    Default Formula 1: France *spoiler*

    Ok who saw it....... I'll admit, i like Kimi Raikkonen as a driver but i really sit back and let the drivers prove themselves. I really felt his flinging exhaust was deserving of a forced pit stop. Everyone saw that thing fly of the car when the heat finally melted the sensor but im sure if it had not gone off the road, it could have been worse, it could have fallen onto the track and had a car hit it.

    What does everyone else think?

    P.S. Ace job by Jarno Trulli.

    Here's pix

    I watched it. I thought it was a great race. I'm really surprised on that on Kimi's last pit stop, the Ferrari team didn't do anything about removing that exhaust part. I'm also really surprised that it didn't affect the Ferrari's performance that much.

    Trulli had a really amazing drive. Kudos to him for getting on the podium for the first time in three years. I think Massa deserves a thumbs up for his drive, too.

    I was a little dismayed that Kubica didn't do as well this race. I was really hoping that his win in Canada would give the team more momentum.

    I'm really happy that the WDC is turning into an actual battle. It always makes the series better when there's competition for the titles.

    Well of course I was happy that Massa won, but I'm even happier that Piquet finished in the points and passed a-hole Alonso on the last lap. Seeing a Toyota in the podium was also cool.

    Or the 900 degree part could have flown into a crowd of spectators, lol

    01 Felipe Massa 48
    02 Robert Kubica 46
    03 Kimi Räikkönen 43
    04 Lewis Hamilton 38
    05 Nick Heidfeld 28
    06 Heikki Kovalainen 20
    07 Jarno Trulli 18
    08 Mark Webber 18
    09 Fernando Alonso 10
    10 Nico Rosberg 8

    been fun to watch his rookie mistakes, lke at Montreal,lol. Just Kidding, the kid has incredble drving skills, but I just dont like him.

    Kimi should have had to fix the exhaust, that was some bull****. If that was anyone else, they would have been in the box cutting that **** off. I would love to see Kubica/BMW win it this year.
