i missed that part but from what i read it was alonso who was angry on massa coz he thought he drove into his left sidepod on purpose
But agree with you that it was one hell of a race and we want more like this :) |

| Looks like Alonso will be WDC again while he doesn't have the best car for 3 years in a row now. Imo the only way Hamilton will win the WDC is if he switches to Ferrari immediately or if Alonso makes stupid mistakes like in Canada :p |

Hey paul
Massa said that he felt vibrations immediately after he came on the track after his last pit stop
Could you throw some light on it?
I mean was there any problem with the car or with the set of tyres he had put on?
As far as i know when a driver has flat spotted a tyre they get bad vibrations, but that could not be the case with Massa i guess |

So much to discuss, amazing race. The pile up in the first corner after the rain was priceless, I was laughing my ass off. That assistance to Hamilton seemed unfair, so i'm glad he didn't get any points in the race.
I didn't see Kimi retire, cause we've had a massive storm here in Warsaw and the Tv that transmitted the race went completely blank for 20 mints or so, until it was 15 laps to go

Did anyone else see Massa's little hissy-fit in the scale room after the race? Suck it up, . That wasn't a rough pass at all. I'm certainly not Alonso's #1 fan, but come on, there wasn't anything wrong with that. Certainly not in the last laps either. Maybe on the 5th lap it might have been a bit touchy, but not when you're racing for the win at the end.

It was Alonso who started arguing, he said something like " you've learnt the bad ways from Schumacher" he accused him of running into him on purpose.
I'm glad Alonso won and closed the gap to Hamilton to 2 points.
Heidfeld tried to replace Schumi by ramming into Robert, which he refuses to take the blame for, he was also innocent in the Ralf incident. He'll never admit his fault, ing pathetic excuse for a driver :rolleyes:
Great job Mark Webber |

Ahh, I stand corrected. I was watching the Dutch feed and the announcers were talking over the audio so I couldn't hear it.
I just thought it was a racing bump, nothing intentional on either part.
They're both whiney bitches then!
Rikhav, as for the vibration, it could have been something that he picked up on his 2nd set of tires but that offset some damage to the suspension (since this was a bumpy and unpredictable race). When the 3rd set gets put on, the now balanced wheel package doesn't sync with the existing bent bits, and causes the vibration.
More than likely, it was just a fluke out of balance wheel, even though that doesn't happen often. They were on the intermediates too, so he could have flat-spotted them quite easily. It doesn't take much to cause a vibration in a wheel/tire combo that's that light.
Stren, I agree that the assistance to Hamilton was unfair. My only thought was in regards to the timing of the red flags & his off. If he went off before the race was declared stopped, then the assistance should disqualify him. If he went off under red flag conditions, he's entitled to take the restart provided his car wasn't damaged (and I think he managed to keep it running the whole time too). Compare this to Liuzzi and the other 3 cars that stuffed it into the same gravel trap, and he was the only undamaged car, and the only one to keep it running....hence maybe the restart and no DQ.
He did impress with a few fastest laps though. I really thought he was going to make a run for it. I thought that they might take the gamble in the last little rain period and leave him out just to maybe try and score a couple points. |

Hey Paul
Thank you for explaining about the vibrations..
About Hamilton, you mean to say his engine was running even when he was air lifted for a few seconds?
To keep the engine for so long is quiet remarkable. We see him doing that during qualifying for the last part but then its for hardly few mins
Now i just hope Kimi's luck changes for the rest of the season. That guy does so much hard work but then he or his driving style can't be blamed for hydraullic problem the car suffers |

I can only assume he kept then engine running since these cars do not have on-board starters. The corner workers wouldn't have push-started him either (if that's even possible with a modern F1 car...).
Yeah, Kimi has had luck for the last few years. He seems to keep a pretty philosophical view of it though. his time will come. |

well he DID run after he was put on the ground, so it must've been. A driver is not able start an F1 car without assistance of the mechanics |

Great race today! I love the Nurburgring. It's like Spa, there can be a dry track on one half of the track, and soaking wet on the other.
Great call by Spyker to bring Winkelhock in for full wets off of the parade lap. Too bad the race was red flagged 'cause that could've been very interesting indeed! I was watching the local Dutch broadcast and the announcers were laughing that a Spyker was actually leading a GP!
The bottom of that hairpin was a swimmingpool. Liuzzi almost took out the safety car, then almost hit the digger!

Races like these are why I watch every event. Even though the majority of the races of the last few years have been only moderately exciting, there's always a race like today to make things interesting. |
ya in the interview they asked him and he seemed kinda pissed
alonso apologized like 4 times lol. anyhow VERY exiting race. sick move by alonso.. FORZA MCLAREN |

rain = awesome
I was also lmao at the cars sliding off at the first corner, wouldn't really have been funny if Liuzzi took out the safety car tho :eyes: |
