I must say I do like Team Brawn's cars its very refreshing to see a car that has not had its paint job and logos fired out of a cannon all over the car.

Well Done Button for a fine drive and lets see some more please. Lucky Rubens getting 2nd place thanks to that incident in front of him, lucky old Hamilton getting third place after the FIA inquiry.

Maybe this recession is a wake up call to the FIA, we the fans don't give a toss about the glamour & glitz we want top notch racing instead.

Just heard on the sports news on the radio Hamilton could be kicked out of this season race and no points will be awarded in 2010! I hope this is not the case or there will be a backlash against the FIA on this one.

I not going to takes side here until I read the full story.

Hamilton apologises for Melbourne 'mistake'

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton has publically apologised for the events that culminated in his disqualification from last weekend’s Australian Grand Prix. Speaking to the media in Malaysia on Friday, Hamilton said sorry to the Melbourne stewards and his fans for what he described as a ‘huge mistake’.

He finished the season-opener in fourth, but was handed third at a post-race hearing, after Toyota’s Jarno Trulli was penalized for passing his McLaren under the safety car. A second inquiry in Sepang, however, heard fresh evidence that showed that McLaren sporting director Dave Ryan and Hamilton had ‘deliberately misled’ the stewards by denying the British driver had been told to move aside to allow Trulli to pass.

"In Melbourne, I had a great race,” said the reigning world champion. “As soon as I got out of the car I had the television interviews at the back of the garage, and straight away I gave them a good account of what happened during the race. Straight after that we were requested by the stewards, and while waiting I was instructed and misled by my team manager to withhold information, and that is what I did.

"I sincerely apologise to the stewards for wasting their time. I’d like to say sorry to all my fans who have believed in me, and have supported me for years. I am not a liar or a dishonest person. I am a team player. Every time I have been informed to do something I have done it. This time I realise it was a huge mistake. I am learning from it. It has taken a huge toll on me.”

While Hamilton was excluded from the race results, Ryan has been suspended by McLaren and sent home to the United Kingdom. It is understood a decision on his future won’t be made until after this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix.

Good race which tested the drivers' skills to the limit. Great 1st and 2nd for Red Bull. Vettel certainly lived up to the sponsor's tag line!

Sebastien Vettel

Little Britain and Monty Python fan Vettel also revealed at the weekend that he gives his cars female names and personalities, reasoning that 'it's important to have a close relationship with a car' – before quipping to BBC F1 commentator and former RBR ace David Coulthard: “Anyway, you are the man when it comes to women...”

“Like a ship, a car should be named after a girl as it's sexy,” he contended. “My original car was called Kate, but then it got smashed in the opening race in Australia. We called this one Kate's Dirty Sister, because it is more aggressive and faster.”

If the European GP´s start going the same way Ferrari will start making their comeback for the next season. At the moment I also think Alonso is not anymore so anxious to be a Ferrari driver...??

Anyway, quite interesting to see new faces on the podium and we´ll see how things will continue. Will the new Ferrari make the difference or not? I also read Brawn has been forced to kick out a remarkable number of personnel (?) so will that have an effect on the car´s endurance etc.

Also what will the "lie episode" do to Hamilton and his relationship with Mclaren.

Interesting season and the next one surely...
