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!

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

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
