2009 Chinese Grand Prix – Can anyone stop Brawn?

[AdamW]

the only way anyone's catching vettel is if they convince the chinese police to deploy stingers at the hairpin =)

Webber sets the fastest Lap
And beats himself next lap!
Vettel meets the challenge on Lap 35, beating Webber's time

 

[AdamW]

be interesting to see if they get onto the hybrid tyres before the end.

 

[senamic]

They just keep trading fastest laps...
Webber sector 1=29.2 seconds!
Vettel Pits 9.2 second stop

 

[CAMikaze]

Webber pits.
Vettel resets Fastest Lap.

 

[senamic]

Webber pits from the lead
Edit: Beat me! 7.5 second stop

Vettel's got this one in the bag. Barrichello has picked up the pace, pushing Webber for 3rd but he probably has to stop again.

edit - actually looks like Rubens doesnt need to stop again.

edit - no wait he pits! lol

 

[Tired Tyres]

Rosberg is on intermediates and Button pits as well. He's staying on wet tyres.

 

[senamic]

Barrichello will have to stop again, or his tyres will fall off pace!

 

[AdamW]

man, raikkonen really is a pretty poor wet weather driver.

bit funny - seems like so much has happened in this race but we're probably going to finish with the same first four cars we started with.

edit: senamic: I don't think full wets on a sufficiently wet track really fall off like slicks on a dry track do.

 

[senamic]

Barricheello Pits

 

[senamic]

Just fuel. 6.5 second stop

Edit: sorry for double post

 

[CAMikaze]

Yes he does. Fuel only this time around.

Edit: Treed

1-2 finish for Red Bull?

 

[[FPV]Rusty]

I don't know why I ever listen to what the commentators have to say, they are always wrong!

 

[Tired Tyres]

I hope Buemi and Sutil can finish in the points.

 

[senamic]

Don't say that!!! I'm a Webber fan, don't recreate the curse!!!

 

[[FPV]Rusty]

Don't say that!!! I'm a Webber fan, don't recreate the curse!!!

dont mention curse!

 

[Alex.]

if it finishes like this Ferrari will be the ONLY team with no points on the board. Awesome work from Sutil.

 

[senamic]

dont mention !

Never happened!!!

 

[AdamW]

i think it only counts as a curse if you say "it's going to happen", not you "hope it's going to happen", right?

 

[senamic]

if it finishes like this Ferrari will be the ONLY team with no points on the board. Awesome work from Sutil.

Hey has a mighty convoy, Truckin through the- sorry, looking at Sutil in front of that pack. Hope he holds on!

 

[AdamW]

hamilton's discovered an innovative wide exit line there, through the grassy part of the road...

edit: that was spoken in the style of a hamilton fanboy, btw =)

 

[senamic]

His team mate finds the conventional line is faster!

 

[[FPV]Rusty]

Hamilton has gone of at least 4 times in the race. Imagine were he would be if he just took it slightly easier.

edit - he spun again!

edit - OH MY scary looknig front on crash by sutil.

 

[senamic]

Hamilton has gone of at least 4 times in the race. Imagine were he would be if he just took it slightly easier.

Overdriving much?

 

[AdamW]

whoops, hamilton's experimenting with the last corner exit again there - in a bold new move, he's decided to see if it works better backwards.

 

[senamic]

Sutil again proves that it is better to follow the tried and tested line. And direction!

 

[AdamW]

oh dear, sutil's decided he wants to get into the warm and dry and parked it halfway through the turn sign.

for anyone without a tv feed: not his fault at all, aquaplaned straight off halfway through a corner. poor guy gets no luck at all.

 

[senamic]

NOOOO. Sutil goes off! At least he looks okay

Edit: Beaten again!

 

[Tired Tyres]

Sutil's crashed. Downer.
