pole position/first corner defense

[ioan]

FM can be WDC contender, but not WDC material.

That's a bit of a contradiction, isn't it?!

Well done by Massa... he drove expertly today to fend off Hamilton.

LH seems to be getting the max out of the McLaren... again splitting the Italian Stallions.

Looked like Kimi sat back on the first lap, waiting to see who would mess up in turn 1.

Ahh... where was Fernando after the second pit stop ???

Also, Fishi was getting an "earfull" during the close of this race. :

No!

Massa will score enough points to finish 2nd or 3rd in WDC but I seriously doubt his consistancy.

I mean, DC could battle with Mika and Schumi and scored enough points for a WDC fight, but he could never consistantly drive to the same level of Mika and Schumi.

talking about defending position, there has been some critisizm of the way Hamilton zigzagged at the start.
I would not call that chopping - he was just jocking for position(?) and none of the drivers behind him complained.

He said he was inspired by MS, so do not try to protect him when it's so obvious!

This is a great example of how the pole setter tries to defend his position at all costs and still loosing the battle.
