Brazilian Grand Prix

[Daniel]

Your post is the biggest load of absolute nonsense I have read on this forum - you have a soft spot for Renault? Well you have one somewhere else too!
Did you quote the wrong post? Most people will agree that your posts are the biggest loads of absolute nonsense on the forum.

[jimakos]

Wow it smells like a bomb is going to explode here!!
:grenade: :grenade: :grenade:

[ioan]

Your post is the biggest load of absolute nonsense I have read on this forum - you have a soft spot for Renault? Well you have one somewhere else too!

For once we agree. ;)

[donKey jote]

I have a soft spot for Renault too... they sent schumi packing :D :D

[Mauri A]

are we starting to follow the race or to insult other members?

[Saint Devote]

In 2006, Jenson qualified FOURTEENTH and raced to finish THIRD.

It was a race where he drove just as Jenson can - that is what we need today! :-]]]

[Saint Devote]

For once we agree. ;)

I am very dissappointed to see that :D

[Robinho]

i love Martins Grid walks, just grabbed Kobayashi, didn't know what he even looked like so thought we should get to know him

[pino]

Let's quit personal comments/attacks thank you !

[Saint Devote]

Nice to see Bernie wishing Rubens well in the car and accompanying him around the grid, Emerson. Great memories for all those like myself who have been around f1 for a while huh? :-]

[Robinho]

there are some big old clouds out there - can see there being some rain at some point before the end, although hot and pretty sunny at the moment

[Daniel]

Was thinking that too Robinho

[Saint Devote]

i love Martins Grid walks, just grabbed Kobayashi, didn't know what he even looked like so thought we should get to know him

Thats why it pays to be a total "gearhead" because by the time any of these drivers reach f1 we have known who they are for at least several years :eek:

Wonder whose neck will be streeeeetched today given that Interlagos is an anti-clockwise track.

[Somebody]

McLaren apparently think there's a good chance of rain in the next 30mins.

[Robinho]

so here we go, deep intake of breath everyone

[Robinho]

safety car

[Daniel]

Damnit that's stuffed it for Kimi :(

[Robinho]

angry Trulli

[Robinho]

jeeesus, this is mental

[Daniel]

Faaaaaark

[Robinho]

scary moment for Kimi, new pants please

[Robinho]

oh, and Button up to 9th - i'll take that for a 1st lap

[Daniel]

Bloody hell Alonso was lucky.......

[ioan]

Trulli you idiot, how you be so stupid and than you have the nerve to point the finger to Sutil?!

[Robinho]

what was Trilli thinking trying to overtake on the grass, losing it and then blaming Sutil

[Daniel]

You're not wrong Ioan.....

[keysersoze]

Button will get another spot when Webber gets his EXPECTED drive through. Ree-donkulous Mark!

[Robinho]

Renaults overalls look barer than Brawns did at the start of the season

[Saint Devote]

Trulli you idiot, how you be so stupid and than you have the nerve to point the finger to Sutil?!

:D OMG! I agree with you too!

This is becoming a little too cozy!

[Daniel]

I don't think what Mark did was that bad.

[Robinho]

sweet, Button overtakes again

[Robinho]

in your face

[Robinho]

Me neither daniel

[Daniel]

Button is going to rn out of luck if he keeps going on like this.

[keysersoze]

Won't Heikke get a drive-through?

[Mauri A]

Won't Heikke get a drive-through?
Who´s Heikke?

[Daniel]

He's Louis Hamilton's team mate

[Mauri A]

He's Louis Hamilton's team mate
Who´s Hamilton?

[BDunnell]

what was Trilli thinking trying to overtake on the grass, losing it and then blaming Sutil

Quite right. If Sutil is penalised it will be an injustice.

[Daniel]

gutsy move from Vettel.

[ioan]

Rubens can kiss the win goodbye.

[Daniel]

Button whinging about Kobayashi......... Not cool.

[ioan]

Quit whining Jenson, Kobayashi did nothing wrong you overdid your braking you whiner.

[keysersoze]

Wow, Kobayashi gots some stones!

[pettersolberg29]

Why did Heidfeld retire?

[Daniel]

Nico gets something for calling the team useless? :p

[Daniel]

Ran out of fuel did Nick

[pettersolberg29]

Oh my god - how can that happen?

