Toad 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Isn't it officially entered as Honda already? Hence the Brawn name not really meaning a lot. I know very little about F1, just what I pick up here and there, I have a colleague who is a marshall in his spare time and will be working at Melbourne, as well as meeting the fella from Mclaren. Personally, I find F1 dull, and would rather be seeing how long it takes me to burn my scrotum on a candle than watching the "sport". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corozin 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Well here you go, turns out it was just a bit of pre-season bullsh*t to wake the tabloids up ahead of the first GP http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/ma ... stem-delay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vwdeviant 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Stewards have passed all 3 team's cars to race this weekend... Despite protests by... Redbull Renault BMW/Sauber Ferrari (quel surprise!) So It looks like all results from Aus and Malaysia will be up in the air until a meeting in Paris... AGAIN! :brickwall: :epicfail: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corozin 0 Posted March 26, 2009 Well it was almost inevitable that with the huge rule changes there would be some significant pram-shaking from anyone who came out of design and realised they'd missed a trick or two. Back in the 1960s & 1970s whenever a big technical or design leap was invented everyone would be pissed off about it but accept that someone else had come up with a smart idea and just try and catch up as soon as they could. These days they just phone thier lawyers and protest. Should be a good race this weekend. Will be interesting to see if the Brawn car really has got the minerals it's been promising in testing. john Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vwdeviant 0 Posted March 27, 2009 Best Quote from BBC's website: The McLarens of Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen look about as threatening as a tortoise in a sandpit at the moment PMSL! GO ON BRAUN! :clap: Also so nice to see Williams making a recovery as well after years in the doldrums... IF today's practice is anything to go by, could be a very good year for F1!
