  After the qualifying, and after so many rounds, and almost everyone are running the double deck diffuser (latest being Red Bull), am still surprise by the sudden turned of performance from Ferrari! Yes, Ferrari! (Go Kimi go!?)

  But looking at the released pre-race weight, looks like Brawn still the team to beat.

  Sad to say, I think I will say the season is over for BMW. Personally, I don’t see the wisdom or strategy in running a long stint, even in Monaco. It is as if betting a big crash in front.

  Hamilton will have a tough race, especially if he gets stuck behind the heavy BMWs come later today.

  The season opener proved to be a dramatic event! It was just incredible!

  Brawn, at the very least Jensen Button, really flew away. I bet the Brawn are like at least 1 full seconds ahead of all other team.

  BMW Kubica showed that given the right strategy, it’s still possible to manage a good result, sans the collision of course!

  Ferrari definitely too sickly at the moment to be racing. Lewis continued with his lucky streak.

  Next weekend should be fun, I hope (as traditionally, the Malaysian GP had always been one of the lesser dramatic weekend).

  It’s interesting now that FIA decides to publish the car weight that would start tomorrow GP. No more guessing on who is running light, or heavy. Whilst it’s definitely informative, perhaps it removes some of the mystery shrouded the sport that gave it some mystery.

  Anyway, looking at it, Brawn seems to really going to nail it. Ferrari going to look interesting. Kubica of BMW too looks threatening. Heidfeld seems to be going for a super long first stint.

  Tomorrow going to be a fun day watching who gets the third place IMO.

  The signs were there all along, and the first qualifying of the season confirmed it!

  Along with Brawn GP, there were the Williams and Red Bull. Very surprising.

  Toyota finally getting its day.

  Ferrari looked sick. McLaren did worse.

  BMW, think it’s once again not being really anywhere.

  Tomorrow, it’s going to be very interesting. Or maybe not, Brawn may just fly to its first 1-2.

  Wooh! For the past weeks, there have been multiple F1 team car launches based on the new regulations for year 2009. I must say I was particularly waiting forward to that of BMW. Simply because I am a fan. *wink*

  

  On the left, it’s the brand new car for 2009, on the right that of 2008! Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! There have been a lot of changes for this year F1. And I am a little bit of a skeptic at the moment. To my untrained eyes, the above looks like a down grade to a lower Formula! Anyway, I hope for the first race Down Under to start and we will be able to see who is going to lead.

  I do hope BMW maintains at least their solid 3rd placing. Last year, nearing the end of the season, BMW didn’t look all that impressive. Instead, Renault was all over the place – heck, it was actually Fernando Alonso’s playground!

  Anyway, if you’re interested in the technicalities of these new designs, you may want to drop by F1 Technical Development. There’s quite a bit of info there!

  You may find other teams launches as follow:-

  • Ferrari (Gallery, Gallery)
  • Toyota (Gallery, Gallery)
  • McLaren (Gallery, Gallery)
  • Williams (Gallery, Gallery)
  • Renault (Gallery, Gallery)
  • BMW (Gallery, Gallery)

  Looking forward to the start of the season!

  PS: Since Honda ain’t gonna make it, do you miss them?

  How can I call myself a loyal fan when it was a one-two win and I slept through it? Dang!

  Oh the hat trick by Master Massa! He done it! Very much done it!

  But what was surprising was the three stopper by Hamilton and he still did not get the pole. No wonder he was that unhappy about it. And boy was I right about Heiki not making it onto the podium (pun intended!).

  Just somehow, I think Heiki is not there yet. For me, I kind of have the feeling that Hamilton leeched a lot of experiences from Alonso a year ago. I sensed that McLaren is unable to really setup the car well (at least for the past 3 races) due to the lack of experience of their two drivers.

  Kimi drove nicely I believe clutching Hamilton to the final corner. The two BMWs, well, were just as disappointing as ever. Fast but never fast enough.

  Anyway, May 22 for Monaco! Oh the prestige! Right now, help yourself to the result and the standing!
