if it rains lewis will have a chnace i rekon but if not i rekon hes gonna be around 6th - 10th places .......either brawn , ferrari , toyota or williams will come good

[Bulletproof]

Brawn won't be running anywhere if those protests come in tomorrow.

I'd say that Ross Brawn is too clever for that sorta thing to happen. He'll either have a plan B, or there's something he knows.
There's no way Ross Brawn would waltz into the first race, with the aim of simply competeting in the first race with a car that's potenially illegal.

Toyota I know for sure have brought spare diffusers with them incase they are deemed illegal. Williams on the other hand may not with their declining budget.


Also, Vettel!! What the shorts

You have to love that kid sometimes.

That is actually a good point and settles my nerves a little in the run up to Melbourne. I've followed Jenson since the beginning and the thought of BGP being illegal is a little disheartening, after he's had such a crap car these past few years.

However as you say Brawn is a very clever man and I'm sure he knows what he's doing!!!

CAN'T WAIT TILL THE WEEKEND!!!!

I bet Brawn will sandbag during practice.

Unfortunately i think if it rains it will exagerate any under preformance in the McLaren to the point where Hamilton would struggle to keep it on the road:(. Luckily it won't rain

I hope it rains, out of spite. It probably will here in the next few days so Australia can have some of our s*** weather too.

Well at least he would know how we felt when we sat in the pouring rain at Silverstone last year, well at least I did.

Look a new rear wing and a new diffuser which looks a lot like one off a certain other car ... So all the cars passed inspection "The protest was lodged after stewards in Melbourne said on Thursday the cars conformed with Formula One's rules. " so Ferrari, BMW Sauber, Renault and Red Bull protest against Williams, Toyota and Brawn GP but no one has protested against McLaren as far as I can tell. "A spokesman for governing body the FIA said it hoped to have a verdict on the appeal by the end of Thursday.”

You haven't missed it first practise is tomorrow at 1:30 am GMT

[Stealthgate007]

There seems to be an awful lot of changes and protests and everything as I wake up this morning. There is a number change as well

for the casual fan, these last minute changes will be confusing

So are you saying that this is the same design as the cars who have complaints registered against them??

Yes, McLaren hedged in my oppinion. They took a gamble and fitted the ill performing mp4-24 with toyo/will/brawn style diffuser. FIA deemed it legal, so they lucked out in the end.... but its not then end of the story by a long way.. I don't think teams had time to protest McLaren yet.

[Griff]

As far as i can tell this one is legal. The top is straight without going above the restricted area.
