Grand Prix Rejects

Impressive drive from Glock. He did well today. But on the whole, none of the drama for which I had been hoping.

I keep getting an echo, I just read the same thing on gallifrey base!

No fun without Nelson Piquet Jr...it's sad

Am I the only one mildly amused by now Alonso dropped the unspeakable "F" word in the post-race press conference?

By that I mean, how he dedicated his 3rd place to Flavio!

But seriously, what a dull race. Ultimately a triumph of consistency - the three guys who had the most consistent weekends on the podium, all the other contenders proving to be no more than pretenders thanks to errors or problems of one kind or another.

BTW, although it made no ultimate difference due to Mark's brake failure, forcing him to let Glock and Alonso past early on was absolute rubbish IMHO. Can't see how it was any different to Raikkonen going wide at La Source on lap one at Spa. If anything, Raikkonen used it as a deliberate tactic; here Webber was given no room by Alonso (who himself ended up on the wrong side of the kerb) and was pushed out wide.

Plus the reason Webber got by on exit, it because Alonso was too busy dealing with his own oversteer problems. So it was really his own fault it happened, rather than Webber taking what was really a "long-cut".

Agreed.

I was shocked that he did. I'm even more shocked that the FIA hasn't launched a campaign against him yet!

They can't, because it could possibly cause Ferrari damage...
