Even if he'd made it stick the engine had other ideas...

I enjoyed the race, shame about Bourdais' engine near the end, he'd done well up until then. And Kovy was unlucky with the safety car.

Coulthard was to blame for his incident with Massa, Felipe had every right to try the pass IMO.

Roll on Malaysia

If that's the case then DC has every right to feel aggrieved... I saw it as it happened and commented as above. I'll take a look at the replays when I get home from work   

Kimi's engine was running on 6 cylinders at best, i've never heard an engine sound that deep and rough I think he was having a brain fart day. The Ferrari engines are so tightly run on heating as they have the smallest amount of cooling as it is, and run alongside the high temps of australia it was bound to happen. Shame really as the car had the speed as was evident by how quick he caught glock, and how quickly he dropped rubens.
I cant fault lewis, the safety car always seems to help the guy, poor heikki, one lap later or pitting one lap sooner and he would have been in a very good position for the win. Bourdais, unluckiest man of the race, Nico, did the best job getting that williams on the podium was a thing of beauty.
Here's to next week when we'll really see how good the cars are.


edit***
Heikki, hit the pit lane button which allowed alonso to pass him on that last lap or so. Silly boy.
Massa's pass was legit, he started it properly was alongside properly and as usual DC squeezed a driver onto the grass. Maybe its the shape of his jaw blocking his vision.
And as much as I like to see rubens do well, he should be DQ'd as he left the pits with the red light showing. Last year Massa and Fisi were disqualified from Montreal for that.

Fun wasn't it
