It was also made history in Australia, but the real winner of the race was someone else entirely. A team with which you have now is not really expected.
Of course it's a little tale that Jenson Button and Ross Brawn have since written. Double pole and victory, yet unchallenged to pretty - better you can not start a season. Barrichello's second place was indeed a gift from Vettel and Kubica, but still had the Brazilian after his totally messed-start again placed in that position. Who wants to dust, must also be in the same position. The performance of Ross Brawn, a team that has produced only two years in cucumber to make a winning team, is incredible and probably unique. But a team has surprised me in the race even more: McLaren.
But later on that. I wonder just how you look at Honda probably feel that way. Ross Brawn had assured the Japanese and over again that you have a car that can win the world championship. Brawn knew he had found something that the others would not. Presumably it would go tomorrow at Honda a couple of interesting sessions. Because - you paid for the use of BrawnGP yes, indirectly, because it has left him virtually the whole show for free on all wages and pointed, had found a solution to Brawn. Honda could be seen as a brilliant winner of the duration competitors Toyota has slapped. Instead, you have nothing but costs. Probably because just a few managers feel that they have made stupid decisions of their lives.
McLaren off. You have the engineers of the British had to say a big compliment, because the strategy was brilliant. Instead of riding with a heavy car go, one fueled from Hamilton and hoped that he would, thanks to the KERS cars and light as many cars can overtake. This worked surprisingly well, with Hamilton also benefited from the Startchrash, who swept to the front. But you have to give a compliment to the British and that he was very aggressive and fast. Where "fast" may not be the right word when you look at the best lap times. Since he is concerned only with 13th place, 1.3 seconds behind Rosberg whole. The time confirmed the distance that had been in the test, and only the combination of good strategy, luck and a very good pilot brought the McLaren forward. How important was the decision to allow Hamilton to start easily, shows a view of Alonso, whose Renault has approximately the same speed. He was consistently in the race but at the same speed, but always came back after refueling on the market and was at the end behind Hamilton.
Hamilton's third place is not entirely justified, if one takes the pure speed. He benefited from the total failure of Ferrari, Toyota and the penalty for the crash between Vettel and Kubica. And this crash can argue on, or take two positions:
First Vettel should have gone off the accelerator:
He knew that he runs out the rear tire, he knew that Kubica was faster, but also knew that he was still room to the rear, third place would probably have been so sure, especially since Barichello was on the soft tires on the road. After the race, Vettel also said that he should have acted more wisely.
Second Kubica should have waited:
There were still four rounds to go, he had the better tires and the KERS in the car Vettel could therefore have easily exit acceleration at the start / finish straight. The crowbar you can still get out on the last lap.
As you look at it, both have not hired really smart, you can understand what stress is in the race. Vettel gets grid positions in Malaysia aufgebrummt +10. The sentence he received but not because of the crash, and because he has not wrecked his car stopped immediately. The punishment is the real stumbling block for Red Bull, which have shown that they are "Best of the rest" are.
The race was very interesting, especially from the perspective of the race Speeds. I'm not sure whether Brawn has shown everything. Vettel drove off button again and again about five seconds and then preserved the lead. Vettel was no longer ran on. I am sure that Brawn has ensured that we took out a safe distance, and has not squeezed out of the car but still barely tested. On the other hand - the race pace of Barichello was now not so special. At the fastest laps, he appears not.
Toyota has probably one of the best cars. I can understand Glock that he was annoyed, not to stand in the qualification earlier. Both started from the pitlane, Trulli was at least until the third penalty after the race, Glock was fifth. And despite a spin. It seems as if Toyota in the race is not much slower than the Brawn. As punishment against JT: The slipped into the yellow phase with cold tires in short grass, so that Hamiltion slipped past. Later, the Italians then took his place back under yellow. However, Norbert Haug said that Hamilton had Toyota to safety again left over. If so, and has not just overtaken Trulli, the thing looks different. Toyota also lodged protests. But even without a penalty should be the first race for Toyota is miles ahead are on the bill.
Ferrari has once again a disastrous start. I have not heard what was broken at Massa, but it looked like an electronics or transmission damage. Raikkonen semmelte the car into the wall, presumably because he had KERS Activates too early. But it is a bad start for Ferrari used to it. The race itself saw at least on the hard tires really well. The Italians should never write off, which can travel in the next race at the front again.
