Million dollar garage. :lol:
Congrats Kimi!!!
Mumbly Joe wins in grand style. He was untouchable on lap time today. Michael drove hard, but clearly was outclassed on this afternoon. I thought Kimi might have been 3-stopping, but that wasn't the case. He was just awesome, and the BStones were the clear tire of choice today since Sauber managed to grab 4-5. I think he just nailed the setup b/c he was doing things in the second sector that he shouldn't have been able to do. Anyway, great 2nd win for the Fin, McLaren actually took one this season before BAR. I would never have guessed.
Great 7th WDC for Michael. As he himself noted, it was a pretty lackluster way of clinching, but it'll have to do. He got outrun today. Where the hell did those amazing times from earlier this weekend go? The car was faster on Friday I think, and he stood no chance against Kimi. But 2nd isn't bad considering that abortion of a first lap, and the abysmal first stint he had. It looked like he had it in reverse. Should hopefully win 3 of the last 4. Rubens should win Brazil...I hope.
Great drive for Rubens to come from last to 3rd. He just can't buy a break, but his recovery drive was outstanding, although kinda low-key. Massa also drove well, putting a wheel to Monty. That was some balls going into Eau Rouge side-by-side. Wish he'd gotten a podium, but Rubens kinda deserved it more. Also a good job by Klein. His last stint was fast, and he was showing some of that aggression he showed in Bahrain earlier this year. Maybe a couple seasons from now he'll be ready for the big time. He's gotta get faster though. Zonta had a good run until his Toy let go.
He's better than Da Matta IMO, so people should get off Toyota's case. Alonso would have been challenging for a win if his engine didn't start dropping fluid. He was the only guy running at Kimi's pace. Kimi and Alonso, that's why I rate them both as next best to Michael. They need cars that can compete on a regular basis.
I got a couple complaints. First of all, DC sucks donkey dick. If it's not team orders from McLaren :lol: then I don't know what is. That muppet cost Michael the last chance at a win with that stupid move on Klein. Michael was finally catching Kimi, and then the safety car comes back out and the Michs were just too good on the restarts. Oh well, payback for Silverstone I guess. But it's funny how DC and Spa, I don't know what it is, but he's a friggin hazard here. No congrats from me for what was otherwise a good run. The race steward should have also red flagged and restarted the race. I think it was a mistake only running safety car when you have debris coming out of Eau Rouge and leading into the fastest section of the track. I don't think all Michelin failures are due to shoddy construction. Besides, some drivers got collected in one man's mistake. One red flag might have saved us all the safety cars. The FIA drops the ball again. I can't remember the last time we had a restart. Might have been 02.
Otherwise, the move of the race was from Juan going around Michael through Bus Stop. Very creative and daring. He has a lot of faith in Michael, no matter what he says. He always sticks it in there, no hesitation. Of course, he totally muffed it on Trulli, thus negating all the good stuff up to that point. :lol: Kimi also had a good move on Michael that the camera kinda missed. He set Michael up great going into La Source, you could totally see it coming. Nothing Micahel could really do except hope he could hold him off to Eau Rouge, but Kimi got a great run out of there. That first stint sucked hard. One time Ferrari's strategy backfired. PEACE.
