2009 Singapore Formula One Grand Prix

[Willie Trombone]

Well, serious racing from Hamilton got him the deserved win... there was only one time that it looked like Vettel took a half a second chunk out of his lap time - right before Vettel's mirror went walkabouts. Alonso and Glock on the podium thanks to Sutil's pirouette into Heidfeld and Vettel's pit lane racing. Very scrappy race overall.

Never mind farkin multichoice, try eskom deciding 15 minutes into the gp they are going to fix the farkin power grid down the road and 2 hours

Can someone give me a basic run down of what happened. First gp i have missed all season

 

[ToxicBunny]

Cars drove around the track... a few crashed, and they crossed the line after roughly 2 hours...

There we go, quick run down

Oh, and they had a few pitstops as well...

See I even gave you some detail as well.....

Sure thing, killa:

Cars went round and round a track quite a lot.
Hamilton went round and round the track faster than anyone else.

There you are...

 

[killadoob]

Ok did i not mention some details other than the obvious dammit!!!!!!!

No wait don't tell me, newshost will have it loaded in a couple hours will just download it hehehe.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Oh.. stuff that wasn't obvious...

Ummm...... The cars went very fast? nope, ok thats obvious...

Ummmm the buildings near the one bridge are shaped like microphones... yes.. there we go, thats not obvious

 

[DJ...]

And the lights in building 7 use 400W bulbs, not 300W as everyone seems to think...

 

[ToxicBunny]

People thought they were 300W?!?!?!...boggles the mind it does.

Shame did Ferrari race?
First time I watched a GP and I think I saw a Ferrari twice in the whole race...

Ferrari need alonso very badly, look at what he can do with a renault and in my opinion the ferrari is better but the drivers are not great.

I think the move will do more harm than good to SF. Alonso seems to be stubborn and like to throw his toys when he does not get his way.

But as for the race, it was great to watch for a change. especially when Vettel had some speed and was hounding Hamilton. Webber was unlucky to get told to let Alonso through for the same driving that was done by Kimi a few weeks ago, and he got away with it. But the FIA stewards only consistancy, is that they are inconsistent.

Fisi drove a Force India to second place, so my guess is it is probably the car and not the drivers.

 

[ToxicBunny]

This was covered in the race....

The Force Indias are in last place again due to the design philosphy of their cars.. they're low downforce-high speed cars which is why they shone in a few races...

+1 - look at Force India in that race - nowhere. That track does not support cars that favour high speed tracks.... it does support cars that, with serious driving skills, can get around corners well... brake well...
