It's sad to see another private company leave. Super Aguri was doing so well last year too. Out qualified and race Honda most of the time.

I wonder if Takuma Sato is going to be able to stay in F1.

I was disappointed to see them go myself. The more cars on track the better for the sport.
They had some good races last year... Montreal was epic.
As far as Sato, he had to go anyways. He had moments of brilliance, but mostly his career was plagued by stupid mistakes. He may find work as a test driver if he's lucky. Also, lastyear the ran the 2006 Honda which was way faster then the 2007. This year they were suck with last years Honda, easily the biggest turd on the grid. They would have never scored any points this season.

Super Aguri will be missed, but Sato will not.

After watching quali this morning I think the race should be fairly close between the top four. Now we just have to see who's stopping first...


Go Kimi!

^Really, you think the race was great. I thought it was boring. Hamiltons pit strategy made it kind of interesting... I like to see more battling through the mid-pack though. It was still a good result for my team of choice in the end so I'm happy.

Kovalainen was fun to watch, but besides that the race didn't have to much action. But as long as i see the Ferraris up front all it good!

^ yes we will...

Aren't you a McLaren fan?
Those cars have been super slow in the low-speed stuff all year. I this race is going to be totally different from last year. The Ferrari's have way more mechanical grip in the F2008 than the F2007. Where as McLaren seem to have lost the edge they had before. All you have to do is look at the last 2 races, in both Barcelona and Turkey, the McLarens were way slower in the final sector. My claim, you won't even see a McLaren on the podium in Monaco it will be both Ferrari's and a BMW.

I'm not very happy with the outcome of this one, but you can't win them all. These cars in the rain are completely crazy... Did you see the shifts light's on the steering wheels? Sheer insanity!
