Fcuk me Maldonado is getting a bit giddy isn't he. :grin:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/18053650

One win and he thinks he can be world champion. :confused: I don't think he is THAT good a driver

A little over optimistic I feel, bless him!
 Mind you, 5 winners from 5 races and still no idea which team/driver is going to make a break for it and pull out a lead. Let's hope its as close as the Premier Leauge title and goes all the way.

To be fair though, if you ask any driver in F1 they should all say they can be world champion, why else would they be there :laugh: At the moment I cant put my finger on any specific driver/team and say its gonna be them this year. I will say though I don't think its gonna be a silver, blue or red car this year :wink:

I bet if you asked Karthikeyan that he wouldn't say so.


In fact scrap that he probably would :grin:

What, Kimi/lotus then?
Can see him winning a race or two but think Lotus will get swallowed up later by the big boys in R&D department and them pulling away later on in the season.

Not Lotus in particular, however I do believe they have a very strong chance this year once they have found their feet at the top end of the grid.  :happy2:

A TRULY SPORTING GESTURE:

Following fire damage to Williams Team equipment at the last race, many of the other teams have got together and contributed what's needed so that Williams can race this weekend at Monaco.

^^^^
I can't help wondering what the comments would be if Williams then won the race!  :evilgrin: [written before I saw Andrew's post]

But such a gesture trumps the cynical critics who claim that F1 is only about the money.

Practice 1 red flagged because Heiki has just filled the tunnel with smoke after a spectacular engine blowout. Haven't seen one of those for a while!

What are McLaren doing? :stupid:

Its as if they are trying to force Hamilton to go elsewhere. Yet again a slow pit stop (1.1 secs slower than Vettel and 0.6 Secs slower than Alonso) has cost Hamilton points.

Jenson was nowhere too.

In fairness Rich I think I'd moan if the team were costing me points through stupid errors/decisions
