[2008]F1 Season

[ande_ka_funda]

This year is Alonso's!!!
After last years bad publicity, overnight he turned from the next big thing to he most hated figure in the sport!
But tis year he will set things right and let his driving do all the talking!

I will be rooting for him thru thick and thin!

P.S. Someone please change AlAnso to Alonso....hu could make such a major typo?

[forgiven]

i wish kimi wins again this season...last season as said by someone earlier was the best ,one cudnt hv hoped for a better finish to the F1 CHAMPIONSHIP being decided in the last race and that too with three top contenders.....so hopin for a close finish this season too....FERRARI ROCKS!!!
paint the sky with azure!!

Race changes:

• It has been confirmed that Singapore will host a Grand Prix from 2008 for the next five years. It will be a street circuit, with the route designed by Hermann Tilke. It has been confirmed that the Grand Prix will be a night race, with a start time of 20:00 local time and run in an anti-clockwise direesction to enhance safety. It has also been revealed that practice sessions and qualifying will take place at night.
• The European Grand Prix will take place at the Valencia Street Circuit in 2008, changing from the Nürburgring which hosted the event up until 2007. Because both German circuits share the right to host an F1 race, the German Grand Prix will take place at Hockenheim in 2008. It will continue to alternate between these two circuits yearly.
• It has been confirmed that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will not hold a Grand Prix in 2008; however, a possible return to Indianapolis in the future has not been completely ruled out.
• The 2007 French GP was said to be the last to be held at Magny-Cours. Alternatives for the French Grand Prix included Paul Ricard or a new circuit near Disneyland Paris or Charles de Gaulle airport likely to host the event from 2009. However on 24 July 2007 it was reported that Bernie Ecclestone had "agreed in principle to maintain the race at Magny-Cours in 2008, and even 2009, if there were no other alternative."
• The 2008 season also sees changes to the race start times for China, moved to 15:00 and Australia, moved from its traditional 14:00 slot to 15:30.

Hi F1 Puys,

With just 3 days to go for the five red lights to go up in Melbourne, high time we start our PG F1 Leagues and make our predictions. My bad, both Fantasy F1 League and EspnStar sites are both blocked at office as "Sports Sites".

I had posted earlier about one kind of F1 League that we can play out here. Have given the link to that below.

PS: Rajat and Nikker Bhai, your full support, enthusiasm and opinions are needed to make this all the more fun and enjoyable.Thanks.

Yes, arun lets kick start the fantasy league.

Awaiting this season to take off esp since there is a night race scheduled at Singapore in the later part of this year.

My prediction:
Fav to win this year : Kimi
Top rival: Hamilton
Underdog: Massa

FA will be competitive at times but I really doubt that renault has recovered itself from last years debacle.

Waiting to see how will traction control's absence hamper these drivers accuracy especially under rain. Didnt we had some exciting races last year end coz of rain.
