LabradoRacer 2 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Well, flagging enthusiasm, eh? Going by the free practice times, doesn't seem like the Brawny Virgins will knock up the rest of the field. Ross was right in predicting the Red Bulls to be faster than BGP. Let's see how it pans out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Ah, this forum is really dying these days. I just hope for a good race to wake everyone up. Anyway, as usual not a lot can be taken from practice. Brawn aren't looking that strong, but I've seen it all before in practice, and then Button ends up on pole anyway. Mclaren looking slightly better, I hope it lasts.

The Brawns were running test programmes all day long with race fuel on board. Ross and the team were happy with the times and the tests. I watched P1 and P2 online. No worries.

AleHop 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Such a good season. We already know the winner, the ethernal second, the promising third... I only enjoy watching the qualifying to see who's improved and most of the times the race is quite avoidable. Ferrari are doing a good job and they might start winning soon. McLaren are not as bad as they did in Monaco. Renault are working hard... But it's too late for all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HandyNZL 1 Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Well, flagging enthusiasm, eh? Going by the free practice times, doesn't seem like the Brawny Virgins will knock up the rest of the field. Ross was right in predicting the Red Bulls to be faster than BGP. Let's see how it pans out. Take a race to the boondocks and this is what you get. Crowds ARE needed at the race track to give it atmosphere, or else its just some cars going in circles...rather dull....and as such TV viewing drops. Though most are more interested in the whole FIA/FOTA thing to give a rats about the racing... I guess a one/two from Ferrari will be enough to wake us all up I am looking forward to see who gets the pole position tomorrow and how's leading the last lap on sunday. Surely you mean a McLaren one/two? Thats just a typo, right? Barrichello or Webber to win. Can't they both win on the day? Why oh why must we continually pick sides.....can't we all just get along?

F1 FANatic 1 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Seeing as how the Toyotas utterly failed last time round I will just reuse my prediction from monaco, I think the mistake I had made was that I was not thinking of the track but just of the drivers, i bet though that this time I will be spot on. In a nut shell: Starting grid: Button RB Vettel Trulli Webber Glock At the start: Both Redbulls will fail horribly like they do ever start and the order will be: Button RB Trulli Glock Vettel Webber then Vettel and Webber will pass Glock. Meanwhile The Brawns will run away with it as Everybody else is two minutes slower than the Brawns as they Party Aboard the Trulli Train. If the Train is a Rockin' don't come a Knockin' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yurp 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Actually I see Trulli taking pole here. I know I've said that before, but I really see it happening this time. Watch me eat my words in 2 hours time. I sense that Massa may take the win too. I really hope so, because I forgot to do my PPP last race and so went for some pretty crazy picks this week. I could do well but more likely, my plan will go horribly wrong, the predictable winners will win and I'll be even more shafted than I am now. Bring on qualli!

mikathegreat2 2 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Wow, Vettel on pole, Brawn in a double diffuser Red Bull sandwich! Poor Hamilton, but in a terrible car, kinda like Nando as his brakes have issues, so it was'nt just Piquet being a sh1t driver as I have always predicted! EDIT: I've also noticed that in the 2 races Vettel has gone on pole, he's won the races (Monza 2008, China 2009) that he took pole in so I have high hopes for winning the race but I've also remembered that the 2 poles he got were in the wet so it's gonna be 1 hell of a race!

LabradoRacer 2 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Phew, finally Button's OCD of getting a pole at the death has been broken, never mind even if it could be just for this race. I hope Kimi & Massa can make short work of Trulli, else they've no chance of a win. Also, good work by Alonso & Kubica. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Rumble Strip 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Given the record of wins from pole in Turkey, is Vettel to man to beat. I suspect the Brawns in general and Rubens in particular are heavier. Could be a great race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
