I hope 2009 is the last year for Jensen to race anything at all. He is so uninspired or just blatantly trying to fall back to keep the championship alive. Whatever he's just become a lazy ass douche and I hope Rubens smotes him.
@Maxichamp: well I seen the Motegi crash ambulance which is the JPN AWD version of the Honda Odyssey. Even for a regular car let alone a van its a looker.
@IronicalBalls: Yeah, there was a Honda minivan next to the Accord wagon. But I really want a pic of the wagon. Don't get me wrong, the van is cool too. Thanks.
I'll admit right now, I've been following the wins and stats for the season but I've only actually watched Australia. Now that that is said, I'm not sure who I'm pulling for for the championship, Button or Vettel. Barrichello isn't on my radar.
@PowerTryp forever Minardi: All three guys would make interesting champs. I'd kind of like to see Rubens win just because no one would have ever thought it was possible. Vettel will win championships in the future. He's too good not to.
Alguersuari's slide through the ING sign was worthy of slo-mo replay. And as far as Vettel is concerned, I was nearly certain his engine was going to let go; things were just going too well for him. Great course, although qualifying was definitely the more exciting event.
Qualifying is the best part of F1, and Suzuka's was crazy. The raced lacked drama, but that is the way it goes in F1. It is funny that Rosberg got away with speeding during the safety car period because his low fuel warning came on and occupied the screen which would give the SC status.
What exactly is in that Brawn? Flux capacitors? Chaparral ground-sucking fans? Turbos? Kryptonite? Depleted Uranium?
From no team to winning? There's some serious Brawn witchcraft. Now we know why Schumi was so good.
And the race itself was quite spectacular, if a little disappointing to watch as a Ferrari fan chanting "Bring the rain, bring the rain, bring the rain." in my head after that "gamble" which, frankly, lacked common sense.
@Mobius_1: Ion cannons operating on a wavelength outside the human eye's range. Controlled from orbit by Ross Brawn's outboard brain. It's fairly obvious.
Could you guys please not put the race result right in the headlines? I haven't watched it yet, and although Button winning isn't a total surprise, it makes it just that little bit interesting.
Your colleagues at Autoblog have managed this little courtesy, so I think you guys should too.
@Vatsal Garach: I see your point but what would you suggest for the headline?
On a related note: I can't seem to find mention of the Malaysian Grand Prix on Autoblog. On the other hand, every single news site that does mention the race does so with Button's victory as the headline.
@Vatsal Garach: I know this is a tough one. I DVR it and watch it when I wake up because I know going online will inevitably reveal the winners if not in the headlines in the comments. It is impossible to keep the truth down.
@rudolphdude: Yup. I Tivo it and watch it first thing in the morning-- before I turn on my computer and before I check the text message from Speed with the results. It's all about discipline.
Should have started one hour earlier, would have been one of the best races. Somehow gives a good feeling when Vettel overtakes Hamilton. So far I´m enjoying the season.
