What did Simon Lazenby say that he had to apologise for because it maybe caused offence?

He said something like: "In Monaco are such narrow winding roads as Grace Kelly knows all too well"

Oh. :lol: Yeah not the best thing to say on TV, even if people don't have much reason to be offended by it.

Really?

She was the wife of Rainier; mother of the current Prince.

Not a wise thing to say really.

She died in a car crash after going off one of the roads around Monaco.

Kimi was really slow. He was passed by himself too. At least if I should believe MTV3's Oskari Saari. He said in rerun: "Even Räikkönen is now passing Kimi". No wonder, he gets beaten even by himself.

:lol:
Räikkönen is so fast that can lap himself.

Now seriously, this weekend, I can't say if he was slow or not (after the pit-stop), at times the guy was the fastest on track and then the next lap was slower than anybody else by 1 second, and then fastest again... :blink:

Before the pit stop it's easy: he was fast at first and a sleepy snail when the tyres gave up.

Kimi had a strange problem in qualification. He could get front tyre temperature up fast enough. Then when he got, rear tyres had lost their best grip. It doesn't matter so much in the race, but now they were just waiting the rain to start. They should have listened McLaren's team radio.

Raikkonen is not helping his friend:
"We were hoping some of the leaders would be forced to do two stops, but unfortunately Kimi made quite a big gap behind me, so the leaders had clean air after their first stop," said Vettel.

Well Raikkonen needs someone to help him during the races :lol:
