It has been stated though that TC is also a safety device as it prevents carnage in the wet. If we have a mass pile up and a driver gets seriously injured, we might hear calls for its return.

That is what makes wet races fun though without TC. Everyone is more on the edge of the car's grip levels and the real wet weather specialists shine through, normally yielding some interesting results in the end.Comment

Christ! I knew Herbert had a big crash in his career but I never saw it before:
And also, just because you can never see it enough!

God only knows why they weren't killed. I read that JH's feet were pretty much pulverised. Modern medicine allowed him to walk and race again.Last edited by Richard.John; 03-04-2007, 14:26.Comment

Should be an interesting race. Rain will play into FA's hands as we know how good he is in the wet, but Ferrari will probably dominate if it stays dry.
It's so close at the top and Ferrari and and Mclaren are in a league of their own right now. Honda are an embarrassment and Renault are looking pretty ropey too. It must be gutting for JB to know that this season is another write off after only two races. He's not getting any younger either.Comment

Yeah, legend has it that his foot was pretty much just hanging on to the rest of his leg when he was lifted from the car, the whole front of his car was gone with his legs hanging out the open front. Probably could have been a much bigger star in F1 had he not had that accident.Originally posted by Richard.John View PostComment

Very good qualifying session. I'm glad they've left the system alone for a change.Comment

Button should think about going to Williams.
I have a feeling they still have it in them to produce a car good enough for wins like how they did around the past 5 years ago.Comment

I think their days are numbered. It very difficult to turn it around after going from a works team to a customer. We now live in the age of the manufacturers. F1 is now so professional, that it's almost impossible to compete unless you have a half a billion dollar budget and a top driver. Look at Honda and Renault for example. I think Rosberg should consider his options as otherwise he will end up like JB.Comment

****ing-A
What a race. Never really expected that, but as a Mclaren fan I couldn't be happier.
The first few laps were sensational - WHAT a great defensive drive by Hamilton! I was happy but a bit disappointed when Massa ran wide as they were having such an entertaining scrap. Unfortunately Kimi never really emulated it.
Alonso was as consistent as ever, as well. Brilliant stuff!Comment

Yes, the first two corners shaped the whole race, McLaren had that extra bit and were never going to be caught.Comment
-
Decent race, shame the second half didn't live up to the first. Massa showed himself up today, every time we saw him he seemed to be lokcing brakes and going off line. Respect to Hamilton, he really does seem the real deal.Comment
-
Really happy for Mclaren, Hamilton did great fending of the ferrari's.... This is only his 2nd F1 race too! bloody unthinkable.Comment

Yes, Hamilton made Massa look like the rookie. Fernando did what he does best. Glad to see that he's back in the position that he's become accustomed to, at the top of the WDC table. When JB looks at LH it will probably make him cry.
Massa made me laugh.
"Yes, I am surprised at the pace of the McLarens," Massa told reporters. "It just means that we have to work harder to try and stay in front of them."
Felipe, your team is playing catch up if you look at the WDC and WCC standings.Last edited by Richard.John; 08-04-2007, 12:22.Comment
