Wow, exciting end to it.
ha ha! I did think 'that looks like a rubbish trophy'... Almost as rubbish as bransons 'just for men' ginger beard and peroxide-fest!
Brilliant race... but whose the pillock they've got commentating with martin brundle???

Dunno, but at least he is better than James Allen (for now)

I think there may be a bean counter at honda japan getting the elbow tomorrow,first race without the Honda name/engine and they wipe the floor with everyone,the hundreds of millions Honda have spent over the years finally paid off at the first race after they pulled out. ::)
thank goodness that boredom is over for another couple of weeks.

Gotta admit i love f1, but you can't beat a good touring cars race!
Watched it and thought it was a great race, the cars look bloody awfull now, but the best man won, Button is such a smooth driver and has shown that given the car he is among the best there is. :y
She used to get free tickets to all the Rover cup races in the 90s. Great to watch, as mostly 'less experienced' racers trying to make a name for themselves - plenty of thrills and spills :yQuoteQuoteBTCC is on next weekend itv4 live from brands hatch with the support races

One of the most entertaining races I saw at Brabds Hatch, many moons ago, was 2cv racing, the cars are all much the same so purly down the the driver....... ;D
Sorry, I have button down as a loser, in the Henman style. Also a spoilt brat. I hope to be proven wrong, but I think he simply had the best car by a mile...QuoteWatched it and thought it was a great race, the cars look bloody awfull now, but the best man won, Button is such a smooth driver and has shown that given the car he is among the best there is. :y
agreed, i've always rated button highly n now hes hopefully gonna get a chance to prove it!
Hamilton 3rd today, could be first in Oz by Mid April.
What a bunch of useless officials. The result should not be subject to appeals but confirmed on the podium even if it means delaying prize giving by up to ten minutes. Clowns.

Fantastic race for Brawn GP and Jenson Button. :y :y I've always maintained that given a decent car, Button will always get results.
Hamilton also showed just how good a driver he really is to bring a pig handling McLaren home in 4th (3rd) place from the back of the grid.
Great day for the Brits and long may it continue into the season. :y :y
**edit** Have to agree about the cars - ugly as sin with the high narrow rear wing and the enormously wide front wing and those goddam awful wheel covers. :'(

Give it a few weeks and we will have forgot how ugly they are, remember when Benetton raised the nose cone and everyone followed and how we were saying how ugly that idea was!!

Agreed, but these are going to take some getting used to - trouble is they look completely out of proportion. :-/
back when I used to watch it, every new idea made cars look odd - raised nose, narrower, gradual narrowing of wing, side wings, barge boards etc - but we soon got used to it.QuoteQuoteQuoteFantastic race for Brawn GP and Jenson Button. :y :y I've always maintained that given a decent car, Button will always get results.

I agree with that too Bob, they do look like they have a surfboard nailed to the front :-/
......coz thats all they could get,there wasnt anything wrong with the Honda engine,it was the rest of the car that was shite,but Ross Brawn has been working on this years car for 16 months which is why last years car was woefully underdeveloped and dog slow. ;)QuoteI think there may be a bean counter at honda japan getting the elbow tomorrow,first race without the Honda name/engine and they wipe the floor with everyone,the hundreds of millions Honda have spent over the years finally paid off at the first race after they pulled out. ::)
You need to remember that Brawn now has a Merc engine ;)
