2009 China GP General Discussion with loads of spoilers!

Decent race apart from the slow start :cool: 18 cars finished in the rain! not sure if its down to the track or the drivers
Good race from redbull there well worth their one two.

Good job by Red Bull. Good race always is in the wet. The reason there were so many left in the end is the HUGE run off areas everywhere. One point to add is it put the myth Hamilton is a god in the rain and Massa is rubbish. After the silverstone race every one jumped on Massa for spining loads of times, no more than Lewis today. Just shows the chassis/weight distribution dictates as much as the driver (to be fast).

Red bulls were untouchable in the wet, just like the Brawns were untouchable in the dry in Melbourne. Button will be itching he didn't get 10 points for the win in Malaysia, but if the race had continued in the rain, Kubica or Red Bull would have taken it from him, so he'd have ended up in a similar position anyway. If this form keeps up, the weather is going to be the deciding factor this year, not the teams or drivers.

Vettel +3 seconds a lap faster than the field! - with NO diffuser, and NO KERS.
I hereby call a moritorium on all comments that the KERS/diffuser cars have an unfair advantage, on pain of the commentator being branded a blinkered moron. Also grist to the mill that the driver is well down the list of contributory factors when it comes to success.

massa was rubbish in Silverstone, not his fault but the car setup, he had no throttle control

Hamilton today was pushing hard and the mistakes looked like they were due to him being on the limit... he was moving up the field

Enjoyed the race today, would have liked if had dried out a bit at the end to add a bit of excitment, but good to see some close racing through out the field

Reported for personal abuse. :P:D

Only a week til Bahrain and no more stupid start times til October or so, woooo! I reckon the Brawns will have Bahrain in the bag provided they're reliable.

Good race today, not the best though what with all the rain and the safety car out, watched it at one and I was wondering why they only showed Lap 48 onwards now I know, Congratulations to Red Bull they deserved the victories today;), as for Ferrari somethings not right there:(
