Brazilian GP 2009 - Interlagos, Sao Paulo

[Scotracer]

I think Red Bull needs to adjust the trim on their boats - the bow is hitting the water hard.

[djos]

Looks like the vastly more experienced Webber has shown Vettel the way - shame that Vettel couldn't be up the pointy end too tho!

Webbo FTW - he has several laps more fuel onboard than Rubens! =D>

New safety equipment for Interlagos.

[Mr Alcatraz]

Rubens is in great shape.
By the time FA pits (button will not pass Fred) the front 4 to 6 will have checked out.
Of course I could be wrong

[dp35]

Will/should Vettel take the penalty and install a new lump?

[Mr Alcatraz]

I thought you had to have a failiar with your last lump in order to change!
He has two lumps with only two races on them!
Could someone please set us (me) straight on this one?

Barrichello on pole, title contenders suffer 17 Oct 2009
Rubens Barrichello has claimed his first pole position in 5 years after beating Mark Webber at the closing stages of the session by just 1 tenth of a second. On the changing track conditions.

This is the stuff that dreams are made of [-o<

[ds.raikkonen]

Yeah, although he s 6kgs lighter than either Mark or Adrian, it was a good lap by the Pauloite. Kimi also did well to qualify P5 in the development frozen F60. Lets hope Rubinho wins the Brazilian GP finally....a long cherished dream for him. Go Rubinho!

[Mr Alcatraz]

God I hope I get to see him standing on the top step of the podium crying his eyes out.
That would be epic!

Robert Kubica:

To my surprise, the car was quite competitive when it was very wet, and it was somewhat more difficult to drive with less water. I had too much understeer. The car is set up for a dry track, so we have to see what the weather will be like tomorrow.

could you explain that wonder?

Liuzzi gets a 5 place grid penalty for a gearbox change.

So... Vettel and Button line up on the same row. Making that rear midfeild section very intresting.

[marcush.]

I got the feeling Rubens is in a bubble of confidence today...this is his day ,the
DAY of his career... I´m sure he has visualized standing on top of the rostrum tonight..
I wish him all the best to achieve his lifelong ambition!

They have no clue what they're doing or why, sometimes it just happens to work out?

Gents, try reading the teams press releases and listening to the commentators instead of making --- up as you go along (very un_net-like I know)!

Red Bull, MacMerc, Brawn & BMW etc all have weather forecasts predicting a dry race on Sunday which is why many of the cars are biased in that direction - luckily for Mark and Rubens they were able to adapt to the conditions with only ride height tweaks etc that can be easily undone prior to the race if need be.

[Giblet]

We like to speculate. That is a lot of what sports fans do. There is a whole betting industry based on this

I think that a team need to get through quali first. Having a dry setup will not win you the race if you start from the back, in a mediocre car, but it might make you beach the car and not quali at all, or even start from the pitlane.
