Cambrey: Jean Todt elected new FIA president. He beat Ari Vatanen to the post. Either one would have been good I think. They both have a lot of experience. Todt has just more experience in F1.

I was hoping to see some new possibilities with Vatanen in the seat... oh well, could be worse (Flavio) :D
Villeneuve and Schumacher return to F1 ?
Also, Bruno Senna (Ayrton's nephew) is looking for a team.
Schumacher is a definite (if we're talking Michael here). Hadn't heard about Villeneuve.
Not long now until it all starts up... quite excited.
It's all looking really interesting with the new teams! I didn't realise Lotus were back in it!
I have no words to describe this... this, guy...

A lucky man. The screen seems to go up when you accelerate and down when you slow down. I don't know if I'd like that.

The same effect is used in some attractions at for example Disneyland, of course, there it's pitch black around you so you only get the physical sensation which combined with the animation on screen creates a more complete experience (also there are a few dozen seats instead on the single one here). The light in the room doesn't exactly help the feeling of sitting in a car, but seeing how you probably need to concentrate on the screen it shouldn't take away too much of the realism.

Yeah, I think that since you are focused on the screen there is no problem, you're in a closed room just playing your game on a wheel, this time with the added feel of acceleration and deceleration.
But it is funny at first, the guy looks like an astronaut in training. :p

Qualification for Bahrain finished, and we have the grid for Sunday's race.
Did anyone else watch it?
I found it quite interesting to see the new teams and Shumacher back.
Not a completely unexpected grid though, but I was hoping for more from Maclaren.
View the full grid here.
So, Bruno Senna finally found a team. That's great, and I hope that his name won't be a burden for him, in a way that some people probably already have high expectations for his debut in F1.

The BBC commentators have already said things like he'll never match his uncle's achievements. I expect he's had as much pressure because of his name as he has had any benefits.
