F1 2011 SEASON!

[Speed]

Both Sauber's have been disqualified by the stewards, disappointed as I was impressed with Perez' one stop strategy :(

 

They're appealing though...

[Iced_Bullet]

This is the only logical explanation: The ruling means Ferraris Felipe Massa moves up to seventh.

 

:lol:

[Speed]

Ferrari International Assistance strikes again :rtr:

[Camel]

:lol:

 

I'm shocked that they didn't DQ Hamilton too. And Petrov... And Vettel while they were at it. :p

[Emporar]

Awwwwww poor Perez. First race, he does brilliantly and then gets disqualified. Not fair!

 

I want F1's engine regulations to go back to the 80's. Then you could have a massive turbo on a 1.5 litre 4 cylinder!

[Ryzza5]

For those of us who didn't watch the race, care to explain why the DQ's were issued?

[mau92]

For those of us who didn't watch the race, care to explain?

 

please! i didnt know there were dq's, its the first race, c'mon!

[Ryzza5]

Fine, then - I did a Google, which, erm, lead me to this site :susp:

[DJdan]

well i was kinda happy for Kobayashi to get some points at the very first race since i really think he is a great racing driver...

 

but now the Ferrari International Assistance has taken it away and gave it to Massa....

 

im pretty annoyed

[superhyper]

Oooooh, such an exciting race! There was something going on all the time! Great start from the renaults and Heidfeld managed to finish third! Shame that Petrov didn't finish, was a great race from him too and I really wanted to see him finish on a good position too :(

[The Compensator]

Well, I lol'd when Petrov jumped high and then he lost his steering wheel. "Oh, my Lada can't turn!"

 

It was nice race, Heidfeld was very good, shame about Hamilton...:sulk:

[Iced_Bullet]

Highlights of the race: Petrov requesting take off and landing permission. And the 3-a-breast overtaking :)

[superhyper]

I'm so happy when Hamilton failed the race, he was up for a podium finish and then finished 7th :rofl:

 

Same thing about Alonso. "Okay Fernando, calm down, your rear wing isn't working" *crashes into Hamilton* :D

 

I really hope Renault can keep the great pace up. I think Petrov has potential to become a great driver...:p

#my dream, is to fly, ovah dah rainbow, so high....#

[Iced_Bullet]

What the fudge?!?!?!??!

 

How was it anyway Hamilton's fault? O.O. I'm not being fanboy, I genuinely cannot see how he did anything wrong... He didn't swerve or whatever? All I can see id that he was following the racing line, then made a slight turn right (which he is allowed to do...)

 

What's next? Petrov penalised for leaving the track for too long'a length of time?! :lol:

 

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso have been hit with 20-second penalties following a collision in Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix.

 

The verdict means that Hamilton drops from seventh to eighth place, although Alonso retains sixth.

 

Hamilton's penalty was for making more than one change of direction while defending his position. Alonso's was for causing a collision.

 

Alonso was trying to pass Hamilton after Turn 3 but clipped the McLaren.

Well, Hammi did swerve right do defend, so Alonso wasn't able to make a clear move anymore.

 

No point in penalizing both of them though, with no penalty it would be the same :p

[Ryzza5]

So now they're penalizing drivers to make the sport even less exciting than it already is? :lol:

 

I'd rather watch touring cars any day.

[Iced_Bullet]

What makes me lol is that the majority of penalties which the FIA dish out somehow benefits the Ferraris >> This one, although he got a 20 second penalty, he didn't change place. Lol.

[superhyper]

My day just keeps getting better! :btup

[Iced_Bullet]

Aparently Hamilton's penalty was related to a previous lap. Not the one shown in the video. >>

[Kelvjy]

Renault have the best sounding F1 car this year :bow: Sounds bad ass :twisted:

 

Pretty average race today.

[CarMadMike]

Great race, was very entertaining.

 

Hamilton and Webber had fantastic drives, I'd of liked to have seen button on the podium too but nevermind, I suppose that's his own fault for getting the pit wrong earlier in the race haha

 

Now I'm off back to bed.

[superhyper]

I guess the race was all good before lap 51. Normally I'd be really happy because Webber had such a great race but I can't. Bleh. I could have slept long today but no, woke up just to see this?

 

E: Thanks for das Shamilton fanboy for the rep! Loving it! :D

 

I'm NOT a Vettel fanboy (at least not that much *whistles*), I'M A HAMILTON HATER! DEAL WITH IT! :whistle:
