kimi's haircut rules!!!

Here's one to ague about Safety car out car out of fuel pit lane closed driver peanalised with drive through is it not now time to sort this pit lane closure rule once and for all

well it was an eventful race.

1. poor vettel out again !!!
2. Heikki's fast crash ! (gave the thumbs up tho =)
3. Alonso's engine :(
4. Rubens front wing was very strange indeed!
5. Mark Webber And Jenson doing brill =)
6. KIMI WINNING WOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!

and rest you can pick =)

1st thing - Ferrari not as quick as they thought... Lewis and Robert kept them very honest throughout the race. I still think Lewis could've had more of a go at Massa, but perhaps he was pushing hard enough as it was... he was 9 km/h faster in Campsa than anyone else!!!! thats big...

2. BMW (in Kubica at least..) had very good race pace, not as quick as Lewis and the Ferraris but there 'for sure'....

3. Alonso's engine... these things happen, but his pace wasn't too bad when he was running, just a bit slower than the BMW's which is what Flavio said they would be... his hyperbole paid off for once lol

4. Heikki's crash... I'm not saying its a McLaren design fault or the wheel companies'... but it was very similar to Lewis' accident at the Nurburgring... but then this time it could be down to those covers... if it is a stone like Ron said, then it could've got trapped in the space between the cover and the wheel, and that could tear the wheel apart...

Good on him for giving the thumbs-up though... He's a very nice man who understood that we were all worried about him, and as soon as we could see he was ok we could get on with racing..

5. Rubens front wing... I think it was broken by a stray airgun left out by another team... if I was Honda I'd be looking into how it happened, because there could be trouble for that team if they left a gun out for Rubens to hit

As usual with Spanish GP, it was very dull and save for a few random moments (Rubens' front wing anyone?!) wont go in the record books of fantastic races. Even the commentators sounded bored silly. Not a good start for the 'European Season'.
Lewis made a good start, as did Alonso but the Ferrari's looked very comfortable and weren't exactly pushed to their limit.

I can only hope Turkey won't turn out to be another turkey (poor pun, i'm sorry. . .)

So many DNFs. Poor Alonso, he was doing really well and his engine gave way. And unfortunately for Vettel and Sutil, it was not a weekend to remember. ANd poor Heikki, going into the tyre barriers. At least he could still give us a thumbs up to show that he is OK.

And Kimi took the win to lead the championship. Ferrari is also leading the constructor's now.

Not my favourite so far this season.
I'm sorry that Alonso couldn't have made as much with his low fuel stategy as Webber managed but I guess his car had other problems. Hamilton put in a great drive, well done to him.
The high was definetly Kimi winning and the low was Heikki's accident. I hope he is fine.

best race of the year so far

Kimi looks fat with no hair! lol.

Lots of action from the back but the front of the grid was pretty boring.

Glad that Heikki is ok, too bad Alonso blew his engine, he was having a good race. That little incident with DC was not surprising and I'm glad the stewards are taking the time to investigate it because although it did not seem like his fault, his pace had dropped and the toyota was catching up.

Kimi is FAT!!!!

What was with Trulli third pitstop where they did nothing. Nothing! Radio communications problem, apparently - - he came in by mistake and cost himself 2 places. Bizarre.

"Fat Boy Kim" needs to lose 6kg like Kubica did. But a good drive - - same for Flippy and Lewis. Well done Webber.

Uppers,
Webber is finally having a solid season.
Button as always, brilliant in a hectic race.
Fisichella has got some fight back!

Downers,
Alonso's retirement, was driving great.
Davidson's bad luck continues at an unabated pace.
Rosberg's engine going bang when he had climbed from 15TH to 7TH.

Kimi lookes like he was out on bail ! lol

I thought at first that Heikki had been badly hurt going by the replay of the accident, lucikly he's just taken a smack on the head, other than that Lewis was faster than the Mclaren and Ferrari walked it really.

Bet you like cricket as well, another exciting sport ???

Mclaren kept up the pace and had more fuel in for Qually
Shame they could have ran on the harder tyres on two sessions rather than one...may have made a difference ?

Ferrari are the team to beat... must be a good car to get chunky Kimi around .... too many Pizzas ?

Wish I had seen Rubens incident ? maybe he thought he could go faster without the new wing mod ?

Alonso.... was racey but power pack let him down, it was on its second sitting

Williams.... Toyota engines had problems too

Webber had a good run.... no reliabilty issues

Jenson just picked up the pieces from the DNF

Shame the new rookies are getting a hard time at the back of the grid

Sato.... no comment just a cash cow for the team

Glad Heikki seems to be okay....strange looking incident in my opinion as it looked exactly the same as the failure Lewis had last year at the Nurburgring.
Other than the usual shunts and bumps I thought it was an awful race.
It was good to see that Mclaren and BMW have a similar race pace to Ferrari which could prove eventful at later races. Great to see Jenson in the points. Bad luck for Heidfeld. That pit lane/safety car scenario really needs to be looked at. It's dreadfully unfair to punish someone if they're about to run out of fuel.
I'm struggling to find anything positive to say to be honest, it was just plain boring.

kimi was wonderful,ferrari set up was great.

well it was defo a heart stopping race due to Heikki's off. my heart was going 10 to the dozen! I'm so glad he is ok and will be racing in Turkey.

Poor Vettel, I really don't think that was his fault. it seemed to me that Sutil hit DC then spun off leaving Sebastian nowhere to go.

Piquet was off the track more than once! With the improvements Renault have made I expected him to be at least in the top ten finishers.

I felt so so so sorry for little Anthony Davidson. It seems like stones were a problem for more than one car today!

I also felt sorry for Nick Heidfeld having to have that penalty. I really think that rule should be reviewed. Its too harsh a penalty to pay for something that is out of your control.

DC and Glock, well, as I asked, Is DC's car magnetic or what.

Kimi drove a faultless race and once again the pole sitter has won the race. Perhaps he and Schumie should teach Felipe how to park his car properly lol. either that or make the equipment lighter, his poor mechanics nearly always have to move it!!!

.

Glad Heikki's good to race.

Well done to Massa at the start, excellent reactions and Hamilton for a hard a fair opening gambit again (slag me down but apart from Bahrain i feel he's one of the best starters on the grid - hope i don't jinx him by saying that)

Another fine drive by Raikkonen.

Swop Schhh for Coulthard and everyone would be praising his driving (on this occasion)

Odd rule the pit lane/safety rule. Maybe they should inform the FIA of an impending pit stop and then be allowed to enter??

Not sure on this 2 race engine rule either and haven't been for a few races. It seems to me it may discourage racing at max revs if only for 2 points....turn the revs down and save the engine for next race and get10??
