^ Even being a BMW-Sauber fan, I don't see how that one was Vettel's fault. It was a poorly executed move by both drivers, but it looked like Kubi was trying to force him off track IMO.

bit of a boring race. good outcome for RBR.. Brawn is not invincible!!

[Hick]

Wish RBR would of kept Vettel on a 2 stopper. i think he had a [slim] chance to overtake Button.

Good on Webber, i really want to see him win a race.

[hugh jass]

fucking tivo. i sat down to watch the race after a long day of working on my house yesterday and forgot it was on faux. oh, well. doesn't sound like i missed much.
i can't believe how far mcmerc and ferrari have fallen in less than a year.

[Hick]

Hehehe, they wanted to make sure he didn't take out Webber trying to get to Button!!

yeah . . . right.

His tires were beyond gone and in the aftermath called himself an idiot. That was Kubi's fault.

It was both of their faults for the last time, it was a dumbass place to overtake by Kubica and a bad defensive move for Vettel. Regardless Kubica has done nothing this year but complain so I have lost a lot of respect for him. I was always a Heidfeld fan anyway :P

[Hick]

Ba! Kubica was right to make that move, he was going fast enough to catch Button.

Heidfeld will be out of a job after this year.

[YAN-3]

Heidfeld will be out of a job after this year.

:stupid: I have the same feeling.

[E30Kaiser]

I don't know, I would think Kubica would get the axe if anyone, he has been saying stupid things in the press and hasn't performed at all this year. A safe bet is that Piquet is gone though hahaha.

I'm gonna second this. I think Heidfeld is probably secure, he's been with the team forever. Kubica has been openly vocal, and will probably go somewhere else.

And hey, Jacques Fucking Villeneuve is back on the market too.

ahaha JV said recently that there was not enough 'hate' in formula one these days.

Kubica is a better driver than Heidfeld hands down. the lack of pace this season is down to the car... dont forget how well kubica did at the first race this season.

Meh, he might have been solid in the first half of 2008, but Kubica's performance fell off from then on. Heidfeld is a much easier driver to market the team, remember back in 2000 when BMW signed up with Williams saying that at least one driver (R. Schumacher) had to be a German. Like Kaiser mentioned, Kubica has been a LOT more vocal lately about his displeasure with the car/team. In terms of performance, the two drivers (Kubi and Heidfeld) are damn near equal in my book. One has potential but is growing tired of the car/team/etc. and the other has 10+ years in Formula One and has been a team player since joining in 2005.

I'm probably biased, and I'll admit to cheering Kubi during the 2008 season, but once he started to get vocal he lost my support.

[z31maniac]

Piquet will be lucky to make the rest of the season. I never understood why he got the drive in the first place (name aside).

Curious to see the list published on the 12th.
