2008 F1 Season

[ferni]

All Ferrari had to do at that first pit stop, was look at Maclaren, see what they were doing for Hammo, and copy, and add a few more laps of fuel. Then Kimi would of leap-frogged Hamilton at the 2nd pit stop. That's pretty straight forward isn't it?

Pretty impressive when Hamilton went on to be lapping 6 seconds faster than most of the field on the same tyres later on in the race. Also some big balls moves by him right at the start trying to take Kov and eventually passing him.

For Christ sake, he salvaged 4th in woeful circumstances, was it not only a couple of races ago, in predictable circumstances where Hammo couldn't even get into the points from a bad start?? 4th Was great for Kimi considering the events that unfolded, anyone would think he was lapped 10 times and finished dead last the way are talking about the Ferraris, I agree about Massa though, deft one to forget for him..

[sh@un]

It's remarkably surprising how quickly people have forgotten his little off track excursion...

No one forgot it- He got a little taily turning in under brakes and ran out of room to gather it up before the edge of the track (understandable given the conditions)

So that was 1 minor indiscretion versus how many full spins for everyone else?. Massa went for almost 3 full rotations on one outing (of the many)

Sad times ahead for Williams. I will bet money that Rosberg will be gone at years end. He simpy cant afford to play ball at Williams any longer. He needs to jump ship soon before a new flock of it drivers enter the ranks.

But where to. Heidfeld needs to continue driving like a champion at BMW to keep his seat. Kubica wont be going anywhere whilst Ferrari have contracted drivers. The only teams i can see pickingup Rosberg are Renault longside Alonso or Honda.

I can only really see Alonos leaving Renault for Nicks seat at BMW, in which case Renault would kill for Rosberg over the other drivers on the market. Nick and Rosberg could be an interesting pairingat Renault. LOL, after beingtold a few weeks ago that the driver market was about to go into overdrive it looks like it has slowed down

no possibility of Alonso is off to team jihad?

Rosberg to Mclaren would reinstate my love for the team, not to mention increase the possibility of them being in the hunt for a WCC or two... because currently there is no way thats going to happen

well very dissapointing outing for my boys webber and kubica.

webber had it all for the taking. and sadly he dropped it on lap one. he looked good for a comeback and watching him move up from 18th to 10th was awesome, but why on earth the team decided to leave him on worn inters when there was more rain forecast is beyond me. that same mistake cost kimi a podium too. had webber either got new inters or even done one stint on wets he no doubt would have been up in the points. however he still maintains 8th in the WDC which is no mean feat in a red bull. still it was a big opportunity to grab a podium in a topsy turvy kind of race and he squandered it.

I don't really know what the koobs problem was but he didn't exactly cover himself in glory either.

DC and Vettel coming together was just insane. two team mates should not be coming together like that.

hamilton, well he did well. drove a neat, safe race and brought it home in P1, can't ask for much more than that I guess. except that fking martin brundle had to ruin it right at the end with another bloody 'senna' comparison. wanker.

You were right? Did anyone say Rubens did or did not make the call? That article is about Rubens. It doesnt actually clarify the Ferrari situation?!?!?!?!

Doesnt really matter a whole lot, between the pit wall and coclpit they got the call wrong. So did Renault, RBR, BMW along with Ferrari. So they were not the only ones.
