I'm not at all surprised. Anderson has no experience in F1; I'm not really sure what Windsor's job was while "manager" at Williams, since Patrick Head was the real man in charge at Williams (as technical director). Prodrive should really have gotten the nod ahead of USF1. David Richards is an experienced campaigner, being a former manager of Benetton & BAR.
Vettel has the pole position for the first race then. Schumacher starts 7th. Hopefully the cars will be more equal this year.
Those pit stops are insane now. 2-3 seconds for the top teams to switch tires. And without pneumatic jacks no less. Congrats to Ferrari taking 1-2.
This video really made me laugh. You might have to be Northern European to get it but have a look yourself. Perkele is well something you'd shout if you dropped a hammer on your toe. But it doesn't really mean "Damn it" or "Fuck" or anything like that. Its the name of the head-god in Finnish mythology (a thunder-god thats sort of like Thor). It used to be a power word, a call for strength but the Christian church started demonizing the old gods it got associated with the devil and that is why it is a swear word now. The race was incredibly boring though.
It was still an awesome race. It's just too bad Hamilton got sandwiched between an asshole and a dusty cunt, even still he's gotta step it up if he wants to win a championship plus he cant be getting beat by Button.
Lights out for USF1, can't say I'm surprised. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/02/report-usf1-shuts-doors-apparently-for-good/
Absolute shocker by Red Bull. Both drivers should have known better, cost them a 1-2 finish and points in the championship. Still great that Webber got a podium finish and is still leading in the points. Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Great race this past weekend and the bumble fucks at Red Bull gifted a 1-2 finish for McLaren!! On another note looks like F1 will be returning to the US via Texas. http://www.pitpass.com/fes_php/pitpass_news_item.php?fes_art_id=40892
What a nice way to start a Sunday. I get to watch the worlds best drivers trying to drive low downforce cars on one of the great race tracks of the world. I really would like to see Webber win the title this year. He is not the most gifted driver, but he is determined to win even when it looks like his teammate is being given preferential treatment. I thought Button drove a great race today and really wanted to see him win. Those Ferraris were way fast and I just knew that Button had to have the perfect pit stop. Oh well that is racing as they say. I thought Button was very gracious in the post race interviews.
