Formula 1 2009 season

Usually the fastest car gets reigned in over the course of the season. Remember when the McLaren's lapped the entire field in 98, but the others were much closer by the end of the season.

I agree Brawn might struggle eventually. Ferrari and Red Bull when they develop new diffusers should be very quick. Maybe Richard Branson will get his check book out to help Brawn stay at the top.

of course the fastest car gets reigned in.  Im not saying it wont!

What im saying is that people make out like its just a fluke, and in a few races time they will be at the back of the grid again as the other teams will be blowing them away.

Just not going to happen IMO.  Ross brawn has a long history of success in F1.  Branson isnt going to back a team as a main sponsor to see it fail and end up at the back of the grid.

They have the knowledge, and backing to stay competitive at the top of the field.  Sure they wont dominate for the whole season, far from it.  but they wont drop off the pace and end up at the back either.

Looks very interesting for the race tomorrow. Trulli is well on it!
I wonder if he'd stayed on the right hand side of the circuit as he crossed the line (like everyone else) would the pole be any different?
Morning in bed for me anyway tomorrow.

Nah there isn't a tenth in staying right over the line, would have been slightly quicker though.

Yeh War Lord your right. The McLarens had no competition then Ferrari caught up. Down to Suzuki it went didnt it?

redman -check out whos in P1!!!!! hahahahahahahah  told you so!!! again!

cant remember who else was saying brawn wouldnt be able to keep up with the other teams, may have been cu3ed,  i know its still early in the season, but it must be getting harder to keep dismissing them

cant wait for tomorrows race!!!

I have to admitt, im astonished by the turn around of the honda/brawn team.
Fair play to them and good luck. I think in a few races it'll a different story but you never know....
Tomorrows race should be a cracker anyway

Forget Malaysia, I got sun burned at Silverstone today! It's bloody killin' me. :-(

Why cant ya suppport Button & Hamilton afterall they're both British

If thats to me then why should i support someone just because they are British?
 

No it werent to you, but thats abit like saying why should i support England cause im English

That doesnt apply as much though in a sport that is not directly nationality based. England football team is all about England. F1 may have drivers of different nationalitys but it is more about the driver.
I like Alonso, he's Spanish, my favourite footballer is Fernando Torres, he's also Spanish. I just personally believe they are the best in the their chosen field. I dont care for Patriotism.

The difference of even a week, theirs barly a second of difference in it now!

yep!  its close racing which is what we all want to see!

But i believe brawn have a good car, others seem to believe they are only fast because the others dont.  This isnt the case imo.  Look how close they are to last seasons times

i think brawn will be contenders all the way through the season.  they have my support thats for sure.  I want to see them do well.

Button has always and will always have my backing as a driver.  He is world class and deserves to be fighting for points, not wasted at the back of the grid.  I know others feel differently and thats cool.

hamilton will do pretty well in the race tomorrow as well i think.  Watched his interviews today, and he seemed genuinely humble.  He has gone up a few pegs in my book

lmao at the toyota engineers on the grid round the back of the car!

they need to drop malaysia from the gp . its always monsoon weather

Terrible gamble by Ferrari putting wets on Kimi early.

dazzz


they need to drop malaysia from the gp . its always monsoon weather

yeah, its spoilt a really good race. 

sad end to what was a good race... loads of overtaking

i look forward to wacthing F1 now, also....NO ADVERT BREAKS!

used to hate having to see a reply of the race leader crashing out or being overtaken while we were learning the joys of a kid who wants to do a poo at pauls

Saying they shouldn't have a race in Malaysia just because it has rained this year is the dumbest thing I have heard today. It has always been a brilliant race and this year is no different.

they want it at a later time, a time when it has a very likely chance of rain (which is always heavy in malaysia) so how is it a stupid thing to say?
