Or is it consistancy?

Either way, GO FELIPE!

It has to be said if that ruling by the FIA isn’t stopping teams from using those maps at the start of the race then surely it isn’t working and it either needs to be scrapped or changed?

In fact, if you didn’t do what F1 fans expect, I wouldn’t visit your website so often…

As for Hamilton, I was a bit angry for such a hot debate concerning Alonso’s supposed fault for something that was cleary, from the start, purely down to Hamilton (driver’s or car’s fault included)

By the way, I hope I didn’t offend you with my "harsh" approach, and If I did, I apologize, but since the first message I pointed that you made a good job…

And as for Massa, I’m not saying you simply "go out to trash" him, as if you purely dislike him or so…

Just said that you’re so strongly convinced that he’s not a match for the top three (Kimi, Fernando and Lewis) that whenever he does something worth of applause, you always ask yourself… "how could he?"

Some people need to learn that not everyone is out to trash one driver and talk up another. That has never been my approach with this website and, given the detail I’ve gone into above trying to figure out what happened in the race and why, I hoped you might appreciate that.

Similarly I haven’t "admitted" anything about Hamilton. It’s not my place to "admit" anything because I’m not the one driving the car. If he’s made a mistake it’s up for him to own up to it – I’m just a guy giving my opinion.

Don, you may be right about the 90 second engine rule – any more information would be appreciated.

Had Raikkonen won on the same circunstances, that would never be a point of debate…

Anyway, I can’t deny you made a good job by pointing that Massa’s engine was "less stressed"…

And, by the way, I applaud you for admitting (better late than never) that Hamilton’s crash was entirely his own fault.

It would seem to me that a GP driver with years of racing behind him, with probably hundreds of starts, could do a very good job of maximizing a start.  I’ll also bet that it is difficult for those engineering the engine/car performance to give up that control. 

Let’s trust the driver’s instincts a bit more….. remembering Hamilton’s start-line problems, and Heikki bumped button…and design the cars to enhance them.

Regarding the simulated launch control, I was waiting for this to happen some day, since its very difficult to time how long it takes the grid to settle down after the formation lap.

Regarding the loss of LH’s front wing element causing  the accident, I will have to agree with that. One reason being the cars require down force to stop quickly. In the absence of sufficient downforce the car will lose braking ability and secondly even if the driver lifted his feet from the throttle, there will be reduced rates of retardation. The car would be essentially running on only the rear wheels reducing friction with the road and promoting good acceleration. It probably happened too fast for the driver to be aware of it.

Most drivers tend to wave a lot or use hand gestures be it for over taking back markers or just the elation of going past another car. Alonso is one driver even who tends to do a lot of hand gesticulation.
