JB has KR in his sights right now!! JB is on the 2 stop strategy.

 

Worst line ever stated in F1 coverage:

"Michael just can't get a break"

What a bunch of shit...

 

Yeah, that is quite a stretch.

I am pissed at BAR. They lost that race in the pits with that stupid 10.2 second stop. That wast the difference.

 

sato, again was a non-factor. at least the motor didn't blow.

what a bad job on williams part with RS's pit.. he was running a great race too..

 

But BAR were running a two stop, hence the longer pit?

 

JB needed to be faster towards the end of his stints... he wasn't. Early on, he was setting fast laps on a heavy fuel load that only Ferrari beat on very low fuel. Mid/late race, though, JB's laps weren't that great.

 

6th place finish, after starting at P18, securing 3 valuable points? Seems like a good job to me. Notice how far MS got after starting from the pits (essentially P19).

I agree on the Williams thing... "these aren't your tires" WTF? Who cares, put them on!

 

I understand that Rich but I think he only needed about 8 secs of fuel. I think we would have been lighter at the end and wouldn't have slipped as far back. To be honest, I understand BAR doesn't want to lose any precious points in the Constructor championship -- but I think they should have really risked it, cut it close, and given JB the minimum fuel. Yes, he may have ran out but the chance of him finally winning a race should have been weighed and worth the risk. Now, who the am I to question the race team. but the announcers seemed to agree.

Secondly it really hurt when RB pitted and still pulled out ahead of JB, because JB was caught behind lapped traffic.
