Greg111 13 Report post Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Well they did it again, BMW second place in the Malaysian Grand Prix, Robert Kubica did a pretty good job to hold onto second, in saying that he did it with ease. Heres hoping for consistancy from the team!! Edited March 23, 2008 by Greg111 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotwire 352 Report post Posted March 23, 2008 Yep, as James Allen said - Second fastest car there on the day. Starting now to show signs of being serious competition for the other two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted March 23, 2008 Best thing about this is that there was some good racing all through the feild....and promises more for the rest of the season.What are the proposed aero changes for next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg111 13 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 Yeah with traction control gone they are now driving the cars themselves, all i heard with the aero changes are that all the aerodynamic wings on the side pods etc are all going as of next year, only the front and rear wing will stay, no doubt we will hear more on that later in the year.

Grant 4 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 This year, it seems very much status quo. There are still two teams that are head and shoulders above the rest (Ferrari and McLaren), a team that is clearly the third best, and won't be challenged for that position (BMW Sauber), and then a bunch of teams that will fight for 4th - 8th'ish (Williams, Toyota, Red Bull Racing, Honda, Renault et al), and then the three teams who are just there to make up the numbers (Torro Rosso, The Indian team, and the Super Aguri Team). I don't think that we can get too excited about BMW Sauber being ahead of Ferrari at this stage of the season, as the Australian Grand Prix, to me, is always a farce, and can in no way be viewed as a preview of to expect. I will enjoy the first amongst Ferrari and McLaren though, and think that Hamilton and Raikkonen, especially will have a great battle all season. I also think that the battle within BMW Sauber will be interesting as both Heidfeld and Kubica are very good drivers, with Kubica going on to be a great driver in the future (I think possibly a World Champion one day). Anyway, these are my thoughts, and I'll probably be proved completely wrong as the year progresses, but hey, I've put my stake in the ground.

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 again its early,but I think toyota will be closer to bmw this season ,Trulli was quick .This will make it interesting as any slip up by ferrari or maclaren may let bmw and maybe toyota through to take a place or two(as with LH pit stop) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
