I completely agree with this statement.
Its funny to watch him race the slower cars. He gives it a very hard go for a couple of laps and if does not pass then completely loses it.

 

I'm mad as hell at myself!!!

I have been so caught up working on my fall sporting roadster tour I completely forgot there was a race. I remember checking the SPEED TV schedule and just completely forgot about FOX carrying this one.

Now I'm even madder, not only did I miss a race, but I missed a chance to see LH screw up, or, should I say, perform at his best...

I think the best part of his season 2 is the fact that his true character is coming to the surface.

 

This is 100% on target!

 

Complete domination from Ferrari this race.

I was very surprised at the lack of pace from the BMWs - didn't expect that.

I have to laugh at McLaren thinking they were harshly treated with penalties. LH should have given the position back immediately - it happened on the first lap! He is in a McLaren, a supposedly much faster car then the STR, so he should have been able to get him later...

 

No kidding!
Toyota taking a 3rd???

 

i'm actually suprised they didnt contact McLaren right away and make him give the position back. i do actually think the drivethru penalty was a bit harsh.

 

I'm ambivalent about the penalty. I mean, he was clearly past before the chicane. Yes, he would not have stayed ahead if not for cutting the chicane. But LOTS of drivers lose it after a pass into a corner. They don't get penalized for blowing the corner even if they manage to stay ahead of whoever they cut off.

Why wasn't Jarno penalized for driving into Heike (which is ALL that kept Heike from passing for 3rd near the end)?

 

To be honest, first I thought it was a 'no penalty' pass, but looking at it over and over LH made teh pass only because he cut the corner. That is against the rules, ergo penalty is deserved. If he would have been cool, he should have let the Toro Rosso back into position and pass it again => no penalty.

I would argue that the drivers who keep their position after running wide let the passed car come back past within the lap. Otherwise they are penalised.

Jarno did not drive into Heikki [both Finnish names btw ], Heikki just jerked away just before contact. Imho Jarno was too aggressive, but there was no contact and he stayed on the track thus, no penalty needed.

BTW Heikki feels that Jarno's racing was 100% A OK.

 

Still early, kids. As much as I love the Scuderia, I'd rather see Hamilton win the WDC than Massa. Now that dude, I don't like.

 

True that is. Looong way to go until the season is over. The best driver is the one with most points in the end...
