I was giving him the benefit of the doubt all season, but that Federer comment was useless. Dope.

Itssoeasy

Ah Jaysus Martin don't get jenson crying.

CFlat

Federer has just been introduced to F1 and he's already more clued in then Steve Jones.

It's a beautiful day there all right, but it's not as if they get much Weather in those parts. I've been to Dubai (just up the road) in August and December, and believe me, you probably want to avoid the August ... :cool:

heard august is beyond terrible

What happens if Ham crashes out in the first lap, apart from the obvious? Will Rosberg coast around for an hour and a half, pull over and have a smoke, start texting everyone? He's hardly going to be under any pressure.

Also, is 12.40 to early to start drinking?

I'll watch the build up on sky and switch to channel 4 for the start ... No eddie Jordan on sky which is a shame. That Simon lad I don't like ... Jones is easier to listen too.

Jordan 199

Was nice to see Mika Hakkinen and Gerhard Berger on the grid.

That fly-by was pretty cool

Let's just say that it's a good thing they have all that oil to power all that air-conditioning. You go from air-conditioned house to air-conditioned car to air-conditioned office or shopping mall, and back again. I made a point of going for a long walk one day, and it was actually great because I was prepared: covered up, plenty of water, etc.

I'm watching C4, and they haven't said much about tyre strategy yet. Everyone on a 2-stop strategy?

Prediction: Hamilton will not have a great start, and will be P2 or lower by the first corner.

I always love the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - come on Rosberg

jonbravo

I'd say three stops depending on right front for all but safety car might make it one for some... My long shot for the win is massa

Suffering the unholiest hangover. Not sure I can handle all the tension

Itssoeasy

Jesus I don't know about the rest of ye but I'm nervous. Come on nico. I'm going for nico because while both he and Lewis are very talented racing drivers, nico seems a nicer person.

Jordan 199

Ricciardo to lead into T1. You heard it here first

kopite386

Is it a 2 stop strategy ?

Haha, same here. Think I'll have a beer. C'mon Nico!

Cmon Hamilton, want him to win it.

But Rosberg will win the championship today.

Crisps, Biscuits and drink all ready to go.

Please don't have a shunt at the first corner.

Absolutely not. It's the legendary Canadian band I was referring to. Grace Under Pressure is one of their many fine fine albums.

It was his fault yes. Could see him trying similar with the Haas. Still should be good craic to watch him fight back
