**Spoilers**


Raikkonen is not what he used to be. He's probably on his way out.

So sad as before his world title, he was one of the best talents F1 has ever had.

Anyways, Quali was great. Jenson really put that together at the end.

Can't wait for the race! Hope its a good one!

Toyota is threatening to leave F1 also..... :(

I am getting really tired of Max Mosely and these stupid rule changes that they try to shove down the teams throats at the last minute. I think it is really affecting the sport.

LOL @ 2 months.


The crazy thing is that they want this spending cap, but then they say they want all the teams to develop their own KERS system as to create a better system. Talking out of both sides of their mouths if you ask me.

Huge crash at first turn of the World Superbike race in Monza just now. Race to be restarted when they finish clean up.

EJ, in a little bit I will have the superbike race, Formula 1, and Le Mans series at Spa on different channels live all at the same time, and I don't even have cable tv LOL

PLV, Let me just say i hate you for this.

My morning has been shit.

I don't have tv AT ALL in my house so i have to download everything.

Watched Superbike race #1 and WSS race earlier but didn't see the red flag from crash. I did see Spies though. I won't spoil but wow. How unexpected.

And.....after 4 attepts, RU finally posted a terrible quality torrent of the Spanish GP. I just watched it and Button is on a role. Sucks for Rubens though. I wanted this race to be his.

Massa....Does Ferrari seem to be a team that makes more mistakes than what you'd expect from Force India? Really. I'd beg Jean Todt to return if i was Luca.

Overall. Good race but i'm sick of what has been done to the final turn at Catalunya. That double apex right hander used to be the best section of the track but it has been relpaced by a slow no passing chicane. Why? :mad:

Ok....WSBK Race 2 now for me. I'm waiting for the Le Mans series recap so i don't have to download a huge file.
