mattx Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Ferrari...... But don't worry Ferrari because I bet the F1 governing body will find a reason for you to win some races - as thats what the tend to do when things don't go your way...... I think Vettel will win tomorrow.... Edited April 25, 2009 by mattx
leco Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I think Vettel will win tomorrow.... Well he does have a score to settle with someone.
mattx Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 Well he does have a score to settle with someone. Indeed - It will be an interesting race because of the fuel limts / pitstop for the top 10 cars.....
mattx Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 What strategies do you think they will have then? Good lord, I have no idea !! Only the teams will know that - this year has been really good so far though - just hope it continues.
leco Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 But will we get a race without the safety car? Interesting it certainly will be, looking forward to watching.
torledo Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 But will we get a race without the safety car? Interesting it certainly will be, looking forward to watching. i think rain's unlikely, don't you ? vettel would be as good a pick as anyone for the race, but i suspect button might sneak the win, with vettel second and hamilton third.
Andrew_C Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 What strategies do you think they will have then?Go like stink and don't crash? Seems like a good plan to me!
deanc Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Go like stink and don't crash? Seems like a good plan to me! shame that strategy cant become an interlectual patent, you could make a fortune from licencing it
john Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Its a flipping hot one out there And the risk of the sand storm will be a bit of a worry for them I don't think sand in those engines will be good for them
Andrew_C Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 20 laps from the end, and Ferari have just been BLUE FLAGGED! There seems to be nobody there watching the race. Is this another case of F1 going to Bahrain because of cash rather than the spectators?
PeterW Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 FIA = Ferrari International Assistance, nuff said:rolleyes:

Is this another case of F1 going to Bahrain because of cash rather than the spectators? in a word. yes. ecclestone obviously a fan of globalisation....sometimes i do wonder whether F1 is a success in the last 2 or 3 years inspite of his best efforts. as for nobody watching the race, i reckon the stewards who raised the blue flags for massa clearly weren't watching the race, as button was miles behind massa when the flags went up.
leco Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Masterly driving by Button and brilliant strategies from Brawn:) Fantastic. As for the crowds, well would you stand on a non-existant hill in that heat? No they were all in the air conditioned stands. I think it may have been more to do with camera angles than lack of audience. But I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time. Well done Brawn.
steve Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Bahrain has a capacity of 50,000 Formula 1 has never been about the spectators with grandstand tickets around £200-500. Did you see how empty the stands were last week in China? These far flung new markets aren't working, the TV audience is still Europe - that's why they are tinkering with the start time to get the GPs on at a reasonable time over here. But will Bernie eat humble pie and put more GPs on in Europe? No chance.

featured_spectre Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 lottery numbers would be mine, could you pick them for me! lol

Is this another case of F1 going to Bahrain because of cash rather than the spectators? Oh how I laughed when that happened - still at least they have some points in the bag - I think the govening body will double them or something now..... :-) I did notice that ACER had a label on the Ferrari car - so no wonder they are doing crap - most probably have to keep ringing up their 'so called' customer services......
torledo Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 i'm going to have to turn everyone's attention back to the rubbish bbc coverage. First off all, i wish these goons would actually advertise the race start along with their coverage start both on tv and the web. Don't think i can put up with 45 minutes of coulthard, eddie jordan and the presenter whose name i'll probably never remember. [he's that much of a nobody] last week, they had DC do the grid walk with brundle, whoever dreamed up that particular bright idea, should be fired immediately. it was, predictably, a disaster.....and just shows how clueless the bbc production team are. I cringed while watching it, does anyone know if it was repeated today ? this week, the co-commentator next to brundle got on my nerves even more so....i found myself shouting 'shut up!!' at the telly atleast 3 occasions as he would rabbit on about inconsequential nonsense just as something interesting was happening on the track. And how's this for the most tenous of commentator links.... something like, 'a guy set the world record the other day for holding his breath in a fish tank...now will we see another first here today as toyota chase victory'. WTF?!!? the guy is an utter, utter tool. Remember that old saying, if you've got nothing useful to say...well this guy never has anything useful to say but that doesn't prevent him reading from his dire playbook. As a tv tax payer i demand he be shifted off the f1 coverage, if this is the best they can do then it's woefully bad. The only good bit about the coverage is brundle. everything else is rubbish.

I agree the only decent person who actually knows what he is talking about is Brundle - the others are indeed crap. Still, I would rather have the BBC than the terrible terrible terrible puke stained advert filled tosh that ITV stuck on. Can you imagine ITV with the Grand National - " and they are coming up to the last....... " - CUE ADVERTS. The interview with Hamilton was also rather painful and I'm surprised Hamiltion didn't deck him with the amount of stupid questions he was spouting out - I bet he is straight out of 'media' school.....
laserblazer Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 The Weekly TV Guide from yesterday's Mail had the start time in brackets.
mattx Posted April 26, 2009 Author Posted April 26, 2009 The Mail ? You read the Daily Mail ? -Shame on you !!
laserblazer Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I honestly only get it for the telly guide. We get vouchers so it's cheap The Times is read by the people who run the country. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by the people who own the country. The Express is read by the people who think this country should be run as it used to be run. The Telegraph is read by the people who think it still is their country. The Guardian is read by the people who think they should be running this country. The Mirror is read by the people who think they are running this country. The Morning Star is read by the people who think the country ought to be run by another country. The Independent is read by the people who don't know who runs the country but are sure they're doing it wrong. The Evening Standard is read by people who are less interested in who's running the country than in getting a seat on the train home. The Star is read by people who don't care who runs the country as long as they do something scandalous. The Sun is read by the people who don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big boobs 1
