As I see the race after a few replays:
Monty has at least 50%(Id say 70) credit for the crash with Mark, the way he cut in has to be regarded as highly uninspired(even if Mark was a touch late on the brake). Monty as if didnt care if he might hit another car or not going into that bend. I dont think any of the other accidents, e.g.Ralf vs.Fernando would have necessarily occured without that.
Both FERRARIS and especially Michael were pretty much done by the first bend while brave old Mark who was worst off took the blame on himself??
If I was deciding at WILLIAMS I would definitely have a word with my boys about their attitude. Mark first plays a stinker because Nick passed him in Monaco and then blames himself for Montys reckless move?? Nick finishes fair enough 2nd twice incl. one from pole and says he expected Kimi to pass him at the start but that the 2 races couldnt have been any better for him...I mean Michael or Kimi or Fernando and even some of the others would have said it could have been even better - if they had won the races. Mark and Nick should visit a sports psychologist to become potential champions. Dont get me wrong I like them both as drivers and I wouldnt mind if they won the Championship, its just hard to accept their reactions
Also couldnt follow Nicks opinion of having had the right 3-stop strategy(Kimi and Fernando 2 stops..).
MCLAREN still had the best car as predicted, Kimi drove very well but was under much more pressure and consequently after a small error his tyre has been done causing the whole wheel to come off. Hat down to Kimis unbroken will to win that race. My driver of the day as with a bit of luck it would have been 3km further...
Monty, see above, plus race unspectacular maybe due to the car.
RENAULT recovered remarkably from their tyre wear(or did they?) at least speedwise. Fernando came home on slicks but pushed Kimi into that terminal suspension breakdown. Great drive, nothing short of Kimi. Fisico is keeping the bad luck(sgd, is that down to cheating or team order?
)
bud drove well.
FERRARI were definitely worse than I expected, somewhat of a step back. Probably Michael suffered more either through choice of Tyres or whatever, he definitely looked ordinary this time(unlike Bahrain, Imola, Barcelona and Monaco)even if he might have achieved more without the first bend full stop. Rubens did comparatively well(on the worse strategy?) and might have been more impressive too without Montys move.
REDBULL remain the biggest surprise package of the season incl. David. Respect! He even might be driver of the day too by doing the result on a still inferior package. I love it. Tonio, well they wont find it hard now to let Christian race the next races...
TOYOTA, BAR and SAUBER shouldnt be judged on that race but Felipe went Michaels speed for most of the race. They all need to find gears for the next races...
in the EuropeGP he'd won in no Webber the-super-fast. (of course assuming Kimi had retired)...
