wrong thread n00b

Vettel got third with a full 10.5kg more fuel on board than Trulli?

Wow...that guy is fucking good (which we all knew...but this just enforces things).

Can you imagine if Toyota finishes 1-2, third race in a row won by a team that had never experienced this type of success. Who knows Force India might pull out a win the way the season is going.

A couple of years ago I think Toyota announced that they would unveil the production LF-A after their first F1 victory.

I'm very curious to see if this is still the case, although with Vettel managing to take third spot with a relatively light fuel load and Kubica running on a one stopper (an assumption based on his near 700kg weight) I don't think Toyota should load the LF-A onto a plane just yet.

If a Toyota won, who would you rather it be?" Glock or Trulli?

As a German I would like it to be Glock (or Vettel) but Trulli deserve it as well.

@Bjorn: The 10.5 kg Vettel is heavier don't equal the 7/10ths Trulli was faster. Even if I have to say Trulli is an exceptional qualifier but in the race he often blows it for whichever reason. And I don't think Kubica will be anywhere near a podium unless something unusual happens.

Anyway, this is going to be a very interesting race.

[russell peters] BUTTON, YOUR RACE.....YOUR RACE AT BAHRAIN.....TOOOOO GOOD.....TOOOO GOOD....ABSOLUTELY MIND BLASTING!!!! [/russell peters]

LOL, Unfortunately, I read that with Russel Peters' Indian accent.

That was a good race. I think Ross Brawn is the most brilliant team boss on the grid.

I thought it was pretty boring. It was cool at the beginning, but then it started to get lame.

Until we knew Button was on a two stopper there was some uncertainty, and Vettel vs Trulli could have materialized into something good.

Yeah, after the first 10 laps or so it turned into a procession.

Good driving, though. Just not good racing. Alonso on Trulli was pretty much the highpoint.

I certainly wasn't exciting, but I wouldn't call it boring. I was getting so frustrated watching Piquet holding up Barrichello, the desperation in his driving was sad. If not for the KERS it would have taken 1/2 lap to get by, not 3. Seeing Massa and BMW seeming implode during the race wasn't enjoyable.

I think it was a pretty impressive win considering the Brawn engines were turned down to begin with and then turned even further down in the last stint.

Shame the Barrichello 3-stopper didn't work out. I think it could have been Piquet that ruined that.

Barichello needs to man the fuck up and not complain when racing for position. God I wish Senna had that seat.

"This is Rubens. Rubens was already retired and races now for 2nd place. He whines when he reaches only 3rd. Harden the fuck up, Rubens!"

He's a Brazilian driver. They tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves.

I'd be frustrated too if I did everything and I knew I was faster than the guy in front of me but all that guy had to do was push his KERS button (as Piquet had one and Barrichello didn't) to speed up.

That move Barrichello pulled to get passed him was nothing short of awesome though.

For Heidfeld this is really literally his worst result ever (not counting retirements).

I hope their Barcelona package can help them bounce back
