Think this is a good chance for BMW to get their first win.
One of the Ferraris will probably not finsih (hopefully!)
Leaving only Trulli to ram past to get on the podium at least.
COME ON HEIDFELD!

Rain is predicted in about 20 minutes...
Massa screwed up again...
Massa.... 2 races into the Non TC era..... 2 mistakes. Sums him up really for mine. He dropped his bundle big time when Kimi abused him on the inlap, leapfrogs him and then hammers him in the following outlaps...... game over and his mind wandered.
Arrghhhhh..... Hamilton is gonna clean up Trulli here, and there goes another point in the gap between kimi and Hamilton....... Dammit.
Supreme effort from Hamilton though given the Macca is not quite right....
Bravo Jarno ! :D
indeed......... but my boy Kimi was SUPREME. A great driver from Kubica also!!Quote:

Apparently the rear of the car felt funny. :)
really! I don't think he even felt it!Quote:

Can we get Mike to take over Massa's seat for a few races?
Good Night!
Kimi was brilliant today and Ferrari are back in the hunt. I am very happy :)
You mix up ... Hamilton is the guy who always needs excuses ...Quote:

Remember Gilles ... who would think about wanting excuses from him?
Nice.
Poor Hamilton, he must feel like Alonso last year after 5-6 races : the new guy is faster both in qualifications as in the race. :DQuote:

good racing by Alonso and DC, and good racing by Nick to overtake two cars at once.
Apart from that, it was a pretty standard race.
once again if Beemer had a certain former wdc in one of its cars, who would be leading the wdc right now?
Nick: fastest lap and battled his way from fifth place at the start to finish sixth.....
He shouldn't of been on the limit in that situation!Quote:

This is 2008! As far as I know Gilles is still dead.
Otherwise I'd like to know if he had an excuse for throwing away 8 points!
Excuse #1Quote:

This doesn't bode too well for the others.. :s

Q: And after that quite a lonely race, really?
KR: Yeah. For sure we could have gone much faster if we had pushed but we had already turned the engines down before the first pit stop, after the first laps, so it was quite easy for us.
Not the most exciting race but Kimi Raikkonen deserves his victory. Massa seemed to lose heart after Raikkonen passed him. Kubica drove consistently well to a good second place and Kovalainen was good value for his third place. I think Jarno Trulli had the best race, I was expecting the Toyota to plummet backwards through the field as is usual but he kept it up there and got a very good fourth place. Lewis Hamilton had a poor race. His start was good but after the pitstop and tyre choice cost him a chance of third place.
A part from Trulli, Kimi's race was perfect, Kubica did a great job and earned a deserved 2nd place :up:
It was very interesting that, although he was in front of Lewis, Mark Webber knew who he was racing against and kept asking where Alonso was.
Clearly, Alonso was a little faster, but Mark held on for the extra point. Although Sepang is seemingly a very wide track, in reality, there is very little chance of overtaking.
ITV get f$#$#d
if lewis is the golden boy itv make him out to be why could he not just pass Mark Webber. itv said maney times that being stuck behind mark ruined lewis's race.
i think mclaren ruined lewis's race.
I was disappointed by the way Hamilton was unable to pass anyone after the initial lap, I was expecting a lot when he made such a good start making up on the lost qualifying positions.Quote:

How come nobody has mentioned Massa squeezing Kimi to the wall at the start? Perhaps his off was a bit of justice?
