Speaking of Rubens, I LOVED the way he agressively hounded and eventually passed Ralf. Very nice.

Now if Kimi and JPM would just a a few more of those scraps like they did last year. :-)

Tom,

It could have been a stuff up with the fueling rig ... mistakes happen and if the tyre changing had been a normal one he would have got second.

Mechanics are also human, and I feel for Rubens ... but that is racing.

Remember: Nigel Mansell's wheel coming off in the pit lane and the one that blew at Adelaide ... that cost him a championship (I think).

None of us saw the tires. Maybe they were chunked.

I know I sound like a monday morning QB but when he came into the pits - I said ok , splash and go, then they changed tires and the jack got stuck - wtf - there was only about 10 lps left - tire wear was not an issue. rubens was pissed - glad he got third at least
