The tire comment was straight from McLaren International. And since he was pushing on the ultra softs, I believe that graining could have been an issue for him more than others.

I just got back from Montreal, what a blast! I am not sure which was more exciting, the convoy up or watching the race.

Default Formula 1 - 2008 (spoilers)

Just some stuff to get you excited about the upcoming season. Only a few more weeks...

1) Check out the three minute summary at http://www.formula1.com

2) Drool while watching the following videos. Very interesting perspectives on how hard it is to drive an F1 machine.

Chris Harris drives an F1 car - part 1

Chris Harris drives an F1 car - part 2

Chris Harris drives an F1 car - part 3

Richard Hammond of Top Gear drives an F1 car.

Go Massa!!

Thanks. That was a rush, but what I'm really looking forward to is Sebring and the start of the ALMS season!

Thank god. In a little over a day, the season begins and this weekend is the 12 hours. Sorry guy, I know several people at Joest so I will be waiving my Audi flag. (secretly hoping that Rob will beat Roger in P2)

I'm interested in seeing how Bourdais will do.

Heiki and Kimi.

I expect to see things out of Williams this year.

I'd love to see a real battle between Hamilton and Alonson where they always take each other out. Gloves are off this year.

You mean like the Massa brain farts of last year (or the late season Hamilton implosions).
