I want to know who got to tell Mr Honda that qualifying results this morning?!?

I don't think anyone would want to be in the room when Mr Honda finds out. The results could be...Troubling

What are they going to do? Release the dogs? Release the bees? Or release the dogs with bees in their mouths so when they bark they spit bees at you?

All three!

The announcers in the Melbourne gran prix were mentioning that certain teams "still had to do their extra soft stint" because they had not used them like McLaren or Ferrari at the start of the race.
Is this a new rule that both tires must be used or something because of some previous action (ie. qualifying)? I don't get it or did I misunderstand the announcers?

cheers....

Every driver has to use the hard compound and the soft compound in a race, they can't go the whole distance using only one or the other. They brought this in for 2007 onwards.

Haha!

I'd love to go and laugh in the Honda directors' faces, it's still very confusing as to why they pulled the plug when they must have known about all the work that was going into this car... of course, hindsight is always 20/20 but anyway.

Alonso must also be pretty cheesed??

these questions arnt as bad as some of the ones people where texting into to the bbc during practice

Agreed.

Yep.

What I couldn't work out was that with 39 laps to go, Brawn I think filled up Jens I think with 40 laps worth of fuel.

WHY??

He still had to come in later on to put the soft tyres on??

Makes no sense.

Id be well annoyed if i was them but maybe with the current economic climate, particularly affecting the car trade, they just decided they had to pull out anyway. Just hurts more cos the cars so good.

What could they have done? Well obviously stay in F1, but I suppose they had to pull out

They filled up both cars so that they'd only have to do a minimal stint on the short tyres. Some of Ross Brawn's tactical genius at work - Rubens only had to do seven laps on the softs, compared with the longer stints of the others. Probably the reason he was able to hold on to fourth place and thus benefit from the Kubica/Vettel clash.

I would have just wapped in 35 laps.
Also there was a safety car so they saved fuel then.

He should get tips from Nick Heidfeld about facial hair.