[Daniel]

Fuel rig didn't put any fuel in

[Daniel]

Big accident for Nakajima!!!

[keysersoze]

Button has to stop again? Not good!

[Daniel]

Kobayashi at fault there......

[ioan]

Kobayashi does go one level higher on stupidity than Trulli did.

[I am evil Homer]

Well done Koba....idiot!!! Clearly you need to be dumb todrive Toyota's this weekend

[Daniel]

Button is just wreckless........

[keysersoze]

Maybe his fault, but if Webber doesn't get a penalty I don't think Kobayashi should get one, either.

[Roamy]

well give it up to button - he is driving like he wants a championship

[Daniel]

Definitely his fault.....

[Daniel]

Driving like want to lose the championship IMHO. Sure it might win him the title but it could easily lose it for him.

[keysersoze]

It's obvious from his overtaking moves today and by his shouting over the radio that he's tired of the criticism and wants to impress his detractors.

Good for him!

[BDunnell]

Button is just wreckless........

One could call it 'racing'. Ever watched the second place battle in the 1979 French GP?

[Daniel]

Yes but he could easily lose it all if someone did a Kobayashi....... Hare and tortoise etc etc

[dano9988]

Button is just wreckless........


Very aggressive, driving like a champion. Full of confidence.

[Daniel]

But if someone taps him off that's it. He just needs a few points from this race.

[dano9988]

Both Brawns about 3 tenths off the pace of those around them

[dano9988]

But if someone taps him off that's it. He just needs a few points from this race.

He needs to be within 4 places of Barrichello to wrap it up today. He should not leave it to one race as anything can happen. Remember Senna Prost?

[Daniel]

Nice overtake by Kovalainen.

[dano9988]

Button cant get past the Mclaren due to the KERS

[ioan]

Who the F is the RBR strategist idiot?!

[ioan]

So that was this season's championship.

[dano9988]

The Hamilton pass has ended it for Barrichello.

[Daniel]

Ah well. Has been a decent season.

[Somebody]

Fark. Button's WDC, isn't he?

[ioan]

That's it Rubens got a puncture, no luck this time either.

[Daniel]

Yep. Unlucky for Rubens :(

[Somebody]

*turns it off on seeing the Brn pit crew. I don't need a load of jingoistic crap from the Beeb*

[dano9988]

If Rubens didn't have bad luck, he would have no luck at all. Too bad that Hamilton screwed him like that.

[Daniel]

Kobayashi just boned and filleted Fisi.....

[dano9988]

Kobayashi just boned and filleted Fisi.....

Not the first time Fisi has been asleep at the wheel.

[Roamy]

Who the F is the RBR strategist idiot?!

button

[J4MIE]

Feel so sorry for Rubens, he just doesn't get the breaks, does he? :(

[keysersoze]

On a one-stopper I'm sure Fisi's tires are toast. Koba pulled out 4 seconds in two laps.

[Koz]

AND THE STORY ENDS!

Congrats Jensen Button 2009 WDC.
Congrats Brawn GP.
Congrats Webber.

[harsha]

congratulations to Button :up:

[Roamy]

AND THE STORY ENDS!

Congrats Jensen Button 2009 WDC.
Congrats Brawn GP.
Congrats Webber.

amen brother

[ioan]

*turns it off on seeing the Brn pit crew. I don't need a load of jingoistic crap from the Beeb*

Same here tried to turn it off before they give us Button's radio groans that are bad enough to have nightmares for one week. ;)

Congrats to the champions one more to go to the end of a boring season with more action off the track than on it.

[harvick#1]

well done to Webber on the win

such a tough break for Rubens, he cant buy a break :(

Congrats to Button on WDC, but he should thank the FIA in forcing teams to catch up with the DD diffuser, instead of making them illegal.

onto 2010 and a new FIA president as well :D

[harsha]

Same here tried to turn it off before they give us Button's radio groans that are bad enough to have nightmares for one week. ;)

I disagree...this season has been pretty interesting both on track and off track...maybe it's the dismal performance of the ferrari cars for you eh ;)

[Robinho]

great race, congratulations to Button, a champions drive, great overtakes today.

Brilliant drive from Webber, also Vettel and Hamilton, really feel for Rubens, but he didn't have the pace, and he'd already lost the WDC when he got the puncture so it didn't make the difference in the end.

