When race day rolls around, there’s really only one thing on my agenda, which is watching the race... I can't be bothered with any other activities or distractions that might pull my attention away from following the action...☕

Brawn GP🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
*first qualifying session 1-2
*first race 1-2
*leading both championships
*Button sits on a total of 22 and he's an American

it turns out all that hype from the American media actually holds some water now...
"Jenson Button, the next American world champion"div>

stormybadger8 said:Send the video, not this.🙄 Where on earth was Sebastian Vettel even looking? He should’ve just put it in reverse or something. My god, Robert Kubica was running a full second faster per lap. He could have overtaken him anywhere. Instead, he just sits there like an idiot, locking up under braking. Honestly, he should have just let him pass and given him a little nod like, "Oh, please, go ahead, you absolute legend."

Anyway, those are my favorite drivers.
Say what you want about Vettel, Robert Kubica, and Nick Heidfeld—you can talk all you want, but in my book, they’re all equally to blame.☕ Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked at all if both of them end up getting slapped with a penalty at the next race.😢

it was nothing more than a racing incident, both of them were just seeing red at the time

I honestly don't get how you people can even focus on a computer screen while the race is actually going on...

Sebastian Vettel and Robert Kubica are both at fault here, each in their own particular way,
Vettel was clearly the slower driver and he really SHOULD have just let Robert Kubica past so he could go out there and rack up a mountain of points
as for Kubica, he probably should have just aimed for that wide sweeping turn to make his move instead of trying to force his way through right here

Ronald Palmer63 said:Lewis Hamilton 4. Seriously, hats off to him. He just proved he’s the GOAT!

Too bad about those two idiots, but they basically did it to themselves.

I'm not quite sure where you saw him doing anything particularly special today, because from where I was sitting, it looked more like a perfect storm of lucky breaks than actual skill...

Morgan Murphy7 said:Exactly this.

My phone is absolutely driving me insane.

I set my alarm for 6:50, thinking I had plenty of time, but somehow it feels like it's already 7:50 in this new reality. Time just seems to slip through your fingers lately.

Once I switched my phone over, I found myself transitioning into a whole new way of managing my time.

Damn these new technologies. 😍

I had my alarm set for 6:20, yet I somehow found myself wide awake at 5:55...😳
then I hopped online on my phone to check the time and it said 6:55... apparently my brain is programmed to adjust to the change even if I wasn't consciously aware of it...😳

it’s honestly such a shame how they handle the F1 studio these days

ironfalcon43 said:I don't think there's really any debate to be had here...🤷
Every car has its own kind of charm, I guess, but there's only one that’s truly flawless and untouchable... McLaren Racing... 😍

*that isn't even a car🙄😉☕,it's just the identity of the whole squad, now the 👍McLaren MP4-24
is an actual machine...
It's untouchable when you look at where they sit in the top 15 to 20...

The race kicks off at 8, but if we’re planning on adjusting the clocks, then let's say 7 instead...

that rosso corsa shade is just gorgeous😍

😁

feraltrucker5 said:Some pretty wild qualifying sessions 🙂 Watching those McLaren results is honestly a blast 😬

Even without some sort of magic diffuser, Ferrari is holding their own just fine. If the officials decide everything is totally legit, then no big deal—they can always get their act together after a few more races. I don't see Brawn GP pulling too far ahead of them anyway. 🙂

I'm actually quite happy about how things shook out🙂
😁
Heikki really showed that he’s got more grit than that arrogant Brit... when the car isn't performing, all that hype just disappears, and I guess you finally see who the actual drivers are when the conditions get messy...

Michael Lee4 said:Kovalainen's a disaster, but Lewis... 😢

And once again, hats off to Brawn GP Virgin 😁

🙏 nice, Rubens is in the twilight of his career and actually has a shot at something he wasn't even allowed to dream about back at Ferrari—a title

Jeffrey Palmer29 said:Man, Alonso is just cruising, bro. If he gets lucky with some unpredictable chaos—like if a safety car comes out—he could actually snag a high finish...

he could honestly pull off a win

Joshua Thomas84 said:Do you really think Renault is just going to rely on pure luck to grab points again this year?

Renault doesn't need luck when they have Fernando, what you wrote sounds more like it applies to Nelson Pihlavic...

vividlynx68 said:I'd much rather be sitting in on the next Honda board meeting than watching the race 😁😁😁

good😂

Roger Williams3 said:morning everyone 🙂

let's go Renault 👋

come on Alonso 👋 👋

they don't look super promising, especially after that last practice session, but hey, maybe they're just playing mind games to throw the other teams off 😬

they got played so hard they can't even shake it off...😢
