Originally posted by jon And also i belive the new rule regarding tiers is wrong, maybee limit the number of sets allowed of each type (dry/wet/inter) by 2 or 3 sets, but not to 1 set per race and qualifying, look at the effect it had on alonso at monoco and for M schumacher when he had those puntchers... tiers loosing grip round monacco is a safty issue, and the rule should be scrapped.

Actually it goes to highlight the skill of some of the drivers. Just as setup ability differs from the good to the not so good drivers, so does tyre choice, and also how they then treat those tyres, the smoother driver who maybe races a little smarter can make their tyres last a lot longer than the driver that just throws their car around.
The whole excitement of the Williams/Alonso (followed by the train/Alonso) battle wouldn't have happened if not for that rule, the same was seen in Barcelona, tyres going off at the end of the race and causing late race battling.
In the old days (back in real racing like the 50, 60s and early 70s) they didn't change tyres except for damage (little pointless side note)

You could also say that the reduction of downforce limits is also a safety issue, which is totally and utterly wrong. I do see your point though, and it can be seen as a safety issue, and to be honest you may have a slight point, but at the end of the day the better driver and the driver who moderates their style will be able to handle it, maintain control, and ultimately the best driver will succeed (with some damn fine racing in between)

I must admit, I was skeptical at first, but I reckon the rule has definitely met its intention.

great lap by Heidfeld, well deserved pole position

i suspect he's low on fuel, though

Damn, Kimi has always terrrible bad luck.. Button must be still shaking after seeing that one coming so close.. and Kimi probably got scared to death as well when the tyre seemed to go straight to his head

Tiago Monteiro breaked a record.. rookie with most consecutive finishes ever in F1 He also did a fine race, even tho we has penalized with a drive through the pits, he went back to win 10 seconds from Karthekyan in, like, 10 laps and overtake him

Alonso has now everything to become world champion..

That was a decent race, shame for kimi at the end, he could have done with 10 points. Also bad luck for webber getting knocked out on the first corner - he prbably would have done well if he stayed in. I liked how coultard jumped up 8 places round the first corner - sucks he had to do a drive through penalty later tho.

Missed the race due to work Heidfeld looks like he's well on the way to making a name for himself.

I wouldn't rule Kimi out just yet, still plenty to play for if they can get the reliability down.
