Formula 1 this year is all about tires and pit stop strategy.

The next race is this Sunday in Monza, Italy and it's very exciting with Ferrari and Mclaren drivers competing against each other.

Here the link to the official website: http://www.formula1.com/

Monza reminds us of Airton Cena, the best Formula 1 driver in his time.

I missed the race! :(
What makes it sadder is that Alonso won and Massa's out. Oh dear!
On the other hand, Räikkönen did get the third, so that's quite consoling! :D

Was MLaren too good this year to be true?

Foxnews: "The McLaren team was fined US$100 million and stripped of all of its points in the constructors' standings Thursday in the spy scandal that has rocked the sport."

"Under Thursday's ruling, McLaren loses all its constructors' points and is ineligible from scoring any more in the final races of the season."

So, there will be a twist in the contructors's championship! Will Mclaren survive?

The F1 Belgium qualifying is about to start in 30 min. and hopefully it will be shown on TV. The qualifying session is very exciting till the last second! :gen_sm2:

Usually whoever gets P1 in the qualifying, has the chance to be the winner on race day.

i'm also a f1 fan.

quite surprised that alonso didn't dominate last year as expected with the retirement of schumi. i expect lewis hamilton to do well again.

can't wait for this year's f1 races.

ME, TOO!!! I am so crazy about F1!!! :thatsit:

I'm not an Alonso fan, though. ^^ Hamilton was just phenomenal last year! I really didn't expect a rookie to do THAT well! So, I like him, Raikkonen, and Masa! :yey:
