OMG worst luck for Button ever!

 

[Kylehnat]

Button blows up on the last corner!

 

[Dougboy]

OMG button's engine on fire just in front of the finish line that thing looked like a jet engine on afterburners

 

[Omnis]

LMFAO!!!!!!! BUTTON, HAHAHAHA!

That was the best blowup EVER.

 

[Brett]

And it was a great blowup too! It went KABLAMO!!!

 

[kirkis9]

you did go button, were all proud, even if god does hate you.

 

[Omnis]

Hahaha, everyone posted it at the same time.

Scott Speed finishes 8th for 1 championship point. 👍

 

[dougiemeats]

A point for Scott Speed!

 

[kirkis9]

on the brighter side, scott moves up to points range in 8th place. great day for renault too!

 

[Solid Lifters]

I like the drift Fisi did in Button's oil. Best moment of this ridiculous race. 👍

Maybe now Flavio will get off his ass. He was yelling at Fisi in the last ten laps according to ITV.

Three more weeks until a REAL F1 race...

 

[Elegy]

Poor, poor Jenson. At least he won't get penalized for changing the engine.

 

[ND4SPD]

ecu damgage? It didnt apear that he jerked it to hardon the curb. but the undercarrige is like tin-foil. anything goes.

Something about that didn't sound to right to me.

 

[Dougboy]

great day for renault, bad day for mclaren. Given 2 more 3 more laps, kimi would have caught up to alonso

and the stupid thing alonso does with his hands really annoy me Trying to immitate a bull fighter? whatever.....

Things like this happening in racing, all part of the fun.

Alonso was backing off...

The Bull Fighting thing is swinging his hips on the podium. It has nothing to do with his hands.

 

[Elegy]

And so it was that Scott Speed picks up his first point, and the first for Scuderia Toro Rosso. And he held off David Coulthard to get it. Not a bad bit of driving for the new blood. 👍

 

[Brett]

All of the restarts and Button hurt Kimi's race. Being behind slower traffic slowed him a lot, especially since Alonso had a lot of wide open track.

 

[Dougboy]

he was standing on his car with his fingers as horns pretending to be a bull

maybe i should stop hating because i'm a bit biased agains the whole renault and alonso thing

Apparently that drew the ire of animal rights activists

1,000th post! w00t!

A lot of animal rights morons complained about that. So, now Alonso did a bull move instead, this time around.

I loved the Button grenade, got a good kick out of that. Something has to be done about those Midlands giving Alonso 500m's at the restart, it was just plain rediculous.

Kimi drove his usual clean race although not as fast as I expected, very happy to have him second though....he also looked euphoric... as usual. Just watched the interview and he put the lack of mid-race speed down to the vibration in his nose cone, he couldn't push as hard as he wanted to. Saw him laugh for the first time today, one of our interviewers asked "Being a young man, what do you spend all your money on?" and Kimi just laughed and said "What money? I don't have any money"

Good drive to Alonso, he deserved the win really. Don't know how Heidfeld got dropped back so far under the SC period, didn't seem legal anyway.

 

[The359]

I missed him making bull horns with his hands.

What the hell is there to get irritated about that, except that Bubble Bunny seems to be against the Renault "thing", whatever the hell that's supposed to mean...

 

[Omnis]

Hahaha. Peter Windsor messed up.

"..and Alonso takes his first win of the season."

I liked how Alonso and Kimi both looked at eachother like "wtf?" HAhaha.

 

[VTRacing]

That was a good moment.

 

[Carl.]

Someone upped the revs too much at Honda?

Another great race! Toyota on the podium, both BMW and a Toro Rosso in the points. Who would have guessed?

It was fun hearing all the tough talk going on over the radio with Barichello, Fisichella, Coultard...

 

[BMWteamPTG]

you know, i really enjoyed this race. im happy that BMW got some points, no one got hurt, and its just another race down. now theyll be getting better

 

[m7ammed]

Well the BMWs did have really long pit stops , I'm really impressed with BMWs pace , congrats to all BMW fans out there

 

[Carl.]

Maybe now Flavio will get off his ass. He was yelling at Fisi in the last ten laps according to ITV.

We didn't hear anything from Flavio here, but either Symmonds or his engineer was yelling at thim that there was absolutely no reason for him to be 2 seconds slower than Alonso mid-race... go faster!!!

Symmonds really looked exasperated in the pits, too.

 

[Kylehnat]

Flavio: "Fisico, go go go! Rapido, per favore!"
