    Next you have humble Robert Kubica, probably the nicest guy in the field.

    Massa did a fantastic job getting poll and then finishing 3rd in what was really a lotto was fine by me. he is looking more and more like a #1 lately. Massa also lost his radio for 40 laps so he didnt know what was going on. His radio problem caused him to stay out too long.

    +1. First brit to win in 39 years.

    Classy, smart interview by Massa. Reinforces that this was a TEAM problem...

    with all due respect, he is to blame :)

    i think he was too aggressive, low tyre pressure ( after SC period that lap ), worned out tyres, he's rear drifted out a lil, to the dirt possibly, losing the car.

    He's easily the most arrogant driver in the field. He thinks he is the next Schumacher/Senna, he needs to stop drinking the Kool-aid.
    Yet I would still put Raikkonen, Alonso, and now Kubica ahead him in driving ability.

    Like I said, one of the two most polarizing guys on this board. He drove an excellent race and deserves to be proud of his results. Really, I didn't find him to be overbearing or condescending in his remarks.

    I'm glad FM put the blame on his race strategy. He get's called out for his mistakes, Baldiserri should have to take some for his strategic gaffe's in this one. Had they stuck with the 2-stop strategy in intermittent conditions, Felipe would at least have taken second.

    Totally agree - obviously they didn't hear the last of Lewis' interview - he's always thankful to everyone - something not often heard from others

    Felipe did exceptional without having radio contact

    50% Road's fault
    45% Raikkonen fault

    I don't think he mentioned it as a problem. Just unlucky, strategy didn't work.

    I saw that. It'll be interesting to see who replaces him, probably Rijkaard.
    Grant came in 2nd in EPL, 2nd in CL, and 2nd in Carling Cup and still gets the boot. Abramovich has some pretty high standards :rolleyes:

    Not agree. I want Kimi´s guts in a dish. Poor Sutil.

    I hope he´ll do something to redeem himself in the next races.
