Formula 1

so the season starts, with histroic win from Brawn. Mclaren got caught with some hanky panky and Ferrari is whinging as usual.

I dont think Brawn supermacy will last for more than 3 races at most and ferrari for sure and possible mclaren will catch up to them.

The only reason Button won is because he's finally trimmed his huge beard... all that hair was weighing him down....

Re: Formula 1

So, Hamilton and Mclaren in another controversy… … the rule book is definitely at fault. Both Trulli and Hamilton were not sure what the procedure was and we know Hamilton asked for advice, lets assume Trulli did also, we haven’t heard Trulli to Toyota radio.

Charlie Whiting is the one who had all of the relevant information and if the rule book was clear about full course yellow procedure the system should be flexible enough to allow the chaotic situation to settle down before the race stewards start pointing fingers at those they believe have done wrong.

Neither drivers did anything wrong and during the yellow flag the Race Officials could easily have settled who should have been 3rd and 4th, just like they do in US Indie Car Racing. Full course yellows and safety cars are used to ensure safety of drivers marshalls and recovery vehicles so the race officials should take complete control of yellow flag situations until its safe to race again, none of this enquiry rubbish should have happened, and the fact of the matter is that it just brings the whole sport down to a big finger pointing exercise and makes it a waste of time watching the race because the stewards choose to use vague rules to manipulate the result…

This kinda stuff never happened in the great ‘Damon Hill days’… I don’t think i’ll be watching the Malaysian Grand Prix :snooty:

Re: Formula 1

hmmm, Hamilton amid yet another controversy (this time no Ferrari in sight). And apparently this time he (or McLaren) lied to the officials. Further confirmation that it indeed was McLaren's fault (and not of the stewards, or Ferrari) comes from the fact that McLaren has suspended their sporting director because of this episode (he has been with McLaren for 30-odd years)

Re: Formula 1

Ferrari is just squeeky clean innit ;)

Re: Formula 1

It’s such a sorry sight to see Ferrari and McLaren regularly in the second half of the time sheets :bummer:

Man, I really miss Schumacher …

Re: Formula 1

analyzing schumi’s technique versus others:

Re: Formula 1

it will change, ferrari and mclaren are not who they are because they are stodgy and slow. a couple more races and they would catch up. and then it goes to the skill of the drivers and sorry to bandwagon button fans, but he is technically not as good as kimi, massa, hamilton or alonso(yeah i know he is not with ferrari yet)

You may see mclaren already edgign up, chinese grandprix is one example, and how both redbull drivers are above both drivers for Brawn. I think mclaren and ferrari were too caught up in teh whoel spygate row last year to ficus on next seasn and new desing requirements. what I can guarantee is if they are not top finishes by the end of this season ..which they will be…they will bounce back like anything next year

Another great win for Button today.

Re: Formula 1

mclaren get a slap on the wrist, mostly it seems because the basic fued between max and ron is over and ron walked away.

lets see..

Button is on fire, at this pace he will seal the championship halfway in the season.
