25s penalty for Jarno sees Lewis inherit third spot on the podium.

Trulli's comment on it is that Hamilton slowed down and moved to the side of the road and pretty much let Trulli past him. Maybe Lewis though he had passed Trulli "illegally" earlier. Kinda messy situation. Still hate to see this happen like this. :nope:

Too bad about Kubica and Vettel.:nope:

At least Vettel admitted his mistake and did not blame other drivers.:yeah:

I still don't see the advantage of that KERS stuff. When everyone has it in the foreseeable future no one has an advantage any more and overtaking is as difficult again as without.:shifty:

Too bad for both drivers in the end, but I say its part of racing :rock:
great start for a season :DL

yeah, when LH used it at the very end of the race I got impression that it increases power by 8 HP instead of 80. Good that sth else than Ferrari and Maclaren appeared-we will see how long they stay on the box.

Entertaining race. Nice to see B&B 1/2.

They reckon it will be of more use at Sepang with the longer straights.

I still hope Brawn will be on top.

although Lewis got lucky with RK and SV taking each other out it was still a good drive in a rubbish car. I think it puts paid to the "can only do well in a good car argument"

This year's cars are the ugliest I have seen for a long time.

You think so? I think the Brawn is the best looking and they look better without all those winglets etc hanging off them.

HunterICX 03-30-09 03:47 AM

The tail is something to get used too seeying it, but the noses defintly looks better.

Am I the only one to find a similarty in its look with the 2001 Ferrari? The nose resembles the old Ferrari a lot :hmmm:

Linton 03-30-09 11:27 AM

I think the only car that looked worse than this year's initial effort was a couple of years ago when some teams ran cars with very tall aero structures either side of the cockpit for a few races.
This year's cars design rationale are explained here:
