Quote from n-murray :

Hi guys I'm Just making a reprt on the driver S.M can i just say that I went very well in qualifying but then in the race S. M started last due to late regerstration i think and i didn't see him but i would say he was driving like a mad man because when he reached me he dived down my inside from MILES away and i had already turned in and was on the curn at that stage and he hit the backl of my car and i half flipped and lost lots of time. I forgot to save a replay so i cant attach 1 now so if you have one please look at it and tell me what you think.

again sry for that
i actually braked a bit earlier than my usual braking point
just didnt expect u to go that slow in the corner
but yea its still my fault

i wanted to give place back but u were practically standing still

u didnt lose any other places i think tho?

sry for the late confirm ;\ kinda missed the thread

Quote :

Deadline for Confirmations is 17:30 UTC on Saturday, 4th April. As per the regulations, the penalty for failure to confirm in time is a start from the back of the grid.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

it only rains in the evenings there tho (well mostly)

but since the race starts late, we might get dry start and wet ending
would be awesome

Quote from pacesetter :

Really? Cos when he was team principal there he just sat on his arse all day?

aye lol

i thought he was just the 'manager' of the team or something
not having anything to do with the desin of aerodynamics etc of the car

guess i was wrong

Quote from 5haz :

Button and Rubens don't impress me as much as Ross Brawn himself though, he can probrably be held largely responsible for turning that team around, perhaps this is his next 'Ferrari'.

brawn didnt actually design the car lol

he just bought the team since he knew the car was good

Likes: the weather here... lots of sun
still a tad too cold tho

Dislikes:
biorhytm ****ed up again

Quote from Starblue :

Melbourne fastest laps:
http://www.fia.com/public/f1_media/aus09_race_laps.pdf

And a link to view all laptimes:
http://channelf1.net/timing.php

Using those laptimes, I tried to get a rough estimate of "race pace"... so I calculated the average of each driver's top 20 laps.

Best Top 20 Laps Average of each team:
Button 1:28,375
Vettel 1:28,486
Kubica 1:28,867
Robserg 1:29,105
Raikkonen 1:29,265
Trulli 1:29,571
Hamilton 1:29,668
Sutil 1:29,673
Alonso 1:29,704
Buemi 1:29,934

It looks like only RBR was really on BGP pace, and BGP didn't push on softs during the last stint.
Obviously a simple average like this cannot tell exactly team strenghts, but I think it gives an interesting overview of how teams performed on Melbourne.

dont forget button, and vettel too mostly had a clear road in front of them for most of the race, whereas the rest of the field had to drive behind a slower car at some point in the race

so imo u cant judge a drivers performance on his avg laptimes

Quote from hyntty :

Well, at least I don't think we've ever sent the safety car in front of the 2nd place guy, so that everyone but the leader can go round one more time...

i think ur confusing webber's redbull with vettel

rosberg deserves atleast one vote here imo

hes a fast/solid driver
and his car got pace
williams just needs to get it right next races

*** nakajima tho

Quote from Intrepid :

KERS only helps cars with it vs cars without it. Once everyone has it then it will be status quo again.

Seeing Rosberg stuck behind Beumi aslso showed the new downforce rules may not have produced the racing promised. The tyres/KERS made the difference.

I would much prefer proper real racing but hey ho.

rosberg did some other nice passes tho
like on raikonen

but those probably had to do more with the tyres
williams just had tyre strategy all wrong imo

they wont in next race !

i say kubica

who the f* voted for sutil and piquet?

it was a good race imo
im happy for brawn

vettel and kubica are the fastest drivers of the field imo
both with slower cars coming not far from the win
and then taking eachother out lol

williams a bit of messing it up and bad luck combined
better next race

gj brawn

woot williams

couldnt have hoped for a better FP result

good luck guys

i smell a patch coming!
(not?)

this one is pretty good

anyone reading naruto manga?

latest chapters have been quite awesome ^^

nope im not a narutard.. i just like the storyline

Quote from strobe :

i'll be supporting them for the same reason i support williams. Independence. Racing.

Some of the other teams are there just to make their corporate masters look better. They're there to provide a halo effect for other brands in the same corporate empire. Williams and brawn are just there to race.

+9000

reupload pls photophucket deleted it

cant wait for the race

my prediction:

1. Kubica
2. Raikonen
3. Button

crossing my fingers for williams tho ^^

Updated singup post with hotlap

kers gives around 0.3s / lap advantage
(50-80 extra hp for around 6 secs / lap)
depending on the track ofcourse

the thing is.. bmw has been working on kers way longer than the other teams have been. thats why ferrari didnt like it
and thats why i think bmw will be fighting for champ

oh and im not a bmw-fan!

hmm im expecting bmw to fight for the championship this season
probably with ferrari, maybe mclaren or even brawn
they got a huge advantage with the KERS in races
