Freakin awesome race! I bet Hamilton feels real dumb, I thought it was funny as shit that he ran in the back of Kovelinen, serves him right for taking out sutil at monaco.

I feel bad for Kimi... I always pull for him and Kubica. Hamilton must have belt like $hit... apparent by him brushing Kimi off and shoving the camera out of his face.

Glad to see Kubica #1 in the standings... BMW is almost there too :D

BMW is second in constructors by 3 pts.

Kubica is in first in drivers pts by 6-8 IIRC.

I missed the first half due to looking at new dishwashers and I come home to a 1,2 BMW finish. This has been a damn good day.

3 points off of Ferrari and, what, 17 points ahead of Mc-Merc. Lets see how the FGP turns out on the 22nd.

word! i havnt been this happy since JPM took 2nd back in 2004

Don't let anyone tell you Kubica's win was the result (solely) of Hamilton's faux pas. He had the best position coming out of the pit lane and he and Kimi were both in front of Lewis - Kubica could have won this race just the same had those two stayed in it. Not saying it would be for certain - but its not like his win is a fluke.

How about Massa's pass there towards the end overtaking two cars at once who were discing themselves!!!

[Hick]

Well actually Dave a course marshal would of waved Kimi by Kubic behind the pace car, they would not of left it to a drag race. Kimi was in the pound seat after those stops. Poor Massa had to come in for another stop, he would of had 3rd IMO.

Good on Kubica, im very happy to see that he has won a race!

Hamilton and Rosberg to get 10 position grid penalty in france.

Wow dude, I just read the review. I'd love to watch the race... gotta see if Speed will play the race again.

[r75]

Certainly Kubica's win was no fluke, well deserved, but what about DC's third?! great chaos in Montreal/

Tune into SpeedTV this Wednesday for the replay. I think its 12:30PM EST (9:30AM PST) if memory serves me correct. Check your listings just to be sure. Definately a race worth watching!

And just a side note - I'd like to give a big ol' shout out to Bernie Eccelstone with a king sized STFU!!! He says the North American market lacks F1 fans. This weekends' race was completely sold out. Estimates are 300K people came to watch Fri./Sat./Sun. Go blow Max, Bernie

Who said that? The announcers today said that NA should get an event because all of the sponsors have HUGE audiences here and thats where they make their money. F1 fans not in north america.....bunch of bullshit.

[Hick]

part of me dosent want it to become a popular sport in america. look at how much was cut out from the broadcast at just this event?

[e30pwr]

I think if it hits mainstream and becomes like a Nascar race and ABC or NBC or somebody picks it up it won't be that bad. Hell look at Nascar, qualifing on SPEED and then the races on ABC. Then you've got the Speed's analytical programs before and after the race, it looks promising but who knows.

[Jean]

Lol, what a dumb move.

[NC325iC]

THANK YOU LEWIS HAMILTON

that was awesome WOOOOO!!!

0 post race
