dandannieldanok Posted 23 May 2009 Posted 23 May 2009 Some websites have Bourdais and Glock pitting on lap 50....... Is that even possible, are the tanks big enough?
Brainy Posted 23 May 2009 Posted 23 May 2009 although Hamilton's cock-up today was strange. It's because he's shit in bad cars and not technically sound.
isaidno Posted 23 May 2009 Posted 23 May 2009 If Button leads into the 1st corner, race over. If Kimi gets in front at the start it will be interesting.

True, although if Button sticks on his gearbox then you still have to fancy him for the win. Button has shown that he can punch some superb laps in during the pit-stop window this season.

dandannieldanok Posted 24 May 2009 Posted 24 May 2009 Hamilton ain't gonna like this, Button coming round to lap him already!
isaidno Posted 24 May 2009 Posted 24 May 2009 Brawn domination becoming a bit boring now. agreed , the race today was dull. I'm glad Ferrari are fast again. Massa could win in Turkey.
Jimmy Posted 24 May 2009 Posted 24 May 2009 how many different winners had we had by this stage last season? hopefully the FIA will realise they made it boring and stop fooking with the regulations If Jenson doesn't win the title now he should never race in F1 again
isaidno Posted 29 May 2009 Posted 29 May 2009 Teams submit F1 entries for 2010 Team bosses are all now signed up to compete in next season's campaign Ferrari and the rest of the teams in the Formula 1 Teams' Association (Fota) have submitted conditional entries for the 2010 championship. Williams announced on Monday that they intend to enter next season's campaign. McLaren, BMW Sauber, Toyota, Renault, Red Bull Racing, Toro Rosso, Brawn GP and Force India have now followed suit. However, the teams have only signed up to the new season on the condition that they are able to operate on the basis of current technical regulations. The teams and the sport's governing body, the FIA, have been at odds in recent weeks over plans to introduce an optional budget cap in 2010. Those teams who pledged to keep costs under £40m a season would be allowed greater technical freedom than those outside of the budget cap, but many of the teams felt the cap was far too strict, fearing it would create a two-tier championship. Ferrari, Renault, Red Bull and Toyota all threatened to pull out of the sport if the budgetary restrictions were to be forced through. It prompted a crisis meeting between Fota and the FIA a fortnight ago, talks which failed initially to provide an acceptable compromise. But at a meeting at the Monaco Grand Prix last week, it was agreed in principle to delay the cap until 2011, while motorsport boss Max Mosley has made other concessions to the teams on governance. And it appears enough progress has now been made on that to convince teams to sign up to the new season - on the condition that a new financial agreement with F1's management is reached by 12 June. "It could be the end (of the budget cap row) but we won't know for certain until the FIA publish its list of accepted teams and drivers for the 2010 championship on 12 June," reported BBC Five Live's F1 commentator David Croft. "At the moment, it's the current 10 teams plus Prodrive, USF1 and the Campos team from Spain. Those teams will be offered technical assistance from the current entrants who, in return for that, want a sliding scale of cost-cutting. "That means instead of a £40m cap next year, say a spend of around £80m that reduces to somewhere around £40m by 2011. "The teams have tried to meet Max Mosley halfway on this one - it remains to be seen now if he agrees to their terms." A statement on behalf of Fota said: "Fota confirms all its members' long-term commitment to be involved in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. "It has unanimously agreed further and significant actions to substantially reduce the costs of competing in the championship in the next three years."
AjcW Posted 6 June 2009 Posted 6 June 2009 Ohh dear dear dear.... I really have no clue whats going on with that Mclaren car. Cracking drive from red bull again in Q1. :).
StanSP Posted 6 June 2009 Posted 6 June 2009 Turn One is a bit of a bastard! Will be fun to watch tomorrow
AjcW Posted 6 June 2009 Posted 6 June 2009 Wow loved Q3.... I love this circuit... lots of excitement... role on tomorrow. Nice start time too.
isaidno Posted 6 June 2009 Posted 6 June 2009 Should be a good race tommorrow. This time last year I was at the Canadian Gp, bring it back
StanSP Posted 6 June 2009 Posted 6 June 2009 Should be a good race tommorrow. This time last year I was at the Canadian Gp, bring it back Don't think it was last year, but I remember Kubica (I think) having a huge crash. He hit the concrete on the right hand side and then went up in to the air and flew across the track on to the other sider onto the grass.
isaidno Posted 6 June 2009 Posted 6 June 2009 Don't think it was last year, but I remember Kubica (I think) having a huge crash. He hit the concrete on the right hand side and then went up in to the air and flew across the track on to the other sider onto the grass. That was the year before, last year was when Hamilton crashed in the pits. I'm hoping it comes back with the US team coming into F1 next season
Asha Posted 6 June 2009 Posted 6 June 2009 Don't think it was last year, but I remember Kubica (I think) having a huge crash. He hit the concrete on the right hand side and then went up in to the air and flew across the track on to the other sider onto the grass. Kubica won it last year.
dandannieldanok Posted 6 June 2009 Posted 6 June 2009 Still confident Button will win. The Brawns are better in the race than qualifying and there is no-one better than Button at punching in a couple of quick laps in the pit-stop window, which should see him leapfrog Vettel.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 6 June 2009 Posted 6 June 2009 Must add - how glad is Bernie that his change of points system wasn't in place this season otherwise the season would be as good as over surely?
Brainy Posted 7 June 2009 Posted 7 June 2009 Rumour going around that only Williams and Force India will race today and everyone won't in protest over the political shit. Apparently there was a meeting this morning.
Milky Posted 7 June 2009 Posted 7 June 2009 Jake nearly got ran over in the pits Some bloke pulled him back at the last second.
