Quake3World

So I watched the Australian Grand Prix yesterday, and there was a new team called Red Bull. What I was wondering is did they create their own cars from scratch, or did they just buy McLaren-Mercedes or something, because they got Coulthard and all and I didn't see the McLaren cars

i dunno, but germy crashed :icon19:

o there is a lord

Yeah, wasn't really his fault tho. He got some contact with the other guy so the guy was forced on the grass, and since you can't brake on the grass, he hit shumy

aye, i giggled because i saw mr red carve him up and the whole thing kinda back fired

He fucking owns though, he got from like 18th to 10th.

aye, i would argue a bit on that but im to mellowed to do so

i just dont like the arrogant git

He owns at driving though.

Red Bull bought Jaguar

Thanks mate

I need to read up on all these rule changes. Schumy voluntarily retired so they could install a fresh engine for the next race? WTF?

Ahhh,

Engines
In 2004 engines had to last one race weekend. From 2005 they must last two – equivalent to a distance of around 1,500 kilometres (close to 1000 miles). If a driver requires an engine change ahead of qualifying, he will drop ten places on the grid for that race. If an engine is changed between the start of qualifying and the race the driver will be put to the back of the grid.

In both instances the driver concerned must use his new engine for the remainder of that meeting and the entire following grand prix weekend. If a driver fails to finish a race, he may start the next meeting with a new engine without penalty.

With even greater reliability required from the engines, these changes are likely to cut rev limits and power outputs, hence reducing car performance.

Why do you think he's arrogant?

He comes off as kinda nice in all the interviews imo.
Kimi Räikönnen however, now that's a different story...

maybe it's a nationality thing, he's the bloody hun, the red baron, like the villain in a cartoon - but you're right, he does seem like a nice bloke in interviews.

think button dropped out so he could switch engines as well.

Yeah he did, if you don't complete a race you're not obliged to use the same engine in the next race, engines usually have to last 2 race weekends.

BTW, the qualifying needs to go back to the hour-long, 12 laps (including in/out laps).
Coulthard thinks similar, I agree, the current qualifying thing is bullshit. I stopped watching F1 the season Schumacher started winning the titles again because it became predictable, but qualifying made me stay away. I used to really enjoy the last 10 minutes when everyone was out with the pole time dropping contantly.

yeah, the old qualifying was so much more hectic and interesting to watch... now its too sterile like IRL.
oh, and wtf is up with the viking horns on the new mclaren chassis?

I think the Aussie GP was fun to watch tho

funny how it started to rain again right when Schumy was getting ready to qualify on saturday

OMG HI HI TO YOU, you sexy bitch
