2009 Australian Grand Prix - Melbourne (Central Park)

Still, I don't buy the "deception" theory. Isn't it more likely just pure engine conservation? They know the power unit works, so why push it unnecessarily? :P

Sure, the engineers know their engine better than anyone, but they couldn't be 100% certain if the other teams were hiding their best cards. It just doesn't sit right with me that they didn't push it to the absolute limit during at least one free practice session just to see how much ground they could actually gain on the competition in the USA. 🤷

But hey, all credit to Brawn. That car was an absolute beast, and they really showed off their strength during qualifying and the race itself. 🙏

still feels like there's 😁

check the p.p.

You made your point, man, it's just that nobody bothered to listen back then... I've been reading these threads for years and it's always the same thing.🙏 🤣🤣

Spam 🙏🙏

Just go check out the thread from the last race and you'll see we were pretty much everyone on this side. 🙏🙏🙏

Absolute spam squared 🙏🙏

If you actually felt that way.... then🙏🙏 what a joke.....

And as for the spam🙏
And that old thread too🙏

The way Glock handled Hamilton lacked any semblance of true sportsmanship...🙂

"Sportsmanship,"😂 🤣you say? I recall a few seasons back when Rubens Barrichello was instructed to let Michael Schumacher past just inches from the finish line. Where was that spirit then?😳

Wasn't it Barrichello back then, or...🤔

It’s true, but at least those two were driving for the same outfit... these guys aren't even in the same league, which makes the comparison a million times worse.
So there really isn't any basis for a comparison here...😁😂😉🙂👍

There is absolutely nothing more pathetic than watching a second driver—a professional athlete, no less—act like a complete coward instead of stepping up to the plate.😳

Since they were teammates, it's obvious there was an agreement in place.😂 Otherwise, you're just speculating.☕

Only McLaren fans would dare make a guess like that, but if you actually take a step back and look at the facts... it’s better to just stay quiet because it's clearly

Not sure what you're getting at. I just remember one race in Indianapolis where Schumacher actually let Barrichello take it right before the line. ☕

It doesn't really matter; I already know someone from that group was let go. Honestly, the whole situation was such an embarrassment that it isn't even worth bringing up.☕

The reality is that using dry tires on a wet track at those speeds—especially when the car is sliding all over the place in a corner—gives you about one-fifth the grip of an idiot walking through a slushy Chicago winter...🤣🤣

Anyway, let's not derail the thread, I'd appreciate it if we could move on from this debate👍...(you know how it is, mistybear87 is getting up there in years, so they don't catch everything 🙏🙏).....

I agree that it might be best to move on from this topic😉. In my opinion, even one more penalty could potentially be fatal for us😢

Let's head over to Malaysia and see who really comes out on top👍.

I’m honestly quite relieved to see we’re all on the same page regarding the fact that VN Australia is officially a thing of the past 🙂
