monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 He probably knows the car better than anyone but he's been out of racing for 10 years so his racecraft will be very rusty... You'd think Ferrari might do the sensible thing and offer someone else the drive for far better publicity. Valentino Rossi would be amusing to see, although his Yamaha contract would never allow it. Bruno Senna would be another possible which would create a mini media storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladie Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Luca's been around for ever testing for Ferrari, but no way will he be any good doing the whole race distance.Fail :1eye: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Evil1 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yeah, but you've also got the whole part about him never having scored a single point across 48 races...He was close a few times.First time for everything!! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Shame about the pitstop blunder that cost Lewis Hamilton's another victory, though nice for Rubens to finally bag a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Evil1 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Glad to see rubens win, first in 5 years.Was a silly mistake in pits, but dont think it cost him the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hamilton, who led from the start, was engaged in a tight battle with Barrichello when he was delayed at his final pit stop because his tyres were not ready. But the mix-up did not cost him the race - an analysis of lap times suggests Barrichello would have beaten him anyway.Obviously there's a difference between catching someone and overtaking someone, but still...

Rusevelt Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Who would have thought Giancarlo Fisichella (team Force India) bagging pole in the qualifier Would have loved to have known the bookies odds on him doing that, probably something like 200-1. Obviously he wont win tomorrow's race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Lewis Hamilton bags pole for tomorrows race with a surprising second place grid for A.Sutil. Fisichella must feel absolutely gutted for his grid (14th-15th i think) slot for ferrari and not to mention that both Force India teams drivers placed higher, and on italian home soil. Oh the shame of it all for Giancarlo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Lack of in-season testing's gotta mean it's a bitch having to get used to a totally different car, totally different team setup, etc. - as well as the pressure of being on home turf. Can't have been fun for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Didn't watch qualifying, but from what Daddy said it's going to be very interesting. The Brawns are starting from 5th and 6th, but are both on one stops, whereas everyone else in front is on two.Should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Quite surprised Lewis didn't get a 10 place penalty or whatever for hindering Buemi... I thought that was a certainty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 If you're waiting to see the race later, don't read this.Final lap, near the end of it - he spun on a corner and binned the car. He was gonna be in 3rd place.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
