Kimi Raikkonen pips Lewis Hamilton

bit unoriginal arnt we... looks like it might be a close one. Ferrari will run light in final quali so as not to repeat the last race embarrassment.

that was a bit of an odd one... that leaves so many questions unanswered

What was with Alnoso?

Why was Kimi so slow in the last stint?

How was Hamilton faster on the harder tyres?

Why couldnt Alonso overtake Heidfeld?

Why was Kubica so much slower that Heidfeld?

and soooo many more...

Anyway, pretty uneventful like Sepang, im blaming the track. Im not a fan, no personality and who builts a track int he desert? Once again its a three week wait till the next round. Why they chose to do it this way we'll never know

[Frink]

i thought it wasn't too boring. Coulthard did well, both redbull's showing some speed and Heidfeld passing Alonso round the outside. that was a good move. hopefully things might spice up a bit when they return to Europe....

[ctjet]

I think with Ferrari and Mclaren planning big upgrades for Spain, i might get a little less interesting to be honest

But finally we're back in Europe and away from the Tilke tracks for a while

[Angus Smart]

i tired to get the itv shit working but no luck!

shit vista that i've just installed blocks everything! its a fun sheriff!

i started to watch on tv tho and just get annoyed at the ads.

[Beer Baron]

hahaha, why on earth would you install vista? lol

anyway, I thought it was a good race. shame that DC and webber both had car failure and damn was webber talking straight for once. he sounded massively pissed.

[Roy]

Really enjoyed last nights race. It wa actuallky a good race through the whole field.

Webber didnt sound happy...but was not happy to hear him be so short. Coulthard was very upbeat " We’re going through some growing pains at the moment, but we will get through it and we’ll be stronger on the other side, everyone’s working very hard back in the factory.”

Webber just sounded negative

[Beer Baron]

i think webber is sick of having to be all polite and happy all the time after he keeps getting let down by his various teams

[Roy]

Glass houses though....it is becomg pretty clear to me that Webber cant pass to save his life. Good qualifier, races hard to defend his position, but seems to hesitant when following slower cars. Good thing he qualifies well as i dont htink he could race well from the back of the grid.

its actually 4 weeks..

[m3gtr]

Lewis Hamilton is a freak of nature...has anyone noticed that? Hes polite, well spoken, diplomatic and hes got the skills to put world champions in the shade in only his 3rd race. He drives as though f1

im going to go out on a limb and bet he will win the next race. He shouldve won Barain if it werent for a tyre choice screw up by McLaren.

The boys a natural born champion.

Pitpass.com has a really good story about him and his dad

Like father like son

And i dont think he would have beaten Massa regarless of what tyre stratagy Mclaren came up with. Ferraris last test before the season opener showed how awesomely quick they were here on long runs, so i think he exceeded his damage limitation rather than lost the win

[dezz]

Who was it that said Kimi would run light in the first stint? hehe

And Hamilton was quicker, but again Massa went longer, which shows that he was quicker in qualifying with more fuel....

Good race, I watched it at 6am after work after being up for 32hours, and I wasn't disappointed

The 4 week wait sucks harder than Honda too....

[Beer Baron]

yeah, how bad to honda and renault look...

[dezz]

Honda doesn't just LOOK bad ....can't say much more for Renault at the moment either...

[Necx0]

Anyone else find the battle between Barichello and Schumacher for next to last place rather amusing......there is $600 million well spent :lol:

Renault really does have rubbish drivers, maybe excuses can be made for Heikki as he hasn't raced for a long time but Giancarlo is just rubbish really.

Webber has every right to be pissed, he drags the car up the grid only to be let down in the race......although you have to ask questions about his race pace.....good to see Coulthard back on form.

What was with Alonso?

I think he just dropped the ball on car setup, happens to the best

Why was Kimi so slow in the last stint?

Don't think the Ferrari liked the hard tyres, Massa wasn't real quick either.

How was Hamilton faster on the harder tyres?

Well as Martin said.....the track rubbers up a lot but even so you would expect fastest lap to be set on soft rubber?!!?!?!

Why couldnt Alonso overtake Heidfeld?

See question 1. Heidfelds move on Alonso was simply awesome!!

Why was Kubica so much slower that Heidfeld?

Experience, car setup??? Hiedfeld seems in inspired form.
