RB about to crash. Starting the countdown now at 120 seconds.....

very good in car footage on the red button though

Psycho Ned · 7 Jun 2009 at 13:22

Rubens has the red mist down big time, he clearly don't give a **** who he runs into now

Lol @ RUbens again!! Ploughing into Sutil.

Some very impressive driving by Sutil also.

Gonna have to change his front wing now...

Into the pits for Bumpercar

NathanE · 7 Jun 2009 at 13:23

What?! Talking of black flagging him for a bit of flapping CF on the front wing? But they didn't black flag Kimi's exhaust pipe last year?

philjohn · 7 Jun 2009 at 13:23

Wait, no 7th, but the telemetry overview showed him going into it?

Looks like it left some shards of crap on track right on bend when the car is front loaded because of braking, Here come the Punctures.

Ive just had to turn the volume on the TV up due to the rain!

Had 10 mins of hail, but no rain and it's dried up.

pretty speedy stop for brawn to replace that nose/tires/fuel

4T5 · 7 Jun 2009 at 13:25

They should have put a bumper on the nose prior to fitting though as Barri is at Ramming speed today.

"try to brake less in the final corner" ...haha

I think Brawn realised front wings would be in the wars in 2009 a bit so focused a bit of dev time on the strength and ease-of-replacement of them...

While Rubens' driving is pretty crazy, it makes it a so much more entertaining race.

Kitchster_uk · 7 Jun 2009 at 13:26

What an amazing race br RB - plenty of entertainment!!!

Just had a thought, what difference would there be if FOTA did pull out this year and we didn't have the likes of Ferrari and McLaren winning races, wouldn't that be like Brawn GP, Redbull and Toyota running at the front....??? We have three new or newer teams up there anyway!!!

(btw, do think it would be bad for F!, but playing devil's advocate)

I think it might just be struggling to change into it properly, or not working right. He doesn't seem to be loosing top end, but he is dropping off getting up to the top speed on that back straight despite slipstream.

Ceryndrion · 7 Jun 2009 at 13:28

Button in.. on schedule unlike the opinion of the retard in the commentary box