Button may have lost his cool with qually, but he has pulled out some great race saves this second half of the season - so glad he's done it, with a great drive from low down to

[Robinho]

oh, and massive congratulations to Brawn for winning the Constructors too, not a bad 1st season - and for all the talk of Double Diffusers - how many wins did Toyota and Williams, the other 2 original DD teams get?

[Robinho]

and i also forgot Kubica - where has the BMW come from, its got really good, great drive from Robert

[Saint Devote]

Speed are really the jerk-off channel in racing.

They move away to a ads and a mini documentary about Button as the drivers pull into parc ferme.

[ioan]

I disagree...this season has been pretty interesting both on track and off track...maybe it's the dismal performance of the ferrari cars for you eh ;)

Nah, I watched this season from a neutral POV since the Turkish GP as it became obvious that Ferrari were going nowhere in normal conditions.
It was just boring, it looked like if the all tried hard no to provide a fight for the championship, plenty of amateurish slip ups on all levels.

Also from a technical POV it was a rather dull season and this even with the introduction of KERS.

[harvick#1]

how many wins did Toyota and Williams, the other 2 original DD teams get?

well we are talking about toyota and williams :laugh: winners of how many races in the past 5 years

[F1boat]

Great race and great end to the championship!!!

[UltimateDanGTR]

!ATTENTION!

OFFICIAL: After much speculation, It turns out Overtaking IS possible in formula 1, as demonstrated by todays grand prix!


superb track action, superb passes, not so superb attempts at passes ie jarno and kimi, mentalism with heikki and his fuel stop, all sorts of action and a new champion is crowned.

Rubens not fast enough really all things considered but also desperately unlucky, kubi great, webber great, vettel and hammy out of nowhere thanks to brilliant strategies and great driving.

well done Brawn and Bunsen as world champs.

great race.

[AndyL]

It's funny to read the comments before and during the race now... Button just can't catch a break from some posters on this forum :D Before the race he was too cautious and weak in the head, during it he was "wreckless". Actually he was wreckless since he didn't crash into any other cars, not reckless though :)
What a race though eh. If the FIA decided to have 4 races a year at Interlagos I'd be pretty happy.

[ioan]

vettel and hammy out of nowhere thanks to brilliant strategies and great driving.

I fail to see that brilliant strategy for Vettel. I'd fire the RBR strategist without even a second thought for today's bad strategy with Vettel.

[Saint Devote]

For the third time since I fell iin love with motor racing 35 years ago as a kid, "MY" driver has won the world title.

Jody Scheckter 1979
Nigel Mansell 1992 and....
Jenson Button 2009

Jenson's Barmy Army - we have finally concquered the world!

So pleased for Jens - he will be such a great ambassador for this sport and for Brawn, the great grandchild of that other super team Tyrrell.

Ken Tyrrell would well be smiling!

[harsha]

I would think Vettel should have risked a one stop....

Hamilton had a brilliant strategy and despite being among the slowest in Sector 2,still was good enough to keep up and finally pass Barrichello for the podium....

[Saint Devote]

But then the bias AGAINST Button from the Speed channel commentators has been evident since the start of the season.

I hope Button winning the world championship irritates them for the rest of their lives - and does the same to the Jenson haters.

We won! Up yours!!!

[Garry Walker]

I would think Vettel should have risked a one stop....
.

Softs wouldnt have lasted for that long, I think.

[Garry Walker]

So pleased for Jens - he will be such a great ambassador for this sport and for Brawn, the great grandchild of that other super team Tyrrell.


It would be funny if Brawn refused to pay button as much as that crybaby thinks he deserves and dumps his sorry ass out of their team.

Congratulations, pal. You never stopped believing in Jenson when all of us bashed him. You deserve to be happy. :hug:

[UltimateDanGTR]

vettels grid position: 15th
Vettels finishing position: 4th

still made places up after you take first lap chaos out of the equation, so not bad. and a 1 stop was out of the question due to the soft's tyre wear.

to me they did the best they could do given the circumstances, mclaren did a great strategy and of the other 2 that he finished behind, both of them started at the front.

[dano9988]

And once again Speed channel led by that idiot Varsha mess up the post race coverage.

I am so envious of BBC viewers.

I had to watch the BBC today, I would rather watch Speed any day over the Beeb. None of that crap from Eddie Jordan or David Couthard.

