Hi, welcome to the forum Markitus.

, friendly word of advice though, You ~~might~~ definatly want to edit that last word

I dnt think Alonso will ever go to Ferrari, Thats what they've got Kimi and Massa, two great drivers. And I wouldnt say Alonso is rubbish, He's won 2 world championship, He's just an arrogant selfish B****** who doesnt like Hamilton.

and by the way, I support Hamilton!

I assume you mean today against Watford, I went and we did try very hard, good game for the most part except the scoring bit. I hope Pompey stay up aswell, good win over Everton, well deserved. anyways, back to F1....

I hope Williams will be competitive again, I support them as well!

Ncena1 · « **Reply #31 on:** March 21, 2009, 20:59:14 »

i think this year will only be Ferrari vs McLaren

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #32 on:** March 21, 2009, 21:36:58 »

Naaah, I think we'll see more teams getting in the mix for race wins like BMW, Brawn, Renault maybe even Williams and red bull (i hope). I expect the title to be between ferrari and Mclaren in the end though, but it would be good If we could get to half way through the seaosn with drivers like Hamilton, Raikkonen, Massa, Alonso, Kubica, heidfeld (of whom Im a big fan), Button, Rosberg, Vettel all in with a chance.

dont know why the fianle is in Abu Dhabi though, would prefer it to be in Brazil, what an atmosphere there is at that track-Incredible! Samba Sao paulo!

Having watched it now for 18 years, I honestly think we're currently experiencing the best of Formula One that I've ever seen. History is very kind to the era when people like Damon Hill (who deserves to be a legend just for Hungary 1997!) where at their best. I wish I could've seen Prost and Senna go at it live, but I can't complain. I got to see Michael Schumacher make himself a sporting icon, and the many people he battled before he left (Hill, Villeneuve, Hakkinen, Montoya, Raikkonen and finally Alonso). Now there's a handful of drivers that could easily take the title this year as long as their car holds up, and the car with number 1 on the front is being driven by an Englishman again. I can't wait for Friday.

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #34 on:** March 22, 2009, 08:41:48 »

The previous two schumacher-less years have been epic. We are having the best times of F1 since ever actually, Although the 70s were great for their small team entries and huge entry lists they used to have then.

But in terms of excitment and closeness in the final standings then the last two seasons have been incredible! and the best. Hope its like than again, and I want to be on the edge of my seat again all through the season, like I was last year!

Live Friday Practice

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #36 on:** March 27, 2009, 17:38:09 »

so from watching practice, Ferrari, Williams, Brawn, Toyota and possibly Red Bull in the winners mix for the race.

Looks like Mclaren could see a few races before being challenging again this year, and this could make Hamilton very far away from the championship, so for the next few races:

COMMON ROSBERG! hope BMW and Button do well on suday aswell, but we'll have to see.............

Ncena1 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 27, 2009, 19:16:33 »

At first i could not belive that Rosberg was first! But i've noticed that his winning chances aren't that bad!

:newcaptain:

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #38 on:** March 27, 2009, 21:19:29 »

Such a good driver Rosberg, could finally have a car to prove it. I dont know why, but I take a shine to the germans, Rosberg, Heidfeld, Vettel and BMW.

Of course I like Lewis and Jensen more but there is something about F1s german brigade thats likable. Plus Mclaren and Brawn use Mercedes engines. And rosberg drives for Williams, who I love as well. Im supporting the Brits and the germans this year, hoorah!

oh,and just the one finn in Raikkonen, and an Aussie in Webber. YAY!

Ncena1 · « **Reply #39 on:** March 27, 2009, 22:14:41 »

Not much left to support

nah, i think that this year could be one of the most exciting seasons ever!

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #40 on:** March 28, 2009, 08:37:12 »

Hah! all Brawn front row, JACKPOT! Well done to Jenson and all at Brawn for pulling off what is a miracle, in about 2 weeks! F1-just beautiful.

Jayshum · « **Reply #41 on:** March 28, 2009, 08:45:15 »

Chain, BBC, DC and Eddie Jordan were amazing, Jonathan Legard is the first good replacement for Murray Walker yet, practise commentary from David Croft and Anthony Davidson was amazing, and then we see a Brawn 1-2 followed by Vettel and Kubica.

And the race hasn't even started. I honestly can't believe how good this is looking, not just the F1 itself, but how good the BBC are pulling it off. One very happy, very tired man about to go to bed.

I couldnt agree more Jayshum, apart from the bed bit, pah! I've got a busy day today, I dont need rest. But the BBC were truly brilliant and there was even some good banter between Humphreys, Jordan and DC. great all round weekend this is turning out to be, even if Lewis will start 15th.

We've got another Brit to liven things up.........

Lewis Hamilton has been given a 5 place grid penalty for changing his gearbox after he lost drive in Q2.
Both Toyota cars have been disqualified from qualifying, so they are starting from the back, from the pit lane.

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #44 on:** March 30, 2009, 07:14:37 »

BUTTON=WINNER!!!!

The Brawn 3 week miracle has just happened.

Need I say more?

How the stewards came to the conclusion that vettel was the only one that caused it is beyond me.
As Michael said "He (Vettel) was on the inside - he couldn't make his car dissolve into thin air,"
Kubica was a bit above himself for trying to overtake and not giving much space for Vettel.
Brundle did say there would be a crash there only just before it happened on British Tv coverage.

Ncena1 · « **Reply #47 on:** March 30, 2009, 14:26:43 »

i also think that it was Kubicas fault but the german moderators were pretty sure that is was vettels fault

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #48 on:** March 30, 2009, 16:57:39 »

kubica just didnt give Vettel enough room. I think the punishment was more for the driving 2 laps with 3 wheels rather than causing the crash

The ten place grid demotion for the start of the Malaysian GP was for the crash.. The stewards confirmed that.

The $50,000 fine was paid by the team, as it was the team that instructed Vettel to keep going with a heavilly damaged car that was only running on 3 wheels.
