On our hopes for 2009

its troff wrote:You watch...the drivers championship will go to someone who isn't driving a red car.

Selective Rogue wrote:GO Brawn GP and stuff it in Red Bulls Face!

On the (really rather good) Abu Dhabi (not Dubai...) GP

nicky wrote:And imagine this 'Abu Dubai GP'. A sh*t track with a championship thats already decided, and there isnt even a drivers championship any more, the other drivers wont be in any sort of position, and cant aim to beat other drivers etc.

nicky wrote:Abu Dhabi will be a s**t track, after all, no matter how many flashy buildings it sogt, its still a Tilkedrome.

nicky wrote:Abu Dhabi sucks. Thats not a race track, thats a damn leisure facitility with a really bad race track going through it. The track itself is horrendous! Look at that tight hairpin with the chicane before it! The many many 90 degree corners and chicanes. Its hideous!

On the possible stars of 2009

On McLaren's 'Performance Shortfall' (copyright Martin Whitmarsh) pre-season

nicky wrote:haha, verbal sandbagging by Hammy, im sure he will get some points.

ckBrenneke wrote:I HOPE HAMILTON LOSES BADLY.

Have I mentioned this before?

On KERS

nicky wrote:cant wait! Hopefully there will be some sort of KERS graphic on the TV, showing how much each driver has, or when its being used.

Richy59 wrote:I just saw the Kers graphic and it shows when they battery is depleting. Not the best graphic to show it off tbh. Just a picture of a battery which is either full of empty...defo not the flaming tyre marks I was expecting

racelegend MB1 wrote:i dont think KERS or the areo package has improved the overtaking. Just another unneccseary expense!

On Melbourne practice

ckBrenneke wrote:
Both McLarens at the bottom of the table.

Massa, Raikkonen, Alonsa and Kubica all languishing outside the top 10.

Force India's Sutil lapping higher than the Ferraris!

And Webber, Barrichello and Trulli all in the top 5?

WHAT IS GOING ON!?

Selective Rogue wrote:Cant wait till quali 2mw, can see how much ferrari were sandbaging and lets see if we can get a brawn gp 1-2 on pole, i expect hamilton to be 5th or so (or maybe not lol)

On Melbourne Qualy

PLOW The Mackem wrote:Button and Barrichello will run away with this tomorrow.

On how bad some predictions can be... (Malaysian GP)

ckBrenneke wrote:I reckon Raikonnen will take this one. Button to break down.

On how right some predictions can be...

racelegend MB1 wrote:Go Jenson Button! - he wont win much once the other teams have caught up with Brawn.

On Formula Stillborn

Jenson09 wrote:OMG OMG OMG FOTA ARE SPLITTING AWAY FROM F1!!!!!

BRM sbiggs wrote:TBH i still dont think it will happen...

i redbeard wrote:
Selective Rogue wrote:Right guys I think tonight we will see Bernie step in and maybe presude FOTA to stay, if they do break away, were going to have another indy/champ car issue, fingers corssed and hopefully they will get max out they way.

I think persuading went out of the window:

FIA to sue over breakaway attempt.

Formula One's governing body, the FIA, says it will begin legal proceedings over plans to set up a rival world championship next year.

On the awesomeness that is Brundle

gen3ral ts0 wrote:lol i love martin brundle.

legard: speaking of refueling, they are dropping it in the new regulations for next year
brundle: shame really...
legard: why?
brundle: because it's an added dimension to the race.
legard: but what about the drivers that can nurse a car to the end of the race...be easy on the tires with a full load of fuel on board...
brundle: ehhhhh then they can go drive someplace on sunday afternoon...this is about attacking.
legard: fine, thank you for that.

On the rubbishness that is Legard

i redbeard wrote:I just hate Legard! For pretty much the whole of the Australian GP I had this mental image of Martin Brundle sat in the commentary box with Alan Partridge.
