Jarno was on the racing line, he did not have to surrender it to HK...

 

Yep...and this right here means it won't be Lewis, because he is not the best.

 

They were about dead-even, with Heike carrying more speed, when Jarno made his move. Yes I understand his move was in the direction of the racing line. But it was still a move, defensive and successful as it happens. He'd have looked quite the fool in the collision if Heike didn't drive off the track to avoid him. Sort of a Coulthard maneuver.

 

good race indeed.

The intimidation factor of the Ferrari reliability was ever more present. Kimi down 50hp and still managed 2nd. Forget the rest, I would love to see he and Massa fighting for the rest of the season. But Hamilton will bounce back and I think it will be those three battling for the remainder of the season, with the odd bimmer into the fold. But BMW solidified why they are not ready to win a wdc anytime soon.. Heidfeld again looked pathetic..sheesh..

Heiki should watch some old Montoya videos on how to pass .. sheesh..

I can't even come to grips of what to say about Honda, so i won't. :-(

 

Yeah unfortunately, 2008 is a writeoff. All work now is for next year. The RA108 is done. There will be no tweaks to it as all R&D is for next year's chassis.

Brawn and crew are in full swing for next season anyway. New rules will hopefully give Honda some more competitiveness. Brawn hinted in interviews they will be pushing the envelope of the rules for aero next year. If Honda can nail the chassis...which I have great confidence in Braun doing....I think it is not out of the realm of possibility to see Honda competing for some podiums and at the very least....getting points in the 4-8 spots.


**PS..note I said some. If we get FA in a seat...I think we can see a possible run at a WDC for Honda. Remember the hot rumors in late 07 of Alonso getting fitted for a seat. Was it just to get some dimensions to build a chassis and some aero around him? One can hope. I would love it too...the arch-nemesis of LH in a Honda seat...that would be awesome.

 

I get to watch the race tonight as my VCR was programmed this morning, for SPEED...
