Completely disagree - afraid I can't name any of the races, but since safety cars were introduced I have seen many races where the experienced driver in the lead car has been "jumped" on the re-start.
Unfortunately on Sunday, for some reason Heidfeld seemed to have no inclination whatsoever to put Hamilton under any pressure on the re-starts - perhaps he was under orders from Bernie?
If Montoya was still in F1 and had been 2nd, the re-starts would have been much more exciting.
And as has already been said, the mental pressure of building up that huge lead to then have it wiped out, would probably crack many lesser drivers - just look at Trulli throwing it off the road without any such pressure!
That could indeed be interesting
I can remember people being caught out, but not in the best car, or not in the best car and then failing to re-assert
But nobody will know - it's history now
Do you honestly think Heidfeld had the equipment to put pressure on Hamilton?
