^^ Dude, happens... Kimi didn't do that on purpose. Yes, technically it was Kimi's fault because he lost the car, but it's not like he was trying some stupid pass where his car just wouldn't fit and he was trying to be greedy.
It's unfortunate for sure that Sutil didn't get his well deserved 4th place, but that's racing. |

Horrible what he did and the guy had a chance to score points and all.
Anyhow great driving (and luck) by hamilton and mclaren is back in the race :D
Very dissapointed with kov. |
Yes you can blame Kimi for the actual accident, but as said before, he was not being stupid, just cautious. Kimi has had so many races ruined by situations that were not his fault, there is no way he would purposely do the same to somebody else. This accident was compared to the last one where he clipped Hiki's rear tires, and ruined his race. Again not Kimi's fault, as Hiki cut across, it was just a racing incident. People are acting as if every incident is avoidable.
Disappointed with Hiki? He didn't stall on the grid, it was a software malfunction. Given the insane conditions at Monaco, he did pretty well to try and fight through the field. Plus, he was switched over to drys a bit early to give Lewis a helping hand. Hiki is not as good as Lewis, yes, but he is doing ok. |

| I just feel so bad for Sutil and the team. They were so close to having one of the best finishes ever for them.... and here comes the Ferrari and slams into their back. Honestly i dont know what caused the accident... was there anything official? Or are you just juts speculating? I know it didnt look like he did it on purpose. |

Well Max won his vote of confidence, and is still FIA President. The largest FIA members are threatening to break away and form their own regulatory body, because they feel they were unfairly only given one vote, even though they contain millions of members.

| The BMWs were unusually very quick on the Friday... could mean that Kubica might win this, at last. But 1 inch further on that wall and he'll join the very long list of people who have crashed at the Wall of Champions. ;) |

Anyhow great that Hami has P1... Good for BMW to get P2.
My guess is that Ferrari is heavy on fuel? |

| my guess is the track breaking up lost a lot of time for Kimi and Massa. Anything can happen in the race |

Ferrari definitely aren't very quick here. I don't know why, because in the other tracks they have very high top speeds, yet in a high speed circuit like this they're lacking in it compared to the opposition.
Seems like the car can't handle corners very well when in low downforce setup.
Anyway, this race is going to be a lottery, with the track breaking up and possibilities of rain, plus with the barriers so close to the track, there are going to be safety cars. Hamilton seems way quicker than anyone else but the win could go to anyone who qualified in the top 5 (Kubica, Raikkonen, Alonso, Rosberg). |

The track breaking up is nothing new. Cheap owners / organizers just can't get it right. I walked acros the hairpin after the 2006 race and thought all the little balls were marbles of rubber until I got right up close and it was actually the asphalt that had been picked away by the cars.
Why can't they lay a surface that doesn't break up?
Breaking up after quali is just plain sad.
Get it right, ******s!!! |
