Red Bull usually just gets hauled away by a crane.☕

Better to lose face on the track😎

Than have Ned let anyone pass you like you're some little Baby🙂

Rather than looking like a total incompetent Baby😂

Or whining during a live broadcast like a little Baby🤣

And then having people call you Baby on top of it all.😬🤣😂

Roger Wright94 said:That much is obvious. But how big of a lead are you actually expecting?

I don't think that’s going to cut it. If they end up sliding back behind 5th or 6th place, they'll be fighting uphill against much tougher competition. Making any real progress after that will be a massive struggle.

🤣Nelson Piquet will handle that. 😉 Alonso, Vettel, and Weber are back in the pits, and they’re pumping the fuel tanks until they're absolutely topped off. 😉Nelson Piquet slammed right into the wall. 😬 SC is just sitting there on pit lane, waiting for the leaders to catch up.🙏 Same old, same old tactics. 😬🤣

Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel, and Mark Webber are almost certainly going to start on those Super Soft tires. If they can actually pull off a massive speed advantage in just a few laps, it’ll be a brilliant move. Who knows what happens later? A sudden downpour, a crushing defeat, whatever. They might end up struggling with those Super Softs if things go south. Either way, I'm looking forward to a great race.👍

It’s happening. He's finally heading back to the garage. 😬 Somewhere around the halfway mark of the race. 😬😁

"I think we are going to improve the car maybe every race from now on. Maybe after two, three, four or five races we are going to be in a different condition."

🤣 He meant to say:

"I think we are going to improve the car maybe every race from now on. Maybe after two, three, four or five races we are going to be in a points-scoring position."

😬Now that would be telling the truth.😁

BTW check your PMs, hit me up when you can 🙂 😍

From what I can tell, the Brawn cars are heavier than the ones ahead of them. Kimi and Lewis Hamilton are lurking somewhere in the mix, and I’m dying to see how those tankers—Heikki Kovalainen, Felipe Massa, and Nelson Piquet—actually handle themselves..🤷
Still, I'm expecting Kimi to finally show what he's capable of now that he doesn't have KERS holding him back..😁
By the way, I read somewhere recently that Kimi admitted in an interview that right before the start of his first Formula 1 race, he actually fell asleep in the cockpit,but managed to wake up just in time..🤣🤣Legend..🙏🙏

🤣The guy probably still naps during races sometimes.😬

Hmm 🤔 so we can expect Lewis Hamilton and Nick Heidfeld to be sitting somewhere between 4th and 8th by the second lap🤷 what a mess they made of Kubica 😕

Just as I thought, Alonso is running light on the grid. My guess? They’re planning a super short first stint on those soft tires that fall apart after five or six laps, then switching to hards for the rest of the race.

Yeah, only Alonso got the new parts. Look:

Pat Symonds, executive director of engineering:
"Fernando's front row position is a tribute to the hard work from everyone back at the factory to get the new diffuser on the car following the result of our appeal earlier in the week. It's working as expected although we had some problems on the bodywork this morning as it burnt slightly, but once again the technicians here did a great job to get it fixed. Now we must get the same equipment for the rookie and give him the chance to move up the standings."

Now, I have no clue if they'll actually get those parts by tomorrow's race or if we're waiting until Bahrain...

McLaren and Ferrari either have or don't have Hybrid Energy Recovery Systems 😕they're pretty heavy on fuel☕

Nico Rosberg looks weak, and he's actually fairly light🤷

😠What on earth are these kids dreaming up now? 🙄 😱 Probably just more nonsense coming our way... 👎 🙂

Nelson Piquet is proving he’s a phenomenal driver🙏 😬🤣

I can't find the car's weight anywhere 😕

Anyone know what the deal is with 🤷

darkmarlin16 said:I don't think that was ever really up for debate.☕

Never was for me, but apparently for a lot of people on this board, it definitely was.😉☕

darkmarlin16 said:You were close, but those were just qualifying laps😁

A reliable guy? Please. He never misses a beat☕🤣

🤣 He let you down 😬🤣

http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/4/9197.html

Glock gets a 5-place penalty, which means Piquet starts 16th🤣

darkmarlin16 said:A slightly clearer look at the standings: D



For someone who actually made it into Q3, Vettel sure didn't put together many convincing laps.☕

That just proves he's driving an absolute beast of a car. 🙏🙏🙏 Even if he is a great driver. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Dammit, I didn't even watch qualifying 😠

but order looks good to me 🙏🙏🙏
