So, being ironic, i guess that you think that it was also a good decision by them to shelve your beloved Button? :D

But seriously, I dont think that Rosberg is better than Piquet. Better than Wurz, he is Oh, wait, Wurz got 1 podium in 2007! :D

Nice one Bruno! Hunh best decision williams will made would be try to hire
Nelson Angelo Piquet in 2010. But they won't be able to pay him... you know world champion and that kinda stuff.

And YOUR beloved Button.

Oh, he's more than a button to him alright. Perhaps a funnily shaped chair, or 'hole' on a doll...

I never regarded Nelsinho as being great because I haven't seen him drive much, if anything I was disappointed with GP2, but maybe that could have been down to a bad and small engineering staff. This is all testing so far, we can't ever comment on people because we don't know when they had the same cars, wait until the season kicks off to judge Nelsinho. Actually, wait until the next season, the same way we had to do with Nico. And Heikki, hardly looked like he was going to finish the year the way he did, huh? The new Nico isn't crap, he dominated A1 alone, and despite it being not a strong field it did have drivers with the same experience as Nico so once he gets used to GP2 and then some more F1, we'll be able to say stuff about him.

lol, at the time replacing button with jpm was a must, frank had no choice tbh. he invested too heavily in jpm before hand, and Frank had done his job, he (eventually) showed to the world Button's talent and gave him a shot in F1. I agree with you, I dont think Nico Hjkhbbgnfgn whatever it is, is very good, but Frank is doing what he is doing because he missed the chance with Senna. You have to say since then, Frank really has wanted to get his hands on every young gun who looks to be good. Though I do not think he is currently F1 material, and he is not and imo probably wont be good enough for a williams drive.

But Nico Rosberg on the other hand, well I have to admit, over the last year or so Nico has really grown on me, and I probably would be as happy with his success as i would with Jensons. Nico IS the driver of the future imo. Hamilton is the name on peoples lips at the moment, but quietly Nico is there, waiting for the chance. Out of Kimi, Alonso, Massa, Lewis and Jenson, if i was a team boss who had a choice out of those drivers, I would not hesitate to choose Rosberg.

I cant think at all whats wrong with that sentence.

(Chet, you forgot to include Nico's name in that list)

Being a team boss with only two cars on the grid and so many talent around... It's really hard to choose :P But i'd go for Jenson and... Piquet.

Piquet isn't like his dad , but I really wish he proves me wrong. Jenson's a fine driver but there are better, he never had the outright #1 car by far in the field to give him a win, even though he had an amazing BAR a few years back. Trulli won a race but he didn't .

Yep...Kimi and Alonso in the same team would just wipe out the field. It would be very nice to see them both at Ferrari in 2010 or something like that.

todays times from Barcelona:

1. L. Hamilton McLaren MP4-23 1:22.276 78 pit
2. K. Räikkönen Ferrari F2008 1:22.319 +0.043 82 pit

4. K. Nakajima Williams FW30 1:22.724 +0.448 54 pit
5. H. Kovalainen McLaren MP4-23 1:22.852 +0.576 71 pit
6. N. Rosberg Williams FW30 1:22.974 +0.698 108 pit
7. F. Alonso Renault R28 1:23.021 +0.745 79 pit
8. N. Heidfeld BMW Sauber F1.08 1:23.075 +0.799 75 pit
9. A. Sutil Force India VJM-01 1:23.091 +0.815 62 pit

12. V. Liuzzi Force India VJM-01 1:23.239 +0.963 43 pit
13. T. Glock Toyota TF108 1:23.270 +0.994 70 pit
14. C. Klien BMW Sauber F1.08 1:23.442 +1.166 42 pit
15. N. Piquet Jr. Renault R28 1:23.609 +1.333 86 pit
16. K. Kobayashi Toyota TF108 1:23.880 +1.604 29 pit
17. R. Barrichello Honda RA108 1:24.460 +2.184 115 pit
18. A. Wurz Honda RA108 1:24.667 +2.391 109 pit
19. D. Coulthard Red Bull Racing RB4 1:24.826 +2.550 25 pit

Honda are just so bad.

Its close to the rest though good time by MS seeing as its the 1st time in the car.

Go Force India!

It's too early to conclude McLaren became faster than Ferrari but they surely closed the gap. It seems they are on the same level now.
Does anyone know why Heikki's times are too slow?

i really dont think ferrari are that far ahead of mclaren at all, well know in melborune but from what ive seen so far i think they are at best a tenth or two ahead. yes i know we dont know what they are testing, fuel loads, etc. etc. but still

Remember Ferrari still (apparently) have a major aero upgrade coming. It's getting a bit late in the day to test it fully, but without looking it up I've not heard it's been shelved.

I want to see this funky nose. So little innovation these days I just want to see something different. :D

Ferrari were never ahead in testing thats the things its only what a few people said. All autosport reports said mclaren were a tiny bit ahead.

If they were going to use the nose it would be tested this week I would not think they would wait until the start.

Good times for force india, honda are going to be right at the back at this rate.