BMW was better than I thought. Heidfeld was unlucky that he is due to his poor grid position also has a little blame, Kubica surprised me, however. The pit stop came early, as expected, but obviously it would fit well in, because the poles are not stuck in the field and was always pressure. The decision to take a short first stint on the soft tire was absolutely right and it shows that you have learned with BMW in the last few years. The speed race is also harmonizing with BMW, which is a good sign.
Williams has once again beaten themselves. Problems at the pit stop and a miscalculation doubt regarding the durability of the rear tires Rosberg made life difficult. But he set the fastest race lap and was significantly faster than the Ferrari. Now that's not a bad sign. Nakajima had not made the mistake, which is also a candidate for the podium would have been.
Toro Rosso was normal on the road, but Buemi was good. In his first race he was behind Bourdais, won two points and all this at age 20.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the speed of Force India. Fisichella was able to keep around long before Trulli, the lap times were consistently positive. At the pace I can well imagine that they can sometimes get into the points.
A good Grand Prix, a beautiful prelude and the new rules have shown that they work wonderfully. So many overtaking maneuvers you have not seen in a long time, so much excitement at the end was also rare. The idea to bring two very different tire is perhaps not entirely fair, but provides plenty of excitement. I also like is that one can distinguish the cars from each other at last. Almost all have developed different approaches, all of which operate in their own way. This should also ensure that each tire on the track and the other teams will be in front.
The pecking order in Formula One has changed significantly. Brawn is expected to be the favorite for the race in Spain, behind Red Bull and Toyota should be, then BMW, then Williams. But the distances are so small that one can write down the order after Brawn also completely different. The Formula One is doing really well. But the true sequence will be seen only from Malaysia. Then come to Monaco namely only tracks with long corners. And only then will show what the "diffuser gang" really has it. One answer is already there on Friday.
No related posts.
My conclusion: If the diffuser is not illegal, the World Cup is probably already decided, only question: Barrichello or Button? I'm going for the latter. Too bad I think that Brawn have gone slower than it seems on purpose (and without unnecessary risk) would have been possible. You probably want to avoid is whining again about dominance and boredom, which could make the prohibition more likely. Although this is quite a clever idea, but easy to see through, and I think it's ugly.
Hamilton had the rest easy once again his proverbial luck, that should not be overrated. Without SC, failures and stupidity of the opponents he would have landed outside the points.
Correction: Kubica was on the road without KERS ;)
Hamilton has brought the best out of his car. For Massa, it was probably the suspension (ie suspension or translated but dit? ^ ^), With Raikkonen NEN problem with the differential.
BGP hats made just right, did not take any unnecessary risks. Only correct pace shown wenns was necessary.
Button has even said himself that he is gone at the end only to your home. He went 0.5 to 1 second slower than he could. I think that is normal to have such a thing in a car makes, that has just passed the first race distance behind him. The Brawn & Co with the diffuser was faster, already fixed in advance, so it is of no effect on the protest. And as mentioned: Barrichello could not take the time.
But I think that most teams will only really fall in Malaysia's jaw on the floor. As the diffuser works properly in the long corners. Would not be surprised if the first six starting positions are already occupied. ;)
But one has to analyze the best lap times to be a little cautious, too. Rosberg went on the soft tires, as the tank was pretty empty. There's plenty of room to normal speed on the hard race tires. Unfortunately, there is nowhere a database with all the lap times, then we could compare.
http://www.fia.com/public/f1_media/aus09_race_history.pdf
Since there are all the rounds at a glance ;)
Oh, I did not know yet. Thank you!
That was an interesting race, and Brawn was apparently not well "Executive Hours" for the tests, I take it all back. ;) I did not think that the so-slightly as you go around the front. Let's see if this in the next races to continue.
The Honda managers must not only be upset about it, they've paid for everything and then got out. No, they paid for it and thus wins the Mercedes engine. Properly threaded smart. ;)
Vettel gets the Gilles-Villeneuve award for best superfluous tricycle ride in Formula 1 The crash was a racing crash occurs, the tricycle ride but a bit stupid, the punishment he has only himself to blame.
All in all, the F1 is doing really well, when the years cemented ranking is sometimes shaken properly.
I do think that it would affect, if Brawn had shown their true superiority. Although I think of all the FIA conspiracy even a little, but it is quite obvious that some prohibitions and rule change the past, at least in part intended to prevent too great a dominance of one or the other teams. So Button has in my opinion, not only at the end, which would obviously be normal, but from the beginning been slow as possible.
