    I certainly hope that Michael Schumacher will be able to bounce back this year.

    Absolutely superb race for the start of the season!

    The Hondas look strong this year - I don't think they'll win a championship but I think Jenson/Rubens can expect to win a race or two if they can improve their starts.

    I voted for JPM in the poll, but he really wasn't on it this race - Kimi started 20th and still finished ahead of him!

    Kimi's one stop strategy really worked this time. But alonso is quick, for more than half the race i though Michael would be a clear winner, but that last pit stop timing of alonso was superb.

    Next race is in Malaysia, next weekend. Eagerly waiting for that one.

    Awesome start to the season ~ Shame about Button's terrible start though...

    Well done Alonso ~ I'm always pleased to see someone other than shumie winning.

    The new McLaren looks stunning in chrome huh...

    And congratulations to Kimi on his incredible race. Starts on the grid at #22 and finishes at #3... Awesome...

    My friend works at Silverstone every year at the formula 1. She can get me in as a marshall. Basically you direct cars and then once the race starts you stand behind the barries at the track side and watch (thats where she always works). Never had the chance to go down though :(

    I didnt get to follow it much last year so I am a bit out of touch with who has the best chance.

    Yeah, Button's start wasn't fantastic but Hondas look in good shape for this season.

    I'm sorry for Coulthard, I'd love to see him do better, and I think he will.

    As for Davidson, he should replace Barrichello before the end of the season, he has huge potential.

    Someone would jump to be a marshall, I would fly...:)

    Heh, at the risk of being branded a show-off I have VIP tickets to Silverstone anyway, so I'd give marshalling a miss TBH :)

    Yeah, definetely a show-off!

    I still wouldn't mind marshalling anyway, although I'm not sure about what they have to do, and what they get BTW.

    The next thing is someone coming in and saying that they are...starting on the grid!
