Petrov did get a five place penalty, at least there's consistency.

If the stewards deemed Schumacher was in the wrong with all they have fair enough. I can understand why the incident happened though as Schumacher thought Senna was coming to the left.

I think Schumacher just underestimated how early Senna was braking due to his shot tyres.

:lol: Who can say they predicted Maldonado? Even after qualifying people weren't really talking about him for the win.

I thought he looked quick on Friday, but I thought he'd be in the points. Tipped him for Monaco but not here :lol:

Thanks!
The 7th picture of the gallery is really touching, with the HRT and Caterham guys trying to suffocate the fire.
The night of the Lotus' fire, it was the Red Bull guys who got into the burning building to save the drivers equipment and, today, everybody jumped to help again. Those things make me very sensitive :blush:

So apparently from what i´ve already read here, Michael Schumacher, a eight time world champion, the man who has all F1 records, and is still driving with 43 years (and with some decent races this year, unfortunately he has been really unlucky, not this time that it was his fault i agree) is s***. Seems legit.

Wonderful race. More competitive, crazy, exciting F1 season i´ve seen so far. Maldonado won :blink: I still just can´t believe it. I think it´s impressive to see that there are a Williams than a Ferrari-Lotus-Lotus who had the pace to fight for the victory and than the difference for the fifth is... close to 1 minute :blink:. McLaren and RedBull´s fighting for the 7th place unbelievable.

So amazing race from Maldonado and Alonso (10/10), Hamilton 9/10 and Kimi in the last part of the race with an amazing pace. Oh and Massa... :lol:.Alonso right in front of him fighting for the his 2nd victory in the year, leading the championship, and Felipe LAPPED only in front of the Caterhams, Marussias again. Ivan Capelli would do a better job. Even Maria de Villota I think. 59 points is the difference between the two Ferrari drivers after 5 races still 15 left. Looking forward to see how big the difference will be at the end of the season.
Q. And what did you tell the Finnish viewers just now?

KR: It's Mothers' Day in Finland.

Q. So Happy Mothers' Day?

KR: Yeah. I had nothing else to say to Finnish viewers.
Hilarious :lol:. Typical Kimi Raikkonen.