The time table has been brutal. Button and Vettel were the only ones who were able to regularly and consistently go under 1:29. While Vettel was at the limit but apparently, still had air button down. Ne half a second was always there. At the end he is driven at least 1.5 seconds slower, but he also had the option tires on it.
Are you sure that Vettel got the penalty for the tricycle number? To say mot-to-date and total-that he was punished because of the crash and was fined only $ 50,000 with the team because he has not stopped.
Formula 1.com writes also that the punishment for the crash was: "Following a post-race investigation, stewards decided to penalise the young German for 'causing a collision and forcing a driver off the track.'"
Imo it very unfair if you look at how many cars Barrichello has an accident in the race ...
The race itself was very good, but then again, the policy governs pretty annoying .....
The big difference between the tire compounds like me the way, very good, so does the rule that you must use any mixture finally strategic sense.
Let's see what does Malaysia.
PS: Kubica did not have KERS on board ;)
According to the official FIA-page Vettel has got the punishment for the accident:
On the other hand, is also in the article:
Yes because what nu, can not even express himself clearly? This is driving around with at least probable, because he thereby endangers themselves and others (drivers, marshals and spectators).
On race: Well was it, I found beside the Brawn really outstanding performance of Red Bull and Toyota. Williams and Nico Rosberg has disappointed me slightly, an error at the start, during the race it was not good, and then the problem with the tires at the end. In any case, now everyone knows that you can take the maximum of a super soft stint of 10 laps at race pace.
I would have like to seen the incident with Trulli and Hamilton, Trulli was penalized for the is, because I can not even assess whether this was justified or not. Well, we trust time the stewards ...
@ Dirk: the 10 seats are for the accident, which was fine there, because he has moved on or because the team has not brought him inside. I find the logic in her order, the first part of the punishment, but I find unnecessary. Racing accident with a little more blame Vettel, that's my opinion and for that we must punish anyone.
Otherwise, the race was great, I'm curious on it, how it all works in Malaysia, because that's probably the route with the most drawn-speed corners in the whole calendar. If the new rules will also be there for such a voltage, then I bow to the FIA and the Overtaking Working Group;-D
The idea with the major difference between tire compounds is basically good and brings excitement, but I'm afraid that every time it come into play the super soft tire, all as extreme or even more drastic than it is today. In Shanghai, we will see that the track has some fast corners, and yes I can understand at all that you want to go there super soft ...
One can only hope that the diffuser is not considered in retrospect on the drawing board as illegal. Then would the entire rear of the cars are rebuilt and probably would have none of the three teams then (and would sink in mediocrity) still a competitive car.
Great race, has done right since long time fun.
since Schumi is no longer there, the racing exciting again ...........
one might think.
As long as Brawn GP in the lead bead fills no refueling (insider), the car should be legal ^ ^
Race was entertaining, even if known to Melbourne.
Racing from start to finish +
+ All by mixed teams
- The front wings look just ugly white finish from wide
- Norbert Haug's monologues at the premiere, he replied to a question after FP2 whopping 2min piece
+ / - The BBC show everything live, unfortunately, the F1 instead of 16:9 to 4:3 watermark like Premiere and RTL
- At the BBC and premiere I liked the picture quality is not really 100%
- The premiere studio is just superfluous, Keke television with Oracle shops that anyone can
I sometimes just popped in to the BBC broadcast, and I must say that I liked better ITV. Jake Humphrey (presenter) came about as emotionless and severe over like Anne Robinson on "The Weakest Link" and Jonathan Legard (commentator) I was not nearly as pleasant and interesting to listen to James Allen, which I found really great. At least Brundle will remain with us.
The premiere broadcast I found it very pleasant. Aside from the fact that Keke has told waste as always fun (because of the drivers were overwhelmed with the new buttons for KERS and wing). Lean and focused on the essentials, with the training they have had Schulz and Surer talk a little longer is always better than ws Lauterbach's drivel, and Tanja Bauer will purely be found in this part-time facilitators role, too. I was certainly surprised.
Fixed: Kubica / Vettel KERS and punishment. I had seen in the latter, only the justification for the non-stop.
Yes, premiere today was quite ok. Studio would have been able to give really. What to say two people who are not on site. From Spain they are back. It just a few votes short in the end, because not everything Tanja Bauer could do alone. Schulz and Surer was always up and have not explained everything so when you would see for the first time a race.
(1) World Feed-Director was probably already at dinner, there were several situations slept through completely.
(2) Schulz and Surer in no man's land - have not yet noticed at some point that Kovalainen at the start of Barrichello's back down on it, and this therefore pushed Webber? And has anyone done a tally of Schulz's hissers cans?
