    Watching the Spanish GP today?

    Here's hoping it's a good one. I'm still watching F1 despite the continued lack of on track action up front - "ooh he passed him in the pit stop"... so exciting, not. Am loving the fact that there's a title fight on already and that Sato and Davidson are doing just as well as Button in the Honda (in qualifying if not on race day)

    Watching it? ofcourse, I've only missed 4/5 races this century (sounds even more impressive when you say it that way!), and they were out of my control.

    I expect it will be a good race, in relative terms, if Massa can keep the lead then he could well win the race, if the Macs get ahead though, Ferrari could struggle - they dont run in dirty air as well as the Macs it appears.

    Still not as exciting as both GP2 races, they are always good

    Well i think you need to put me down as Hamilton fanboy, but i'm enjoying the start of the season with no-one running away with it.

    Proper decent fights, and there have been some decent overtaking. Heidfeld's move on alonso. Hamilton sticking it to the ferrari's on more than 1 occasion.

    I enjoy F1 when its not certain who is going to win. Overtaking or not....

    The GP2 race this morning was rubbish tho, T block got ahead and ran away with it, can't remember seeing a gp2 race with so little overtaking.

    Thanks for the reminder - forgot this is on eurosport. (Edit) Watching it now (despite the spoiler ^^^, don't have setanta so can't watch it live)

    I've got it on and will be hoping Kimi wins. If he doesn't, I'll settle for Massa or Hamilton winning, as long as it's not Alonso. I loved the end of qualifying yesterday, you can probably image why

    My wife's a big fan of Kimi. I respect his skill - he is in my mind the closest to Schumi - but I can't help loving how well Hamilton is doing (had expected him to have made a major mistake by now but happy to be wrong so far).

    Program started @ 12:00 so I'd guess the race will get under way @ 13:00

    Good shout, he's been my favourite F1 driver since his Sauber debut, and will continue to be until he leaves F1.

    Hamilton is good, but i'm not drawn to supporting drivers only because they're British, and I dont 'support' LH.

    Oh well :/ I'll be cheering on Massa and Hamilton now (in that order). I'll also be hoping that Alonso goes out ^__^

    Well that's Kimi out... Anyone else wondering if Honda regret spending so much on TV ads while the F1 is on?

    They sponsor the F1 program. Not strictly adverts in the break.