[Daniel]

Thank you so much :D

Its taken a few years - and the end of last year when we thought that Jens was not even going to race in 2009...... so amazing! Just so amazing!!! :s mokin:

[Garry Walker]

Rarely is better than never, Garry.
But shouldnt be enough to keep him on BBC commentary team.

[dano9988]

Yeah who wants the insightful comments of an ex-team owner or an ex-driver?

I would love insightful comments from an ex team owner or ex-driver. I just don't get them from those two jokers.

On Speed I get to listen to David Hobbs, Steve Machett, and Peter Windsor plus before every race I get a technical piece on F1 cars. This year Speed also gave the viewers a very nice 30 minutes on Ferrari.

What does the BBC give you but typical British crap about how great British drivers are or how awful British drivers are

[jimakos]

Can someone please post the final 8 of the race because my football team was playing at the same time so couldn't watch f1 :)

[VkmSpouge]

A great race. Really enjoyable with plenty of overtaking.

I feel really sorry for Rubens Barrichello, he has no luck at Interlagos. That said Mark Webber fully deserved to win the race today, he was flawless. Robert Kubica also doing very well.

Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Jenson Button doing great drives through the field. Button's overtaking earned him the world championship long before Barrichello suffered the puncture.

I was quite impressed by Kamui Kobayashi. He fought well against Jenson Button and did a very good move on Giancarlo Fisichella. However chopping Kazuki Nakajima like was bad and Kobayashi needs to learn to shouldn't be doing that, I think he should be punished for that.

[Triumph]

Jenson Button, F1 World Champion 2009! That sounds so good!

Fantastic drive by Jenson today. That should (but of course won't) silence his critics. But who cares about them? All that matters is:

JENSON BUTTON, F1 WORLD CHAMPION 2009!

Well done to Lewis too, for his podium finish. Hopefully Lewis will be back on top next year.

:D :D :D :D :D

The RBR strategy was poor.
They should have had a longer seconds stint and try to get Lewis, instead of finishing so close behind him.
They also should have used the softer tire compound for that second stint if they already decided to make it that short.

Also why did they have him stationary for 9 seconds during the first stop? To put him behind Button :?:

[ioan]

To tell the truth I was waiting something better from Kimi!!
But unfortunately didn't watch the game so can't have a clear opinion.
Maybe someone can help me a little...

[UltimateDanGTR]

Also why did they have him stationary for 9 seconds during the first stop? To put him behind Button :?:

looked to me as if first stop was too slow, maybe a problem. i believe Mclaren got Lewis' strategy just right today, the only reason red bull were beaten by hamilton was because mclarens strategy was oppurtunistic based on his position and situation but it worked and payed off. even iff vettel had gone longer second stint, i still believe hammy would have still been 3rd.

[Saint Devote]

It would be funny if Brawn refused to pay button as much as that crybaby thinks he deserves and dumps his sorry ass out of their team.

PS everyone: please excuse my headlining I just cant quite believe it just yet!!!

Be nice.

Jenson is never anything but respectful to everyone and is the kewlest driver to his devoted fans.

Whatever disagreements Brawn and Jenson may or may not have over pay is a private matter between them. It should not affect attitudes towards him.

And Jenson is far from being a "crybaby". Not one time during the more difficult second half of the season has he complained about or accused the team in any way.

He has in true Brit grit fashion gotten on with the job and tried the best he could - and he has succeeded.

If you really want to get a good reference to what it is like to go through the endurance and grind of a championship year then read the recent comments by Damon Hill.

[N. Jones]

What a great race! Congrats to Jenson and Brawn for clinching the titles!! :D

Bad luck and condolences to Rubens Barrichello. Much Like Villeneuve and Canada Rubens is cursed in Brazil. :(

[AndyL]

I was quite impressed by Kamui Kobayashi. He fought well against Jenson Button and did a very good move on Giancarlo Fisichella. However chopping Kazuki Nakajima like was bad and Kobayashi needs to learn to shouldn't be doing that, I think he should be punished for that.

I agree, despite the incident with Nakajima and only a 10th place finish, I think Kobayashi made a very creditable debut. He has to have given himself a pretty good chance of getting a permanent drive next year.

[Saint Devote]

Jenson Button, F1 World Champion 2009! That sounds so good!

