CumbrianRam Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Great win Mark Webber he was a class above today, Vettel 2nd, Massa 3rd, Rosberg 4th. Bad day for the Brits Button 5th and Hamilton 18th and a lap down after picking up a puncture on lap 1. That was Hamilton's worst ever F1 finishing position and Webber's first ever victory. Button leads the Championship by 21 points from Vettel, Webber 3rd, Barrichello down to 4th. Brawn GP still lead the constructors, although Red Bull are only 20.5 points behind now.

vicky-27 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Lewis Hamilton is back in the race - they have spent £5m on mods to the car and he recons he can win again. New driver on Sunday as well for Red Bull - youngest ever driver 19 year old Spaniard Alguersuari who has never driven round the track in a F1 car before - has only done testing before.

David Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Watched it as it happened, strange one as he didnt attempt to turn the skid marks went straight into the tyre wall. So soon after a similar incident killed another race driver, lucky man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Well done Lewis. I'm glad he's finally got a win. He's not gonna win the world champ, but a win's good and there's always next year. The McLaren car looked fine today. Best looking car definitely, and the fastest out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so Hungary for a win. Slightly off-topic but I love it when the cameramen find Nicole Sherzinger and show her on screen during the race.

David Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I read a couple of the new rules for next season today, no refueling during the race and no tyre blankets. I can understand rule changes to make it more competitive but can they not leave it for a few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like saying in football for 09/10 you're not allowed to tackle with your left foot. Then deciding for 10/11 that you are but the goalkeeper is only to catch corners whilst jumping the air and singing. It's petty and unnecessary rule changing imo.

Boycie Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Are they to tow a little fuel tank around behind then? Now that would be dangerous. What if you took one up the rear? it could go off all over you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
