2009 Formula 1 Discussion
WELL, it seems as if our cries have finally been heard. It only took outcries from SEVERAL racers, team owners, MILLIONS of fans, and Schumi. The FIA pulled a U-turn on the First place rule. "If the teams do not now agree with the new system, it's implementation will be differed till 2010." Looks like we're back to using the points system for 2009 guys. Awesome!!!

On a side note, I believe that the heavy hitters are all sandbagging/fuelbagging. I think that they were probably all heavy on fuel. We'll see in a few days. I'll be watching practice like a hawk.
Well, it's expected that Brawn GP will but I think there is more to it than meets the eye. That rear diffuser rule I quoted above is real iffy and I believe that if Brawn and the other teams can graphically and mathematically prove via blueprint that their designs don't violate a general interpretation of the aero rules, and they probably will prove it, then the diffusers will stay.

Yeah your right. I was pondering on whether qualifying would be rush hour as well. With the new rules this year I can wonder if more people will stay out after they put down a nice hot one in the first 2 rounds of qualifying?
Just in case you guys haven't seen the news, the diffusers will stay on the cars. Brawn, Toyota, and Williams survived the initial protest. So chances are, results from the first two races of the season won't be official till the FIA bigshots see this out in court in the coming weeks.
Let the games begin. My fantasy pics have all been made and I'll be watching practice tomorrow morning at 1am est. I figure I'll call it a night at 9pm tonight and I'm going in to work an hour or so later tomorrow to counter the lost sleep. The wait is finally over.

Interesting turning of events. I may have to adjust my fantasy pics.
