2009 Grand Prix of China - April 19th

Let's turn our attention back to the old McLaren. The championship doesn't truly kick off until we hit FC Barcelona 🤣
Just wait until Haug starts blowing up those customer engines

It doesn't matter; even if you pull off something brilliant, Sam will always find some way to mess it up. 🙏

Hey, I'm actually a firefighter 😠

we're doing great ☕

Seriously though, what on earth am I even looking at right now?😕

Adrian Sutil🙏
Nelson Piquet Jr.🙏, he's actually better than 17th place😳
and let's be real, even the BMW isn't all that impressive lately

Red Bull🙏
if you ask me, those rear wings they run—the ones that sit almost flush with the ground—they probably act a lot like diffusers, which is likely why they’re crushing everyone else who isn't running that kind of aero setup🙂😳☕

My guys were absolutely brilliant. 😍

Well... things might actually be looking up for once...😁 🙏

It can't get any worse than this.🤷

ruggedfox28 said:I’m really pulling for a Brawn GP victory, hopefully followed by Robert Kubica and Fernando Alonso taking third and fourth! 🙏

It feels like Nelson Piquet Jr. might climb up just one spot, so we can all have a little collective celebration over him landing in 16th place. 😉

History is probably going to repeat itself from the first race at this track... I can see Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello grabbing those top two spots! 👍

Any thoughts?

honestly, they might just be getting lucky😂

Quitting

Michael Lee4 said:...

got any inside info on the monsoon in Shanghai? 😬

Just like what happened in Malaysia—plus a swarm of locusts

Eh, I haven't really been following... all I saw this morning was some sunshine.

Looks like Ferrari is channeling their nineties energy again😍

Everything is unfolding exactly how it should be

Let's go, Honda! 😛

That might sound a little silly now... but I've always had my money on Button, even back when everyone treated him like a complete underdog... 😁
It's like he's constantly within arm's reach, yet just out of grasp....

I wouldn't call Alonso being pessimistic 😉

but I certainly wouldn't say he's overly optimistic either 🙂 🙂

You might want to get used to this 😛

because the winds of change are already blowing elsewhere.🍿
