7 from me

I didn't think it was bad, really.

Massa (to have it compromised a bit). He did a good job, look at where he started.
My first choice would have been Vettel ofcourse.

Also, honourable mentions to Rosberg and Fisichella.

Pretty dull race but a result im well happy with.

Bit of trivia,
Anyone know if a team has won theyre first 2 races,with 1 and 2 finishes before???

Jenson goes home, and has his worst finish of the year. It's kind of sad. Congrats to Sebastian Vettel for his third win.

We're going to Suzuka this year

Are we?

and next year as well...

Toyota have pulled Fuji off the calender, many believe it was an indication they were going to do a Honda at the end of the year but with the FOTA situation it might be something to do with that also, but the track was pulled at the end of May so it may well be that Toyota is preparing to do a midnight flick.

Quote:

Speculation is growing that Toyota is to depart Formula One after the world's largest car manufacturer withdrew Fuji Speedway as one of the venues for the Japanese Grand Prix.

The circuit - set evocatively at the foothills of the iconic Mount Fuji to the west of Tokyo - returned to the top flight in 2007 after an absence of three decades and following extensive modifications on safety grounds, and is currently alternating with Suzuka as the country's grand prix host.

However, it has now been disclosed by Japanese newspaper the Asahi Shimbun that Toyota - who own the track - have chosen to pull Fuji from the 2010 schedule, meaning the race will remain at Suzuka for the foreseeable future.

It is understood that financial considerations have played a significant part in the decision.

I actually quite enjoyed it. Gets a solid 7 from me.

kart99 · PostPosted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 5:28 pm

Fisichella for me.

BBC coverage was top-notch. A 10.

Giancarlo Fisichella.

Just a 3 from me.

Dunno why, but I just lost all interest after about 35 laps and switched over to the World Touring Cars.

The new aero regulations really suck and hardly any overtaking actually came out of the battles on track...

His double overtake at Stowe was awesome.

Can anyone PM me a youtubelink of that? Haven't seen F1 for over 2 months now and i'd like to see that.

Vettel for sure but Fisi also drove brilliantly, finishing just 2 seconds off a point.

kals · PostPosted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 5:47 pm

3 - terrible race but it did have a few moments thanks to Heidfeld, Alonso and Hamilton.

noikeee · PostPosted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 5:51 pm

I liked it. Fun racing at the back, conflicting strategies at the front. Not the best race ever but got me far far more interested than Turkey. Voted a 7.

De Cesaris fan · PostPosted: Sun Jun 21, 2009 5:54 pm

Vettel drove well but Red Bull was so superior that it wasn't a surprise.

So point to Fisi for beating both Renault's, both Mclarens and Naka :thumbsup:

5 cars that should have been ahead.

6. Could be better .....

After Turkey it was a decent race.

+ For a clean start it was good
+ Some nice battles (Alonso+Hamilton, and BMWs with both of them earlier)
+ Bourdais trying to get SC, but FIA failed to use debris caution as an excuse to make it interesting again
+ Fisichella's race pace and nice overtaking manouver at Stowe over Alonso and Heidfeld
+ Button didn't win (I don't want the title to be settled before Suzuka)
+ Lots of fans compared to Turkish race, nice goodbye (?) for Silverstone

So 6/10 for me...
