A mercedes engine. That makes sense then. SO they have to use 2 different kind of tires. Waw! Thats gonna be interesting when it an all out rain race!

i guess when rain its gonna be 3 tyres cos of the ones they put on for the wet :shrug:

I think with Brawn it is do with the technical regulations being changed a great deal this year, especially to do with aerodynamics, to hopefully make overtaking easier, so that means the teams have had to alter their designs for the cars a lot. Teams like the McLaren maybe haven't interpretted the rules right in what they are allowed to do but Brawn has built a fast car under the new regs.

The diffuser is one of aerodynamic features of the cars where the regulations have changed (I think) and the teams that are complaining say the three teams in question are using a design against the rules. There's complicated rules in F1. :D

On another note, I notice that the stewards were getting involved again after the race and have given Vettel a 10-place grid penalty for the next race for his incident with Kubica. I reckon it was just a racing incident and commentators said at the time it was 50-50 blame.

Thanks for the explaination James.
I dont agree with what the commentators said, that it was 50/5. Vettell was completely out of order. He had no chance to hold off Kubica, and he clipped him. I think its well deserved if he gets that penalty.

Yeah they gave Vettel a 50.000 fine for racing with the tyre hanging off!!!! I honestly thought it was a racing accident, it didn't seem like Vettel did it on purpose!:conf2:

grrr ... Barrichello hits Webber on the first corner who then takes out the Fin. Webber limps around the track with no down force while Barrichello goes on to place. Lol what a cruel sport to watch ( if your a webber fan).

Are you? LOL! I am too surprised that he got away with that 1st corner crash. It was all his fault. And he hit someone later on as well.

Button won?... Button?!?!

lol nah... Barrichello reckons "someone" tagged him and that's why he shunted Webber. When Vettel and Kubica took each other out I nearly threw my remote at the TV at the idea Barrichello make the podium. Anyway if Webber doesn't do anything this year then he's gone... he's in the last year of his Redbull contract.

racing rules state if your taken out like that you have to pull over not continue driving i doubt he would have done it had the safety car not been deployed
but i cant see what a grid penalty is going to achieve it was a 50/50 battle

Ye he deserved the penalty wasn't disagreeing with that, i just thought that it was a 50/50 battle.

yeah but he actually got penalised for the crash not for failing to park the car after the crash. At the stewards enquiry he admitted it was his fault but Schumacher agrees with you and thought it was 50/50.

Oh i thought he got the grid penalty for the crash and the fine for driving dangerously around the track?

it was def 50/50 even the commentators said that as well

The commentators were wrong in my opinion. Go watch it back, Vettel had no chance to hold him off, and he tried to squeeze Kubica, and thats how the crash happened. Even Vettel knew it, and thats why he was apologizing so much on the radio, after it happened.

Because I started it too late I've created a new league starting with the Malaysian GP this weekend to give people an equal chance.

Just follow the instructions above to register and search for TiBB - 2 as the league to join.

Great idea! Sounds like fun. I will join tomorrow.:spin2:

Joined :cat:

I would join but im in a league on facebook with my friends and im winning, so i'll stick with that!

What a sh*t league. I picked two crap drivers and two crap cars - Thats all I could afford - and then it still wouldnt accept my choices. I think I'll give it a miss.

worked out well for me i had button, barichello, kimi, buemi, brawn gp, ferrari, and i picked australia for my race!

Okay, I've rejoined the new league with a new account so that my points are reset.

have just read this :bored:

Saw that ^ on Sky News earlier:hello:

lol.... The powers of Formula 1 doing their best to stop our guy..


Or maybe i'm just para..
