lewis would have been at it for many more laps ... And that was one of the best battles I have seen for quiet some time.

The train behind Massa was also not too dull to watch.

Great race... really enjoyed this one. And way better than Bahrein. And there will be other dull races this season ... but good ones also. I remember watching some races in the early 80's on the parking lot of a casino ... not particularly thrilling neither. And then again, the term "mickey mouse-track" has been invented no later than 1967 ... A mixture of dull and thrilling races is something of all times ... The problem in F1 was that the last years there were almost no thrilling races left. I think that the fact that they have to manage an entire fuel load now may change that.
