Could I ask al the Britsh fans who are annoyed by ITV's coverage to not watch the race build up tomorrow and send a letter through ITV-f1 website?

i switched the tv off as soon as the session ended. was the post-qualli coverage cringeworthy to an all new high? did they imply that it was an automatic win for Lewis, like it was (not) in Monaco? i can imagine Steve would have gone off on one reading his script, and Blundell trying to reign back the enthusiasm and give more of a sobre opinion.

Sauber89 - true, but it was never as bad as this, then again he was never given the same opputunity. but thats no reason to make a 40min show dedicated to him then spend the hour before quali talking about him.
matt - i do
but Honda will be quick soon enough i hope!

OK, my opinions, team by team...
McLaren - Once again Alonso and Hamilton pwned the entire field, as expected. Their cars are strong here, and they should have another easy task in this race.
Ferrari - They were pwned by McLaren, and the advantage they had in pre-season up to Bahrain, disappeared very quickly. Kimi is yet to regain the pace he showed at Melbourne, and his teammate has another tough task starting in 4th. Of course, I dont believe in him.
BMW Sauber - WTF!! Amazing drive by Nick, he pushed extremely hard to put his car between the Maccas and Ferraris! I must admit, I wasnt expecting this kind of drive from him, and he surprised me. He really has some talent to show, if hes in a decent car. I couldnt see enough of Kubica though, but so atm i think that hes very, very far from Heidfeld.
ING Renault - Fisichella didnt do anything amazing or unexpected. Just his normal drive between the front runners and the midfield pack. Let's face it, he'll never fight for the title. The car isnt that bad, its almost the same as in previous seasons. They need to put more work on the suspension to make the "bridgies" work like the michelins did for them. And Kovy, pfft. He cracked under pressure, and the fact that he had never raced at Montreal isnt an excuse. Lewis got the pole with just 3 days of experience there. For someone who thinks that can match Lewis, he has done nothing in this season, and Fisi is pwning him. He needs to improve, otherwise he'll end like Fisichella. I'm pretty sure that Piquet Jr is very close to make his first F1 race this season.
Honda - The car pisses me off. Its not only understeery, but also slow in straights. They were supposed to be working to reduce the amount of problems in this car, but looks like they arent doing anything. If I were Button, i'd start to look for another team, they are just too lazy and are always creating more and more excuses. Exactly like No.8 loves to do when he fails. Like Ralf, No.8 has nothing more to do in F1.
Red Bull - Webber once again pwned DC. I'm pretty sure that Webber will replace DC next season, being the new veteran in the team to help another rookie. The car really improved, but very little. They are just up there because Honda and Renault dropped back.
Williams - Nico is driving better than he did in the last season, and hes definately has talent. No need to mention that in a customer Toyota car, hes pwning the works team MOST EXPERIENCED drivers. They have a decent car, good enough for some points, but not yet to bring glory back to Sir Frank Williams headquarters. I still believe in Wurz, but I dont know whats happening with him. This season is his last chance, he needs to show that he can be there for the next season, or I'll be forced to support his retirement.
Toyota - Again, spending millions and millions of dollars in a team that still uses the same car, with no big developments and the same drivers that still deliver the same poor performances. Trulli is just like Fisi. After todays performance in quali, Ralf deserves to be sacked for the next race.
Super Aguri - Using the last years Honda car, they are pwning the works team. Points @ Spain with Sato, but Davidson is yet to prove that hes capable to be a regular F1 driver. He seems to be still thinking that hes a test driver. Sato is doing well and Honda made a mistake by dropping him from the works team to a customer team.
Toro Rosso - No big developments so far, disappointing. I cant understand Liuzzi - he did well in the lower formulae but then still didnt convinced me that he can be there for the next Season. But I am convinced that Speed should be sacked. He didnt showed me anything to prove that he can make good things at STR.
Spyker - Sutil once again pwned Albers. But I think that hes a bit overrated atm - Lets face it, he still didnt showed anything amazing. I might change my mind if he starts to deliver some good qualifying and race results. Would be good to see if hes good enough to put his Spyker in Q2, or drive a consistent race into top 10, for example. Albers? Jesus, they should sign Jos "The Boss" to replace him, Jos is damn good, and could give them a better feedback about the car!

Im a Button fan, but how can you say that Button should move to a new team, but Barrachello has no place in F1, when he is clearly faster than Button this year?

yer but the worst thing is jenson had a shocking half seasons when the hype would die down, british viewers are looking at 20 years of this arse licking | i'd like ferrari to win today because ron denis i frankly going mad with the attention hes getting.
If anybody does watch the build up today (which i probably wont be, a first for me...i cant stand this constant appreciation anymore, theres 21 other drivers for godsake!) then I'd like you to keep a tally chart of how many times they say the words "Lewis Hamilton"

In qualifying RB has proven the quicker, but in the races they are prettymuch equal.
however i think this weekend, RB has it over him.
throughout the season, RB has always started slower, but improved his times... JB hasnt looked to be able to do this... And I beleive its because it was only 2001 he had a shite car, and so he lacks good experience/knowledge of how to setup a bad car, or get a bad car to suit his style.
Once the car comes to him he will be fine, thing is, he cant seem to get the car to come to him as well as RB can. Like Prost, JB though extremely quick needs the circumstances to suit his style. He'll be fine though.

If you actually watched qualifying, you would know that Alonso had missed teh apex at the hairpin, thus dirtying his tyres on the marbles. The reduced grip caused him to mess up the final chicane aswell, at that point he realised the lap was screwed and he weaved down the straight out of fustration.
Lewis WON that pole position.
