2009 Australian Grand Prix - Melbourne (Central Park)

This is some gold-standard information right here, seriously worth its weight in gold. 🙏

Honestly, if they actually start trying to explain why it’s number 20, then the whole thing has just completely gone off the rails.🤣🤣

Why though?🤷
I have my doubts that Brawn GP would even be where they are today if they were still running those Honda engines... 🤣🤣
At this point, Mercedes is basically the heart of the car... 😁
All they need to do now is change the team colors... 👍

I honestly can't wait; I am absolutely buzzing for this race.

18. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 655
11. Heikki Kovalainen, McLaren, 690.6😲

Heikki is way faster than Hamilton even though he's carrying way more weight. It's insane, but looks like Heikki is finally actually driving somewhere.👍

5. Nico Rosberg, Williams, 657
14. Kazuki Nakajima, Williams, 612.5 😲😲 😲Who even is this kid? Looks like Nakajima is heading to the pits by lap 3.🤣How on earth is he that much slower than Rosberg? This is seriously weird.😕

They’d be right where they are even with the Honda engines.☕

God, 😲....damn, with that KERS system, something is bound to blow up eventually 🤣🤣

They always push poor Piquet to his absolute limit and then just leave him out there on the track like that 🤣

Maybe they're just looking for an excuse to get rid of him....🤷 😈

Well, I guess we'll just never know...☕
The reality of the situation is that we have Mercedes engines under the hood now, and Brawn GP is exactly where they ended up—period. Anything else you want to throw into the mix is just pure "what if" territory, which, let's be honest, borders on science fiction.

People keep arguing that Brawn is only ahead because of their diffuser. Honestly, they're missing the point.
Right now, they’ve got something under the hood that nobody else can touch. I really don't see anyone catching up to them anytime soon.

If they run into any trouble, it’ll probably be due to potential Safety Car situations.
Cars running KERS are visibly more unstable, and don't even get me started on everyone's front wing issues.

Personally, if we start seeing more frequent Safety Cars, it’s just going to kill the quality of the racing.

And one last thing: man, I am absolutely losing it over those Honda big shots in Tokyo—what a mess, especially since they're all lumped in with Fry, naturally. 😠

I really can't stand this guy.******

Jose Taylor17 said:Rosberg really needs this victory...☕
unless someone ends up out of the race entirely.🙂

Until yesterday you were a BMW supporter, what happened to you suddenly??????

Rebecca Thomas5 said:😁

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...

Man, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about... just back off!

John Bennett4 said:Even if it is just the livery, at least the color is actually decent—a far cry from that tacky, cheap Italian red they always seem to use 😂

There's really no need to stoop to their level...

Jessica Ramos12 said:I'm thinking the race starts at 8 because of Daylight Saving Time tonight.

That sounds like a good plan to me.🤣

18😉

i nick is full—I actually put money down on him finishing in the top 6. Honestly, I have no clue why they bumped the odds from 3 to 5.5

feralcanyon73 said:They’d be right where they are even with the Honda engines.☕

Not a chance. If you ask me, Ross Brawn paired with Mercedes would have been a much more formidable combination. 👍

So, when does the race actually wrap up? What time should I set my alarm for?🤷😁

Jessica Ramos12 said:So, when does the race actually wrap up? What time should I set my alarm for?🤷😁

We’re looking at 7:00 AM by the old standards, but if you’re sticking to the new schedule, expect everything to shift to 8:00 AM.👍

Nakajima is clocked at 680 kg; it seems like the FIA might have made a bit of a mistake during the weighing process, according to what was reported.

I didn't manage to upload it

Why on earth did they put those two from Toyota at the back of the line?🤷
