lofi Share Posted March 18, 2007 smooth race today. the bmw's are looking good despite kubica bowing out. Hrm... the mclarens didn't break. This may be the year they contend for top spot. sato is still racing? i'd thought he'd get thrown out along with his buddy from a year ago ... :rolleyes: Link to post Share on other sites
.mcman Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Australian Grand Prix Results Well, I think the race was quite boring... Kimi did a very good job. His Ferrari was the fastest today. And Lewis was great too. Third place in his first F1 race is fantastic!!! I'm a bit dissapointed about Kubica not finishing but hey, it's only start of the season... ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn Share Posted March 18, 2007 Good race, this season is going to be a classic. It is a shame Davidson was a bit unlucky today, he could of scored a point or two. Link to post Share on other sites
Shibby Share Posted March 18, 2007 Was a nice safe race to start the season. And i must say BMW did very well. If they keep on the back of the Mclaren and Ferrari heels then they will score some nice points. Link to post Share on other sites
Jerichohol Share Posted March 18, 2007 Good race, this season is going to be a classic.It is a shame Davidson was a bit unlucky today, he could of scored a point or two. I agree, good race, Lewis Hamilton, WOW , great performance, a podium on his first race. I'm impressed. Should be a good season, unpredictable I hope. Ferrari and Raikonnen should win.

Scirwode Share Posted March 18, 2007 The crash involving David Coulthard was something where he flew over someone's nose cone, quite near to his head! All in all, a good race and congratulations for Kimi Raikonnen for a solid drive! Scirwode Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Crazysah BTW - Can someone pin this? EDIT: In the poll... can someone change Raikonnen's name to his full name? Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzieb Share Posted March 19, 2007 cool, first vote. I can't believe how well Lewis Hamilton did on sunday. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazysah Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yeah. He did mighty well on Sunday I must say. Kimi Raikonnen drove a perfect race too except for the fact that he had no radio throughout the race. That was quite funny. Sad for Kubica to go out that easily. Link to post Share on other sites
Fourjays Veteran Share Posted March 19, 2007 I don't think Kimi will win it unless Ferrari keep a massive lead over McLaren car-wise. His attitude never seemed to be right in 2005, and I think it ultimately cost him the champ. I'd really like to see Hamilton win. Yeh, he's a rookie, but he did win GP2 first time round. No reason why he can't do the same in F1 if he has the car under him. Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn Share Posted March 19, 2007 Didnt you see we already have one Crazyah? With loads of posts in already, use this: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=545904 It would be nice if a mod merged these threads and pinned the one I just posted. Link to post Share on other sites

Later i will have to find the stats of Kimi at Mclaren later. Link to post Share on other sites

Skiver Veteran Share Posted March 20, 2007 awesome race, im quite new to F1 but that was a pretty good race:) i think kimi is gonna have this season but i wouldnt say for sure... i think even hamilton could give him a run for his money... it was interesting to see that hamilton was only 4 tenths of a second slower then alonso in the qualifiers but was carrying more fuel... id like to see him beat alonso next race :p im still a button fan unfortunatly... i hope honda manage to sort out the aero dynamics problems so we can see a better race from him... dont think he can win much this year but id like to see him come close and i think mclaren are definalty gonna win the constructers this year, two awesome drivers who i bet will see many podium finishes this year Link to post Share on other sites
Shibby Share Posted March 20, 2007 I feel sorry for button. I think honda had nothing but problems and he is not really gaining much out of being with them. But then where would he go? Link to post Share on other sites
Kerm Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hamilton was the man! Astonishing performance for his first F1 race. He might just get me watching F1 again. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazysah Share Posted March 21, 2007 I saw that crash too. Luckily they are both fine. Link to post Share on other sites
BroChaos Veteran Share Posted March 21, 2007 i'm new to f1. always appreciated it, but never watched it. managed to watch all of this race, and i enjoyed it. hope to catch more this year. Link to post Share on other sites
Shibby Share Posted March 21, 2007 As far as i'm aware the only way for the lower teams to be competive, is for them to drive well and sort out aero stuff. I'm sure this season there is an engine freeze, so they teams have to work even harder to get speed. Link to post Share on other sites
