......and from qualifying it looks to have been a very good move indeed!!!

Live Stream. A bit late, but it's on now.

 

Senna qualified well, but showed his inexperience in the first corner....hope he gets better. Of course, if Heidfeld wins his court case it all could be for naught. But I think even if Quick Nick wins, a judicious amount of money will change hands and it will all go away.....along with Nick.

However, there's Romain Grosjean in the wings with a fresh GP2 title under his belt too, and already under contract to Renault......erm Lotus..........erm, whatever they'll be calling themselves next year.

Great drives by both Michael Schumacher, Jensen Button and even Mock Webba after his horrendous start. What is it with Webbo and these bad starts? His car is exactly the same ae Vettel's, and Seb doesn't have these problems.....

Great race! Lots of passing and repassing thruout, tire problems galore and no weather intrusion - terrific weekend!

 

Senna's prospects didn't last but till the very first turn......

Also can't figure what the deal is with Webber's starts, he had the RPMs but the car bogged down...too little throttle in fear of wheel spin?

Have to admit Button had a great race considering; and it was so good to see a bit of the young Schumacher shining through. I would so love to see his final retirement be on an up note....

But in the end it twas Seb and Red Bull atop the podium....still the team to beat and with the showing Alonso had, me thinks the Scudaria still has a ways to go to catch them.....

 

Speculation, but I think he was gobsmacked that he took himself out & just sat there soaking it all in. From where I sat Kobie did nothing wrong.

I'm certain he will have his head looked at, first by the doctors & next by the team.

 

If you watch the in-car when it happened, Hamilton made no steering input at all.

And you can see from the down track camera that the distance from the white fog line to Kobie's car actually increases as Kobie goes down the track.

 

Almost brings a tear to your eye, don't it......

 

Wow.....and from his in car camera it didn't appear he made any steering input at all.

Must have still been a bit "dizzy" from the off............

 

Hey, they left a few words - Here is the complete quote:

"Obviously, my attitude might have been a bit different with someone else, let's say like my teammate, but, in the end, it worked out for me today but, in Monza, maybe it's his turn to do it to me."

 

I just watched that again (and again), and Hamilton was holding his line after a solid pass, looking into the apex. Kobayashi took the turn on the outside, trusting his own idea (not a good strategy) of what Hamilton was going to do. He should have held his position and tried to pass after the chicane. IMO

I cry shenanigans. :mad5:

Dang.....how did I miss that video of Button loosing his mirror!
All I could think of after watching it was Massa..........:eek6:

 

That could have been real ugly...:eek6:

 

Yep. That thing went through the mirror like hot knife through butter.
