Formula 1 Is Back

[TALBO]

Could be, although I'm pretty sure both Kimi and Felipe are contracted to until the end of 2010. I'm not a huge Alonso fan either but I will admit he's fkn fast.

[Krishy]

the drivers can quit through their contracts steve

I would be happy if they all sort all this shit out and make an announcement for the next years season

[TALBO]

Of course anyone can walk out on a contractual obligations but it kind of makes their options elsewhere a little more limited.

At the moment it's still looking like the 8 teams united under FOTA will go F1 racing next year with a reduced budget and it doesn't look like Max is going to be a candidate for re-election.

You think thats the precursor to kimi leaving F1 at the end of the year and alonso taking his seat?? =\

/me is not a huge alonso fan

f**k i hope not...Kimi is about the only one left with some form of his own opinon and not one who tow's the company line word for word

I beleive they've agreed to cutting costs back to what they were spending in the early 90's but they're going to do it over a number of years not all in one go.

So they have disagreed to agree....there will be no breakaway series

[TALBO]

there will be no breakaway series

IMO it's actually looking more like FOTA will go their own way.

Ron could axe Melbourne event....

[180or200]

webber takes pole woohoo!!!

[Fishpaste~]

congrats to mark!

i have this suspission that he actually had heavier fuel than vettel!! seems like RBR stratergy is that the person with the more agressive fule load for qualifying goes 2nd out of the garage... but being on a cold track, i think the heavier fuel load was getting the temps into the tires better and hence getting the speed in qualifying. similar reason as to what happened last race with the fuel loads reversed!

tho there still seems to be a gap between brawn/RBR and the rest of the field =\

Massive congrats to Mark finally cracked that pole now hopefully for the win!

well done mark webber!!!!

[RB26TTVL]

Congrats Mark Webber. Big win, especially after the drive through.

On another note, did anyone see Barrichello's outburst after the race. No doubt Brawn is probably favouring Button, but that was pretty unprofessional. I don't think we'll see him at Brawn next year...

[Boof]

Massive win! I went to bed after he had his drive through penalty handed to him but had a gut feeling he might still be in the race looking at the distance back to 3rd and the fact that rubens was coming in 5 laps earlier...

What did Rubens have to say this time?? Must hand it to the guy he always plays second fiddle in the team(s)

[mid life crisis]

kudo's too mark well done plus watching lol lewie the cry come last almost made my day

[skins]

kudo's too mark well done plus watching lol lewie the cry come last almost made my day

The king of the dnf.... he actually won?

Wow. Congrabulations

[HOSTILE]

What an awesome win!!

That was pure GOLD last night.... gonna make the second half of the year very interesting with the championship well and truly up for grabs...

[Krishy]

Well done to mark webber on his first career victory.....it was an awesome race last night and Webber did everything just right.....even serving a drive through penalty for contact on the first lap and he still managed to win the race with a decent margin....RBR 1-2 good to see them challenging for podium finishes and race victory.....Brawn cars just demolished their tyres which goes to show how much RBR have improved.....

Just when you thought no Ferrari chit chat lol......Massa finished 3rd and drove a stunning race mind you holing Barichello for a few laps was good to watch....Ferrari have improved immensely since the first round here in Oz.....Hamilton finished last....oh so happy to see Mclaren doing so bad this season lol.....
