Talk about a surprise huh?!! A month ago Honda was about to break up their crew. Today, because of Ross Brawn who bought the team, they finished 1 and 2 in the first race of the year! Kinda crazy how things work sometimes.

Come on Fiji... you had to expect that a thread titled "FORMULA 1 THREAD" would contain spoilers, especially immediately following the first race of the season. Maybe the title could be changed to include "SPOILERS" to prevent this in the future.

Today's race was amazing and I am soooo happy for the whole Brawn GP team. I was a little disappointed when Kubica and Vettels took themselves out as they're 2 of my favorite drivers but I was still very happy with the outcome.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised that the field is more mixed than previous years thanks to the new rules. It's great to have some new colors on the podium.

It was a good race, but it was very disappointing for the old "Big hitters" like ferrari and MB.

Fuck those jerks. Where's Minardi?

Lol, what's wrong with posting the results to a race that already ended? Sorry if I spoiled the results for those who didn't see it. I got in late last night and it was on live at 4:30 in the morning. I didn't think about the re-air. My b.

i wouldnt say disappointing. hamilton did WORK on that race...18th to 3rd is pretty damn impressive. granted the crash on the 3rd to last lap helped him alot too...speaking of that, wtf was Vettel thinking? that crash shouldnt have happened. sucks the race had to end with a safety car, but it was a great opening season race.

Yeah Hamilton started almost dead last (other then the 2 toyotas) and ended up 4th I believe, not 3rd. Trulli got 3rd. I remember them talking about 2 of the oldest drivers in F1 are on the podium. :wink: Still a great great race for him to even pick up points though.

And as the announcer was saying "the best finish ever for a Red Bull car is 3rd......ohhhhhh they touch, they touch!" (Spin, spin, crash) Lol

 

[heftylefty]

ya he ended in 4th but trulli eventually got a safety car violation so that gave him a penalty which knocked him down pretty far, atleast thats according the F1 site...crazy drama haha

I think Kubica should take the blame for that one... there were 3 laps left and Vettels tires were clearly going so I don't think he needed to be that aggressive at that point in the race.

Very true. It was a really good race, but I dont believe ferrari got any points?

What a great race, big congrats to Brawn, I am anxious to see if they still have the pace at Malaysia.

Vettel did all he could but the tire diff is huge so Kubica was eventually going to pass him anyway, I just think he picked the wrong corner to do so and thus both of them crashed out. I can't believe they penalized Vettel for the next race for causing the crash, he had nowhere to go and Kub was trying to pass on the outside! i agree with the fine, he should have just pulled over with how damaged his car was.

Trulli also had a great race starting from the pit late but passed under the safety car at the end of the race and was penalized 25 seconds so he dropped to 12th.

This was one of the few races that was at a reasonable hour to it was cool to watch it live, that prob won't be happening anytime soon.

On to Malaysia, only 5 days away.

Wouldn't Brawn racing technically be one of the "big hitters" since they are sporting a Mercedes engine? I mean they are not the factory race team, but they are part of the big hitters, I feel.

Great race though. I actually stayed up last night to watch the race. Good stuff!

So Torro Rosso and Force India are also "big hitters?"
