Chinese GP 2009 - Race 3/17

Rubens is gonna work his way up the field with his front wing as a ramming device

Predictions:

Alonso will start on Super Softs and do a very short first stint.
Hamilton and Buemi have the heaviest fuel loads, followed by Kimi.

Red Bull and Brawn are running similar fuel loads.

I think vettel and alonso are fuelled light. Button, Barrichelo and webber on same fuel loads.

Nice laps by RBR & Alonso. Just hope they are reliable.

I think vettel and alonso are fuelled light. Button, Barrichelo and webber on same fuel loads.

Button, Barrichello and Vettel are all a second slower than Q2, so I figure them on similar loads. Webber might be slightly heavier. Alonso is just 0.5 secs down on Q2; I figure him on a very short first stop.

See now as a woman I say DC's shirt suits him.........
*hides*

DC is a woman?

DC is a woman?

Correct.

Yeah, plus I don't think Brawn ever fuels light? going by Buttons comments and the timings I'm sure they're fuelled heavier, guessing around 5/6 laps longer.

 

[knip]

DC is a woman?

No but I am, and all the blokes in this thread had slagged it off, and so I gave my opinion from a female perspective.

A fugly one at that...

[Locke]

Is that why Coulthard crashed all the time....

 

[poosemon]

Fixed...

 

[Lopéz]

Excellent performance from RBR. Let's see if Brawn have an answer when it comes to the race.

Piquet must be a bit red-faced to see Alonso putting an identical car to his on the front row...

 

[Aero]

Should line up to be a good race tomorrow tbh. It will be interesting to see how quickly alonso goes out. I think trulli could be a bit of a dark horse, he's crept up there and sat well within the mix.
