2008 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix
Re: 2008 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix
Unless there will be rain, expect it to be a lonely race for two red cars up front (if the can keep them running that is)
Although going impressively strong in qualifying, I don't think Trulli can follow the cars in front of him. However I can well imagine him blocking everything behind him, at least up to his first pit. By then expect the Italian cars to have pulled miles away, being some 2-3 seconds a lap faster regarding a Toyota having to fend off the BMW's...
Just hope I am wrong…

DISGUSTING, not going to watch live, will watch the replay or something, this is absolutely fantastic, raikkonen gets nothing for the saem or worse, and Macca gets penalized very very hard!! Doesn't make any sense :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

Re: 2008 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix
I think Macca got off very lightly, MS was demoted to the back of the grid for impeding other drivers on their last flyer in Q3.joostlamers wrote:DISGUSTING, not going to watch live, will watch the replay or something, this is absolutely fantastic, raikkonen gets nothing for the saem or worse, and Macca gets penalized very very hard!!

And at least MS had parked off the racing line.

If the 2 Ferrari's would have done the same stupid thing the 2 Mc's did, it would have no problem at all saying that they acted stupidly.HamiltonF1 wrote:I bet you wouldn't say it if it would be the 2 ferrari's.The Immortal Dragon wrote:who was saying that Ferrari were already in doldrums?
The Australian GP has been only a bad weekend for Ferrari, but now they are back at the top of the table.
Good decision by FIA Stewarts to penalise Hamilton and Kovalainen 'cause what they did was both dangerous and incorrect.
Anyway what Mclaren did was a bit stupid but ah well maybe we will see a good race now.
I don't enjoy only if Ferrari win, I enjoy F1 and this is shown by the fact that I enjoyed last sunday even if Raikkonen and Massa were doing a mess together with the Ferrari's engines and I enjoyed incredibly Nurbungring last year, when Raikkonen retired and Alonso won in front of Massa.
So, if the 2 Ferrari's would be in Mc's place right now, it would say they have been stupid in the same way I say Heikki and Lewis were.

Re: 2008 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix
How can you not make sense of the whole situation? It was clear for everyone to see that the Macca's were the only cars out of the ones crawling to the pits that were on the racing line. Did you even look at the photos or videos? And yes, I would say the same if a Ferrari or Super Aguri or whoever were involved, if that's your question.joostlamers wrote:DISGUSTING, not going to watch live, will watch the replay or something, this is absolutely fantastic, raikkonen gets nothing for the saem or worse, and Macca gets penalized very very hard!!

And btw, Heikki should have gotten a 10 place penalty for blocking Alonso also. So I should just ignore that because he's one of my fave drivers?
And yet again you bring the Australia Q1 argument. You're really desperate, aren't you? Kubica still had about 10 min to do a lap in that session, while Heidfeld and Alonso were on their last flying laps! If you can't see the difference, then I'm sory to say, but you really are just a blind fanboy.
Re: 2008 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix
i agree with you on the whole, however, whether kubica was blocked on their last lap or their first, it should still be treated in the same method!Lilellatho wrote:How can you not make sense of the whole situation?

i think they should just stop using race fuel and let them do low fuel runs so we really see whos fastest and no strategy comes into it!
Re: 2008 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix
yeah, agreed. Q1/2 OR 3, hindering a flying lap should be penalised or not penalised. They should bring in some sort of new rule to eradicate a recurranceChubbs wrote:i agree with you on the whole, however, whether kubica was blocked on their last lap or their first, it should still be treated in the same method!Lilellatho wrote:How can you not make sense of the whole situation?

Re: 2008 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix
Totally agree with that and I've said it before. The new quali system is just plain stupid. Just let the top 10 nominate the amount of fuel they want for the races before Q3 begins and then let them do all the laps they want (and can fit in those 10 min) on low fuel. Then we would have the show of real quali and also some uncertainty for the race.Chubbs wrote: i think they should just stop using race fuel and let them do low fuel runs so we really see whos fastest and no strategy comes into it!
I wonder if those suits from the FIA think these thing through or they just pull them out of theis a** :tired:

i'll add something regarding Australian gp, Kubica didn't appeal so no the point in talking about it.Lilellatho wrote:How can you not make sense of the whole situation?

Re: 2008 Formula 1 Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix
I think the penalty is fair. The punishments for blocking in Quali have been strange since the start, one driver being penalised for something another did and didn't get penalised for and people being penalised for a block that really wasn't a block. But its the way F1 is. A situation can look different to everyone, a fan will hardly be happy with a penalty and will see the situation in a different light as someone from a rival team and a neutral will have yet another view on it altogther.
The McLarens were on the racing line and as far as I could see there weren't any other car on the racing line. But there should be a rule about how fast the cars should be, and the drivers should use their common sense about were they are after their lap. If it happened to Hamilton or Kovy you can bet that Macca would be complaining and looking for penalities. The BMW's are fast, a block is a block and Nick feels like he was blocked.
