Good call shoppers! just found it on the red button on BBC!
Button, alonso, rosberg top 3 if rosberg can hold his nerve
but iam also not discounting vettel
Rosberg, Barichello and Button, I want Button and Hamilton to do well this year but its not looking to good for Hamilton :dearme:
I'll go for:
Kubica, Massa, Alonso.
To be honest though, this year I really don't know. I think that's a great thing for F1 this year! :)
Brawn GP 1st & 2nd place?? now that would be a fantastic great start for any team..
well they are half way there:):)Quote:

exciting stuff, and its not even the race :D
I watched qualifying this morning, was up at 5am :D texting the 1 like Spooky as he's a big F1 fan. It's so good to see how it panned out, refreshing to see it wasn't the same old same old up the top of the leaderboard :)
I'll say it now, i've always been a fan of Jenson Button over the years, it's been a shame watching how it's gone for him and then to see Hamilton come into F1 the way he did. Even so, i've preffered Button and glad things are finally (hopefully) going his and the teams way. A huge effort not only from the drivers (salary decrease) but the whole team and with Ross Brawn taking charge at the helm :agree:
It's early days but it's looking good, and yes THANK GOD F1 is rightfully back at the BBC :cool:
As text to Mart earlier, if ever a car to have a PMT sticker it would be the BrawnGP ones :D plenty of room on there for it. David and Goliath stuff :)
Hope renault do well. As rich said would be nice to see what button can do
I've was there for all of yesterday and gotta say that the new rules haven't taken anything away from the spectacle of F1! Don't think the Renault looks half as bad in the flesh. Aussie V8s were pretty cool too. They've broken my Oz Motorsport cherry!:laugh:
Was due to hit the track later today for the main event but, things have transpired to keep me away.:cry:
Had a participants permit but couldn't get anywhere near the F1 Paddock:sad2:.
Looks like i'll be watching it on the box like the rest of you.

Shame you cant be there today, but atleast on the telly you get to see all the action. Shame you could get in the paddock, typical tho tbh.
Go Button!!
Come on, who put money on a Brawn 1, 2!!:D
well done button :agree:
Good race, should be an interesting season!!

Richard Branson definitely has the Midas touch but, not taking anything away from Ross Brawn wow! What a turn around for a team that shouldn't exist anymore.
Top result for all, well done Jenson and Rubens:cool:.
PMT underdogs FTW! :cool: :)
Chuffed to bits that Brawn GP came 1st & 2nd, and even more chuffed that it was Jenson taking the top spot. He must be over the (Button) moon! :D
Fair play to Hamilton for raking up a 4th place from starting last on the grid.
Great start to the new season :agree:
hamilton is 3rd now

Hamilton was bumped to 3rd, Trulli was given a 25 second for overtaking while safety car was out :)Quote:

think they penalised him for being a bad boy and overtaking under yellows, glock now 4th I think

lets just hope they don't get to silly at the hearing over difusers. thankfully massa wasn't third as for sure they would be taking the win away from brawn, as its hamilton can you see the FIA gifting hamilton a win? great for jenson thoughQuote:

Wish I'd stuck a one'er on Brawn GP ending 1st & 2nd for this race - The odds were circa 100-1 prior to qualifying... :eek: :(
Good result for the Brits alround then really :agree:
Was fantastic to watch with out add's and multi camera angles.
really enjoyed watching this today , how much better is it to watch without ads :agree:
the cockpit view with the rev counter and that was cool , loved the extra 80hp battery thing on hamiltons car , almost like a shot of nos as it only last 7 secs ,cool all the same though :cool:
great race really pleased with the results for Brawn GP for sure but see teams seriously need to sort out there pit stops this year theyve gone from 6-10 seconds dependant on fuel and today i dont think any team except ferrari was under 10 seconds in the pits!
As for the diffuser thing i hope coultard is right by what he said before the race and that even if they have to be changed after the post malaysia hearing that the results from the first 2 races will stand, otherwise this is just another negative for the sport and there have been some totally shocking decisions by the fia over the last few years
did i predict the winner of the aus gp or wot
wish i put money on it

Seems someone told porkies..
i am going to be totally biased and say FFS!!!! Does anyone know what Mclaren are supposed to have hidden from the FIA/stewards?
A convo between Lewis & the pits/boss saying he had to or was letting Trulli past apparently, something gay like that anyway.... Mclaren aren't fighting it so it must be something like that.
Amazing. There had to be some way of the FIA taking points off McLaren :laugh: It's a feckin joke.
Looks like there was some mild naughtiness going on though.
Whatever the case, I'm loving the new season already.
What with this, and that shananigans with McLaren 'obtaining' Ferrari data from several months back, it's beginning to show a few true colours of Ron Dennis & co :sad2:
Now watch the media turn on Hamilton, and in turn, start ass licking Jenson instead...
To be fair, Hamilton should of ignored team order's, he f*cked up and should of been man enough to accept that.
But i am sure he hasnt been the only driver/team to have lied to the FIA past & present.
