    Finnish press have been asking questions regarding it for a few days, and only now they (FIA I think) came and said that the footage was deleted. Hmmm.

    Brundle called it straight away, btw, that it looks as though Kimi got a tap.

    I still maintain the incident made no sense, wheelspin fine, the car gets away slower, but the jerk to the left is absolutely not normal unless one of the following happened:

    -Flat tire
    -Broken driveshaft
    -diff sending all power to one side (i.e. diff (software) failure)
    -hit...

    No. Ron would hire somebody like Nigel Pevney to put some crud in the gas tank when nobody was looking. ;)

    I loved those fins. What was the reason for banning them? A finn with a fin

    Kimi got blown in to the weeds today by serb . Kimi should have placed 4 but he end up a lap down in 10 laps of racing. If kimi didn't have that Schumi developed car in 07 he would be a zero would champ . The man should tell ferrari to pay half my pay and I will retire and put hulk in the car . Your failure is now complete clown hack lawyer

    He took a gamble on the time to change to inters and just got it wrong (too early) - not a lot you can do in that situation as ones of the first to pit and you discover you're on the wrong tires. Vettel had Raikkonen's pace on inters for his engineers to help make the correctly timed call, so out was easier for him to judge it. The dry burned away Raikkonen's inters until they looked like slicks when he pitted in the downpour to change them.

    Unfortunate and costly, but it wasn't due to an unforgivable blunder on the part of either Raikkonen or his engineers.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    An unforced error.

    If his position with the team was more secure I don't think he would have made that gamble.

    Voices of Grosjean at Ferrari? No thanks. Long live the Kimster.

    Some of the grid rate him highly. IMO he is an underrated driver and might be able to be up for a surprise, given a decent car.

    He was better than Vettel throughout the weekend. Shame some can't look through their blinders.

    I think he is the most average driver on the grid. Probably that's what makes him a contender as Ferrari's second driver.

    kimi was doing better than vettel throughout the weekend but he himself made the terrible call so its all his fault unfortunately. Time for him to go.

    He seems to have speed and a way to integrate into the team. A team player. Id like to see Grosjean in a faster car. We wont know how 'good' he is until then assuming his chance is given.

    Checo was the great savior and has done nothing. Bottas is not as aggressive as he should be and is by no means parking Massa. Ricci is so depressed its hard to gauge him.
