ohhh shiz here we gooooo..
wowwserz what a crash lol
webbers a mad man
yeah what a move aye..
oh ffs webber has the worst luck lol
he's up in 3rd tho now
^^ oh wait i take that back lol
Cmon double brawn failure haha
loooolllll massa and ferrari hahahahaha
lol at massa having to save fuel at the end
man did you notice that cf crossed the finish line a lap down when button did, suck shit cf haha
Brawn dominating... yup yup!!!
anyone else think team orders came into play? Rubens just seemed to drop right off the pace after the first stint to the convenience of Button!
maybe..but didnt you hear that they change buttons strategy after the safety car?
probably to help him win, because rubens said he was disappointed after he heard that during the race
yeah man... but because the teams are actually not allowed to issue team orders, the teams just do it discreetly. Even though I support JB, RB should've had that win IMO... Though no credit taken away from JB!
I tell you what though, supporting the Brackley squad from B.A.R Honda, to Honda Racing F1, to BRAWN GP is finally paying off! About time we had some victories... lol :)
Oh, and when Smedley was telling Massa to conserve his fuel, and Massa's flipping out.. Thought Smedley was gonna say "Felipe baby, stay koool!!" again. lol GG!
^lol @ filipe baby stay cool
and **** button, rubens should hav won barca
yeah imo that was barra's race..
none the less good job by brawn.. i hope later on though they dont start executing 'team orders'
nice drive by webber too..
i call bullshit on the team orders theory...
basically buttons was switched to a two stopper so that he would avoid Rosberg.... if he had continued on with a 3 stopper.. he woulda come out right behind rosberg (who was on a much longer stint)... n hence woulda held him up...
for one reason or another Rubens just didnt slam in the lap times when required.. if he had.. he woulda come out comfortably infront of button...
not taking anything away from Rubens... but i dun think the team deliberately favoured button... well not @ this stage of the season anyway...
u gota take into account that there is competition within the team too.. between Jensons crew and Rubens' crew...
Missed this one, whens the replay on ONE HD?
Felipe baby!!!!!!
lmao
Ferrari really need to get their act together..... ffs....
Is Webber ever going to win a race? man, feel for the man...
he was starting to catch rubens at the end of the race.
I say he's got it in him, but imo if he's going to win he needs to get pole in qualy
Felipe Massa is a fkn tool, he held up Sebastian Vettel for the whole race, and when he was 18s in front of Alonso (10-13 laps to go) his team tell him to race economically (i.e. short shifts) he ignores them and keeps holding up vettel until 4 laps, when he decides to start driving economically to save fuel so he didn't have to pit again. Fkn stupidest decision ever I fkn hate Massa so fkn much fkn tool, If only the stupid fk didn't have KERS Vettel would have won the race. After Vettel passed he was 2-3s faster than Jenson Button. If only. Good win by Brawn GP i rkn BAR was robbed and Brawn haxed the race so BUT won. pretty rat.
just watching the motorsport news on one hd.. they were saying ferrari are pulling out of next years f1 for the first time in 60 years due to the budget restrictions imposed by the FIA, what a bunch of pussies.
lol you serious?
I heard something about if the rules dont change that toyota are pulling out as well
its not confirmed but it looks like they will, i think its an excuse to take time out redevelop a car and come back like brawn style!
anyway this is what omnisport tv had just said (euro sport show)
ai i saw it too
ferrari will pull out if the rules changes stay
omfg
if ferrari quit next year..............they will prove that they are the biggest bunch of ****headed kunts in the world
links please
i will reserve any further judgement
all politics boys...
theres not way Bernie will let this happen...
the main gripe the teams have is with the 'two tier' system... meaning the guys on the voluntary 40mil pound budget caps will have much more freedoms in car development... while the un-budgeted teams will be hugely restricted...
so far Red Bull... Toyota... Ferarri have said they'd pull out.... n BMW ..Renault.. n Merc mite too... if the rules for 2010 stay...
the only teams that will probably stay are Williams...Force India.. and Brawn...
but theres no way Mr Bernie will let Ferarri (not to mention the manufacturers) quit...
the most likely scenario is that the rules WILL be changed for 2010....
so we can all relax....
EDIT: btw... i think MAX MOSLEY should be shot... hes totally ruining the sport... i reckon hes out to destroy F1... its just ridiculous the shit hes been pulling outa his ass lately (rule changes etc)...
another thing to note... Raikkonen commented in Barcelona that he will quit the sport next year (if the 2010 rules stick)... his comments were "this isnt F1"... n i agree 100% with him....
fkn Max Mosley... i hate that cu*t with a passion...

Ferrari's Board of Directors, chaired by Luca di Montezemolo, held a meeting on Tuesday at their Maranello headquarters to discuss business matters, but high on the order were the recent decisions taken by the FIA's World Motor Sport Council regarding the controversial budget cap option beginning next year.
Under the 2010 regulations, teams opting to limit their budgets to 45 million Euros ($60m US) would enjoy much greater technical freedom than other teams, effectively creating a 'two-tier' series within Formula One.
Many teams find the matter unacceptable as it currently stands, and the FIA's deadline of May 29th in order to file entries for the 2010 championship only added pressure to an already volatile situation with some teams speaking of boycotts.
Today Ferrari has boldly stated that, unless common ground can be found, it will retire from Formula One at the end of the current season.
Speaking of the WMSC decisions, a Ferrari statement indicated that "for the first time ever in Formula 1, the 2010 season will see the introduction of two different sets of regulations based on arbitrary technical rules and economic parameters."
"The Board considers that if this is the regulatory framework for Formula 1 in the future, then the reasons underlying Ferrari's uninterrupted participation in the World Championship over the last 60 years – the only constructor to have taken part ever since its inception in 1950 – would come to a close."
A long-standing point of conflict has been the FIA's tendency to move ahead with its plans without – from the teams' point of view – taking the considerations forwarded by the teams under serious review.
"The Board also expressed its disappointment about the methods adopted by the FIA in taking decisions of such a serious nature and its refusal to effectively reach an understanding with constructors and teams," the Ferrari press release continued.

