F1 is getting crazy!


I am Sergio and for those that are not very familiar with the f1, I will explain you the differences with the season before (2008),and new technologies have been incorporated this year
The results of the 3 first races of this year.
AUSTRIA

1. Jenson Button
2. Rubens Barrichello
3. Jarno Trulli

MALAYSIA
1. Jenson Button
2.Nick Heidfeld
3.Timo Glock

CHINA

1.Sebastian Vettel
2.Mark Webber
3. Jenson Button
This is the general position of this year. After you can compare with the classification of the last year with only 3 races.

NOW

1. JENSON BUTTON (BRAWN MERCEDES) 21 ptos.
2. RUBENS BARRICHELLO (BRAWN MERCEDES) 15 ptos.
3. SEBASTIAN VETTEL (RBR-RENAULT) 10 ptos.
8. FERNANDO ALONSO (RENAULT) 4 ptos.
10. LEWIS HAMILTON (MCLAREN MERCEDES) 4 ptos.
16. KIMI RÄIKKÖNEN (FERRARI) 0 ptos.
IN 2008

1. HAMILTON 24 PTS.
2. RÄIKKÖNEN 17 PTS.
3. HEIDFELD 15 PTS.
4. KUBICA 11 PTS.
5. ALONSO 11 PTS.
6. KOVALAINEN 10 PTS.

You can see that Räikkönen have 0 points, is very strange a driver of Ferrary permite this.He had been the winner of the championship of 2007. And L. Hamilton from one year to other have been from 1 position to the 10 position.Is incredible that the winner of the last championship goes so bad this year.

NEW DEVICES AND TECHNOLOGIES IN F1

The KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovering System) : Basically it is a flywheel that the energy during braking is lost as heat is get as energy that gives you an acceleration to increase the performance of the car. This is posible because the steering wheel speed up until the acceleration.

DIFFUSER: Key piece to get more grip in the curves. It is in the rear of the car. The problem is that Mercedes-Brawn and red bull have a diffuser shaped like a channel that gives them more aerodynamic support, it makes them almost 0´5 second faster on each lap. The controversy comes when Ferrary, Mclaren and Renault believe that this is not legal diffuser.this April 14 the FIA ruled that is legal.the race have started, but to see who is the first to have the diffuser of Brawn in the next race.
