With regards to '09, sure the car started out a bit of a dog (although fast enough to get himself a podium till he lied to the stewards, but again, i digress ) but by the end of the season, the car had improved by 2 seconds a lap. Indeed, the world (or this forum at least) would be a very boring place! |

No points for pole positions, however. Maybe something wrong with the regulations? Or just not that important any more? Certainly the pole position that Hamilton recently got, didn't actually amount to very much in the race.

A little bit like 2002 when quite often a Williams would annex pole only to get blown away over 65 odd laps on a Sunday.

Indeed. And back then you could do pretty much what you wanted to do to the car in between qualifying and the race! Pretty much build one car for qually and one for the race. It's much more of a compromise now.
