Loving the season so far

Anyone know the last time the first five races of a season had five different winners?

1983 I think .. Great season too.

Too long ago.

It's good to have a little bit more parity in the sport.

Not Formula 1 (MotoGP is far more exciting IMO) but big news in the world of motorsport as it involves one of the greatest ever retiring at 26

Casey Stoner: the no-nonsense champion who has always done things his way

On the same note, Rossi and Stoner just had a brilliant head-to-head battle at Le Mans. Wonderful race, I was a nervous wreck but Rossi pulled through, I was off the couch celebrating.

rossi won it... when i last watched may be some 10 lap remaining Lorenzo was way ahead of both stoner and rossi !!!

 

[Johnners]

Nah Rossi didn't win, Jager's referring only to the Rossi/Stoner battle where Valentino finally got past Stoner on the last lap to claim 2nd. Lorenzo won it by 8/9 seconds.

Turning out to be a fantastic season this.. 6 races 6 winners

Yeah but Monaco is such a rubbish track as it is virtually impossible to overtake

Dont get me wrong, I like looking at the girls, boats, water & scenery as much as the next guy but if this track was anywhere else, they'd dig it up

 

[Johnners]

AWTA, it's more a procession than a race. Shame it didn't rain as it might have spiced things up a bit

Not F1, but a massive crash at LeMans over the weekend. Davidson is lucky he's only got a broken back.

Can't believe there are people knocking Monaco here, wonderful venue and has the same historical importance as Silverstone, although the track has mostly retained its old character. Superb drive from Mark today, great to see him take P1. Massa was impressive too! Really happy to see him in P4.

Magnificent use of strategy to get to P2 from Raikkonen in Hungary, the Lotus is looking bloody quick in warm conditions. Hamilton overall just too good throughout the weekend, flawless qualifying and consistent pace throughout the whole race. Interesting championship so far and we're only halfway through!

 

[Pothas]

Kimi to win at Spa.

Alonso maximising his result as always though.

 

[Jager]

Alonso is a magician, really. He's perhaps not as dazzlingly fast as Hamilton at times, maybe not as brilliant in the wet as Schumacher in his pomp, but he's startlingly consistent and definitely the driver I'd take first if I was starting my own team

 

[Furball]

Alonso's in a class of one out of the current grid.

I'd actually put Hamilton 2nd of the current lot; I think he's been immense this season.

Raikkonen is also a fantastic driver

Only a couple of others have the ability to get as much out of the Lotus this year
