Nice edit!

Could I have those headlights textures??

Quote from tristancliffe :

@ Alias - I think you are being naive believing that Kimi was making consious decisions about where to crash. His main aim, which would be a subconcious self-defence mechanism, would be to keep the car out of the wall. Walls are bad, and end your race. He achieved that with REMARKABLE car control.

His second aim, again subconcious, as there is no time to way up the pros and cons of given results, would be to avoid hitting Sutil, either by going around him, or slowing the car sufficiently to not get there in the first place. He tried to slow (I'd love to see how much he slowed the car, but it was a LOT), and he appeared to be sort of aiming for the inside line, in the hope he'd shoot past before Sutil turned in.

As we have seen from a previous post, Sutil was having a moment of his own, and was effectively turning in early (albeit on opposite lock), therefore leaving Kimis subconcious escape route down the inside more blocked than he'd hoped.

Of course, he'd have got Sutil regardless, because the corner was too close. Had he hit the wall he'd have taken Sutil out too (most probably), and we'd then be moaning about lack of car control too, which we can't at the moment (notwithstanding the initial error of judgement).

In short, once Kimi lost grip, he was going to hit Sutil one way or another, and I'm impressed how well he recovered the situation such that the Ferrari was able to continue, and the Force India nearly survived - the lack of diffuser wouldn't have ended his race, but the suspension damage did.

Just don't assume that Kimi had time to sit and think about what was happening. It's all reaction based...

AMEN!

He has to risk it, nothing to lose.

lol wtf. Dry tires?!

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Maybe. But that incident was ~ 5 laps before the puncture. Things happen sooo fast!

Heidfield blew the tire because of the incident with Alonso. He went over Alonso's front wing.

Quote from Gil07 :

What's up with Heidfield's car?

Rear left tire blown.

Awesome pass at Mirabeau. Desperate try in Loewe, gotta be frustrating to run 5 secs slower... lol

It's not raining but the track is wet.

It would be just stupid and very dangerous to ban them...

Hamilton must be pissed seeing how Kovalainen got infront of him. Good lap for Massa, Kimi... Don't know. lol

Thought i'd add a pic

Just got it, gonna play

Yeah they're bright.

Kovalainen already left the hospital.

Here is a pic of Kubica's crash. You can clearly see his feet sticking out. (What is pulling with his hand btw?)

The new aero rules and slicks should help everywhere, and that monstrosity of a circuit is locked in with a rather long contract, which will look silly when Alonsomania dies out.

That won't happen any time soon, trust me..

Quote from Hyperactive :

Fichesilla 9th

He said Sato not FiSICHElla.

Quote from Gil07 :

Sato 9th

Say what?

Aaah, not fair for him...

His legs (or at least the left one) didn't look really good.

Alonso has already said it a few times. His aim is to finish 6th or 7th. The car can't do any better.
