F1 2009 Season discussion/development thread

Looks dont matter at all. Performance is everything and in Australia we shall find out what the deal is with all the cars.

I still say that releasing a car this late is a very bad idea, unless Red Bull are VERY confident in their design and have done so to prevent other people from copying their ideas.

With Newey designing there car, they are allowed to be fairly confident.

with almost no testing miles on the new car before OZ i very much doubt they going to finish the race. also once the season starts theres a testing ban. How are they going to test all the new stuff?

Is that the testing ban that seems to about to be abolished due to Kers concerns?

Agreed

So, someone who gets his kicks from speaking German, whips, boots and leather, and who has gained power and refuses to let it go, but lost his sense....

Reminds me of someone... time to post that picture again...

"Last week Sir Fred called me to say it was all nonsense. He was obviously rather embarrassed," revealed Mosley.

"The interesting thing is where it could have come from," he continued. "It has to be someone with some kind of connection to F1. He's got to have some connection with Scotland. He's got to have no understanding of how F1 or the FIA work, and he has to be unusually stupid...

"There's at least one person who ticks all those boxes," he added.

I believe that they will have 2 testing sessions available to them, while the rest of the pack will have 4.

I do agree though, that with such little testing, RedBull are not in a strong position.

Huh? The fact that he has a new girlfriend means Button must be a journeyman?

It shows that he isnt taking his predicament seriously. He is having a high old time in sunny climes, where the rest of his team is worrying about their jobs are are therefore (hopefully) making provisions to deal with a situation of being laid off, should it happen.

Button seems totally relaxed. He just doesnt give a damn. This is exactly what would be expected of a journeyman - if his team goes down the pan, in part due to his own lack of ability to push the car to its limit, he wont give a damn as he doesnt have any real interest in F1. This is why I would love him to go up against Hamilton, as he would get humiliated.

Is this confirmed and is this "ban" what RedBull are hoping for?

I do realise that Newey is held in high regard, but he hasnt produced a brilliant car for quite a while now...leading me to suspect that he no longer is able to design title winning cars.

What else could he actually be doing right now. Sit outside other team offices and beg for a drive?
Whilst I generally agree he hasn't pushed himself for a while I'm not quite sure what he can really be doing now to help his position..
