China Trip - Shanghai (April 19, 2009)

I’ve been following Formula 1 for a long time, but I don't think I've ever seen this many blowouts, smashed noses, and spins all at once...

But for the most part... it really just looks like a massive tactical blunder by the Williams Racing strategists. 😵

Eh, what can you do? They gave it a shot. 😬

Man, the tires are flying off the car way too easily again. Super weird.

Where India 😁

Ferrari won't be the only one sitting at zero points.

See, that’s how you actually do it, unlike Hemingway who tries his absolute hardest and still can't pull it off 😁

ironfalcon43 said:but at least they're staying on track🤷

unlike some people😈 😉

Some people?
Who are you talking about?
Kim Kardashian is still on track herself. ☕

It seems like Pike and Sutil have this little strategy where they clear out all those foam barriers before the turns, just so drivers can't get their bearings on exactly where to hit the brakes 😬

And seriously, where did those cables that hold the wheels in place disappear to? ☕

I guess it just wasn't meant to be with the Styrofoam blocking the path today... 😍

Please, even with how things started, Kim Kardashian is still gonna climb those rankings eventually.😈

Is that supposed to be some kind of consolation prize? 🙂

Let's see who actually called it—who put their money on Hamilton during that duel against Kovalainen? 🤣

Does anyone else remember that story about those Red Bull meteorologists watching how cows behave out on the pasture? 😍 🙂

Red Bull just gave a masterclass to the entire grid on how you can absolutely demolish Brawn GP without needing a diffuser
Button’s trailing by 40 seconds while Barrichello is sitting 60 seconds back
🙏

I have to say, hats off to Vetell and Red Bull 🙏

Whatever they were watching, it worked.

We actually pulled it off!!! 🎉 Where the hell is TBF1D?! 🙂

Sebastian Vettel, congrats man, sending love from Pat 🙂 🙂 🙂 😁

That was truly a phenomenal race. It started out with such a quiet, intimate atmosphere, but then it just built and built into this incredible crescendo... there was so much drama and so many cars spinning off the track. I suppose Sebastian Vettel’s victory was well-deserved. Long live the rain! 😁
