Lol the PSB guys pwned the thread first 3 posts all by the guys from PSB.

Hmm... I think so aswell, lmracing. I'm sure they'll wake up from their sleep in the Turkish GP

4th win for Massa here? I hope so!

 

[Omer Said]

I hope a resurrection will come from BMW. If not .. Then.. *cries*..

.4th win for Massa here? I hope so!

I think this will be really hard to win this year for Massa. But i hope so too. He deserves a record here

 

[Daniel Plaikner]

Massa is a rocket in Istanbul , hard times are comming up for Brawn GP :rotfl:

 

[Koray Can]

BMW will have double diffusers in Istanbul: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/75674

This race will totally suit Massa - he loves an understeering car and that's practically the only way to drive turn 8. Ferrari are back on form, so it's just going to be a question of how much Brawn can get out of their car again - the track should also suit Button's driving style.

 

[Trebor901]

ah, Vettel on pole which is the outside of the track, which means Button will be leading out of turn 1

 

[Steven Palmer]

So what happened to the Ferrari's?

Button for the win, again

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

I think they are fuelled for 2-3 more laps than the top guys. But I don't think this will give them a huge advantage.

 

[Steven Palmer]

How many of you guys saw the BBC coverage, particularly the interview with Nelson Piquet. Is that a guy under pressure or what. He seemed totally dejected, a broken man almost. I almost felt sorry for him, especially in the comments after with Eddie Jordan and David Coulthard when they said he had a "very pushy mother" :rotfl: Poor Guy.

 

[Trebor901]

i think he needs to go back to GP2 for a season or two cos he's not very good in an F1 car at all.

 

[Ross Balfour]

Totally agree Steven, loadsa pressure on him. Especially with Aolonso as your teammate!

I honestly thouight Webber had pole there but ended up 4th which is annoying Good that Button isnt pole though, I was getting bored of his "GETTTTT INNN THERE!!" after every qually.

Nice, Webber heavier then guys ahead of him

 

[Koray Can]

BMW in Q3 finally with their double diffuser.

Sorry for Piquet. On Speed he said that he had some kind of brake problem. Frankly that car is not good, either. Alonso is often very light on fuel.

 

[Glenn Morris]

Geez! Bourdais must have his mother-in-law on board. Look how heavy his car is!! :rotfl:
