I agree, I'll be happy to bet anyone he'll be fighting for pole laps in the next few races like last season. Including 1-2 finishes switching between the pair.

Didn't Webber have a broken chassis or something. Not even sure if he had a cool down lap. I think he pulled off immediately and parked it.

Not sure about the broken bit but he did drive straight into the pitlane exit once he passed the finish line.

Maybe low on fuel?

I thought you had to have enough fuel to get back for scrutineering or you were DQed.

Definitely in Qualy - but not sure about after the race (obviously they usually use that lap to pick up rubber, for the weight limit - so its in the teams interest to have that lap of fuel in anyway......but now Perelli dont pick up the rubber as much as Bridgestone ......)

Seriously, what is Briatore smoking? I want some

On another note, I did love PF1's "Team-Mate wars section", especially -

Jake Humphrey Checklist (per grand prix)
Unnecessary use of word tasty (1 out of 1)
Reference to Eddie Jordan's old team (1 out of 1)
Is there going to be a party, they love a party etc? (1 out of 1)
Reference to EJ's shirt (1 out of 1)
Nearly getting run over (0 out of 1).

Brundle's 'Del Boy' Jewellery versus Coulthard's White Trousers

I can see what he's saying - but it was one race!

Ferrari said they had problems with tyres - who's to say they wont sort this at the next race and win?

I noticed that too.....he also spends an inappropriate amount of time looking at said watch after the moment has passed.

Who on earth needs to look at their watch for 15 seconds to tell what time it is. :confused:

Maybe it is product placement by the watch maker, same as the iPad?

they could, but if its not that you have to out develop your car faster than a team developing them and do it by 1.4 seconds.

ive only ever seen mclaren attempt or come close to that.

still, wouldnt write the season off just yet for them.

It's dreadful. Also, as they have kindly removed the flash full screen option it's also pointless if you only have a 1920x1080 screen as they have also added rubbish to the top and bottom.

GENIUS! :rolleyes:
