Kimi must be feeling pretty low about how Filipe is getting so much more out of the same chassis. And Ferrari must be scratching their collective head over Kimi as well. Does he have a contract for next year?
For the past few races I have noticed that Kimi starts very slowly and then halfway through the race wakes up from his drunken stupor and starts racing.

The way he overtook Massa and Piquet was so unrefined. It felt like he was brawling with them.

There you go!

Thank God Glock's car f'ed up and made the race actually enjoyable (for a while).

Don't tell me there were no McLaren team orders. Heikki has been saying he's as fast as Lewis so why didn't he TRY to prove it yesterday?

Was it just me or were there lots of empty seats at the Hockenheimring? 12 miles from Heidelberg, which is where I'm planning to move by the end of next year. Whoo-hoo!

And where is Kimi? Was he out partying too much this race weekend. Another big disappointment.
My Kimi concerns are becoming more and more elevated, last couple of races and he has just not come to terms with the car, at all.

As far as Massa, I get the feelin he was indeed trying, ut the McLaren had the right setup and in fact, it was going fas.

I'm right here... and I'm still no fan of LH.

Ineresting, all so many people were are all up in arms when Ferrari enacted team orders back in the MS days when it had yet to be banned, but now that McClaren clearly do it, it's all ok?

McCheaters is right, I'm impressed you see them for what they are.

Yea but back to FA. Rumor is he will be driving something red in 2009.
I too have read the rumors, but I have a very hard time believing Ferrari is actually interested in FA.

My support of FA wavers, clearly a gifted driver, but from a personality point of view and team player point of view I think he has some big shortcomings.

Look, McCheaters's car is good currently, and the OVER RATED, peice of dripping Blood pudding Snivley British Wench is making the best of it currently.

Just remember, as of right now She has won the most battles but She has not nor will ever win the War. She will chock the Queens Septor at least 2 more times this year(which is only logical as She is a sassy broad), just like last year.

The flying Drunk Finn in the Craparri will be equal to the unibrow with 2 come Nov 2nd.

Dont for get Snivley Lovers, you will hear My/our NON Stop laughing, teasing, and ridicule of the British Swallower of Septor from Nov 2nd till... well forever and you will all deserve it, as you chose to jump on the coat tails of the token sucker of F1.

My Name is Marco, and of course I approve this message, I wrote it! I also stand by it, and will take all REAL bets in ANY currency, but they must be paid in USD

I watched the tape over and over in slow-mo and it was amazing, you could see the car run wide, then hop a little as it went off the edge of the curbing, when the rear of the car came back down from the hop the right suspension just broke, the rear wheelturned in, and away he went...

It was amazing to see the car tracking fine until that little hop, and then when the car came down from the hop it was just too much for those suspension components.

I have to admit, I was very surprised to not see medics take better precautions. There was a VERY MINOR shunt at Watkins Glen during the IRL race, one driver just got bumpd off track in Turn One, the car never made contact with the wall, but the driver complained of back pain and they had a long standing yellow to get him out of the car and onto a back board. F1 amazes me at times, it is supposed to be the best of the best, and sometimes it just seems like the show is run by a bunch of hacks...
