2009 F1 Season

[NISMO]

Zandvoort = Dead.

Estoril = Dead.

Jerez = Test whore.

Old Hockenhiem = Dead.

Imola = Dead.

Old Kylami = Dead.

Dijon = Dead.

Paul Ricard = Test whore.

What an awesome list of tracks!

It's amazing how much more the old tracks were fast and flowing compared to now largely "stadium" type tracks. Also all the old tracks literally followed the lay of the land. Add to that list Spa from that era, and what about Interlagos? That track around 1979 was corner after corner and seemed to go for ever. Oh and Buenos Airies (spelling?) the list just goes on.

Kylami would be awesome to watch with current F1 cars on it. It's just so flowing.

Unfortunately sau doesn't let me upload via iPhone, we need an iPhone version for sau asap, I guess facebook will be first, I thought that there was an official release from Honda. Anyway I'll check up on that

Buenos Airies (spelling?)

Buenos Aries

But yeah, I'd love to see F1 go back to places liek Zandvoort and Old Kylami...

Total Awesomeness!

[sav man]

unfortinatuly zandvoort got cut in 1/2 to make way for houses. so it's really to short for formula1 now.

That's what Im talking about. Love Kylami.

From 11 flat out up the hill for hard braking into 12, and then pedal to the ground all the way down to turn 1!

[Marco-R34GTT]

lol... Soz.. But that is Zandvoort!

[Marco-R34GTT]

This is old Kyalami.

The new.

[sh@un]

Yellow Pages, Brilliant Straight, Total and Budget are completely bogus names for parts of a race circuit

[NISMO]

lol... Soz.. But that is Zandvoort!

Woopsy, saw the last 3 corners and they looked very similar :-)

**time to put down the beers**

And according to the Ferrari driver, who lost out to Hamilton by one point, their fellow racers - presumably with the exception of Hamilton's McLaren team-mate - were rooting for him to win.

"Yes, I think so," he told The Guardian when asked if he felt the support of his fellow racers. "I was very happy. They were supporting me because I always respect everybody. I always respect my team and my competitors. I never had problems with anybody."

wow

get off the drugs buddy

you're both jerk off's, you just being less of one doesnt mean anybody is rooting for you champ

[ctjet]

something just occurred to me

all this talk about hammo not being able to set up his on whip really plagued him in 07, and to a lesser extend in 08. Riding on the coat tails of Alnoso's technical knowhow

so anyway

now that Mclaren have no experienced drivers to lean on for advice, outside of DLR of course, i tend to think they're really going to struggle this year

they've been accused of sandbagging in the latest tests

but i think hammo on heikki really are a little overwhelmed at the moment

in the hands on nando at the latest tests, he did no quali simulation and still managed to top the sheets

i dont think lewis is going to be the title 09 contender i thought he was going to be

i hope im wrong

id love to see a four way scrap for the title

but i feel theres going to be problems

The degree to which a driver develops a car is much overstated these days. It used to be true, but with so many sensors, so many simulations & so much testing it is no longer the case.

Basically the engineers develop the car & to a very large degree tell the driver how it should be driven.

Which is how things should be really.

Looks like the Honda F1 team has been sold to the principals.

Must have been a bargain price if Mr Brawn could afford it.

Now all he needs to do is sack both of the grandpa drivers, sign Michael Schumacher and another young german (has Vettel got a cousin that can steer?) and Honda will finally earn some points.

would have much prefered Virgin to get in there

[Marco-R34GTT]

would have much prefered Virgin to get in there

But could it still be called 'Virgin' if it 'got in there'??

Wouldn't 'Clapper Grand Prix' be more appropriate in that case??

[BigDirtyJase]

Well The Brawn-Mercedes team will need sponsors (since I don't know how Honda got through the last two years with their Earthdreams stuff)...Richard Branson could drop money into the team

but i guess it would piss off ferrari...they would whinge that you can't have two teams with red cars...blah blah blah

But...for me I need to watch the first couple of GP's to get use to the 09 cars. it's so radical in terms of changes and design of the cars.

I reckon it will a be another tight championship year...it's either going to be Hamilton, Massa/Raikkonen (depending who's got more points and team orders later in the year), Alonso and Kubica.

I also think that finally this may be the year the Webber will get his first win...and I really hope that Brawn-Mecerdes team will be competative...I really do feel sorry for Jensen Button.
