Aussie GP 2009 - How many front wings knocked off on 1st lap

Post

Following Antony Davidson's lead, here's a wee poll on how many wings you think will be knocked off on the first lap at the first Grand Prix this weekend!?

The poll will run for the next 2 days!

I'm betting on 5! :D

I'll go for four wings too. I'll also go ahead and say that Hamilton and Buemi are likely to be involved in incidents.

BTW: Does anybody remember how many nosecones Rosberg thrashed last year? It was amaaaazing.
I am not amazed by F1 cars in Monaco. I want to see them driving in the A8 highway: Variable radius corners, negative banking, and extreme narrowings that Tilke has never dreamed off. Oh, yes, and "beautiful" weather tops it all.

I think Nakajima was and will be unbeatable in that field.

And thus, it took exactly one year for Ralf to be completely forgotten...
Anyhow, first race of the season is always chaotic.

I reckon brundle's camraman might trip over one and fall onto it during the grid walk, thus breaking one before the race has even started. I'll take 6 just for a laugh!

I picked 4.

Reckon one of them will be Hamilton's unless he gets his car up the business end of the grid.

I picked 4 wings will go. One of them is going to be Buemi because of inexperience. But I don't think Hami will lose his, like most of you think. I just don't think he's that bad. Don't forget, he's the current world champion. And yes, I'm a Ferrari fan.

He's not a bad driver, but there are countless start last year that he's almost rubbed tyres with other cars. With a larger front wing in the way it's much more likely to get in the way for him.

I'm surprised that ONLY ONE person picked the first option, just one wing off in the first corner.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I think Hamilton is an ace, and would even dare to say he's the best british driver since Jackie Stewart. I just think that, like Alonso, he'll drive the wheels off his car. Starting from the midfield, with some other drivers still bitter at him for past incidents probably willing to show they are not weaklings sounds like a recipe for a lap 2 pitstop to me.
