2009 F1 Season

[ferni]

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!

Good to see Button win, and Brawn take a 1-2.

He did well to race clean all afternoon and the team got the strategy right. It was a great result, they were there to make their own luck when everybody crashed out

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.

[BezerkR32]

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 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

Anyone else think that someone at Honda is kicking themselves?

[TALBO]

I'd say there are few execs in Japan that would be...... yes!

[ctjet]

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

[Marco-R34GTT]

Virgin Honda... Would've been audatious, influencial and successful...

Oh well, too bad for the nippon boys eh...

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!

[Roy]

Fark Bernie! I am flying out of KL at 10.25pm. So just realised the Malaysian GP kicks off at 5pm So whats that, a 7pm finish...then i have to get a cab to the airport, check in???? Fark its going to be tight. Fark Bernie and his twilight races

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

[JUN`R32]

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

[ctjet]

who'd have thunk button to be a WDC?

stranger shit has happened

[Marco-R34GTT]

Just love the fack that the UK media had dumped Jensen on his arse a couple of years ago whe Lewis came dashing onto the scene, now Button is the old new old boy of the British media, their darling if you like... Oh... The f*cking irony...

[Marco-R34GTT]
