Things are off to a rocky start in testing. Ferrari's car caught fire and there are some gear box issues, while Hamilton's car had brake failure, causing a minor crash into the barrier, he wasn't hurt though.

And some really sad news today, David Coulthard's 35 year old sister has died at home of what appears to be a heart attack.

As for racing comment about mark and seb, it's not racing when the team tells both drivers to slow down and bring it home safely but only one driver listens and turns it down while the other skips pasts you. I think Mark should have blocked seb and drove him off the line when he had the chance. Even the team said seb was being "silly".
Even if there weren't team orders... there'd still be team orders that's the nature of a championship that pays out $$ on manufacturer standings.

Now as for the red bulls, they both were told to race each other until they got to the last stop at which point if the both of them were ahead of everyone then they would hold position and bring the cars home safely to avoid repeat of Turkey 2010 and to save the life of the engines. So with that in mind, Mark and Seb were both told to turn their engine mapping down to Monty 21. Mark turned it down but Seb decided that he didn't want to turn it down and obey the agreement that they made. Is Seb a faster driver? Yes most of the time, should he get punished by the team? I don't give a rats ass. Should he have run better stints early in the race to pass Mark yes, should he have passed mark instead of complaining about his "slowness"? Yes.
I say this with full knowledge that Seb complained about Mark slowing him down earlier in the race and was told, it's a long race seb keep calm still a ways to go. So I can understand his gripe to a point.
Feel bad for Webber, and for Rosberg. I need to go catch up on the post race news now, other than already hearing about Webber's penalty for Bahrain.
Webber gets a 3 place penalty in Bahrain for his crash with Vergne.
Gutierrez gets a 5 place penalty in Bahrain for crashing into Sutil.

Sir Stirling Moss says he is "not surprised" there are no women drivers in Formula One [guardian.co.uk] as he believes they do not have the mental strength to compete.
The 83-year-old added that, while women have the physical strength, he does not think they have the mental ability to cope with wheel-to-wheel racing.

A spokeswoman said the decision was made after last month's Malaysian Grand Prix, where the track is similar in characteristics to Bahrain, to bring the hard and medium compounds rather than hard and soft.

Fernando ran a truely strong race and glad to see he's got a car to bring home the WDC, WCC this year. I'll be waiting to see Vettel's 2nd finger up in the air saying, "damn, damn damn" instead of his annoying yes yes yes. Kimi stepped into Lotus at the right time and he's driving really well. Damn Kimster should have never left F1 to begin with. Same goes for Kubica's extra credit attempt that got him hurt.
I haven't paid much attention to the back but is Vergn or Bianchi showing any signs of promise? I hear the bbc guy talking about Bianchi doing much better than his teammate or something.

what is up with old men who dont know to shut up or act accordingly? The exposure to english folks from F1 are killing the rep of the Brits.
Ron Dennis = yikes so many quotes to choose from
Max Mosley = double yikes ...

at least the podium announcer reminded them not to swear

It was worse than that, he said...
I'm not sure I can show those things, I don't lift my legs as high as a woman does.
