Ok, you say he was driving on the level of supposedly faster cars. So was his team-mate, even faster at times, your point?
Monteiro also didn't need many laps to close down on Montagny, too bad he then needed about 40 laps and a push to pass him. :D |

Because he turned in too early, making the angle at which he approached the second part of corner much narrower?
I'd like to see which lap time he was on at that particular moment, because I'm not willing to jump to conclusions. If it is true, then I would be extremely disappointed by the unprofessionalism displayed by a guy of that status.

Maybe he was deliberately trying to spin already entering the corner, then when it didn't work out he makes that incomprehensible 2nd correction when the car isn't locked up anymore |
He was still travelling at pretty high speed after the lock-up, so the correction was needed to avoid the barriers. Going straight on and hitting the breaks was the only thing he could do to avoid damage to the car (he would have damaged the left front pretty heavily if he carried on). |

| I have to say that i'm very impressed that all 22 cars were still running and there had been no major accident for the first big stint of the race. I was expecting carnage at the beginning like the previous few years. |

i don't think it adds up because in my mind he had to break hard *approaching the corner* which is about the same time or before he picks a poor line, meaning he was already predicting a up.

I don't know the exact lap times, but people on autosport forums were saying he wasn't improving his (at the moment provisionary pole) time. Alonso was beating it.

Hum no, the thing he needed to do to avoid the barriers was to keep turning right.
Look at the onboard (here is an youtube link), he is turning right then moves the wheel back to straight position to avoid a spin as there's a lock-up, turns right again then does a second correction which is totally un-necessary since the car is already under control and not moving anywhere as fast (unlike you seem to claim). Only when the car is already impossible to turn without hitting the wall he decides to go right for once.
I know the video is slow-motion, so things were a lot faster but still it doesn't make any sense to do that correction, the whole thing looks very odd. |

Kimi should just quit Mclaren.....its always his car and not that ty bastard Montoya's
Schumi did well coming back from the grid. Alot of coverage on him.....guessing the media wanted him to have one of those dream back to front wins so they can continue the stories of him being a cheat :rolleyes:
Also for the american F1 fans how AWFUL is CBS!!! Its almost like a joke if we showed the CBS coverage to Paradork/Cloud etc they would laugh uncontrolably(sp) |

What a great race, i enjoyed watching MS travel from pitlane to 5th and also lovely driving by Raikkonen and Webber :( poor bastards always has problems especially in races where they can achieve a podium finish.
The only way that Michael can catch up is if Alonso has a DNF or finishes outside the points in some races. This was a crucial race for MS :mad: I hope in Silverstone they get it right again. |

At the Barcelona race one of our commentators kept on saying the 10 first placed would get points.
In another race they labeled an overtake as "Ronaldinho style".
Everyone thinks their coverage is . |

It's so sad for Kimi, his car really sucks. Last year he DNF because of technical issues 8 times and this year it's all the same again.
He will never sign a new contract with McLaren, why should he do that? Most of the time he shows everyone that he has the speed to compete with Alonso but his car always drags him down. So I'm sure he'll go to Ferrari or Renault next year. Of course Renault would be the better decision if Todt, Brown & co leave Ferrari at the end of the season.
And good luck to Alonso next year when he has to deal with the Mercedes engine :haha: |

Gah, you can see the margins in the f1 standings table begin to stretch out - i was hoping that all the changes this year would prevent this :(
Name - Points
1 Fernando Alonso - 64
2 Michael Schumacher - 43
3 Giancarlo Fisichella - 27
4 Kimi Raikkonen - 27
5 Juan Pablo Montoya - 23
6 Felipe Massa - 20
7 Jenson Button - 16
8 Rubens Barrichello - 13
I would love it if the margins between the top 5 contenders was less than about 10 points throughout the whole season (probably never gonna happen though). Then the season finishing races would be very intense rather than knowing who has already won. The teams at the bottom of the table are just pointless - they constantly retire and score no points, i think the top teams should give some money to the crap ones so that they can at least sort of compete. |
