When does this finish? or as it?

But sir... he's arrogant!

Brawn soon put them in their place I hear. No love lost between Brawn and Ferrari now, it'll be war!


Super Button. Super Brawn. :-D

Great decision - I love to see Ferrari moan.

I hate any and all attempts of ever trying to make people abide by the intention behind rules or laws. That's completely unreasonable.

The written word, with the minimum possible level of interpretation is what people should relate to. If a wording fails to cover the full intention that's not the teams problem.

The rest of this season will be interesting for sure.

Look at it this way.

If Button wins in China and the car carries on being reliable like it is, it's going to be hard for anyone to beat him (or them). Ferrari's two drivers will be 20/30 odd points behind him if current form carries. McLaren know they're going to do nothing this year. Kubica's car doesn't seem right. Is Toyota really able to challenge? If so, it can be only Glock!

All Brawn will have to do is score consistant points taking the odd win here and there with podiums too (I know I'm stating the obvious).

The way I see it, and I know we're only 3 rounds into an 18 round competiton, but it's Brawns' to lose unless a big team does something drastic. Which could be done, we're talking about Ferrari here. However they have to do it against the old head of Ferrari!!


Certainly will be interesting.

Hamilton fastest on the first free practice... Seems they are moving forward at least.

Hopefully, Ferrari will lag another couple races behind before getting their act together... Which I'm 100% confident both teams will.

In my opinion, the most serious obstacle for another Hamilton championship isn't Brawn or any of their drivers. Far more dangerous is Kubica ans possibly even Vettel.

Renault and McLaren have changed their diffusers.

Ferrari have ditched KERs

Thanks for that useful info - interesting to see where this goes indeed.

as a ferrari fan i am not really suprised at this pace shown so fair, as i can see things started to go down when Brawn left followed by schumacher followed by todt, those three people alone made ferrari what it is, It is going to take along time for ferrari to get back to the force they once were. But bearing in mind Mclaren are in the same boat, Mclaren and Ferrari are the richest teams on the grid so how could they make a monumental mess up of not cracking on with the car til after last season had ended?? After all these are the teams with the best rescouces available. This will take time to get over and i think people think that they will improve this season but i doubt they will. Rumours have it that ferrari have invested an extra 10million into the F60B, so it can be released earlier than expected.
But for the sport as a whole it is good to see teams that wouldnt of had much of a chance winning last year going for it this year, i think the man people should watch this year is Vettel, a champ for the future!!!

What time is the race at on Sunday?

8am

God its about time the European races began! *tired smiley*

but isnt it in china.

Or are you trying to say that after this race, the European races start!

I quite like the races being on at this time. My children are always up at 6am....


Well that's what F1 should be like. Qualy 2, 1st-14th, only 0.5sec split them.

Looking at the top of the grid, it's close.

I feel Red Bull can go on to win, Vettel inparticular is in outstanding form, as previously seen. It's going to be close though - no room for mistakes by anyone.

I think Alonso getting second, even if he is light, is the nail in Piquet's coffin. Rightfully so too. Shouldn't be in F1.

Looking forward to tomorrow!

Webber for pole, he deserves one as well

Wow, vettel pole, alonso 2nd and webber 3rd!

Well done Red bull!

Super drive from Vettel. I think it would have been different if both Brawn's had been tried and tested on a wet track, however the Red Bull just looked the better car either way.

Hopefully the season will stay like this, super competitive at the minute.

omgggggggg wat such a boring race
wasting my time

How was it boring? If you think drivers racing in the wet with gaps as close as they are is boring then your watching the wrong sport......

i thought it was an excellent race, obviously you don't follow F1's that much rob.

Superb drive from red bull hopefully they change challenge brawn this yr (the Ferrari and Mclaren team of this year).

Massa has had a bad run lately, gotten rid of the KER's because it wasn't working they wanted it to, i can bet you next week they will have changed their diffusers, but hammy did well though, he was a bit to agressive, if he wasn't he might of had a better placing at the end of the race.

It is gonna be an exciting season!

Yes for sure! Vettel deserves this so much.

Also keep in mind that despite looking strong, the red bulls have the conservative diffuser design and will probably improve further compared to the brawns in the races to come.

Vettel must have been like a Bull in a China shop He was Flying, he must be Drinking the success right now!

(ok i give up!)
