2009 FORMULA 1 CHINESE GRAND PRIX - Sun 19 April 2009

The Kid delivers yet again!!! :thumbsup:

And so does Alonso.

Despite the criticisms for the budget cuts etc, I for one is appreciating the fact that true talent is now making the difference.

Pork slice is Ham-burgered between the Ice cream man and Buemi.

I'm expecting an exciting Sunday!!!

[raptor1988]

Race predictions anyone? :think:

Race predictions anyone? :think:

- Vettel's red bull got problem? wat a pity... great potential driver!

- Renault is light on fuel because Briatore cannot loose face and just want to poke in front of Brawn... another great talented driver wasted...

- I think Brawn has good chance again!:bigeyes:

The top 3 cars were running light.

Since there're good opportunities for overtaking, let's see how the race unfold tomorrow! :thumbsup:

For this race, I feel that Ferrari still has some catching up to do, but should be able to score some points here. However I feel that Brawn will not win, but Vettel do stand a good chance. Alonso may just sneak in front though.

Still my support will still on Ferrari!

GO FERRARI!!!

My prediction goes to Brawn. Unless it storms, or the safety car gets deployed before the 1st pit-stop window. :angry:

Sorry to you, but i dun think Ferrari is able to score any points at China. I think it will be 0 for them again. ;p

Looking at the above. The top 3 i dun think they are really fast, only becoz they are light on fuel.

I think Brawn are the fastest still. In Practise 2, Jenson Button was so fast, dipping below 1min36sec, but it could be he was light on fuel too, not sure.

Any website that i can watch live?

 

[Gunbucker]

I believe the Ferrari's are more heavily fueled, as they have removed that 40++KG of KERS.

website - not too sure. some sites might get blocked during the race. experienced that during the australian gp. best bet is either to go and catch it live at SportsBuzz@Paradiz, or install indoor antenna and tune into ntv7(msia tv channel).

perhaps on one of these coming races, we shall all meet up in SportsBuzz@Paradiz and catch a race together. how about that? :think:

 

[raptor1988]

Sounds good.. have not watched a live rce since the one at marina last yr.. :thumbsup:

 

[huggable]

Haven't found any good (QOS) streaming site, but if you don't mind textual "live" updates, you can view it from f1.com.
