Montoya had that race under control only to have it all undermined by that idiotic process. I think they should race back to the line, fall into line behind the pace car, and then pit if they wish. There should be no racing in the pits ie the order they cross the S/F line when the yellow starts should be the order they stay in. The only way to make up positions is by not pitting. Montoya was robbed.

Webber's stock dropped even more. A good driver in that car/circumstance gets 3rd - unfortunately Webber doesn't qualify as a "good" driver atm. He's just not measuring up and handling the pressure at all so far. If it's not bad luck then it's bad driving. I don't think Webber has had a race that anyone, including himself, would be satisfied with this year. The clock's ticking Webber! He needs to do something impressive soon or Frank will be looking for more than new engine suppliers.

Crrrrrraaaap! IMHO :lol:

Mate, your just not up with this whole aussie thing are you. Just a reminder: you cheer them on, like the underdogs they are, all the way to the top! Then you slag them off for being there. How can you have a tall poppy if you wont even let it grow?
Ok, Lewis may win the WDC in 07, but Sato will beat him in 08.

The bush next door runs into national park, 38 days of forced march( with due consideration to the dogs, the kids are super fit) and we are out of New South Wales, without stepping on to a road :lol:

Sort of!

But I guess it reminds people that we are serious about not allowing politics/religion to creep into these forums.
