Title: Formula One - Australian GP ( Spoilers ) Post by: Jester on March 28, 2010, 05:18:16 PM I didn't see a thread on the race this weekend, but it was a damn good one to watch. Lots of overtaking, crashes, wet/dry strategy. Loved it. [thumbsup] Button took his slicks before the field and turned it into a nice victory... and Hamilton is just a wild man, that is all. Too bad for Schumi getting caught up in the first turn crash. He made a nice recovery for 10th after heading to the back of the field and taking 3 stops. When is the luck going to go Vettel's way? Poor guy.

Title: Re: Formula One - Australian GP ( Spoilers ) Post by: pennyrobber on March 28, 2010, 07:08:43 PM One of the best races in a long time. [thumbsup] +1. There was some good passing and it was nice to see the overall aggression. Title: Re: Formula One - Australian GP ( Spoilers ) Post by: Oldfisti on March 29, 2010, 04:54:05 AM I can see how no refuelling can put a team at a disadvantage in certain situations. Look what happened to Shuey. Lap 2 nose change and now you can't top off the tank and change the fuel strategy to get some position back.
FAIL. Great race tho... [thumbsup] Title: Re: Formula One - Australian GP ( Spoilers ) Post by: superjohn on March 29, 2010, 05:47:49 AM Much better racing this time. Both Alonso and Hamilton having to come back through the field. Button making the call to go out on slicks (which I thought at the time, "they should have done that with Hamilton instead", and then when Jenson was sliding all over the place I thought, "Oh that was a stupid call, he's going to bin it for sure" and then he wins!!
Great drama, great strategy, and great racing. [thumbsup] |
