2011 FORMULA 1 SHELL BELGIAN GRAND PRIX: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

8th. and he got a puncture. he was lapping in the 1:50s in the last stint (Zo was doing 1:52s). not that it matters.

 

Yah... but where was he on the start? He faded the entire race.

 

Hahaha well it was great race...and I have had a good chuckle on here as well...thanks D..

 

Just when I think I have two bottles of Pinot heading my way, the Geezer transforms into into Sea Biscuit.....

 

We live to serve

good point. still wouldn't call it embarrassing though. he could always say he could have finished 5th..

slightly unrelated, I still think that drs thing is so fake.

 

Nailed it. Unfortunately, a VERY predictable race. All of the excitement was from Schumacher, Button and Kobiyashi (not in a good way)

 

Haha I need a Isobel translater app...

Sounds funny tho..

I think you will still get some vino though..

 

He had a puncture which was not his fault. Overall Ferrari was 4th or 5th and Alonso said so. They dont have the pace of Mclaren or RedBull yet.

 

drive of the day:

jenson or michael?

 

+1 yes agreed.

 

Sea Bisquit dead equine. Fast in his day

 

I will just give it JB, as he had to pit for a new wing I think.

 

DRS = Predictable.

 

Aha penny drops..

 

Webber.
Awful start to podium

 

Michael had less to work with, so I choose him.

Jensen definitely had another good drive though. I actually give Webber some credit too, given his Michael Jackson performance at the beginning (part of his pathology as a driver).

 

JB. Had to come up from 19th after the start and the wreck. MS amazing but not as good as JB's.

 

How about Senna LOL Bruno who?? The sooner they get Nick back the better. What a waste.

From the BBC yesterday:" Bruno Senna said he felt he had done justice to his family name after qualifying a superb seventh on his debut for the Renault team." Qualy and the race are 2 different, distinct events. He didnt help the family name in the race much.

 

Don't be too hard on BS
His last chance in F1 and he went all out.
In over his head though.

 

I think those Ferrari cries went away today. WTH was he doing out there? More importantly, how did the Speed crew actually say his finish in 13th (only 3 spots from the back of cars that finished the race) was a good result is beyond me. He started in 7th, and caused a ridiculous accident.

He looked good in quali though.

 

You said it! Race results matter not qualy. All the fawning over him here vs Nick is well....silly. Nick is not MS but he is adjusted to the car and was slightly ahead of Petrov. The team lacks funding and a rookie is supposed to be better LOL! Yea that makes soooooooooooooo much sense.

Nick and his legal action are vindicated big time. So Renault, lets get back to reality and put Nick in the seat and keep racing. Senna needs ALOT more time with the car in testing before jumping in...way over his head, to realistically show results.
