Formula 1 2009

Bit like both Martin and Ron missing all the spy stuff :)

Its possible but I doubt it tbh. But the FIA yet again are making this into a witch hunt and worse than it really needs to be.

Would they be doing the same to Renault, Williams, Ferrari probably not!
 
I still think Max/FIA have an idea.

If Mclaren get banned there is a bog chance Merc will leave, this will leave 3 teams with no engine.

But hang on here comes Max with his cheap engine that not many teams want, but now he has 3 teams with no engine that need his engine. Hope you follow what I am getting at.
 
The Diffusers are LEGAL :p

Formula1.com said:
The FIA International Court of Appeal (ICA) has rejected protests against the diffusers used by the Brawn, Toyota and Williams teams, after concluding that their ‘double decker’ designs comply with the 2009 regulations.

BMW Sauber, Ferrari, Red Bull and Renault had all questioned the legality of the diffusers, but following Tuesday’s hearing in Paris, the ICA decided that race stewards in Australia and Malaysia had made the right call in declaring them legal.

Full statement from the FIA:
The FIA International Court of Appeal has decided to deny the appeals submitted against decisions numbered 16 to 24 taken by the Panel of the Stewards on 26 March at the 2009 Grand Prix of Australia and counting towards the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship.

Based on the arguments heard and evidence before it, the Court has concluded that the Stewards were correct to find that the cars in question comply with the applicable regulations.

Thats great news.

Ferrari and RBR will have to design whole new rear ends to their cars as they can not fit the different diffuser.

Renault and Mclaren will be fitting them this weekend.
 
Bollocks, I was hoping they would be ruled illegal so the sport become a farce.
 
Mclaren back off the pace in the 2nd session lol.

Them Brawn cars are just in a different world, they are doing times on the 4th lap that others are not doing on fresh tyres.

Ferrari just looked so bad, Kimi was off the road more than on it.
 
Maybe McLaren were trying something different in the 2nd practice seeing as both cars were a good bit back. Just have to wait until qualifying to see how much difference there is with the car. The last thing I want to see is McLaren running away with every race.

Also If Lewis is running the new parts now does he have to stick with them all weekend :?: .
 
Kovy also used the new front wing in the 2nd session, Lewis had his best lap messed up by Sutil spinning.
 
Lol, Briatore's had a go at Button, calling him a "paracarro" - Italian saying for "being as slow as a milepost at the side of a road" :lol:. Daww, bless, his cars are crap.
 
Yes and Button has said they offered him a drive for this year lol.

Flavio is a prat sometimes but makes me laugh. RBR have the same engine as Renault and they dont have the diffuser so Flavio should be blaming his team for making a crap car and not blame everyone else for having a better car.
 
A lot closer this week but I dont think Button used the super soft tyres need to check really. If he did not he is quite a bit ahead.

We could lose a Ferrari again lol what a shame :)

And we have lol Massa out and Kovy.

Kubica was a one season wonder as I always thought he was, totally over rated.
 
Kovaleinen should have taken the new front wing then!

The Red Bull is definitely putting paid to the idea that the diffuser is the only thing that matters, it's super-fast.
 
Both Brawn cars seem to have understeer, wonder if they are more set up for the race.

Kovy got blocked big time, lets see what penalty gets given. It looked like it was Vettel and Trulli that blocked him. But could have been the STR car hard to tell.

My Virgin box just crashed.
