Whoa wtf bmw whoaaa. They are this year's Honda

not quite that bad...the wing replacements for each driver in the first few laps really fucked them this race.

[DrDickAction]

FUCK YOU KUBICA.

seriously...what does he have against trulli?

[MrHahn]

I think Piquet holding up Barrichello was the saving grace of that race. Rubens waving his arm at a shitty Renault that he couldn't pass - what a bitch.

Overall I think a rather dismal race, at a dismal looking circuit (dont mind the circuit though)

Bahrain GP - Fastest race laps
April 26, 2009 by James Allen
I always like to look at the fastest race laps, it tells you a lot about the relative pace of the cars and as this is the first ‘normal’ race on a ‘normal’ track it is quite instructive.

The fastest car in qualifying and race was the Toyota. They should have won their first victory today, but they made the wrong tyre choice at the first stop and it left both drivers vulnerable.

McLaren will be hugely encouraged by their performance here. From being over 2 seconds off the pace of Brawn when I first saw this car on the same track at the Barcelona test, they have closed the gap to a few tenths and must fancy their chances of competing for the world championship. If I were a betting man I’d slide down the bookies and put a few quid on Hamilton to win the title.

1. Trulli (Toyota) 1m 34.556
2. Button (Brawn) 1m 34.588
3. Vettel (Red Bull) 1m 34.756
4. Hamilton (McLaren) 1m 34.915

5. Massa (Ferrari) 1m 35.065
6. Bourdais (Toro Rosso)1m 35.410
7. Piquet (Renault) 1m 35.410
8. Kubica (BMW) 1m 35.706
9. Rosberg (Williams) 1m 35.816

10. Sutil (Force India) 1m36.219

So the whole field is covered by 1.7 seconds, which is about the same amount of time it takes to say “Giancarlo Fisichella” - imagine that; after a lap of 95 seconds, 10 cars flashing across the line in that brief window of time, that is how close it is in F1 at the moment.

And the exciting thing is that the updates coming to the car in Barcelona will move the order around. I fear a bit for Williams, who have not capitalised on their advantage with the double diffuser. They will be swallowed up if they are not careful.

think rubens will be around next year?
I'm hoping that after BGP gets their car in line and developed, they'll let him go and get some fresh young talent *cough*Senna*cough*

Odds are good as long as senna isn't still pussy hurt about getting stiffed this year.

If the budget cap thing goes through there are going to be A LOT of seats...ib we see Rubens next year

I honestly think that Rubens is WAY over the hill. He's in a championship contending car, and he's that far behind Jenson? Jenson isn't the greatest driver on the grid, he's good, but all these guys can win a championship if you give them a good enough car and a teammate that can play backup. And what does that say about Rubens? He was second tier to Michael, and now he's second tier to Jenson.....

oh yeah, I almost forgot.
