It was a pretty good race. If Hamilton would just calm down, he would do so much better. Schumi made a few ppl happy in the fantasy league.

Today was my first time watching a GP2 race. It was pretty cool, but it was not F1.

Ready for the nxt race.

I think 300ft is right on the money, apparently its about 100m from Les Combes down to Stavelot.



Coulthard hates Hamilton?? Hamilton is the BBC's golden can-do-no-wrong boy! (understandably) In Oz we get the BBC commentary, and any Aussie on here will atest to that.

Having said that, I don't think Hamilton did anything wrong and the reprimand reflected that (i.e. no grid penalty).


Great race btw! Really entertaining. Wonder if anyone had Schumacher in their fantasy team??

i switched him to my 2nd team, but i also had alguesari so that evened out any bonus i would get :( My main team has Vettel and Alonso though so they did pretty good.

Anyone know the elevation change at spa,,, just wondering how the 100 or so feet at austin compares to spa. Im guessing spa has about 300ft.

Coulthard didn't see anything wrong with this either, and he's been known to hate Lewis as well.

because maldonado was going wide, Lewis saw the gap and took it. Coulthard didn't see anything wrong with this either, and he's been known to hate Lewis as well.

Go back and watch quali. that was the wet line.

Doesnt matter now.... nice move Hami, i dont think he knew Kobash was there

Nothing wrong with Hamilton passing on the inside of Pastor, it is a competiton after all.

Now with respect to the extra bit after the flag. Ham clearly made a flick to the right when pastor was pulling alongside him as if to say... what... what. Then Pastor clearly came across Ham, prob to make Ham brake hard,,, Pastor was saying I aint scared. Obviously Pastor's move prob didnt come out the way he wanted as I doubt he wanted to hit Ham as he is just as likely to sustain as much damage as he inflicted.

Now lets race.

I really just don't want to hear "woo! That is what I am talking about" one more time over the radio is all. If it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't mind him winning so often.

should be an awesome race!

i know i come off as a Hamilton hater, but how did his move on Pastor not count as impeding or blocking? Pastor was on a flyer, his lap was hurt because Hamilton took away his line onto the start/finish straight.

Yes, Pastor went a little too far right after Q2.. almost thought Kyle Busch was in F1.

ugh feel bad for schumi, the guy cant catch a break. He should get some good points if he doesnt tear the nose off his car comming through traffic.

YYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH SENNA!!

Can't do see Ham and Vet duke it out tomorrow!!!

[Erick]

Senna put an amazing drive down. Kinda wished I kept him on my Fantasy League now o.O

[E-Thirty]

Bet Heidfeld feels like a bitch.