(3) In the studio it looked as Keke the same time Peter would want to imagine a suuuper circular saw. Or a couple of belly-off-Stretchcorsagen for the modern man or a collection of bisque doll.
(4) After the race, hopefully everyone knows now that it uses the bad tires' nen sprint in the middle. That should trim the voltage to normal levels quickly.
(5) Good for Brawn and his team, nice for Bernie. Now you have to run everything by appointment only at the request, so the championship remains exciting.
I'd like to express the mature themes:
As far as I am informed has bridgestone to make it more exciting mature NEN brought extra soft for the track. I find stupid. overtaking -> yes, of course. But when someone does not intervene with a waxy inferior being grabbed by someone who runs faster 3sec only because he has to start at the other Gumi. I can also sit and watch the same schoolyard as encouraging small skinny guys thick gutter guys take that away break bread ...
The problem is: now there is always a mixture of "skipped", there are only two combinations: either bring it with hard and soft or medium and super soft. Whenever the latter is the case, there will be problems (except perhaps in Monaco), but once I say that while the hard-soft combination also interesting, but is not as extreme as with the other variant. But we will see even in a good 6 days :-)
@ NoteMe:
Well, they do not shove the saw (if indeed there was one, had no dents Kovas nose), I find not so bad. This was seen in the TV images also not good. I wonder anyway, then why not get displayed the board.
@ Abductee:
Do I not like that. Some teams have even anticipated the situation properly, so it is also a question of strategy. We will see how the other is in the race. It depends so much on the mixture, the asphalt, the temperatures KERS etc, so will change from time to time. I find good because it brings some uncertainties associated back into the race.
From the memories of the shove from the high and low external camera was visible, and in addition to "feel" even when directed by Barrichello after T-Cam, no idea if Kova had a camera when the images are safely somewhere too on board.
Sure, you can say that it is not at the end of big falls in weight, whether the causal chain is now 3 or 4 riders long - IMHO Rubens was also without Stueber too fast, Heidfeld is not 100% front and therefore very optimistic on the racing line and Webber content of the powerless Potter in the sandwich, it would not come in life without being touched by the first corner - I just thought it was just disappointing that they spin back of Heidfeld's first two steps follow, but does not mention seeing or Kovas Fahler.
@ Tires
Once the problem "tends to be soft tire" is now released, the version with a tendency to hard tires is perhaps interesting again. (Ie the soft-hard-soft combination of a> medium-haul)
Spox writes in the "crasch" between Barrichello and Kovalainen Baric Hellos diffuser was broken. Who else has seen / read? Could be a erkläreung for the times. Apart from traffic or whatever ...
@ Don
It has actually been in the past that a new team in the first GP on pole has stood up and then won the race. That was in 1954 at the French GP with Mercedes Fangio!
what should be achieved with the "bad" or _so_ different tires is quite clear: overtaking. Probably commanding a secret plan Overtaking Group, when the crop with the Airodynamik not work properly.
At the moment there are three new measures to force overtaking:
- KERS
- Very different tire
- Airodynamik restrictions (less air bath)
which in my opinion, only the first two have so far achieved an effect. The event was well auzffäligste Vettel / Kubica. Vettel's tires were finished. Rosberg took a similar position, too, with its tires.
@ NoteMe: Is not it true that Bridgestone has generally "free" choice. I think the ability to bring the mixtures of 1 and 3 or 2 and 3. I believe that these jumps are not at all so fixed in the regulations. So I've picked up that can fool me.
@ Don
ok, then try the other way ego:
attack the round after 4-5 wegbröseln are very bad marketing for Bridgestone products. :)
But at times this aspect page when in a duel of the two "blunt weapon" driver with fights we do not get safely back to see such a nice fight like Gilles villeneuve René Arnoux vs ... http://www.youtube.com/watch ? v = j3tXJm9tYGM
that's why I stick to it, the driver to give way to mature rauschiken _must_ be a stupid idea.
because then we get at most as vettel vs. Kubica :/
@ Xenic
You're right, that is not required by FIA rules, which bring to mixtures of single tire manufacturer to the races, but merely that two different types are to be kept dry tires.
On the other hand, Bridgestone has announced for this year, unlike last year does not bring neighboring mixtures to more of a race:
set and thus to further the combinations super-soft-medium-hard and soft.
agree @ abductee
Both tires have all the same conditions. It's simple
