It makes a pefect logic to switch now. Senna is young and has a whole country following him... I doubt very much Germany is as keen to see heidfeld drive as brazil is senna. With the german gp over, why not make the switch. Senna gets some seat time to adjust to the car so he can make a good showing at the end of the year in Brazil.

Heidfeld has no real future at renault, senna may, and if not at renault they could possibly sell him to another team.

What really sucks is that this almost certainly means no Kubica this year, which I already kinda knew, but hoped he would return.

I bet Renault would kick Senna out the door in a heartbeat if Kubica came back to drive.

hmm I'm going to go ahead and not take practice laps into consideration for the weekend.

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.

Bet Heidfeld feels like a bitch.

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

[Heysüß]

YYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH SENNA!!

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

[naplesE30]

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.

[Hick]

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.

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.

[Heysüß]

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.

[naplesE30]

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.

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

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??
