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.

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'...

I have to admit, Senna's position impressed me as well.

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....
