Re: Narain Clownikeyan is a road Hazard
Woops, I see what you mean, love the comment about Spa :lol: I meant if Karthikeyan manages to write off one of his chassis in the process. I saw his BBC interview talking about other drivers bullying him, have to say he does rather bring it on himself a little, courtesy works both ways, if he does...

Re: Narain Clownikeyan is a road Hazard
I don't care about his incidents with Vettel and Button because neither were his fault-he could not have seen Button coming at him and that was for race position anyway. Vettel cut across him, Karthikeyan was at the edge of the racetrack and it was not in a braking zone, can't see how it can be NK'...

Re: Driver of the day - Malaysia
I chose Perez, although I do agree that he did a mistake or two. Alonso was flawless, but I just chose Perez because everyone loves the underdog!
I have to admit, Senna's position impressed me as well.

Schumacher lost his gearbox after he went mowing the lawn and that put him out of the race in Melbourne. Did he break any rules with that, or is that somehow different..???

Re: Report links Trulli with Massa's Ferrari race seat
My vote goes to Heidfeld. Ferrari will desperately be needing all the points they can get, with Lotus and Mercedes looking to nab 3rd. In my opinion, Quick Nick still has a lot to offer F1. He did a good job at Renault last year, coming in as a replacement to drive a car which wasn't suited to him....
