Great race. I was surprised by Kimi's lack of pace until after the race when it was disclosed that his wing was damaged. Our commentators didn't seem to realize that had happened and neither did I. I hope he improves at qualifying. If he starts on the front row he seems almost unbeatable.

Very interesting race I think. Some good overtakings, especially by Kovalainen. I was a bit surprised that Massa didn't fight back as Hamilton made it so easy to overtake him. Maybe he knew that Hamilton had 3 stops strategy...

BMW team must be proud of what they`re doing this season, after 5 races Kubica is only 11 points behind the championship leader, 2nd place in constructors, i`m sure nobody in the team would bet on that in winter testing.
your right,, but i wanted to see them fighting with mclaren

Yeah..they only put that cam ahead of Williams' garage...there is no thermal cam ahead of another team's garage...
so that's the only footage of the thermal cam from the race...
I'm so surprised by that camera view..brilliant cam

Yes Kovy decided to f**k any chance of a win by holding up Kimi. :roll::
McLaren have said multiple times that they are equal which they are. Look at the Senna and Prost days.

I hope the thermal cam stays, its interesting to see the heat.

Yea, the thermal camera is a quite nice innovation. Would be cool to see it in the coming races.

I also wouldn't be myself if i didn't praise my favourite (Robert Kubica) for a very good start (from 5th to 3rd on one turn !). Maybe later not everything went that well (one position lost on the pitstop), but whatever.. :thumbsup:

Yeah he certainly did a good race, especially if you compare it to his teammate.

Kimi still has to find his best form, he's close to it now but once in a while he gets owned by Massa. I'm quite optimistic he'll win more than Massa in the more difficult tracks, but I think Hamilton will improve and it's going to get better.
