manc_don Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Looks like an awesome start to this season! Great to see if back on BBC Brawn GP look like they are going to give the establishment a good run for their money! Hopefully this will be the season we get to see what the real Jenson Button is made of and whether or not he has the skills to win a couple of rases.

Kowalski Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Aye the coverage was great. Brilliant to have it back where it belongs, and with The Chain returning! BBC title sequence: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7969481.stm I quite like Jenson, hope he wins tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownyBrown Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I've never liked Jenson, so I'd rather he didn't win it... I think Kubica has got a great opportunity, not just for this race but for the season. He's an excellent young driver and not always with the best car. Good to see the new Brawn team doing well already too. They've pretty much got the best Engineer and race strategist in Ross Brawn who was very much the man behind Schumachers reign as world champion. F1 back on the BBC where it belongs, I hope they've not hired that irritating twat Blundell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pundits are Coulthard and Eddie Jordan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Good race today, was going to make it up for the live showing but failed to wake up after getting to bed at 4.30. What an ending to the race! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quirie Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hamilton has been excluded from the Australian GP results for deliberately misleading stewards! Ooft! So does that mean everyone else gets bumped up one? Trulli has been given 3rd back so im guessing 5th-9th move up one spot since Hamilitin finshed 4th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Actually, Hamilton's really been a naughty boy here. Martin Brundle's comments on the BBC website: "This does not look good for Hamilton or McLaren. Hamilton passed Trulli as he was off the road. Hamilton clearly wondered then, to give him the benefit of the doubt, if he had passed under the safety car conditions and was trying to let Trulli back through. "There was a point when he was doing just 15mph in his McLaren and Trulli had no option but to repass him. "I think Lewis then saw half a chance of a third place instead of a fourth, went up to the stewards and didn't give them the full story. "Now they've matched up his comments (to them) to radio content between him and the team, and other information they've gathered, and they've decided that effectively he was telling fibs. "I think it's a big issue and it's not going to go away. If they were asked a direct question they should have given the right answer, and they clearly didn't." That's blatant cheating, on a par with Schumacher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hamilton's side of the story: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/74202 He's basically admitted to cheating, albeit on the advice of Dave Ryan who has now been suspended by McLaren. I think McLaren have brought the sport into disrepute and there should be further action taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownyBrown Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 F1 stinks. I'm not sure you can even call it a 'sport' anymore such is the level of corruption and unsporting behaviour on show. I'm not surprised though with scumbags like Ecclestone and Mosley in charge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed most of the qualifiers. Vettel amused me in the conference afterwards, I don't sweat cos i'm still young! I just thought he looked like a german SS man.

Changed a gearbox in between both races I think, which is a 5 place penalty on the grid. I just hope Button's car is entirely legal and gets passed this appeal hearing coming up (next week?).

dave_min Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Whats with the commentator trying to sound like Murray Walker, was doing my nut in! I'm rather glad all the moneys fallen out of F1, much more entertaining this year (sofar anyway) I just hope it's the same case with Rallying and BTCC. Fingers crossed anyway, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed anyway, Completely agree, I hope Button and Brawn keep it up, and it was good to see Red Bull looking quite strong this season too. Thought Kubica had a great season last season, definitely one to watch this season. Wasn't there fears that the British Rallying season might not happen with loads of teams pulling out?

dave_min Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Wasn't there fears that the British Rallying season might not happen with loads of teams pulling out? Yeah, but i'm hoping all the manufacturers dropping out will lead to lots of small independent teams creating a great season! But I was reading that Prodrive were gonna have a team running the new Impreza? I'd like them to do well. Just have to wait and see...

Kowalski Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Disappointing end to the Malaysian GP. I thought it was a cracking race and was very unpredictable with everybody gambling on tyres. Button looked good again though, after a poor start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Button looked good again though, after a poor start. I know I was thinking the same. There was a lot of overtaking today which was great, then the weather came and spoiled it all. Absolutely crazy idea having it carried out at such a late time of the day. In hindsight, that extra hour cost them big time! Those final two laps that Button did were at some pace.
