SHUSH!!!!! I haven't watched qualifying yet much less the race.

Great race today! I was able to catch it on the Speed Channel. Sucks for Lewis. Running in third and keeping Jensen on his toes... then crashing out of 3rd on the last lap for a DNF. From the looks of it, he hit pretty hard but was ok.

Two-year suspended ban for Renault over Singapore conspiracy

FIA hands individual punishments to Briatore and Symonds

What if Piquet had said no? Would it have made a difference in who won the championship last year. Maybe Massa wouldn't have had the pit incident and gained extra points. Did Renault get off easy? Sure they got rid of the two who instigated it but man this seems as bad or worse than what McLaren did and they had all their points taken away and a huge fine.

I still have the last two races on DVR to watch and there's another coming up this weekend. Massa has been back testing for Ferrari, Alonso is going to Ferrari, Barrichello has possibly signed with Williams, Kubica will take Alonso's place at Renault... I can't keep up with it all.

Def been a great season!!

Brent · 10-21-2009, 04:50 PM

Well, since no one else has posted yet... Jensen has it all locked up.

SPICcnmFD · 10-22-2009, 08:11 AM

Yeah the last 2-3 races have been disappointing some IMO because even though he wasn't doing very good the 3-4 guy that had a chance to catch him didn't do anything either.

Good Button finally got his championship. Now it will be interesting to see how he and Brawn GP fare in the coming year(s). Without the massive budget of say McClaren or Ferrari, my guess is they'll be hard pressed to be competitive. Ross may need to pull another miracle out of his hat.

This thread needs a serious update!

Yeah, sorry I've been out of it since NO CABLE right now - just can't afford the $100 / month (@^#( fees just to get Speed Channel.

On a related note, been enjoying WRC seasons 2008 and 2009 on Hulu!!!
Hope they UL 2010 soon!

Bahrain canceled Australia is the 1st race of the season in 6 days. Which IMHO is a proper start to the season. Good riddance to a boring track.

From the preseason, that does not count, Red Bull and Ferrari look fast, Merc GP looks to be a contender now, and McLaren is either playing games or in trouble.

Here is to a very exciting season with lots or dog fights and a close championship race to the end.

It is another season of domination by Red Bull it seems. If this season continues on its current path then it will be a boring season like the season dominated by the all too mighty back then Michael Schumacher. Hopefully things change during the season. I want to see much more competition going on.

RETed · 05-23-2011, 03:10 AM

What is the FIA going to do now?
Change the scoring system again, like after M.Schu dominated a few years back?
Would be interesting since Jean Todt is now the FIA pres...?

I just started to get into WRC...
Although Seb Loeb has been DOMINATING the past few years, it's a little bit more dramatic.
Looking forward to this season since they are dropping from 2.0 turbo to 1.6 turbo and all new chassis - Citroen DS versus Ford Fiesta with Mini taking a peek?
Well, that's for another thread...
