What!?! When did that rule go into place?! MAn F1 is getting more complicated every year!

But yeah that is so awesome for Brawn GP. Kudos for finding a loophole in the diffuser rule and taking advantage of it.

SPICcnmFD · 04-07-2009, 08:02 AM

I think that rules has been there for a while. I could be wrong though. But it states the leader must make 2 laps for the race to be official, but if he doesn't make at least 75% of the laps then everyone only receives half the points.

Man, how much would that suck if Button has a chance to win the championship, but losses it because he only got 5 point that race.

Well, looks to have been another great race! I had to follow via text updates... haha. Red Bull picks up it's first F1 win ever with a 1-2 finish. Glad to see Weber have a good race. That guy has some serious bad luck. Brawn GP was 3-4. FIA ruled that the "double diffusers" are legal and Brawn will also retain their first two wins. Hamilton finished 6th.

I'm not reading this until I watch it!! That's the only bad thing about being at DGRR, I missed the race.

Brent · 04-20-2009, 09:23 AM

haha... I had to follow text updates. I'm downloading the race right now, although it says it will take 5 more daysfile is a total of 1gb to give you an idea how slow the internet is) before it is finished downloading... haha. Oh well, at least I have internet.

SPICcnmFD · 04-20-2009, 09:43 AM

WOW, I got to watch practice Friday before I left but that's it. I'll start watching the rest today.

I'm not real big into most other racing body's but I keep up with F1 a good bit. Nascar is ok, but it's on every weekend so I get bored with it not to mention there is really no creativity to the cars because they won't let them do anything, and the others like Lemans, and Grand-am are just randomly on SPEED throught the year.

Brent · 04-20-2009, 10:03 AM

Yeah, F1 is the only thing I keep up with as well. Like you said, I'll catch random races on speed throughout the year, but not anything I follow. I'm with you on Nascar. I just get so bored watching it. People always tell me how many wrecks there are and how it's action packed. To that I say "Have you ever watched an F1 race?"

SPICcnmFD · 04-22-2009, 11:00 AM

Ok, finally watched it. I guess it's going to rain every race this year. It is kind of nice to see some different teams atop the leader board instead of Ferrari and McLaren all the time.

Brent · 04-22-2009, 04:23 PM

I have 68% downloaded now... It's telling me less than a day left. We'll see

SPICcnmFD · 04-23-2009, 07:51 AM

Sounds like you'll make it just in time for the next one to come on!!

SPICcnmFD · 04-25-2009, 10:05 AM

Well looks like another new team on the poll

Brent · 04-25-2009, 01:10 PM

That's awesome!! Hopefully the weather will be nice for the GP and we'll see what kind of progress the teams have made.

Brent · 04-26-2009, 03:30 PM

Looks like another good race(that I'll get to watch in another 5 days or so

). 3 out of 4 for Button... looks like he is going to be the man to beat this year. Looks like Ferrari finally put some points on the board as well. Seems like Hamilton is creeping up a little more each race too.

SPICcnmFD · 04-27-2009, 07:28 AM

I really like this, someone else winning besides Ferrari and McClaren thing, makes it more interesting IMO.
