sweet glad to hear F1 races are worth the money. Webber is now in Loushis Liz. But were not mad at Lewis for passing the safty car but the FIA for not acting on it. Also Senna is out at HRT for lack of sponsership. Test driver Sakon Yamamoto in for now.
If Senna cant race let Kline race.

 

Neato. An already slow HRT now driven by a test driver. I can't help but think back to last year and Luca Badoer giving point-bys... and that was in the Ferarri.

Reminds me of Webber's win (his first) after serving a drive thru penalty. This just in: fast cars are fast!

 

Well, it was a stupid move on Webbers part... if he was coming up on a slower car he should have expected that car not to see him right away and waited for a better place to pass... but I wouldn't say it's completely his fault. If you look really close at the video it looks like Kovalinin hit the brakes early and started moving over for Webber right about the same time Webber started moving to go outside and go around him. Webber clearly wasn't expecting him to brake that early and change direction and he had to try and go back to the other side and simply didn't have enough time to react.

Any good driver knows, it is the faster cars responsibility to safely pass the slower car. The slower car is supposed to hold their line and not make sudden changes. Same shit that happened in the 24hr Lemans when one of the prototypes tried to pass a GT2 car (ferrari if I remember right). The slower guy saw him at the last second and tried to get out of the way when the other guy was already committed. These are professional drivers out there. Kovalinin should have known better.

 

That was the number 9 R15 trying to pass the BMW art car.

 

UPDATE- Senna is in for the rest of the season. HRT wanted to give Sakon Yamamoto "seat time" and get money from his sponsers. now the question loom does Chandok have the money to save his seat for the rest of the season. The press say he does not.

 

NO one is faulting Hamilton for scoring points the issue is that he PASSED THE SAFETY CAR w/o enduring a penalty that would keep someone from doing the same unsafe move in the future. You have to make the penalty fit the crime.

Webber is completely at fault for the accident but get over it, we are already starting the next race....


Glad to see the Prancing Horse coming back to life!

 

Prancing horse back to life yes but still not as good as Red Bull or Mclaren. Somthing is missing they have the speed and the drivers but its thier still coming up short.

 

^ yeah, and the race was bad for them...oh well. Nice to see Webber come back from that crash and win the next race.

 

pissed that Vettel didnt win. But Webber won. The team got a win thats all I can say.As far as the new track great race alot of good racing. They really did a good job on it.

 

Bruno Senna will be back in the HRT at the German GP, but Sakon Yamamoto will be in the other car as Karun Chandhok has been asked to step down.
