Glad Alonso had a win. Go Kimmi, keep up the good results!!

Man, remember the days when Williams was a real power house? Wish they were back at the top.

I agree with you on all counts, man. Every sport needs a black hat, and the evil empire in F1 for me is Red Bull Racing.

I may have to pick it up. I played the demo though and I wasn't doing too hot. I'm not really the greatest at racers, but I think I could still have some fun with it.

Advice: Turn on full traction control and anti-lock braking. Use automatic transmission.

You'll find it easier to keep the car on track, but squeezing out good, consistent laps will remain a challenge. Games should test players, but they also should be fun.

Is Red Bull really an evil empire though? I mean usually those types of teams are the ones that you either love or hate. Yankees, Cowboys, Lakers... that type of thing. The only team that could possibly be considered like that in F1 (in my opinion) is Ferrari.

Oriol Servia did a good job locking up and going into the tire barrier. That would have been awful with Dixon just sitting there in the middle of the turn. Yikes.

Yeah, that was crazy. The tires did a nice job keeping Servia's car from getting destroyed too bad, either (sans the front wing, obviously).

Oh... how shocking.

I haven't even touched IndyCar this season. These street circuits are just the worst, and I've never understood the love for parades like Long Beach and St. Petersberg. Time to wake up IndyCar...

As for the race in Bahrain; I'm really starting to like Perez. It's nice to have some excitement on the course to even out the technical Germans.

But I'm sure the open wheel guys don't like the NASCAR ovals, so you can't exactly fill the schedule with those (like it used to be years ago)... not a whole lot of options left. More road courses?

The funny thing is that IndyCar is built for ovals. Hell IndyCar fans fall over themselves for the Indy 500. There does need to be more oval races and races on dedicated road courses. It's embarrassing for the sport to linger without Road America, without Watkins Glen, without Montreal or Austin. It's just as bad that they can't get on some of the great ovals that they used to run like Phoenix and Michigan. I've heard that they've not only ignored real racing venues, but are going back to Houston this year. Houston? Really? They just keep aiming at their feet and pulling the trigger.

Not so exciting at the front once it was obvious Vettel's tires were going to last, but that was some pretty exciting racing from 5th-8th there at the end.

Don't forget fellas to watch the MotoGP race on Speed today. they are racing at COTA today. My money is on the rookie Marc Marquez

Re: F1/IRL/All Other Forms of motorsports Thread

I was knocked out this morning, so I just finished watching this on DVR. I was really hoping something would happen so that Vettel wouldn't win, but the race was his pretty much the whole way. Kimi is pretty serious though. Nice race by him and hopefully he can stay up in the standings and put some pressure on Vettel.

Perez is awesome. I find his wild style pretty entertaining. Dude was driving out there like he just didn't give a damn.

Re: F1/IRL/All Other Forms of motorsports Thread

What I would love to see is Kimmi take Webbers spot at red bull, be a very serious threat to Vettel winning every season. It's already awesome watching him lead Lotus, and what's going with the Ferrarri boys, lol they need to get in the game immediately. 3 long weeks for them

I've got to make it to CotA some day. It was exciting to watch last year with F1 and they seemed to put on a wonderful show.

I don't mean this in an insulting way, but I literally laughed out loud when I read this(not to say that it isn't a very good possibility either). I can just see now 7 laps to go, Kimi in 1st, Vettel in 2nd (and I could see this happening quite frequently) and some poor guy gets on the radio:

Yeah, Hi Kimi
-Please stop talking, I know more about racing than you do
No, but really, Kimi, list
-Seriously, please shut the **** up and leave me alone, I don't care about fuel or tires or whatever you're about to complain about
Actually Kimi, we would like you to let up and let Seb go by and take the win.
-&^%*%)($#*%)$*)^*$)^*$#)^*$#)%*{){%$(#)%$#($*#@ %&

I think Vettel would be in for a rude awakening with someone that good in an equal car as him. I'm fairly certain his championship string would end immediately. Raikkonen is keeping up in the points pretty well for having a slightly above average car.
