I'm hoping for another 2010 championship. With different outcome, of course.

Not really, they're a given, and right now they seem to be struggling.

Not pointless, just not particularly likely to end up being right.
yeah no this will be like 2010 i wish. With 3 teams battling it out for the championship.
instead of ferrari it will be mercedes fighting the bull and silver bullet.
i dont think so, it was because of driver error they failed to make the podium or near the podium last race.
i really think they can be fighting for podiums and wins.

Schumacher looked no-where near as quick as Vettel and Rosberg was pretty well down the order.
Don't mistake quali pace for race pace.
Ferrari made podiums last year, that doesn't make it a 3 horse race for the title.
Challenging for the title is something different than keeping up with the front runners.
Jerk on suicide watch. All going wrong for Kimi so far.
i still dont think ferrari will be challenging for the title this year. Mercedes might though.
I still think it will either be mclaren or red bull this year.
weird thing is the champions the last few years were always renault or mercedes powered teams.
f1racemanager is tricky for the next race with rain.
i fear all the rookie drivers will crash
i got shumi and pedro.
hope shumi will make me some points
No
I meant that Ferrari also was able to get a podium here and there last year, but that didn't make them title contentders. It's going to be exactly the same with Mercedes this year.
A broken gearbox is driver error
How so?
I thought that, but Perez got a penalty for the same reason last race. So I guess they removed this.

It was Omiee who implied it. operon is being sarcastic.

The ducting (if it's real) has to be below/beneath that carbon plate, right?
My mistake, quickly skimmed through to catch up. Same question to Omiee then.
:/ Better than him flatspotting a tire and having the suspension explode in his face, I guess. (no I'm not bitter. at all.)
I still think he can put together a great result this weekend, that Lotus looks like it's in a battle with Merc for third best car on the grid. Feels like the Merc is ahead on pure single lap pace, but seems tough on it's rears. Excited for quali though!

You said if its a wet race all the way through
..EDIT: once any driver puts on slicks deal is off? sounds fair right?

Oh you meant if it's the wet the entire race? Fair enough, I thought you meant if the race started wet.
However, that's still candy from a baby.
Don't stop raining then Malaysia! Can't wait to see Kimi hit the wall and cry because he's not Webber.

I'm going for as many williams as possible. I think they're vastly undervalued in F1racemanager. They might not make points but if they're faster than Force India and STR then a rapid climb in their value is a good move for later purchases of top teams and drivers.
Or they could crash out every race and I'd be screwed.
yeah it seems like a logical move, but i'm super worried both will crash out on sunday
hey Richie Rich, how about you tell us what's good?

I'd love one, too, but I just don't think the logistics are there.
The two best independent open wheel teams are Ganassi (has his hands full with IndyCar, NASCAR and endurance racing right now) and Penske (been there, done that, decided to stick with IndyCar). Manufacturer wise, you have Ford (former owners who backed out and sold the team that eventually became Red Bull), General Motors (no interest, apparently) and Chrysler (another Fiat team on the grid? Probably not).
I'm just not sure where we'd get a team from and who'd support it.

GP2 quali is pretty dull. Doesn't help there's only one commentator with no banter.
