Alonso is really the CHAMPION.

hamilton never deserved it (in 2007)

chennai & mumbai(pune) seems better option, as their are many car factories

Kovalainen fined for refuelling breach

Heikki Kovalainen was fined 5,000 euros for a breach of the refuelling regulations during the second part of qualifying for the German Grand Prix.

The McLaren Mercedes driver was penalised by the stewards for a breach of Article 29.2 of the sporting regulations.

A statement read: "Car 23 was refuelled during Q2 using equipment that was not an FIA approved race refuelling system, and therefore the engine should have been stopped during the refuelling process."

Kovalainen's third-placed grid position has not been affected by the penalty.

crap, 5 place penatly on grid wud have been better

Guys, like I said I will miss the 1st hour here now, please post any incidents if happens withing this hour.

1) Lewis running away 0.5sec a lap over Massa.
2) Kimi stuck behing Trulli and losing 2sec's a lap to Lewis.


Max Kimi can get to is 3rd or 4th. And if by any chance, Trulli stays longer, it's race over for Kimi. He will be stuck behing Trulli forever.

Vettel is driving his heart out in there.

Lewis has 10sec lead at the end of 16th lap.

 

[s18000rpm]

what a crap

kimi struggling at 6th after 18 laps

lewis leads by 11seconds to 2nd place massa

 

[desiibond]

Irony is Lewis takes early pit stop on lap 16 and still comes ahead of Kimi. That slow Kimi is due to that stupid Toyota.

 

[Hitboxx]

Hehe thank you for that, power is still on, so still watching it

Lewis on 3 stops?! :O

 

[s18000rpm]

omg!
lewis still ahead of kimi after 1st pitstop

 

[desiibond]

Trulli and Alonso into the pit's. Kimi now has clear track ahead of him

 

[s18000rpm]

*www.formula1.com/services/live_timing/live_timing.html to the rescue

live timing commentary says kimi at p4, but tie chart showing p9

[Hitboxx]

WtH!! It seems all are running 3 stops

maybe except Mark Webber.

 

[s18000rpm]

edit------------------

-=====
wth, why kov. pit again?
or is live timing commentary is fed bya drunk?

 

[desiibond]

Kimi's at P5 now.

Lewis, Massa, Heikki, Kubica, Kimi, Trulli, Vettel, Glock, Alonso.

 

[Hitboxx]

heavy accident for timo glock, surely safety car!!

 

[s18000rpm]

zomg

very big acc. i guess

LOOOOOOOOOOL

almost all in pits

 

[desiibond]

Glock's car has tyre hub failure in start/finish straight. Hits the sidewall at 250kmph.

No injury. Just holding his back, pain caused due to the hit.

Ferrari **** up Kimi's strategy again. They bring Massa and Kimi at the same time when most of the cars came in. Result: He comes out at 14th. He was running 5th before pitstop.

wth, kimi & kov a lap down????????

 

[desiibond]

Massa now has a real chance to win this race because he is in 4th place with Lewis, Heidfeld and Piquet still to pit. All the cars behind Safety car.

Podium is out of reach for Kimi. Massa on the other hand has awesome chance.

Kimi has moved up to 9th place now

Heikki in 6th place.

Lewis is now increasingl lead by 1sec every lap.

 

[s18000rpm]

piquet on one stop strategy. (live timing says)

massa dont screw this up

 

[desiibond]

PS: Live timing on F1 site is totally erraneous
