Webber takes 3rd on qualifying!

However, qualifying means jack all now days as it's a mystery as to what laps they have opted to pit in. Still good to see Webber taking the fight to them!

what a race

fun to watch

[Shell]

that was a fcking awesome race!!!!

so glad I stayed up to watch it! :uh-huh:

thought it was funny when Rubens slowed down and pulled over...and they said ppl got up and started leaving LOL

i was disappointed when Montoya went off...but then i laughed when MS did later on hehe

and how bad was that acco from Webbers debree??

[Silver-Arrowz]

WooHoo! Another Mclarens win!

Gotta feel for Jordan though, I reckon it would've made little difference if they won and they need it. Hehe.. and the car was on fire afterwards, must've been pissed off about the results.

As much as I'd love to see Mark Webber get maxium points from every GP, I hate this 2 lap countback rule, honestly, a car which has caused a reg flag accident and can't be driven shouldn't be awarded points in my humble opinon.

Looks like justice is going to take a turn for the better!

I hope Fisichella gets his first GP win. Kimi's just had his.

fisi's first win is longggggg overdue

even if fisi win's by means of calculation error, its not as glamourous as when properly decided on track.. just not the same hey~

Well, if he had started his 56th lap, there is no question that the countback is to lap 54..and he wins.

I've finished a number of races under red flag, and it always shits me that I didn't get to make that one last move on the car in front....and red flag rules (at least in Aus) are implemented so poorly, no-one ever knows if it will be declared at previous lap, restart on current lap, restart race etc etc. One time at Oran Park last year we waited 20 min while the stewards stuffed around deciding what to do - we could have done the whole race again in that time!

[AndyMac]

Red flag is a bad, bad feeling...but i personally find the green with a yellow chevron worse...

Nothing like getting a perfect start and seeing that MF flag a few flag points down the track.....Or the red and white chequed

[Duncan]

:confused: green & yellow?

red flags shit me coz drivers know they can take advantage of it.

one example from last season. Pole sitter gets bad start, so makes overly aggresive move down the inside of 3rd & 4th into turn 2 at Oran Park. Smacks into 3rd place car, both spin, they end up nose to nose in the middle of the track. 2nd place starter is miles ahead due to the accident.

Both kill engines and say they can't move. Since track is blocked, race is red flagged. Since it is first lap, there is a full restart, including dcikhead being back in pole to try again.

[AndyMac]

In AKA Sprint Karts, if the start has deemed to be unfair or someone has jumped it they put out a green flag with yellow chevrons to indicate to slow down and reform on the track in your starting postions (karts have a rolling start.)

I think your pole sitter might be watching too much F1..LOL...

I dont beleive they should change the result! Would they do the same in any other sport ie Footy?

I am a Macca fan so i am biased i spose
