Kimi put on his usual excellent race and Michael checked in for a few laps, other than that... boring boring boring

Still, have to admit that Jay Vee called it :roll:

and I didn't :oops:

See my 8 n pole note for my new, reformed, take on the season.

:alright: Jim. It takes a few times watching Alonso The Cute until you reialise he is the best out there.

I know many who are saying Kimi would have won if he wasn't penalised :blah2:

Well check this, Alonso's fastest lap was 1:16.502 on lap 5, Raikkonen's fastest lap was 1:16.423 on lap 25

Alonso was far far heavier yet was under a tenth slower. He didn't need to push !!!

Oh so much posts, so little time .... :(
What lap did kimi pit ? lap 24 ?
