The BTCC was good too, great final race.

With fuel stops coming to an end this year, we will get our wish! I think next year will be interesting as the races will become marathons once again so will favour drivers who are sympathetic to their tyres.
Williams and BMW are seemingly going backwards. Unforgiveable really in terms of Frank's boys, considering that they have a double decker diffuser. It's the drivers really, and Nakajima shouldn't be in F1 just because of his name or Toyota wanting him in the seat.
BWW, well, what can you say? They gave up the title push for a shot this year, and also forced KERS on everyone a year earlier than necessary, considering that a standard unit will be introduced next year, thus forcing the others to waste millions on designing bespoke units.
If you have a sniff at the title you must go for it, it's the racer's way, yet they made a decision not to. Poor Kubica as that could've been his only real chance, you never know, as F1 doesn't offer up WDCs lightly.Last edited by Richard.John; 27-04-2009, 01:16.Comment

Agree with the above. Anyone who has said that Button isn't a racer must have had their mind changed by that first lap battle. He completely demolished Hamilton in a move that he knew needed to be made or he would have been struggling for the win if stuck behind him.Originally posted by SS004 View Post
Rubens spat with Piquet was great too, his eventual overtake was great as well, VERY aggressive. As you say though, kers is bad. It's being used as a start line tool and a defensive tool, seeing Piquet manage to hold of Rubens for a lap would have been interesting but for 4 or 5 laps was just unfair.
Overall a very enjoyable race I thought. Loved the first half, the opening few laps were like an arcade game and almost seemed to be showing in fast forward with everyone really going for it. The tracks a bit 'safe' though. There's no danger there as we saw by the lack of spins and retirements. I don't want anyone to get hurt but F1 needs some risks, roll on Barcelona

Something else has come to mind.
Does anyone that didn't like the look of the cars pre-season still not like them? I think they all look amazing now.Comment

yeah, it's the runt of the litter but I can even allow that some time. The Brawn is just gorgeous, I love the high sidepod air entries.Comment

If you look at '08 cars now they will seem hideous with the winglets and Indy style low rear wing.
Those shark fins have to go though. Not pretty.Last edited by Richard.John; 27-04-2009, 12:18.Comment

Now I've got used to seeing the 2009 cars, the 2008 cars look so complicated.Originally posted by Richard.John View PostComment

Apparently you can press the red button and listen to commentary by CBBC / Newsround or something?!? Anyone tried that?Originally posted by Senna View PostComment

There are a few different options.Originally posted by ChrisField View Post
TV comms (Brundle/Legard)
CBBC
Radio 5 Live (Croft/Anthony Davidson)
Track (no comms)
I just listen to 5 live now. The feeds can sometime drop during the race and you revert back to TV comms.Comment

Not sure you have every option when you're watching via Freeview, they have less streams available to them on that compared to Freesat and Sky.Comment

I've had it before on Freeview but it seems like there were less streams this weekend because of the (bloody) snooker..Originally posted by Flabio View Post
I wish there was a way of getting Croft & Brundle, although Davidson is pretty good.Comment