:D :D :D

It does, doesn't it? :D :D

[keysersoze]

I thought it was a compelling race with lots of aggressive moves, particularly early in the race. I'm already starting to think about how awful it will be starting November 2nd--only one more race. Sniff. :(

Been a great season--been a great last THREE seasons, actually.

Congrats to JB and his fans, and particularly to that goofy, nasty, incorrigible Saint Devote. :D

At least Jenson fought all race long, unlike my guy, who went down with a whimper.

[F1boat]

Congratulations to Jenson, Ross, the team, their faimly and their wonderful fans :) And to all British fans, you rule!

[DexDexter]

Well done Jenson but incredibly boring race.

:D ahem!

Don't be hard on the driver you support - its a very tough sport. Always be understanding with them.

I agree with you that the thought of one more race to go only - sniff! And to make it even worse there is not even testing allowed before January.

[Saint Devote]

We, the Jenson fans are wonderful I agree :D ;)

Speed is CRAP! - as Jenson drove into parc ferme went to an insert about Jenson. So we missed virtually everything.

Did we even get to hear Jenson? No.
Did they provide interviews with or even show much from the Brawn garage? No.
Did we get to hear from John Button? No.

Speed sucked big time [again] and to make it worse - they cut to ad breaks almost EVERYTIME there are pit stops.

Also, the Speed channel crew are biased against Button compared to their excitement eveytime Hamilton even takes a breath!!

I would much prefer no ads and the comments of Brundle, Coulthard and Jordan. Gosh how awful!!!

[Dave B]

The BBC coverage has only just finished, about - what? - an hour and a half after the race. Does any other broadcaster show that kind of committment?

[donKey jote]

not to Button, no :p :

No penalties for Trulli or Sutil for their crash, nor for Heikki and McLaren for the pitlane incident.

Compared to the last two races we've had in Brasil this was a real bore.

I think Switzerland has the highest per capita, not the USA - that aside.

My point is I would prefer a pay-per-view option, maybe able to get BBC coverage.

Also, the problem is that Speed constantly break away when pitstops will occur for example. That is so annoying - although today cutting away to a silly insert about Jenson and then have a long stream of ads as the drivers were pulling into parc ferme just took the goddamn cake.

By the time it returned the drivers were on the podium and it was as if Jenson had not just won the championship and the commentators of course could barely find good things to say about Jens.

God I hate Speed channel! :mad:

Other than f1 you just cannot imagine the unintelligent kind of viewer it caters to - like the rest of commercial tv in the United States which I never watch anyway.

[ioan]

I think Switzerland has the highest per capita, not the USA - that aside.


If it's GDP per capita than it's Luxembourg at the top.

[keysersoze]

Well I live in America and I'm a degreed (two degrees, actually) professional, no car payments, no credit card debt . . . and perpetually broke. :(

[ozrevhead]

A great race. Really enjoyable with plenty of overtaking.

I feel really sorry for Rubens Barrichello, he has no luck at Interlagos. That said Mark Webber fully deserved to win the race today, he was flawless. Robert Kubica also doing very well.

.
what there was actucally a race winner? Between the BBC & the forums you wouldnt of thought so :rolleyes:

sure bbc were going nuts over button but you think it wouldnt of hurt to spend 10mins on the race itself at least

It matters not as I am a happy little vegemite right now :D (apart from the rest of the world acting like mark wasnt ever there there) Mark won Brazil, Casey blitzed PI and Holden dominated bathurst......it doesnt get any better than this. :D

[555-04Q2]

Argh! I think I read the question wrong..... How do I think America became the richest country in the world? This is not the forum to answer that type of question. :)

Ok nevermind,Let's have everyone his opinion about the richest country... ;)

The most spectacular moment in the race was for sure Kimi in flames!!!
Kovy managed to ''burn'' him with a stupid action...
Fortunately,''ice-man''can't be burned is made from ice :p

Well I live in America and I'm a degreed (two degrees, actually) professional, no car payments, no credit card debt . . . and perpetually broke. :(

You are doing something wrong there.

Oh well.... sorry to take this off track with an opinion not suited for this forum. My point is - SpeedTV, you show too many commercials! It breaks the flow of the race and needs to be rethought.

Shame that Barrichello is so unlucky in front of his home crowd. :( But even a healthy car wouldn't have saved him the championship.
