Ok, my views :)

The FIA did mess up a potentially great battle between LH and SV.

The Ferrari fans will hate the decision the only thing they have to go/complain about is the fact it took 20 laps to hand out the punishment, however Hamiltons move/decision and hesitation from my view is fine and Alonso would of done the same it may of been a simple misjudgement of where the white line is...

KK did a great job, he was fine to race how he was yes he was a little slower than Button, but i still think regardless of the speed differential that Button if hes good enough and fast enough he should be fine.

Now back to Ferrari, if you look after KK pitted he was Behind Alonso, KK went past him with ease if he can't even take on KK then he sure can't take on the McLarens.

Fantastic Results for Sauber and in a way for Williams too.


Now lets go to the big big big talking point of the crash between HK and MW... It wasn't really anyone's fault as such.

Here is what happened:
1) HK moved out wide (off line) expecting the redbull to go on the inside and pass, but he stayed behind to get the slipstream.
2) HK then decided to move back inside to get ready for corner and at the same time MW moved in to either stay in the slipstream or by coincidence.
3) HK was then in a split second not sure if he should move or not and did a tiny little wobbled movement (it may be his fault because of this)
4) HK then braked at his usual breaking point, which compared to the red bull is alot earlier.

Just like with normal cars, the car behind is to blame. MW should of known that HK breaks earlier than he does and it should be the faster car and/or the car who is overtaking to make the move to overtake and take the responsibility of it.

I would suggest a rule clarification, being that the slower cars must NOT move off line to think about letting cars past they must stick to normal lines if fighting for position.

The car, like said before behind is the one who should have to make the move.


Driver of the Day: K Kobayashi, followed by R Barrichello for their fantastic drives!

Sporting regulation update

3.5.2 When the FIA Formula 1 World Champion ship is at any even in Spain, any driver:-
a) Infront.
b) possibly finishing infront.
of driver Fernando Alonso will be handed a penalty or drive through penalty and will continue to until Fernando Alonso finishes at least on the podium.



I am waiting to Seb, Lewis and Koby to fail post race scrutineers.

I like Alonso, but good lord he can be painfull on the ears sometimes.

Great stuff from Kobi, the spirit of Taku is trully within him :whip: .


Typical wop thinks he deserves better than he gets.Got outpaced by a rookie teammate with Lewis. :wink::hehe:

He was right about them taking half the race to make a descision though. It was clear as day and a descision could have been made in 2 minutes.

Not really, it was very marginal.

From the helicopter shot, he clearly overtook after the safetycar line.

most incidents take a fair amount of time to investigate properly, nothing new here! would you rather the stewards just throwing out penalties left right and centre without thoroughly investigating?

He hesitated, as though unsure of the rules. Also it ws still in the pit lane white lines. I dont think it was clear. Same old story, rules not really clear. he got the penalty anyway.

Yeah but 20 laps or so is pushing it.0 I feel that particular incident could have been dealt with in a few minutes and we could have got on with the racing.

I recall a similiar thing in singapore 08 where Rosberg was left out for half of the race before being handed a penalty, where lewis might have finished ahead had it been dealt with sooner.

Lewis was in the wrong yeh but only marginaly and it ruined what could of a great battle for the lead.


I am proud of you saying Lewis made a mistake. Mclaren/Lewis made the best of the position that they where in after that :)
