owned everyone again.
Ferrari's F2005 is apparently not quite ready for prime time.
Toyota is kicking ass as well... lots of good racing this year. :icon14:
that fight between de la rosa and webber toward the end was quite fun.
nice to see people going at eachother for once, F1 is starting to make a comeback.
i still hate that fucking tire rule though... thats just foolish.
they should at least get 2 sets for the race, its just unsafe to make these guys drive on one set in 50°C weather for 50+ laps.
it really becomes silly when you see like @ sepang, when rubenho had to retire simply because his tires had gone bald.
the rule nazi FIA is really starting to get in the way of the racing.

at any rate... well done renault, they certainly have their shit toegher. :icon14:

It's nice to see Renault winning this year, makes the F1 a bit more interesting than the past few years. I still can't be arsed to watch it, saw a few minutes of Bahrein, didn't see any public, not a lot of atmosphere. The whole F1 circus has become very boring to me. Not really much action if there's no take-over or accident.

World Rally is more adrenaline, shame it doesn't get much coverage here in Holland

Yeah Rally racing is defninitely entertaining to watch. I also watched these rednecks race last night that was kinda funny.

They strapped a bunch of house appliances to a car, 3 appliances (washers, dryers), and raced them around the track without losing any of em.

It was mildly entertaining... I love F1 too though but I think their new laws are pretty fucking stupid.

F1 looks to get a bit more interesting this season. The new rules seems a tad too restrictive though.

yeah, that racetrack in bahrain is ugly as fuck... its so visually boring.
desert, desert, desert *pop* where the fuck did this race track come from??
hell, even on the airial shots you can't even see a city anywhere on the horizon... just more sand.
