Like i said when Heidfeild was decided on, HE IS TERRIBLE AT QUALIFYING!!!!!

He's definitely not the right person to be in the seat at Renault.

O really,  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It's been confirmed Red Bull have a KERS different to everyone else, and it only works at the start line.

or not at all  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Cracking race. Great drive from Jenson, awesome flying skills from Petrov and overtake of the day by Webber on the outside of Turn 1.

Was a good race, i still think Heidfield isnt getting the best out of the Renault thou!!!

The start was great!

Disapointing for Hamilton mind  :sad: but good on Jenson Button finally showing he can be a front runner again!

I think that Lewis is far from a "cry baby"..He bust a gut to get that car on the front row, fought like hell to hold onto his spot and as he said in his interview later on, they boxed too earlier, the team pretty much got it wrong for Lewis and it worked out well for Jenson. I Know you cant help when you have a sticky wheelnut etc but generally the tyres were going off far too quick for what the team had planned.


Poor show from Mclaren and lucky to have Jenson sitting as 2nd..They could easily have had 1-2 if they had planned well...

Great race, my heart was racing most of it. Lots going on in the pitlane. I think the Pirelli tyres has brought in lots of excitement, however I do have one concern. There seems to be a lot of discarded rubber off the racing line and I'm pretty sure a lot of drivers are holding back in a lot of places to avoid going on the marbles. From the TV it doesn't look as bad, and until you've actually raced and got on the dirty line you really don't know how much grip you lose. Back in November when I raced in Brazil a few times I was forced on the dirty side and it's like driving in the wet with slicks, lots of understeering and oversteering. The worse thing though is that for the next half a lap you have limited grip as the tyres still haven't cleaned up. I'm very sure that if the dirty part of the track wasn't as bad as it is with the Pirelli we would see a lot more overtakes in a lot of corners.

Hamilton fault as he moved his car twice to defend. Rules say you can defend/block only once buy good news Alonso retains his 6th position
