Brainy Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 Apparently Brawn are pitting laps 22 & 23, thats about three laps later than everybody else in the top 10. Ferrari I think are the lightest.
Nugent Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 Kubica + Vettel - Brawn 1,2 now. Shame the safety car has to end the race though.

Asha Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 Poor start to the season from Ferrari. Thanks for that <_< Horrible race for me. Especially as if Kimi hadn't wanked it in the wall and Felipe held on for a few more laps, they'd have been 3rd/4th.
Brainy Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 As far as I know Hamilton was never ahead of Trulli, the plank. Still fantastic drive from him though, it's the car not the driver eh ronnie?

Floating Fox Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 First off, great race. Thoroughly enjoyable and worth having 3 hours of sleep to get up and watch. Im no expert, I just like Hamilton also. Yeah, we know. We can't all be perfect specimens like yourself. I think you mean with about 10 of my posts. But you can get upset about me tellin someone they were a willy puller for talkin shit, it aint no thing.My eyes aint wrong. Anyone who watched that last race saw that guy slow down to about 50mph for the last third lap and allow Hamilton go past. Plain and simple Races won now I think You clearly lack a baisc understanding of F1. Come back when you've actually know anything about the sport you cretin. As far as I know Hamilton was never ahead of Trulli, the plank.Still fantastic drive from him though, it's the car not the driver eh ronnie? To be fair, if we are talking drive of the day - Jarno Truli without a doubt. Did better than Hamilton. Still I think Lewis should be very proud of a good race. Kubica and Vettel...felt sorry for them, would have been a good start to the season. Think Kubica would have challenged Button but probably ran out of time too.
Legend_in_blue Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 I missed the first 20 minutes - too much of an early start for me. Good to see Jenson getting the win. The Kubica and Vettel incident was unnecessary. Vettel should have backed out way before Kubica left him no room. Well done to Lewis too who for me made the most out of a difficult situation. Although credit to Trulli to getting 3rd from a pit lane start. It would appear that Kimi is still making driving errors and that Massa continues to do strange things on the circuit. Why all the lock ups under the safety car? Well done Button and Lewis
Legend_in_blue Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 Almost forgot to mention... KERS, the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems technology. In a couple of instances it was possible to see what advantage this gave Lewis from the cockpit view of his car. The circuit didn't really give much of an opportunity to use this with a decent passing chance though. It'll be interesting to see what happens on longer straights and faster circuits.
Legend_in_blue Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 Lewis Hamilton promoted to 3rd!!! :thumbsup: Trulli apparently passed under a yellow
StanSP Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 Lewis Hamilton promoted to 3rd!!! :thumbsup: Trulli apparently passed under a yellow Toyota are appealing. Not sure what for though. If the yellow flag is there and Trulli overtook then they have fuck all to appeal against. Glock promoted to 4th woo! (F1 FAntasy league purposes)
Brainy Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 Vettel to be demoted 10 places on the grid for Malaysia.
isaidno Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 WOW !, I certainly Know how to pick my races. I was at turn 3 when Vettel & Kubica collided . Brilliant drive by Button. The last 10 laps were fantastic when the tyres started to go off. I got in to the after race party aswell. Free BBQ & free Bar , & the who concert.

Samilktray Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 Brawn GP have a pretty cool looking car. Colours I mean, the actual F1 cars are some of the ugliest things on 4 wheels around.
isaidno Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 I had to 3 pairs of gloves capable of handling 1000 volts for the new KERS sysytem. A BMW mechanic was electricuted again this morning.
Darkzzz_ Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 Just watched the race now, was too early for me. Great opening, let the Button excitement begin! Hamilton will be a forgotten man won't he?
Uncle Albert Posted 29 March 2009 Posted 29 March 2009 NEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAnd Jenson Button takes 1st.... Sorry, Lewis who...... Lewis who? 3rd place. Yea though so, shut up. I got in at 6 this morning from town so I was up for the Grand Prix as I had football in 3 hours. So I chilled watching it with a bowl of Coco Pops and a glass of Ribena. Lovely stuff. Great start to the season, roll on Malaysia.
