    Yup I do...been watching regularly since 1992.

    Ferrari's time will pass eventually, McLaren were unbeatable from 1988 until 1992 until Nigel Mansell and Williams came along. Also it's hard to believe that Ferrari once went almost four years without a win, and only gained 5 for the 3 seasons following that!

    Anyway...as for this year, it looks like Ferrari are looking good again. So far none of the other teams have shone through really, although Montoya's performance at Malaysia makes him seem like he's got the goods. My dark horse for the year would be Jenson Button, he's not championship material but I wouldn't be surprised to see him win a race or two.

    Go Michael, go!

    McLaren's almost dead, and Williams can't keep their drivers in peace. How are they gonna threaten Ferrari?

    I reckon the two biggest threats will be Montoya once he's at McLaren next year and probably Alonso somewhere down the line as well.

    Watching regulary since 1996.

    Total Ferrari domination today, but there was some action behind them. It looks like it's gonna be so for the rest of the season as Williams seems to miss something, and that McLaren's engine is the worst I've seen since 97'.

    A great first race for a stunning new circuit. Shanghai certainly has alot to live up to.

    I'm probably the biggest Michael Schumacher fan out there and he was near perfect today. Ferrari have really built a bullet-proof car haven't they? I'm a fan but I'm still stunned by their reliability.

    The race itself was pretty good, but I'm still finding it hard to digest the situation at McLaren. Just what on earth is going on? Mercedes are in serious denial about their engines and as for West McLaren itself, the car is down on speed and the handling isn't great either. DC is out of there at the end of the year (who's betting on Ralf Schumacher and DC at Toyota next year?) and must be thanking his lucky stars. It's Kimi I feel awful for. JPM must be cursing the day he jumped the gun and signed up to this for next year. Having said that, I'm probably getting ahead of myself because if any team can pull it back, it's McLaren. But it'll be too little too late, at least for this year.


    BAR are really pulling their socks up so far this season haven't they? I've got a feeling though, that this is as good as it's gonna get for them this season, Jenson's getting a bit cocky and we all know pride comes before a fall. I'm more impressed with Sato to be honest, boy has he cleaned up his driving from his first try at F1!

    I'm big M. Schumacher and Ferrari fan since 1997. My father supports McLaren and I always make fun of him :p

    In fact, after Mika Hakkinen's retiral, Schumacher and Ferrari has no real rival. McLaren declines and Williams still need to improve.
