If they just handed out penalties to Ferrari and Red Bull too, they might actually land Alonso in 6th place.😁

Piquet at 10 😁

when you factor in those 694.50 kg 🤣😍 it’s going to be a total circus with a massive traffic jam 🙏

What is Alonso even doing? Honestly, that guy is such a joke; he won't even crack the top twelve.

nimblesurfer17 said: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... 👍

True—I can see it just by looking at Force India and McLaren.🙄

That is quite a vocabulary you have there.🙂 There really is no need to insult such a gem.☕

If this guy pulls off a win tomorrow, he’ll have officially made the greatest move in history. Someone mentioned they’d give anything to be sitting in on the next Honda board meeting, but honestly? I’d give anything to have been in that last room with Ross Brawn. I’d almost bet money that Brawn was just sitting there with his hands in his pockets, quietly praying Honda would pull the plug because he knew deep down that their engine didn't stand a chance.
It’s honestly such a smart move that he went with the Mercedes engine instead of the Ferrari one. It sets him up perfectly to absolutely smoke those Englishmen over at McLaren.

I honestly think that if Honda's engine hadn't been such a game-changer for the car's performance, Ross Brawn would never have put up his own cash to buy out the team after Honda pulled their funding. It was pretty obvious he knew exactly what made that car so fast and precisely what was missing.

Look, I'm not trying to insult anyone here, but let's be real—Hamilton and Alonso are just two slippery characters.

What happened with Brawn/Honda is easily one of the weirdest chapters in Formula 1 history—I mean, seeing them crawl up from the back of the pack to become untouchable by the start of the season (which, fingers crossed, we'll see again tomorrow) is just wild.

The Mercedes engine was the real game-changer here. My guess? Honda probably threw in the towel because of the development freeze and decided to let Brawn run with a better engine just to see if it actually worked. They didn't really have any other way to fix their engine situation. I'm not sure if all of this was planned—probably not—but either way, everything lined up perfectly right when it mattered most.

Beyond that, McLaren could make a killing here—it might even push Mercedes to go out and buy Brawn outright (partly due to that whole technology "exchange" 😁). But from what I can tell, the sponsors are already lining up at the door 🙂

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.😕

Man, you really are deep in that hateful rabbit hole regarding Hamilton, aren't you?

People have already been telling you that Hamilton lost his fourth gear... and honestly, once he clocked that remaining time, he actually beat Heikki—who basically just finished his lap after crossing the line one more time.

Maybe try learning how to count, LOL

If they manage to snag a few wins for VN, just imagine how much the heads at Honda will be clutching their hair in panic! 😂😂😂

P.S. It’s not about being racist; it’s just that Hamilton is a total slippery character and honestly isn't even that much of a driver.

Why would they even bother stressing? If they were still stuck with that Honda engine, they’d probably be fighting just to stay out of the cellar. 🤷

I’m starting to feel more and more like I’ll be spending tomorrow rooting for these retirees first and foremost🙏

I really need to stay calm while watching the race tomorrow 😁...because honestly, those last few races from last season aged me about ten years...

I’m thinking the exact same thing. If Mercedes takes over Brawn, and then Honda steps into McLaren instead... man, those good old McLaren Honda days would be back 🙂 My only worry is that if that actually happens, it might just blow things up in Johnson's face.

At first, I honestly thought this was just a classic bait-and-switch for sponsors, which you see all the time in pro sports these days. But now? I think I was wrong. I seriously can't wait for tomorrow. I just hope there isn't a total disaster right at the start. I really want to see how the "old guard" over at Brawn GP holds their own against hungry drivers like Kubica, Vettel, and Rosberg until the checkered flag.

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

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

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

That sounds like a good plan to me.🤣

It's all because of the championship on the forum.😉

Feel free to root for BMW; I have a feeling they’re going to pull off something special tomorrow.☕

BMW is just too slow.

I’d love to give you a witty comeback right about now, but I really don't need another strike on my record.☕

BMW is going to pull off a massive surprise tomorrow.😳

(It'll be Kubica, obviously)😁
