I just found out that Kubica got disqualified! Damn... he raced pretty good for a for time! What a shame.

What's worse is since Schumi didn't finish, his car wasn't checked for weight which he would have failed as well (seeing how bad his tyres were and seeing that's the reason Kubica didn't make the weigh-in)

Anyhow, other than that it was a great race

PLus, I'm soooooo glad Schumi didn't get to finish the race... to me it was a perfect example of greed.

He knew Alonso was out and that he could at least get 5 points. And sure, I don't blame him for defending, but not like he was doing... it was evident that he could not hold off de la Rosa. Anyhow, serves him well.

the rules say if you finish 90% of the race, you get placed. It's the same for everybody.

that's a lot of if's in there. LOTS of speculation.
Nonetheless, it's a shame to see Schumie just can't do good for some. He narrows a 27point gap to 10 points, has an amazing race, shows that at his age he still has the spirit to battle ... and he's still taking ****
Ok, it wasn't the best move, but you can't blame him for being competitive, it's still a competitive sport isn't it?

It was an unsual but interesting and exciting race. Jenson did deserve to win because he was the only one who kept things smooth and tidy, also he was genuinely quick.

Michael displayed both his ability and his stupidity in one race. De La Rosa sums it up perfectly when asked about the battle he had with Michael, "he was already doing miracles to keep the car on the track and I didn't expect him to battle that hard " from - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER Only drivers with Michael's ability can drive this quickly without going off track with those tyres on the car, but there is absolutely no need for him to battle that hard. He should have let De La Rosa go, and Nick as well, settle for 4th, and take home 5 points instead of 1. People are arguing that Michael should be penalised for not letting De La Rosa through after he retained his position by cutting the corner, but even if Michael received a drive through penality, the 10th placed man is still too far away to catch up.

You're right, Rik. . . Schu commented that his hard style of racing is just the way he is. I suppose he can't or shouldn't change that. If he tried, he probably would not be 7-time WDC. Still, he's made a few more mistakes this year than he usually does.

I'm not optimistic about Schu's chances. Alonso can win Turkey and it's over. Schu does not have great records in China and Brazil.
