Thanks, I didn't see the interviews :)

I disagree, he was still in 8th place until his car nearly gave out, he did very well to coax it back too life and finish where he did. The monumental cock up with the tyres in China and engine problems in this race is what cost him.

Always next year - no doubt he can drive and has had a great season

:cleader: Fantastic result, Great job by Kimi and the team :cleader:

Lewis showed his inexperience as a rookie in the last couple of races, alongside some unreliability from the so far rock solid car. He will be WDC plenty of times in the future.

ITV :sick: coverage and the commentary was shocking. They are meant to keep a certain professional standard, and verbally willing cars to crash on the track is not it! I'm surprised they didn't start to cry at the end.

As has been said before FIA = Ferrari International Assistant

I really like the logic there; Some-one posses your classified documents and uses them to their advantage and you get punished for it.

Do I sense a sore looser here :D

Something to do with the temperature of the fuel samples? :confused:

Re: Formula 1 Talk 2007 Season

Here we go again, watching a minor irregularity getting blown out of all proportions.

I think the temp was slightly high.

If any point deductions happens (by no mean a certainty), then precedence points towards team only.

Edit: Seems like the temperature in the BMW's was 12 degrees lower that ambient and that in Williams was 14 degrees lower.
I think the rules say it can only be 10 degrees lower.

His 'run off' was not into a gravel trap or anything similar,I don't it could have affected his car in any way.

Re: Formula 1 Talk 2007 Season

Whilst I have always been patriotic in f1 with teams and drivers this does seem a little 'too' convenient to me, why is Nakajima who finished 10th in the other Williams not under investigation?

6.6 Fuel sampling:
6.6.1 Competitors must ensure that a one litre sample of fuel may be taken from the car at any time during the Event.

I'm guessing the colder the fuel it is, the more dense it is which enhances performance. The principles applies to air intakes anyway.

I was reminded of this today. If you can't watch it for two minutes without laughing you're insane allegedly :)

Re: Formula 1 Talk 2007 Season

the temp of the fuels were stored more than 10 degrease lower than the ambient temperature. Fuel has a higher density at lower temps.
Poss explanation could be that ambient temp was higher than expected.
