I was agreeing with Craig on the fact Lewis got lucky due to Massa stalling, not the cause... As for the track comparisons, if Autosport are right (They mostly are, but DO get it wrong sometimes.. Wink

) then we're in for a cracker for the remainder of the season.

I for one would like to see Lewis win the championship, being a "rookie" and all that, and McLaren are my local team, 30 mins drive to the Paragon complex.

I do like good driving/racing though and Kimi deserved the win today.

Better go and steal some more Ferrari secrets...

(oooh I hate this - I've never been a McLaren fan (being a child of the 1980s/90s =

fan, then Damon, hence Williams*), but seeing as Lewis is doing so well...)

*I'll forgive our Nige his two year defection to Maranello... Wink

Don't forget our Nige drove for McLaren in '95... is that forgivable? Wink

I give him the benefit of the doubt, and say he "retired" (from F1) in 1992! I think using the word "drove" is a bit over generous too, as he only appeared (shoehorned) into the McLaren at a couple of races*... Cheesy

*blimey, checking the stats, he finished one of the races, San Marino, albeit 4 places out of the points in 10th!

That '95 McLaren was truly awful. Remember the extra wing above the air intake? Some may argue it was ahead of it's time but it didn't work back then...
No wonder he walked after a few races Tongue

P.S. Didn't he win the Australian GP for Williams in his "retirement" Wink

So he did... I'd completely forgotten he'd ever gone back to them - I wonder why they brought him back - put a bit more pressure on Schumi and give Damon a more experienced team mate I suppose.
