Because it's about NIki Lauda.

Lauda is omnipresent in the media here, he's got an opinion on everything and of course claims only his opinion is the correct one. And of course, he gets asked by the media here on pretty much about everything. And he changes his opinions like his socks every day.

Best example; when that volcano in Iceland broke out, whatshisname, Eyafjallakjodoodle there was a period when flights were prohibited througout most of Europe. Lauda, when asked, said this was the right decision, as it was "logical". A couple of days later, he was an outspoken critic of this same suspension of flights, as it was "logical" to continue flights...

Sometimes, I think that even when 3 chickens roll over and die on some odd farm in the remotest Corner of Austria, Lauda will get asked by some local newsman why this happened. And of course, Lauda will issue his opinion, which of course will be "logical" and the only correct one. Lauda, Austria's "expert-on-everything"...

Long story short, he gets on my nerves

Would love to know the truth.

Ha! Just like every year

In fact they even have these so-called "problems" on the first half dozen races. And then somehow... they always manage to easily bag the championship...

Go Vettel go!

Nah - they are always there or thereabouts. They've never had this level of problems.

Potty mouth!!!

I don't understand. I thought we were talking about bullocks. I just do not understand why the cattle has to be red. And why are cows discriminated? Is it not time we begin to talk about the holy cow instead of that crazy bullock?

I truly do not get what you got that potty mouth from?

All that hard work, gets the pole, and then the engine decides to lose a cylinder right at the start of the race

Congratulations Nico Rosberg, Daniel Ricciardo (nice for the Aussie crowd to have a home hero finish 2nd, and to Kevin Magnusson (first Dane to appear on an F1 podium!).

Status: offline 		I just hope the races are more exciting than the pit lanes VIP's this year.

Niko was so overwelmed with winning he parked his car in the wrong place, Magnusson parked on the other side of the pit, a tad too much near the middle perhaps? Anyway Ricciardo couldn't fit in the middle space, the marshal placed the No.2 sign just in front of his car. So they officals got their bit of excitement at the end of the race.

Nice win for Mercedes. Maclaren surprised me and Vettel might have to worry about his team mate, I just hope he treats him better than he did Weber.

Let's hope he gets better luck in the race compared to Oz

P.S Lewis, and all you drivers - please stop changing your helmet designs It's just $%^&*%$££!!

Agreed - I was a big Williams fan - although that is more because of Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill than anything else.

Raikkonen is hopefully proving what I have always felt - he is the most overrated driver since Nelson Piquet.
