Yea, that was almost as nasty as that pit screw-up with the Japanese driver (whose name escapes me), who nearly ran over one of his pit crew last year.

You would think, under rational circumstances something like that might be looked into....
Whats the standings now at the end of the race?
This year nothing is rational.

All these rule changes. I mean I agree with some of them but not most.

Mosley and the FIA are going to ruin F1 in the next 4-5 years if they don't stop trying to make it more like Nascar.

Taht would be Nakajima

That pit cockup actually reminded me of Jenson Button's screwup 2 years ago in Imola IIRC

Impossible with control of their car in the hands of Ron Dennis and McLaren.

But then the exiting the pits under red certainly is RB's fault.

Although to be fair to him, he can't very well have the car sit there idling until they opened pitlane.

Bingo.

Thankfully most F1 fans are pretty hardcore fans, but they're doing their best to ruin it. I really can't stand what they're doing to F1 lately. F1 takes pride in being the most technologically advanced form of motor racing, and they're trying their hardest to eliminate any new technological advances. It's sad.
