New F1 season

[Durham Fox]

McLaren still running 2008 parts in testing, especially wings. They are either pulling an audacious stunt at the moment or they are going to be well off the pace this season.

hamiltons now crashed in testing today.

I expect Brawn GP to have world champ within 5 or 6 years.

The guy is a genius, and now he's let loose with his own team. I don't expect much this year, but people will want to work with him.

My new favourite team

It certainly wont be with Jenson Button.

They've secured the Mercedes engine and will start testing tomorrow. Be interesting to see how they get on.

Manufacturers will want to work with Brawn, he gets the best out of their equipment.

New car looks quite good too, although the rear wing looks very small:

Just meant I don't rate button at all.

The rear wing is standard fayre for this season with all the aero rule changes. Pesonally Im not a fan of the small rear wing and huge front wing look but if it makes for better racing so be it.

This is where we differ. I do rate Button, but very, very low.

I think Brawn may get the best out of him.

I do hope so. I want to like Button but being out performed by Barichello does nothing for his rep. Anyway, I suspect Brawn was so keen to keep Honda going because he actually thinks they've got a decent car this year. I expect them to do quite well in the second half of the season.

McLaren however I'm not so sure. Hurts me to say it but I suspect they may struggle without the Ferrari data.

Are you suggesting Les Dennis was a spy in the camp? :icon_bigg

Well I understand it was Alex Stepney but yes there was clearly something going on!

McLaren would never cheat, I'm having none of it.

The Brawn car quickest in the mornng test at Barcelona today.

 

[Durham Fox]

McLaren nearly 3 secs off the pace today, either they are sandbagging or they are well and truly ****ed.

 

[Willlow]

Just McLaren playing silly games as usual. They will be fine come the 29th

 

[Durham Fox]

Silly games like this?

Not sure this is a good idea

Not because Hamilton wouldn't have won the title last year, just think it sounds a bit odd

Nothing to do with a Ferrari driving coming 2nd then?

it seems a strange decision to me if they want to incourage more overtaking, then increase the points for the winner and points between the places


if this system had been implemented from the start of F1 there would have been 13 occasions the title would have been won by a different driver, including 2 more titles for Nigel Mansell

 

[Durham Fox]

It's a crap system IMO. Someone could conceivably win the title winning just 3 races and not finishing the rest over someone who has finished in the top 3 all season. Crazy.
