Formula 1 - Season 2009

Bernie Ecclestone made a bad mistake and showed that he's too old to hold that much power. That new regulation would have killed the competition totally...I'm glad every team was against it and seems it will be postponed and eventually forgotten.

 

Some people say that the Ecclestone's proposal is linked to the unbeliavable speed Ross Brawns team has at the moment but who knows :shifty:

McLaren, Ferrari, BMW Sauber and Renault all won races in 2008 and at least three of them are confident of winning more in 2009. But they are also aware that this season has all the ingredients for serious surprises - major rule changes, no in-season testing, and some worryingly different interpretations of the technical regs by supposedly â??juniorâ?? rivals.

So do the big guns head to Melbourne with the firepower to stay ahead of the chasing pack? We consider their chancesâ?¦

DESPITE the celebratory vibe in Melbourne yesterday, Mark Webber was hardly full of optimism at the launch of the Australian Grand Prix.

 

Australia's lone F1 driver declared that his Red Bull car had already been overtaken by its rivals before the season had begun. "The others have developed better than we have," Webber said.

 

While Webber's car had shown early promise, the landscape has changed - from the shape of the cars to the tyres and aerodynamics. Webber conceded that the basic set-up of the Red Bull car suited his new team-mate Sebastian Vettel's driving style better than his own.

 

The 32-year-old also admitted he had never encountered such a close pre-season.

 

"It is really difficult to read who is doing what," he said. "I think it is too close to call.

 

Oh Dear :p:neener:

1 Nico Rosberg Williams-Toyota 1:26.687

2 Kazuki Nakajima Williams-Toyota 1:26.736 0.049

3 Kimi Räikkönen Ferrari 1:26.750 0.063 24

4 Rubens Barrichello Brawn-Mercedes 1:27.226

5 Heikki Kovalainen McLaren-Mercedes

 

For much of the first practice session of 2009, Kimi Raikkonen and Ferrari held sway, but right at the end it was like old times from the Nineties as Williams went one-two, courtesy of Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima.
