h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

So, an interesting season in prospect - new teams, new drivers, new rules and the return of one particular old face!

What should we talk about first?

Rumours are that Red Bull have the best car and their 2 drivers don't have an axe to grind with eachother.

For Handbags at Dawn and Dummy Spitting all eyes will be on McLaren and Ferrari

And Force India may be the 'Bloody Hell!!!!' team of the year

and a somewhat interesting rear wing on the MP4-25


oh hello again everyone by the way

*waves to everyone*

Haven't quite got to grips with (a) seeing "M Schumacher" on the captions again, and (b) seeing those captions associated with a silver car instead of a red one.

Well, I bought a bag of popping corn today because I think I'm gonna need it for this season's drama!

Haha! Schumacher's wearing a red helmet. Apparently, Ferrari aren't too happy...

Firrari are never happy, and there drivers are miserable as well.

Go on the vettell. But I doubt his boots will last very long.

Vettel was oner of my preditctions for Future World Champion, I don't want to break my 15 year old record now

Sigh....

Great to have F1 back but I am disappointed that it seems like there is going to be very little overtaking.

Well that was a big disappointment.

And Jonathon Legard is seriously getting on my and it's only the first race

If anyone is interested my blog on the F1 http://goo.gl/4E8G (after the boxing stuff).

Just watched the race on tape. Fast forwarded most of it. That was dull. The Green Zone was much better.

Hopefully it won't take the others to catch up to the red cars. Otherwise mr moany cry baby is going to walk it.

Not if Felipe has anything to do with it, he was top dog last year, he's not going to let Alonso have it all his own way

I think I'll oder in extra for the drama at Ferrari this year

Well, the Australian Grand Prix was a big improvement. Part of that was down to the rain, of course, but I think that a greater competitive streak in the drivers this time around helped too.

Can't help but think Sebastian Vettel needs to avoid the black cat that must have crossed his path before the last two races, though.

Ah, so Schumacher is a shapeshifter and jinxes the other drivers when he's not putting sugar in the petrol tanks?

So, regarding the Vettel-Webber erm "incident" who does everyone think was in the wrong? Apparently, they're both blaming each other.

There's a video which shows the incident here:

I think it was probably Vettel's fault. He went for the overtake and then veers into Webber, presumably thinking he'd managed to get past him.

I think Christian Horner should put them in a room and lock the door, then see what happens

It's perfectly clear to me that Vettel hit Webber and not the other way around. The fact that Red Bull were so quick to blame Webber speaks volumes.

It's a case of Red Bull's 2010 season has gone seriously awry, in their plan Vettel was supposed to be leading at this point and Webber was supposed to be the number 2 driver. Horner's made a right prat of himself saying "all drivers are equal" when the world knows only too well that some are more equal than others and they're all in damage limitation

>I think Christian Horner should put them in a room and lock the door, then see what happens

Is that the sound of slash-fic writers tapping at their keyboards I hear?
