To all those who said last year that Hamilton needs to prove himself in a crap car (Troy?)... 18th -> 3rd in a crap car... Credit where it's due!

But all the Hamilton bashers will say its the first race and everybody fell down around him. But I'll say well done to Lewis for finshing up so highly. Kudos also goes out to Glock, starting from pit lane and finish 4th is good...But one driver that I would say had a really good drive was Sebastien Buemi of STR. He diced with the big boys and finished 7th for his trouble (for someone that it's his first GP and drive that well on race day - after being 2 seconds a lap slower than the field during practice needs a pat on the back)

just got back, what a weekend. Anyone who said F1 was dead is kidding themselves. I witnessed the best qualifying session ever on saturday, and a good race, even though it finished under yellow.

The Brawn cars were awesome, and yes they made it look effortless, i wish i had some good video to show you Button taking turn 1&2, barely lifted off. Good drive from Kubica up until the brain explosion, he realed Vetell in over the last 3 laps. Also Alonso had a good drive in a slower car. And Credit to Lewis. Also the toyotas who had a tough weekend.

i swear the FIA is going to ban something at the end of this grand prix. How can the Brawn GP car be THAT much faster than anyone else. It almost looks effortless.......unless Jensen IS that good.

I agree, i was sitting in Brabbam and Vettel had an issue out of turn 1 which gave Kubica a good run, i was surprised he wasnt already infront by turn 3.

I was standing on turn 3 when Kubica and Vettel hit eachother and it really looked as though Vettel tried to give Kubica the squeeze. I haven't seen a replay, but I think vettel was trying to shut the door way too late.

EDIT: After seeing this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQdiGI7b2dY and http://www.motorchili.com/video/3325/F1-Au...nd-Kubica-crash, I stand by my original comment. Though I do think Rubens deserves a similar penalty.

Damn hammo, every trips in front of him people knocking each other out and he takes 3rd

gggrrrrr

vettel should have just backed off and let koobs through, no point when he would have got him either way in the next few corners as he was on the hard tyres.

Damn ferrari's i think they need to get rid of the new team director dominiceli or some crap like that, he looks useless

love the new cars though, think they look zippy, not as beastly as last yrs though :wub: still look sleek.

Brawn GP are damn quick !!

Ross Brawn is a magician, to get these cars that quick and have the team running in such a short time and to get 1st & 2nd is amazing !

Cant wait for the weekend :O:)

not really, winning or losing, they couldnt afford to finance the team anymore

what they should really be pissed about is coming up with that earth dreams crap for the last two years and not finding a title sponsor... thus putting them in the awkward position they found themselves late last year

i hope the marketing dipshit that came up with that got the ass and as a result is now unemployable

18 constructors championship points is worth a great deal to a team financially. Could potentially mean they travel (Brawn GP Cargo that is) to the rest of this years events for free

Sponsors are attracted to front runners because they get better bag for buck on the TV coverage all over the world. This for Brawn GP alone is a MASSIVE win both on and off the track!

Oh well, off now...will enjoy the maiden win of RBR and Webber, he goes ok in Malaysia so here is hoping that the Brawns blow up ... its probably what it will take

Vettels comments on the brawn cars, as he was following button for quite sometime....

I have the feeling they (Brawn) were playing with us

Hmm interesting if they have more pace in the car, and if they do then no one will catch this mob

very quick

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