"The rules of governance that have contributed to the development of Formula 1 over the last 25 years have been disregarded, as have the binding contractual obligations between Ferrari and the FIA itself regarding the stability of the regulations."
The Formula One Teams Association is not against the principle of budget capping but many teams have been lobbying against the 'two-tier' system on the basis that the sport, like any sport, should have identical regulations for everyone involved. Now Ferrari calls for a change in the way F1 is governed as well.
"The same rules for all teams, stability of regulations, the continuity of the FOTA's endeavours to methodically and progressively reduce costs, and governance of Formula 1 are the priorities for the future," Ferrari affirm.
"If these indispensable principles are not respected and if the regulations adopted for 2010 will not change, then Ferrari does not intend to enter its cars in the next Formula 1 World Championship."
"Ferrari trusts that its many fans worldwide will understand that this difficult decision is coherent with the Scuderia's approach to motor sport and to Formula 1 in particular, always seeking to promote its sporting and technical values. The Chairman of the Board of Directors was mandated to evaluate the most suitable ways and methods to protect the company's interests," the statement concludes.

They arent just leaving because of the salary cap, its because of all the stupid fkn changes (i.e. they want to get rid of re-fuelling.....), and there is a breach in contract with the FIA which states there in untill 2012 and in this time there can't be a salary cap, Its not just ferrari its also Toyota.Quote:

I rkn Ferrari are bluffing but toyota i don't know, ferarri have said this once before in 1986 when they said they would pull out enter le mans instead, but the FIA and ferrari worked something out.
Max Mosly needs to hold the fk up, and stop changing so much fkn shit, the fkn NAZI Rapist needs to fkn resign. I shouldn't be so harsh consodering his son just died last week on overdosage of drugs but I am not happy JAN.
What ferrari is doing is good, I agree with them, It sort of forces the FIA to stop making such drastic changes, if the salary cap goes through and ferrari don't participate next year, GG to f1, can you imagine how many MUZZA'S wont have a team to support, how many supporters will stop watching, I like ferrari's stance on this, IF WE GO DOWN YOUR COMING WITH US.
lol 60million is what most teams spend on designing the front spoiler
its true... F1 will lose a huge amount of viewers... im not talkin bout the die hard fans ... but the every day joe blow that switchs on the tele when the aust gp is on to watch Ferarri...Quote:

all the above is exactly why Bernie will not let this happen..
Nah, that's for the locknut that they use.Quote:

Renault could be the next car manufacturer to threaten to quit Formula One at the end of 2009.
Ferrari, F1's oldest and most famous name, sent the specialist and mainstream media into a spin on Tuesday by announcing that the FIA's budget cap plans for 2010 will lead to its withdrawal from the sport.
Toyota and Red Bull have made similar threats, while Mario Theissen said last week that the new regime would likely lead to the BMW board reassessing its commitment to F1.

Le Figaro is a leading French morning daily, and it claims: "According to our information, Renault will announce the same decision (as Ferrari's) on Wednesday."

GG F1 if this goes through. Max you need to wake the fk up, ferrari spent $600m AUD last year on their formula one car and you want to bring it down to ~ $100m AUD???? No refueling???? get your head out of your arse..
imo the whole no refueling thing is not so bad...
it'll be like bak in the turbo days... n who knowz.. .mite even push engine makers to develop more efficient engines...
imo the no refueling is sht because re-fueling gives teams much more variables to play with (weight and pit stop times) when planning their strategy and just makes the sport that much more interesting to watch.
Reminds me of that year where tyre changes were not allowed. That was a shit year. hahahaQuote:

It would level the playing field in qualifying and make driver skill more important than race strategy.
The engineers would also have to put fuel economy at the top of their list which is run a HUGE fuel tank and throw economy out the window lol.
Button on pole!!! :D

But after doing 77 laps its just more lol
Wonder what williams was telling him after the race
I think he got bored and wanted to drift, you can see he ripped up the handbrake to get the back end out to initialise the drift but couldn't keep the drift angle so he lost it into the tyre wall...:pQuote:

button looks the fav atm... but hes on the dirty side .. so start will be important...
wow.........less than 10 laps in and barrichello is having a shocker of a race.......
poor barri =(
i like this duel between button and vettel, pretty awesome.......but i feel sorry for barrichello............screwed up bad......
go webber!
button again, unstoppable
yeah .. but at least webber beat vettel
stupid kid gave the race to button lol jk jk
Barrichello's mistakes are not really acceptable... how can he sacrifice his car parts just to attack that aggressively when he is not close enough to realistically overtake?!
Very unfortunate start for Barrichello! He was probably pushing so hard out of desperation, he is drifting further away from Button with every race and now that error has really made his work for the championship that much harder...
Button is just steaming along... so good to see him winning so consistently and with great confidence after all the struggles over 07-08.
RBR ruined Vettel's strategy... I think the 2 stopper for Vettel would have been fine and guaranteed 2nd, possibly challenge JB for 1st.
Great day for Webber!! Always good to see him get up their... he really needs to hurry up and win! lol
good job webber, someone stop button!
webber ftw !!!
button the next schumacher
yeh ralph
pffft his only winning because all the other cars are s**t now... :DQuote:
