Masterful win for Jenson, his first lap move on the slow Lewis Hamilton (4th) won him the race and allowed him & the Brawn team to control the race.

Vettel got a well deserved place and 3rd spot for Jarno Trulli in the Toyota.

Sorry this one is short but I gotta flight to catch and loads to do, see you soon. kushtee.

Jenson Button wins!

I think the Toyota’s are probably light and may stop maybe 5 laps before everyone else, not sure how that will pan out in the race but it certainly looks good for Jenson Button in the Brawn and Sebastian Vettel in the Red Bull, looks like they may be on similar  fuel loads.

Kimi didnt have as good a Q3 as he did Q1-Q2 but still looking much much better than the last 3 races, I hope he can do something tomorrow.

Really looking forward to the race, lets hope it has no interuptions like the last few, theres always a chance of a sandstorm rather than a rainstorm in Bahrain.

Until tomorrow, kushtee.

The Ferrari’s and McLarens are going well and put in some good times, is the this start of the return?

Jenson Button and Rubes Barrichello seem to be struggling in the BrawnGP car, many thought the hot weather would suit the car, are they struggling or is this just part of Ross Brawn’s master plan, we will see.

Looking forward to Qualifying in an hour or so.

Some good interviews and article’s over at James Allen’s blog visit http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/ and take a look.

See you later, kushtee

Another wet race, surely not in Bahrain too.

So, Vettel emerges king of the wet, again, he has a steady foot in the wet and seemed to enjoy driving the Red Bull today, a 1-2 for Red Bull wont do them any harm at all, Im sure their spirits are high for the rest of the season. Mark Webber still continues to be the unluckiest F1 driver to date, he probably doesnt see it that way but what does he have to do to get a win, I think he’s a great driver and he’s not afraid to be aggresive to either keep a place or gain a place, I’m sure his time will come. lets hope so, good luck Mark.

Jenson did well to get his 3rd podium, all be it 3rd, he increases his lead in the championship, and, he got more points than his 1st place 2 weeks ago, see older article for my rant on that.

Adrian Sutil has to be one of the unlickiest guys today, running in 6th after Hamilton went off track he had a spin spin and hit the wall at some pace, unlucky.

No points for Ferrari (grrr) again and BMW left empty handed too, Hamilton did well I feel from his 9th place on the grid. So, onto Bahrain next week, unfortunately its also the 2nd round of the MotoGP, not sure if they clash time wise but I will have to have 2 tv’s next to each other if they do. Lets hope Bahrain brings us a race without incident.

Later, kushtee.

Red Bull - Vettel 1st win for Red Bull pic itv-f1

I dont know why the media is billing this as a shock pole for vettel, firstly the Red Bull cars have been going well for a while, Webber missed out on the pole so Vettel took it, whats the big surprise????

Vettel has been driving well for a while and threatening something good, maybe even a second win is close although I suspect a low fuel load, maybe something similar to Buttons.

At the end of the day I would expect Ross Brawn to pull something out of the bag in terms of pit lane strategy, we will see. Lets hope Jenson has more fuel on board so he can put in some of those flying laps he’s been doing lately.

Alonso managed to pull a front row start out of the bag to give the Renault engine the top 3 places, lets hope he can translate it into a podium position. Definitely a mixed grid for tomorrows race, I’m really looking forward to it, it looks like we wont have any interuptions to upset proceedings for the race anyway.

Hamilton seems to be enjoying the car a bit more now he has a version of the diffuser that McLaren were opposing only a few days ago, hah, still only managing a 9th on the grid though.

So who’s for the win, I’m not sure I want to stick my neck out on this one, who do you think, let me know?

Vettel on pole at China

The diffuser issue that has been hanging the championship in the balance has been sorted out, I notice that Mc Laren, the team that was opposing the diffuser were quick to get one fitted to their car.

Lewis was quickest in 1st practice with the new diffuser on-board, come second practice it was Rosberg and Jenson, you can read the practice 2 article over at itv-f1 http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=45573

I’m hoping Ferrari will be getting their act together soon, I cant remember when they were so on their back foot, maybe pre Schumacher. 

Anyway, we’ll see I suppose, I’ll keep you updated with views over the next few days.

If you want to put your money down leave a reply and let me know who you think will on the podium this weekend.

Later, kushtee.

Ron Dennis cuts ties with F1 side of Mc Laren to supposedly concentrate on road car section, hehe, yeh so would I Ron.

Ron Dennis - pic from itv-f1

I mean come on, Jenson finishes in 1st, normally 10 point but gets 5 so currently sitting on 15 points for the 2 wins.

Hamilton finishes 7th, normally 2 points but gets one, you see where I’m goin with this, he’s only 14 point behind the current leader instead of the 18 points that he should be, basically a win and a podium would see him back at the top.

No-one thought this through did they, the leaders get compromised while the back of the pack dont.

Stupid? let me know.

Ross Brawn was always confident that his as well as Toyota and Williams diffusers were legal, he has this awesome knack of getting the most out the the rules that are dished out to the teams.

Brawn GP

After the lying that Lewis has done I should hope not, anyway I doubt he’ll be able to get in the car becasue of the size of his nose…lol

See what James Allen has to say on the matter.
