Skip to around 3:30 and it's all onboard.

Extrodinary interview with Bernie Ecclestone:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/9401826.stm

Basically says thinks are calming down now and they only cancelled the GP2 Asia race cos nobody really watches it anyway and it's not of any importance, and he hopes it will "all blow over" in time for the F1 race.

Meanwhile, in the real world in Bahrain, police are attacking protestors at a hospital with tear gas.

He has a screw loose. F1 should completely boycotte the country anyway to show that they won't tolerate that sort of violence.

We'll have the Extra Round at Snetterton just to keep it fair lol

on the upside it means we get rid of the most boring F1 race for a year which is always good

Political Spammery

Dont know what good it will do seeing as Bernie has shown signs of senility by passing the buck.

The Bahrain Grand Prix should not go ahead.

The Grand Prix is attended and funded by the countries elite. Having the Grand Prix during these times of turbulence in the Middle East is just not the done thing. This multi-million dollar circus turning up in a town where the majority of people feel oppressed by the Government... surely the Grand Prix cannot go on.

This is the side of Formula One I hate. Its lost its honesty and integrity, all thanks to Bernie.

My points are probably not clear at all in that, but I really can't put this into words.

Hey all,

So here we go new F1 season to start this weekend.

So lets predication games start -

Melbourne winner - Mind says Vettle heart Schui

Epic fail - Force India relaise they have the same car from last year

Commentary mishap - DC forgets he is on the BBC and asks martin if he would like anothe red bull

Slider's Predictions:

Pole: Vettel

Winner: Vettel

Surpprise: Schuey on the Front Row

Stupid Move: Hamilton wrecks going for a gap that isnt there

Pole: Vettel
Win: Vettel
Surprise: Heidfield on the podium

Hopefully Schumi gets his stuff together this year and Alonso crashes out on the first corner, and then repeats the process every race for the first half of the season, and then is forced to step aside for Massa. This will be so traumatic for him that he won't be able to continue for 2012 and Ferrari will get on their knees and beg for Kimi to come back, and the Ice Man will be world champion again in 2012.

One can only hope.

Scene One creeps me the hell out, and doesn't help Rosberg's manly persona .

James Key has "Apparently" been sacked over the Sauber Disqualification issue.
