F1 Barcelona 2009 - Has the Prancing horse awaken from its deep slumber

KRf1 · 8th May 2009, 02:09

This race could be a turning point . Ferrari really need to get back to the title race in the Spanish GP. El Matador Alonso could be a surprise?

This just MIGHT be another wet race, as some forecasts suggest there could be a possibility of rain showers in the region on Sunday.

This is a do or die setup for the ferraris ,mc larens and all.Brawns had taken everyone for a surprise and still cannot believe were the hell did it emerge from.Good going though and good for the sport that there is a competetion in the air.Let it be the merits of the machine and the drivers and the crew put together which shows the result.

Brawns are running the practice at Qualifying pace...
Massa held third briefly before going into pits and Ferrari's publicity man explains there is a problem with the "front two flanges" on Felipe Massa's car.

So much for the "Upgraded Ferrari"

Hope atleast both Ferrari's are in the top 10 in qualifying

Also surprising that the Toyota's are way behind!!

Its so depressing to see Ferrari no where near the top 5. Wish they turn around quickly and we get to hear the Italian anthem soon.

The Force India's car that posted a time (Fisichella's) is quicker then both the McLarens, Toyotas and the BMWs

OT:

Is anyone taking part in F1 fantasy at espnstarsports.com. If yes, we can create a mini league for team-bhp members.

It appears the multiple upgrades in mclaren isn't working. I pity the BMW's after all the hard work done last year.

Waiting to see if the crowd is still after Hamilton.

jraj · 9th May 2009, 15:34

Ferrari resurgence or is it too early?

vikram_d · 9th May 2009, 15:36

Saturday Practice - Final Times

As far as Ferrari resurgence is concerned. I guess we will have to wait a couple of more hours for the qualifying to take place.

karthik247 · 9th May 2009, 16:03

Ferrari's are the only cars to be lapping in the 1:20's

. Awesome! Hope they carry the pace into the qualifying.

And they mess it up again, Kimi pasted at 16 while Massa leads after Q1........... Shucks. Not still clear whether it was a technical issue with KERS though.
