German Car Zone

^well hamilton rocks..as always..

I say bring HWA to F1 and make an all german Mercedes team..
and steal hamilton from Mclaren

I was up even after the thing. After posting in this thread, I just got off the computer since no one was online. It was definitely a disappointing race. I got excited when the rain came down because of all the variables but then the shut down the race and I was like DAMMIT!!!

The real idiots in this race were Ferrari, but I guess they took a risk and paid for it.

It wasn't just a bit earlier, it was more like 12 months earlier. A new consumer car has a development phase of approximately 5 years. Imagine having just 5 months to develop and test an entirely new car with Christmas break and holiday in between. The 2009 car isn't an evolution of the predecessor, it's a new car from the ground up. Williams and Brawn have had close to 18 months of time to test different solution, play around in the lap with double diffusers and what now while Ferrari and Mclaren were under pressure to simply get a car ready for the season. They didn't have the liberty and time of testing different engineering solutions.

For me it's been the opposite. I like to see an underdog win and someone come out of nowhere.

As blasphemous as it is to say, and as terrible as I feel saying it, it's nice to see someone other than Mercedes and Ferrari leading the races. -- And this is coming from someone who thinks the hierarchy of cars consists of Mercedes and no one else

While I don't agree with you about Mercedes as being the best, I do agree about it being good to see someone other than the top teams on top.

I'm happy for the Brawn team and I'm glad they're winning simply because this is a smack in the face of the top teams.

Frankly speaking, this is shaping up to be one of the best seasons in F1 history. Williams and Toyota have definitely taken the fight to Brawn, while Ferrari and Mclaren are really struggling.

I'm a big Ferrari supporter, but then again, i'm really excited that new teams are emerging to challenge the top 2 teams now. I've grown tired, in the past 10 years or so, it was just Ferrari and Mclaren's race to lose. Then we had Renault for a while. Now, imagine BMW, Toyota, Williams, RedBull and Brawn challenging not just for podiums, but for wins as well.

This is like back in the old days of F1, where 4-5 drivers have a genuine shot at the WDC. The changes the FIA brought to the cars aero wise, and new rules have really worked. I've never seen so many overtaking moves in the past 2 races, compared to the whole of last season.

Malaysia last year was a snorefest, but this year, even before the rain came, we saw how Webber and Hamilton having a go at each other so many times. It was really interesting.

Ice Cream Man

Yeah I saw that too, it was pretty funny. I guess it makes sense seeing that it was like 90 degrees Fahrenheit and 95% humidity...LOL
