Spanish GP 2009 - Circuit de Catalunya

[WhiteBlue]

kimi's KERS is in trouble.

[WhiteBlue]

All drivers ok after the crash.

A very bad start for Vettel.

[WhiteBlue]

Most German drivers on the other hand, have had their careers seved om a silver-platter.

care to elaborate whom you are referring to?

Heidfeld and Glock have gone through rough patches. Vettel has earned his carreer in the STR. Sutil is driving a tail end charlie for ages, and even Schumacher started in a Jordan. Nico in the Williams has never had a car which could qualify consistently in the top ten. So I must be missing something.

Ted's saying it only initiates when he's on full throttle
rather odd indeed!

edit: Kimi is now out!
edit 2: The left (as if you were the pilot) front wheels fairing (Frisbee) on Massa's car is facing everywhich way except the way it's supposed to, would this be causing many problems? In terms of balance at least.

I believe this is a case of taking a specific case, then making a general statement based upon it.

If there wasn't a balance problem before, there is now.

It would likely affect left-right brake bias, since rotor temperature will vary. Does Ferrari have a control for that on their steering wheel?

[WhiteBlue]

Vettel's race engineer should take a leave out of Webber's engineers book. They should have changed the pit stop strategy to get clean air instead of following Massa all race.

Massa is below his fuel curve and will run dry unless he slows down or stops again.

[WhiteBlue]

Massa slowing down to save fuel. Will this be enough to make it to the finish line?

[roost89]

Massa is below his fuel curve and will run dry unless he slows down or stops again.

I'm hoping he lets Vettel through...he's passed. Massa has just let him past =D>

The KERS cars have a distinct advantage in the race, they need to get the cars fast enough for Quali to get a few places below where they want to be.

It looks like F60 suffers a lot from ECU problems this season

Although I very much prefer Button to win, you have to feel sorry for Rubens. He could have won the race but Ross decided to give Button the advantage. I feel so sorry for Rubens.

[WhiteBlue]

Massa slowed down too late. If he had slowed 5 laps earlier he could have defended against Alonso. Now he will be nervous if he picked up enough rubber on his short in lap. If he is under weight he will de disqualified.

He looks quite sour just before going on the podium.

[Gonner]

Webber cannot walk properly yet, but he surely knows how to drive.

[Giblet]

yawn

is it over?

I think watching the timing screen after the first lap would have been EXACTLY the same experience.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish it had rained.

I wanted Barichello to win
