Hamilton must feel like Alonso last year after 5-6 races ,the new guy(Heikki) is faster both in qualifications as in the race.

Has anyone else noticed that points table is lower this year than last year?

07: Alonso 18
Raikkonen 16
Hamilton 14

08: Hamilton 14
Raikkonen 11
Heidfeld 11

And that Hamilton has the same amount of points as he did in 07 as he does this year, yet is 1st not 3rd

It is much more exciting to watch the races with closer point battles. Congrats to BMW. I hope they keep up the good work. Congrats to Kimi on a fine faultless race. Flag:##

Kimi was the best today, and all those people who bashed him for Australia should now look at Hamilton - he couldn't overtake Webber, and he kept missing the braking point pretty much each lap. Gratz for Kovalainen, Kubica and Trulli, great race.
How was i a brake faliure if he was accelerating out of the corner? answers on a post card please.

kimi was the best today and he deserved his bashing for australia.
Did you ever see a failure like that? Do I need to remind you that Kimi's car turned instantly against the wall in Monza 2007 after a black smoke like this?
Kimi's spin was under braking and because of a mechanichal failure, this failure is about adjusting the throttle again, like Massa did in previous race.
Besides we saw that smoke on Hamilton's car and he survived to finish.

we can all agree that for Kimi it was a great day. He is Achilles, and his heel is out braking himself into a corner *cough* Australia *cough*.
Massa is ok but this spinning is really a problem. Brundel put it perfectly. More ambition than adhesion lmao. classic. anyways Massa get a grip you are on the fastest greatest team in the world. Lets not see any more spins i mean not even the rookies are doing it and stop blaming it on the car. stupid idiot, learn to control your foot. We all know Kimi is faster so once your in second be content when it is obvious you won't catch up. Jeez talk about patience huh. All in all a good grand prix.

Felipe Massa added, "On lap 31, I clipped the kerb at the exit to Turn 6 and hit it quite hard and then I lost the rear end going into the next corner. We have to check to see if the impact with the kerb damaged the car. :roll::

didn't Kimi get his leftside tyres onto the grass which help caused the spin?

You know Heiki finished in front of Hamilton because of that pitstop so dont make stupid sentens.

Anyway I think Raikkonen won fair an square and I think Kubica was driving a excellent race. I think Massa is just a s*** driver when he aint got his traction control and I found the race pretty boring.
