Booster Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 For the first time in years I am excited about watching Formula 1. Combination of the BBC and the fact that we might get some decent racing and maybe even some over-taking:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busby Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 It certainly is nice to see the top ten looking so different. If the grid ends up anything like that it could make for a really exciting race. I have my fingers crossed for the Force India boys. After what happened to them at Monaco last year they deserve a slice of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotty Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Great start to the season. Watched it on the digital red button channel and so far and its been excellent coverage by the beeb. The highlights of previous races from the Mansell & Hill days was brilliant. Plus theres not a c-ck commentator to be heard anywhere...! Good weekend ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4ttm4son Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 The cars look odd, the rear wing looks like it is on 4:3 telly and the front on 16:9 telly Agreed, think this year's bringing the biggest aesthetic differences in a long while. With such a difference in the rear wings hope we're gonna be seeing some tail-happiness this season :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 A few more buttons on the steering wheel as well due to the dynamcally adjustable front wings and the KERS. I do think the cars look odd but I'm sure we'll get used to them. The front wing looks pretty wide and very vulnerable. Rear wing just doesn't look right but it's also good that all these little winglets have dissappeared. While watching some of the red button coverage and some of the old races, it reminded me how good some of the older cars looked especially around the Turbo era.

byron13 Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Fantastic coverage, great mix up and the only sour note was that my sky box stuffed up the recording from 60 mins!! And my backup recording at my girlfriend's house was interrupted at about the same time!!! Hmmm Sky problems me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 What a start to the season. The coverage was great and is only set to get better. As for the qualifying result, great to see Jenson at the sharp end again, it seems the car is very quick indeed, I do hope they confirm the stewards decision at the appeal. Mclaren are nowhere and Ferrari not much ahead, nice to see things switched about a bit. The racing looks ultra competative and no adverts, oh the joy. Lets hope the racing is closer than ever now the downforce is gone, roll on the race tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
