Um Bongo Posted 23 May, 2009 Share Posted 23 May, 2009 Hamilton would have been through easily IF he had not put the rear end of his car into the barriers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Posted 23 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 23 May, 2009 Great stuff. I just hope Kimi doesn't open a can of KERS on his ass down into turn one tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttawaSaint Posted 23 May, 2009 Share Posted 23 May, 2009 He's really enjoying his season as World Champion isn't he..... More proof that all the drivers have pretty much the same talent level and it is the best driver (or favourite) of the best team that wins the title...

Arizona Posted 23 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 23 May, 2009 Button actually fueled longer than Kimi, despite being quicker in Q3 than Q2. A sensational lap all in all. Lets hope it all goes smoothly tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 23 May, 2009 Share Posted 23 May, 2009 I'm surprised Fernando ran so heavy in Q3, after blitzing P3 on light fuel this morning. I can only assume they were half expecting a penalty for "blocking" Trulli in Q1 and decided that starting off the front on light fuel, after a penalty, wasn't worth the risk. FWIW, it didn't look like a block to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Posted 23 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 23 May, 2009 Hammy will also start from the back (or more likely the pitlane) due to replacing his gearbox after that shunt. Penalties aside, it's amazing how Toyota have gone from a front row lockout to a back row lockout in 2 races. Has there ever been a president for that in the history of the sport? Great for the sport IMO, especially with both FIs in Q3. Also with Nakajima 10th and Piquet 11th, a first corner pile up is virtually assured.

Arizona Posted 24 May, 2009 Author Share Posted 24 May, 2009 Another Monaco snore fest, but at least Jenson did what Hill and Mansell couldn't. @ Nakajima And running along the pit straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_D Posted 24 May, 2009 Share Posted 24 May, 2009 That lap of honour was awesome lol Wouldn't be suprised if everyone wants to do that at Monaco now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Landrew Posted 24 May, 2009 Share Posted 24 May, 2009 (edited) That lap of honour was awesome lol Wouldn't be suprised if everyone wants to do that at Monaco now... Not sure about awesome. Diverting maybe. It certainly made a change. I'm inclined to agree with Arizona about Monaco. I'm sure the drivers love it, but as a race, it's F1 at it's processional worst. Which is a great shame, and there's nothing they can do about it, apart from making the roads much wider, which they can't. I remember being slightly impressed by the glitz and glamour for a short while, in my younger years, but then quickly realised all the glitz and glamour in the world can't make a boring race spectacularly great. If they took it off the calender, it would take me all of 5 seconds to get over it. Once again, well done Jenson, Rubens and BrawnGP. The class of the field. EDIT: Did like the camera capturing the cars changing direction and load along the swimming pool section. The way some cars bounced and jiggled around there, and the way the Brawns seemed to sweep left and right. Now that was awesome.

Ponty Posted 24 May, 2009 Share Posted 24 May, 2009 Nice work by Buemi. Had to laugh at Nelson chiding him for being a rookie kid in F1. Tongue firmly in cheek there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded to me like he was just being retarded. Shame Fisi couldn't get ahead of Bourdais as the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, knowing Nelson there's no chance he was being that arrogant. Now, if it had been his dad talking, that would be a different matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
