2009 Brazilian Grand Prix

I literally can't wait for this afternoon, should be a cracking race.
 
Whoa, major WTF?

Raikkonnen slower on fuel that Sutil and almost slower than Alguersari?

The Force India has been clearly faster than the Ferrari since Spa.

Also Alguersuari was knocked out in Q2, what have you been smoking?
 
Wouldn't that just put them in a even worse position? Because they'll have 5 extra cars that they'll have to fight their way through up to the front.

Other than the Red Bulls, what cars have a dry-weather setup?

It sounds like nearly all the teams went with dry setups, though I suspect Toro Rosso didn't.

Williams were quick because they were already running high downforce setup for dry weather - they couldn't get the car to work in low downforce.

I think most of the teams were playing it safe and just running dry setups and seeing where it would get them with wet tyres on. The differences were down to downforce abilities.
 
According to the NobleF1 feed on Twitter, there are blue skies over Sao Paulo.
 
One thing is certain, this race is on Rubens's hand, only he can lose it and if it rains which i knkw thats what he wants, well Button will not get on the points. He is not a good driver in the rain, bht i know Vettel is and so is Hamilton and Kubica. Man Rubens deserves to win big time, Button ihas become too cocky, what a trashy driver for sure. Lost all my respect for this guy. Go Rubensssss!!!!
 
How has Button become "cocky and trashy"? Just because he's no longer in the best car on the grid?

Wow, there are a lot of amusing complaints on the BBC site about the 15 minute delay to Strictly :lol:
Hypocritical too, as I believe Strictly also over-ran from time to time ;)
 
Mark Webber needs to win this race to get some respect back after a shocking run of 6 or 7 non points finishes, I think I'd have to say he's favourite to win

Curious, why exactly are BBC delaying the broadcast?

Not one time two times or three times, he said himslef he is the best in the world and he said that if Rubens wins he will hate him for that. Now what kind person is that?? Sorry but no respect for a guy like that and comparing himself with the bigger guys??? Pleaseeee. If yiu telling me that button is good in the rain, rare occasions. Rubens is a much better driver in the rain, still watch out for Hamilton and Vettel. Button will get scared.

Can I have a link or an article or something for this quote from Button about being the best?.. I certainly never heard of him saying that before.. Not saying he hasn't.. Just want to see it for myself.

Sources please... we don't want people to think you are making this up, do we?

Button and Barrichello are friends. Why would someone say such things about a friend?
 
I have infact found an article where Button did say he'd hate Rubens if he won...

Again, there was that boyish smile, the one that has made rivals underrate Jenson Button throughout his career. But what if he were to lose "his" title to Barrichello?

Button laughed nervously, and said only part in jest, "If Rubens won the championship, I would absolutely hate him. I'd also respect that he did a better job over the 17 races."

Webber has 3 laps more fuel than Barrichello.

There may be rain inside the next 30 minutes.
 
Cam McConville (aussie commentry) said "let's hope it'll be a dry race". I say the hell with that! BRING THE RAIN (not so much that it red flags the race)

EDIT : Trulli's gone absolutely mental at Sutil. Button up to 9th already
 
What is this? Amateur hour?
 
Wow what a start to the GP. Havoc all over the place
 
Button up to 9th already, a Ferrari engulfed in flames, fisticuffs between Trulli and Sutil, and Brawn mechanics removing the fuel hose from a McLaren... unbelievable!

You can't script drama like this. absolutely spastic start.
 
Some really idiotic moves being pulled.

Trulli going off into the grass and spinning, taking out Truli and trying to get in Sutil's face over nothing :odd:

Nice block by Webber on Kimi :rolleyes: Bloody whining hypocrite...

Looks like Button will likely clinch it here...lucky man :sick:
 
Who says Button doesn't deserve this championship? amazing moves already. up to 7th.
 
Button is driving the wheels off that Brawn

Hope he dosnt push to hard and mess it all up
 
I'll blink at some point today!
 
Not sure what Trulli's problem was, looked like he was to blame if anyone was!
 
Thank goodness this race isn't on ITV. We'd be coming up to the 2nd ad break of the race by now...
