Yeah, great scheduling from the bbc on the motogp. Show the re-run at the same time the F1 starts.

Thanks for filling in the blanks chaps!

I think someone else has already mentioned previously in this thread, but Massa is great when he's out front on his own, but put him in the pack he's average, he's just not a social driver. He's been making mistake left-right-and-centre following his relegation to the rear of the pack.

Notice the lollipop man at Raikkonen's stop? The end of the race should be great now the safety car is out.

[Paulos G]

This is gonna be fun!

Not two minutes after my last post Massa proves my point

[PeteJ]

Massa is unstopable when things go his way, but anything goes wrong and he falls to pieces. He doesn't seem to have any fight in him.

Enjoyed the race but I think there will be many dull races there in future. If it wasn't for the first safety car it would have been fairly uninspiring. They should randomly turn off the lights or something to make it more interesting

The Ferrari light system has to go as it could cost them the titles. The muppet that is Kimi needs to go too.

Make them race in the dark with night vision goggles!

Kimi used to be amazing. Not sure what's happened to him, or why Ferrari have re-signed him.

Brilliant race that, though I agree that it would have been a procession if it wasn't for the ever-unreliable Piquet!

[Richard.John]

Maybe they had no choice? That's what has been suggested in the last few weeks. Fernando proved his worth imo. He is stellar and showed it. Ferrari would be silly if they pass on him.

[cutmymilk]

Yes, I agree. Alonso and Kubica at Ferrari would be the current F1 dream team, IMO.

To be fair he came out dead last after his incident, and then received a penalty, and then had to refuel again which left him way too far from the points position, he would have lost nearly all his motivation after dominatng the early part of the race. Ferrari have been a disaster this year to be honest, so many issues with this system, poor strategy, unreliability and fuelling problems in Canada. Massa has been an unlucky guy this year, he's lost 20+ points alone through 2 certain victories which also let Hamilton get higher points positions in Hungary and this race...

I hope Massa is the champion this year but Ferrari lose the constructors chamionship as they have been terrible and may have lost Massas title hopes.

Exciting race today, I liked it. I was jumping about like a nutter when Massa dragged the fuel pipe out. Was hilarious. Brilliant result for Lewis, +6 points over Massa so now leads by 7.

Kimi and Massa both bottled it which was great and as much as I don't like Alonso, well done to him, great race. And good to see DC on the points too although should have been higher.

Sure if Hamilton hadn't been British Crasher Coulthard would have taken him out when he overtook up the inside.
