F1 2007

Yep, quite a good race by the first five. Good to see that BMW can play with the big ones too - nice takeover by Heidfeld.

IMHO the best was though Couldhart - going from 21 to 7 in a Red Bull isn't to expect - just sad it couldn't hold.

[Cort Haus]

Yep. Good drives from Heidfeld and DC. Funny to see Renault struggling though - and great to see that odious toad Briatore suffering.

[BlackCat]

Deja vu in spain. Though, wonder what kind of doping Coulthart is on

[LordShiva]

Massa

(despite a pit-stop fire)

[Cort Haus]

Hamilton is teh DWC leader though

I took great pleasure in seeing Alonso beaten at home by both Massa and Hamilton. His sour, sulky face at the end was priceless. ITV ran a piece on Alsono, with endless Spanish fans w@nking off over him and all saying he's the best in the world. Except that maybe he's not even the best driver in McLaren.

Spain wasn't remotely interested in open wheel single seaters before Alonso's success, and now they get 2 Grand Prix. Except ... "hey Berni, quick, cancel Valencia, the Spanish aren't winning anymore!".

Apologies to any genuine (non glory-hunting) Spanish race fans, but as other clubs like to taunt the Chelsea fans these days ... "Where were you when you were shÃt?".

Wow, and this? you maybe have some inferiority complex havent you? Obviously the purest envy also becuase Spain is getting two GPS while Silverstone is near to the abysm. And then if al that is not enough, heavy sour grapes too, since I bet you were UNTIL this year a Kimi fanatic... What a pity, I am really sorry for you.

Well all that frustation is comprehensible, a country so interested and involved in F1 and with soooo few good drivers in last 20-30 years, you must be REALLY needed. But that must not be an excuse. A bit of soberness please, it results embarrasing.

In any case you should give all thanks to Massa for your poor happiness. Hamilton did what he was supossed to do, and the only one passed today by him was Raikkonen IIRC. Also, while i find Lewis amazing, the British fans and press in general are going too crazy (even for UK standards). Maybe they should calm down and leave Lewis some room or you and your nervousness could end putting too much pressure on the guy too soon and at the end of the year your sour grapes would be even sourer... again.

I wonder, should i write now a super-pathetic little post as the one from our bitter English friend here? Or should we better speak about the race?

Well, lets go with the race better:

A flawless Alonso makes a hat trick and schooled Hamilton in all aspects with a perfect driving. Not much to add here. He was the Fastest and above all the most consistent driver there, flew away from Hamy when he wanted and when it was needed, in total control of the situation. Nothing unexpected however.

Hamilton very fast and very lucky too, driving beyond his limits trying to catch FA, with lots of barrier touching and errors which normally should have cost him the race, only the fact he was able to finish it speaks lots about his amazing hands. I think Ron should calm down this guy. Maybe he is supporting too much pressure?

I would say that Massa did the best he and his car could. I am sorry about Raikkonen but it seems he is not at the required level to drive a Ferrari right now.

Very good job of Fisi in contrast with Kovalainen (again)

McLaren several steps ahead of the rest Lapping everybody else, but i think Ferrari is much better than they showed today, and we will see it in the next couple of races.

Monaco GP can be heaven and it can be hell, as in super entertaining and super boring. While this one wasn't exactly hell, purgatory might describe it.

[BlackCat]

Kubica have just had a serious crash. First a fly, then head on into a concrete barrier, then spinning in the air across the lane to hit the barrier on the other side.

No news about his condition yet.

[BlackCat]

Nothing broken and consious.

[Saras]

First stable, then conscious, now "fine"

Lap 43: Kubica's manager says he has spoken to the BMW Sauber driver and he appears to be fine - a huge relief after such a massive accident. The Pole has been taken to Montreal general hospital for further check-ups.

Just heard that he has broken a leg - cheap considering.

[BlackCat]

Typical canuck - totally crazy

4 SC's.
Kubicas flight.
Liuzzi three times in the barrier before he manages to crash the car.
Two black flags for not stopping for red light in pit.
Trulli smashing his car under SC
Sato passing Alonso in the last laps
Wurtz from 16 to 3 on a 1 pit.

Great race

Oh, and well done by Hamilton.

[Thorgal]

Wow, craziest race ever

HL: Simply perfect.
Wurz and Heidfeld: Perfect also.
Alonso: Boooo, errors, bad luck and tyre problems.
Raikkonen: Mediocre.
Sato:

Main protagonist: Safety cars of course. Massa, Rosberg, Fisi and Alonso must be very angry with new stupid rules.

BTW it seems Kubica has a broken leg. Glad of seeing him alive at least.

[Ninot]

I was at the race today. Amazing good time.

I was at the turn that Kubica had his accident at too. Never seen anything like it in my life.

Wow, those cars really go fast don't they?
