Nando is still so bitter then about Mclaren, complaining - wouldn't expect anything less from him.

It will be exciting seeing Heikki and Lewis move up the grid, but in the wet it will be a complete lottery...

A bit harsh, but they HAD to do something to stop it happening in the future.

How about a new maximum speed slow lap for each circuit?

To be honest, Heidfeld was just lucky because Heikki and Lewis were on a straight, if they had been on the racing line in a corner that would have properly ruined his lap.

only the second race of the season, and the mclaren witchhunt has started :red:
Notice Massa was in the middle of it and nothing was mentioned by the stewards...... ::)

Anyway, Heidfeld took the racing line before the braking point of the corner, so what's his problem?

Yeah exactly, plus Trulli usually starts very quicky - he is on the clean side of the track. So he could overtake Kimi I reckon. And if it's wet, Massa will just fall off the track like he usually does in the rain.

You need some Mclaren cough mixture ;)

Yep a race like 2001 would be good, Lewis and Heikki are great in the wet - 1-2 at Fuji. :D

actually come to think of it, having watched it again on ITV, Massa wasn't even in the slow group of cars, but Kimi definately hindered Alonso halfway round the lap.

Still, FIA loves Ferrari - the colour OF EVIL >:((

This is the problem, if that was a Ferrari - they wouldn't be penalised.

It was like Nando's outrageous penalty at Monza a couple of years for blocking Massa, completely stupid.
