Hopefully we can see a Ferrari win for a change...

Or McLaren

Think the odds of a Springbok win in NZ is better to be honest.

Going to be pounding tarmac for 42km this Sunday but should hopefully be done (and still alive!) by the time it starts. Hopefully Ferrari can draw on their performance here last year.

Alonso felt top 5 is a possibility at this track, can't remember where I read it, will post it when I find it.

That would be epic

EDIT:
Okay, he said Austin and Abhu Dhabi and not Singapore.

So Bernie Decided to blabber more

Formula 1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone has named Alain Prost as the greatest F1 driver of all time.

Having built the sport over several decades, and with his motor racing involvement stretching all the way back to the late 40s, the 85-year-old's opinion carries a great deal of weight.

So does he nominate Fangio, Senna or Schumacher?

"Better than Schumacher or Senna"

"It's hard to say," the Spanish sports daily Marca quotes the Briton as saying, "but if I had to choose one over the years, I would probably say Prost.

"He was better than Schumacher or Senna. Michael had a lot of help from the team or teammates, and at some points it was the same with Senna.

Ecclestone said: "But Prost never had such privileges. He always had competitors even within his own team."

But while Ecclestone named Prost the best, he said Jochen Rindt was his personal favourite.

The Briton said: "We were very close, as colleagues and friends, he is definitely my favourite, but not the best of all time. That's Prost."

Bernie becoming as senile as Niki.

Rosberg joins the 200 club today. Shame. Hamilton and Vettel are behind yet have silverware to show.

Couple of guys running the Halo device. Hamilton, Alonso and Hulkenberg.

It would have done nothing for Massa but likely would have saved Bianchi and María de Villota.

Maybe not even Bianchi. I reckon the speed he hit that crane would've shattered the Halo like a toothpick.

Looks like Alonso is not running it. Must've heard wrong.
