I just hope RB picks up the pace soon. I wouldnt want another second seat wasted the whole season like last year. Give Ant a chance. Whats the worse that could happen? He might score 1 point the whole year? This year there are no excuses why Ruben shouldnt finish outside the points. Jenson is constantly in the top 5 every race fighting for Pole and race wins while Ruben dukes it out with MF1 and Toyota! Whats up with that?

I am upset as my VCR malfunctioned when I set it up to tape the race last night. This evenining when I sat down to watch the race all I had was blank tape! 
From where I sit it will be interesting to follow Scott Speed as the only American curruently in F1.

Star of the Race..... SATO?
Did they watch the race? He nearly took out Luizzi and Barichello, not to mention he NEVER passed another vehical. Every other car out there below him in the standings was broken.
It was a fairly interesting race from a failure's standpoint. Boring from the "We're renault, we have a surperior machine" standpoint. In terms of Scott Speed, I could care less. After watching the interviews with him, the photos shot of him, and the general opinions of him he might as well be the next JPM with more of a "I'm a punk" attitude.

when will the fia start its investigation into renaults fantastic launch program? that thing has to be illegal and has been for several seasons. nasa should look at it also. i couldn't belive it, alonso blasted up to 3rd.

The FIA has looked into the Renault's start up several times, and the only thing they come away with is the team knows what they are doing and there is nothing illegal with their technology.

I'm extremely extremely dissapointed in RB. He had all of winter testing to get familiar with the car and given his vast experience, he SHOULD be up to speed by now on how the Honda handles etc.
At this point, i don't see him making that much of an improvement but i could be wrong. After viewing the lap chart, he was doing 1;37-1;38's per lap. That's a good 2 seconds off the pace of Button in the same machinery.
If he needs time to still learn the car, put him as a test driver and let him do as many laps as he wants on fridays and give Davidson a chance. I'm sick of these 2nd Honda/BAR drivers being crap!

Nabeel - if he is not lapping within tenths of a second of JB next race - he will have a lot of explaining to do to his team...
