^Who's on pole?

I loved the end to that GP, that was real pressure for Vettel to deal with and since this is definitely a Red Bull track it bodes very well for future races.

Just caught the replay of the Spanish GP.
Pretty decent race, weren't many battles but strategically it was a great fight between Vettel and Hamilton.
Of course the last 10 or so laps were great, with Vettel not having full/consistent KERS use but managed to hold off Hami. Great physical cap off to a strategic race!

Also, after the amazing start he had I thought my boy Alonso and Ferrari may have turned a corner but as the race proved, Ferrari is still off the pace. Maybe they are not bad the fact Alonso finished 5th and got lapped shows how strong Red Bull and McLaren are right now. Crazy!

Congrats to the German sandwich of Schumi, Rosberg and Heidfeld who worked from dead last to 8th place. Also to the Saubers for rounding out the points.

Bump Day was insane!  Marco was out as the gun was fired to end qualifying and he was able to pull off a pretty quick average, which then bumped his teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay out of the race.  Alex Lloyd really made the last 10 minutes nerve racking to watch.

Can't forget the Coke 600 after Indy!  That day is always special for me, having 3 of the world's biggest races all in the same day.  As a race fan, it doesn't get any better.

Yes, sir the granddaddy of them all.
I almost never watch NASCAR now but that is one of the few I will catch.

Alonso did have one epic start. Shame the Ferrari just can't hold up this year. Monaco does negate a lot of advantage though, maybe he can pull one out!

And finally, the big weekend is almost here. Tops is Monaco, and of course Indy but I may actually watch the 600 this year as well!

Feel sorry for Bruno Junquera, gets his AJ Foyat Enterprises car into the 500, then his team boss and Andretti do a deal to take him out of the car and put RHR in instead, it happened to him in 09 as well.

I recognized that name, Grosjean.
He was given the seat after pretty much one race when it was decided Piquet was terrible.
Funny, look how great he worked out in that bad ride!


Least Piquet got a good shot at Flav. That whole situation pissed me off.
