For those that will be interested, I just saw the first race of the new ChampCar season live, and it was absolutely chaotic. The new car is unreliable (only 8 cars finished and most retired with mechanical failiures) and the fuel rig only works half the time, but it looks promesing.
Oh, and Will Power won from Doornbos and Tracy. |

It's almost time for the next race already?
Bahrain is an interesting track, not one of my favorites but not bad.
If I was going to bet money...I'd put it on that kid Hamilton.
I mean finishes of 3rd, 2nd, he HAS to win this race.
 Besides, he's clearly a good talent, in a good car. All coming from a guy that never heard of him until a few weeks ago...

For me, it'll be a copy of the last one, with Massa doing the pole and Kimi or Alonso (or maybe Hamilton) winning.
BTW, do you know that Brazilian journalists and other F1 Circus people call Hamilton as "Robinho" and he seems to like this nickname.

So Robinho?
I didn`t follow the first Champ Car race, honestly i forgot it but i will try to see the next race, Power winning wasn`t a surprise for me, the alarming thing is what you said about the new car if only 8 cars finished in the first race... then the season will be pretty similar i think.
About F-1, i am expecting the Bahrain race i am also pleased with Hamilton and would love to see him winning, but i think he will have to wait until some more races, this time i foresee Alonso winning again.

Here's the free practice times from today at Bahrain:
1. RAIKKONEN Ferrari 1m33.527s 2. HAMILTON McLaren 1m33.540s 3. KUBICA BMW 1m33.732s 4. MASSA Ferrari 1m33.772s 5. ALONSO McLaren 1m33.784s 6. WURZ Williams 1m33.973s 7. HEIDFELD BMW 1m34.076s 8. ROSBERG Williams 1m34.189s 9. COULTHARD Red Bull 1m34.359s 10. TRULLI Toyota 1m34.366s 11. BARRICHELLO Honda 1m34.391s 12. KOVALAINEN Renault 1m34.585s 13. DAVIDSON Super Aguri 1m34.595s 14. WEBBER Red Bull 1m34.677s 15. FISICHELLA Renault 1m34.796s 16. SATO Super Aguri 1m35.001s 17. LIUZZI Toro Rosso 1m35.268s 18. SCHUMACHER Toyota 1m35.427s 19. SUTIL Spyker 1m35.582s 20. SPEED Toro Rosso 1m35.687s 21. ALBERS Spyker 1m35.835s 22. BUTTON Honda 1m36.079s BMW and Williams seem to be getting close on one lap pace but I wonder how they'll do in the races. Bahrain is not one of my favourit races, te cars are boreing to watch around there on their own but they do race well. Memo, the next CC race is at Long Beach this weekend, lets hope the reliability has picked up. Guigo, were did the name Robinho come from? Edited by sleeper - April 13 2007 at 18:59 |

Yea, Bahrain wasn't the most exciting, not too bad I'm missing this race I guess.
There's Hamilton.....waiting to strike!

Massa!
Memowakeman, that is cold.
I bet he'll make through lap 1....
He may be good, just no match for Kimi or Fernando.
edit: or Hamilton. Edited by JJLehto - April 14 2007 at 13:54 |

@Sleeper: I think the nickname "Robinho" came from the Real Madrid football player, since they have both African ancestors, are young and playful and are thin and smiley. Probably Hamilton, like many other F1 drivers, must be a footie fan too.

Whoa! I looked at my profile and decided to click see my reviews, and my avatar became HUGE, and I remembered what it was exactly.

 What happened! Big congrats to Massa. And my prediction of Hamilton also was incorrect.... Is that a 3 way tie for the lead?

That was a great race, well done to Massa, Hamilton's final stint however was stunning I didn't think the hard tyres could be that fast.

No doubt, maybe one day many many years in the future, Hamilton will become the 8 time champion.
Alonso will have 10 though
