Great. Really enjoyed that. Respect to anyone with no F1 experience to keep lap times with a team mate like Alonso in testing.

I actually thought the program really disappointing - the first half was just like a cringable PR film for McLaren, and there was no insight at all into the technical side of developing the car. It will be fascinating to see how Hamilton gets on this season though. The pressure on him must be unbelievable. The history of F1 is littered with rookies who have been great in the lower formula but can't hack F1's intensity. Remember Jan Magnussen? Utterly brilliant in F3, possibly one of the best F3 drivers ever, but utterly and inexplicably hopeless in F1. My money is on Alonso for world champ and hopefully at least one win for Lewis. Strangely the whole game seems so much more appealing without Schumacher :D

Will be looking at this season with interest as wife bought us all tickets for practice, qualifying and race at Silverstone.

Sometimes being 40 is good :D

i really hope he does well but the press are putting so much pressure on him to excell from the start.

why do the british press like to build someone upthen as soon as they make a mistake completly slate them and write them off?

tossers!!

good luck all british drivers in F1...4 this year! :D

cant wait till next weekend

genuinely sad i missed this. Very much looking forward to my fortnightly fix of motorsport, and for the first time since 1993, I don't have a driver I shall be rooting for from the start!

I'd like Ferrari to do well, as the marque needs the 'heritage', I'd love to see alonso lose as he's so dull, but i wouldn't like Raikkonen to win.... go figure! I guess this year is the best opportunity Button will have to do well :)
