2009 Formula 1 Season discussion

looks like MPD was right, Ferrari had to change the exhaust exits. You have to give them props for trying to keep the aero benefits and doing it legally under the rules before they were changed.

I know, it’s just so unfair for everyone else

I don’t know what is in the Kool Aid over at McLaren…

“He won’t talk about it because he’s too modest, and what Michael did is extraordinary,” said Whitmarsh, referring to Hamilton’s ability to match or even break Schumacher’s record breaking achievements.

But modesty is certainly NOT one of Hamilton’s qualities, and he is definitely no Schumacher.

Seriously, Hamilton hasn’t scored 144 out of 170 possible points yet… Hell he hasn’t even broken 100

RB5.

I’m sorry but the cars this year are not as attractive as last year… even the Ferrari’s

I think they are… and they aren’t.

I’m happy to see shit like the bunny ears and crazy aero gone, but I really do not like the long high noses and fragile looking front wings.

I’m with you about the wings. The teams better bring enough replacements because those puppies will be all over the tracks this season. I am excited though for the higher number of passes and to see what the grip will be with the slicks.

Good video to watch.:slight_smile:

Little animation video my dad sent me with Vettel explaining the new rules

Red Bull always makes the best videos. Awesome.

+1 for fireballs

-1 for the new front wings

23 days and counting…
