Great qualifying yet again - especially as the big names from yesteryear arent at the sharp end - just so refreshing...

Completely agree with that.

I think the weights are usually posted at the end of qualifying

Button's really starting to show he's no journeyman.

 

[ps3ud0]

Here comes the sigs

EDIT: EJ far better this weekend - still adding to it but just not so forceful with his opinions...
Question of the weekend - DCs to Stefano 'So hows it like with Kimi, do you find him lazy?'

Lewis saying no new parts from Melbourne why not...

 

[KiNgPiN83]

I just hope Button remembers his moan about Hamilton having it easy because he had the best car last season...

 

[Ceryndrion]

even hamilton getting in on the 'for sure'... grrr

 

[Mr Jack]

Great performances from Button, Vettel and Trulli again Massa and his engineer must be kicking themselves. Disappointing from Barrichello; he's rapidly become a clear second to Button.

 

[Locke]

Sweet go Button!

They may be running Rubens heavier beause he will take a 5 place penalty for a gearbox change. Need to wait for the fuel loads to be published

Yep definitely, looks like 5/6 laps or so atleast extra.

Haha

Looking at the start of this thread, they're weren't that many.

 

[NeilMick]

Nakajima and Piquet shouldn't really be in F1.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

*makes Brawn GP sig*

Piquet shouldn't really be in F1.

Nakajima is alright, Piquet though...
Sigh.
RUBBISH! SEND HIM BACK!


Edit: lol, "Good Morning Ron Dennis."

The problem is with this new tire rules it has made 1 stopping impossible.

 

[ps3ud0]

I think RB will be happy to get off the line well with his 5 place penalty rather than what happened last weekend. He wasnt scared to overtake last weekend and was way too aggressive in parts, so it looks like some DCesqe billards are on again tomorrow and some decent overtaking needed from RB and Im sure he'll deliver...

Truly excited about tomorrow - not for my favoured drivers/teams - Im just genuinely/generally excited and thats just a nice feeling to have about F1 again...

EDIT: Drivers interview really rubbing it in with Vettel there buts hes not really 3rd

Aye, could be running heavier - but I doubt he's running that much heavier.

We shall see, of course.

 

[Stormrider]

Martin Whiticker?

 

[Locke]

Wow Trulli looks shattered
