Last time everybody were excited of a fight between Alonso and Heidfeld.
Today Kubica proved he can fight with Ferrari! :)

Ron Dennis admits that the option tyre was probably the tyre to be on today but says it didn't appear that way yesterday. Fair enough I suppose :?

Hey guys, 1st time poster here :D

Wow that was a great race lead changes here there and everywhere. Was a shame to see Hamilton's pace drop as it was looking to be a fantastic 3 man rumble from the start. But i'm a Kimi fan anyway so yay! (also have a country of birth loyalty to Lewis aswell though!)

Anyway great race for all those lucky to catch it!

First, a warm welcome to all those who have joined us and to all those who took part in the commentary.

Congratulations to Kimi Raikkonen for winning his second race in a row. Well done to Alonso as well for staying in touch with Raikkonen. Hamilton continued his podium finish run but he couldn't match the two in front from the second stint onwards.
Kubica did well keeping Massa behind but a great effort from Massa to finish 5th despite starting from the pitlane.
Heidfeld was outraced by his teammate while Kovalainen managed to get the better of his teammate Fisichella.

It was also good to see the 2 Hondas finish in the top 10.

Your thoughts and the driver of the race ?

Firstly, Hambone wants to be a tad careful. If he shuts the gate on some other drivers the way he did on Kimi, he will be wearing a Bridgestone treadmark on his helmet.
Driver of the day goes to Massa/Kimi split.
Racer of the day.....Massa/Kubica split.
Wimp of the day.....Fisi.
Team Stuff up of the day...RedBull/Mclaren split.
Hero of the day,....Sato....didn't torpedo anyone, didn't even make it on Camera :shock: Hasn't this guy matured :clap:
Idiot of the day.....me, tis 1:30 am, why don't the teams plan a strategy each, reveal their strategies at what woul be the final pit stop, start the race there, then the guys actually race each other for the last 20 laps or so.......bugga, they can't, they have to save their engines for the next race.
If I ever meet Max, you guys will read about it.
