ferni Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 To all those who said last year that Hamilton needs to prove himself in a crap car (Troy?)... 18th -> 3rd in a crap car... Credit where it's due! Good to see Button win, and Brawn take a 1-2.

Roy Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 He did well to race clean all afternoon and the team got the strategy right. It was a great result, they were there to make their own luck when everybody crashed out Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/250076-2009-f1-season/page/21/#findComment-4507385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDirtyJase Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 To all those who said last year that Hamilton needs to prove himself in a crap car (Troy?)... 18th -> 3rd in a crap car... Credit where it's due! But all the Hamilton bashers will say its the first race and everybody fell down around him. But I'll say well done to Lewis for finshing up so highly. Kudos also goes out to Glock, starting from pit lane and finish 4th is good...But one driver that I would say had a really good drive was Sebastien Buemi of STR. He diced with the big boys and finished 7th for his trouble (for someone that it's his first GP and drive that well on race day - after being 2 seconds a lap slower than the field during practice needs a pat on the back) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/250076-2009-f1-season/page/21/#findComment-4507397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BezerkR32 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 just got back, what a weekend. Anyone who said F1 was dead is kidding themselves. I witnessed the best qualifying session ever on saturday, and a good race, even though it finished under yellow. The Brawn cars were awesome, and yes they made it look effortless, i wish i had some good video to show you Button taking turn 1&2, barely lifted off. Good drive from Kubica up until the brain explosion, he realed Vetell in over the last 3 laps. Also Alonso had a good drive in a slower car. And Credit to Lewis. Also the toyotas who had a tough weekend. i swear the FIA is going to ban something at the end of this grand prix. How can the Brawn GP car be THAT much faster than anyone else. It almost looks effortless.......unless Jensen IS that good.

BezerkR32 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I agree, i was sitting in Brabbam and Vettel had an issue out of turn 1 which gave Kubica a good run, i was surprised he wasnt already infront by turn 3. I was standing on turn 3 when Kubica and Vettel hit eachother and it really looked as though Vettel tried to give Kubica the squeeze. I haven't seen a replay, but I think vettel was trying to shut the door way too late.EDIT: After seeing this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQdiGI7b2dY and http://www.motorchili.com/video/3325/F1-Au...nd-Kubica-crash, I stand by my original comment. Though I do think Rubens deserves a similar penalty.

JUN`R32 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Damn hammo, every trips in front of him people knocking each other out and he takes 3rd gggrrrrr vettel should have just backed off and let koobs through, no point when he would have got him either way in the next few corners as he was on the hard tyres. Damn ferrari's i think they need to get rid of the new team director dominiceli or some crap like that, he looks useless love the new cars though, think they look zippy, not as beastly as last yrs though still look sleek. Brawn GP are damn quick !! Ross Brawn is a magician, to get these cars that quick and have the team running in such a short time and to get 1st & 2nd is amazing !

Could potentially mean they travel (Brawn GP Cargo that is) to the rest of this years events for free Sponsors are attracted to front runners because they get better bag for buck on the TV coverage all over the world. This for Brawn GP alone is a MASSIVE win both on and off the track!
