Grand Prix 2009

[abarron]

So did anyone watch this weeks Australian Grand Prix?

Great start for Brawn GP.

Might mix the season up a little bit.

Looks like my wife might let me watch it this season as i was banned from watching F1 last year.

Completely out of touch with drivers and teams and all the new regs but hopefully after a couple of races i should be up to speed

Was a pretty good race IMO

Felt for Sebastian Vettel and Robert Kubica and thought Barrichello was lucky to get away without a penalty

Sounds like Vettel has been handed a penalty for Malaysia for causing the accident

More bother for McLaren: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/7985669.stm

Not looking good for McLaren at the minute then, have to say iv never liked Lewis Hamilton, i find him smug and rather annoying but he is a superb driver and his arrival did improve F1 overall. Personally i hope Jenson continues with his recent good form....

just as a little side note, this seasons F1 cars are really ugly!! or is it just me

Yeah I don't like the smaller rear week

Shame this weekends race was stopped early but can understand why it was done

Thought it was funny how everyone had about 3 different tyre changes

Disappointing ending to the race yesterday. Is it still whoever wins the most races rather than most points.

well, whoever wins the most races gets the points, no?

It definitely has been a hectic start to the season, what with these new diffusers, disqualifications, and stopages - plus no points yet for ferrari


funny how schumacher got away with all that cheating back in the day and got called the greatest driver alive...

I went ahead and placed my first bet ever on button to win the championship, but looks like all the other teams are gonna get double diffusers now
