was surprised to see both the ferrari's below top 10.. if it wasnt for montoya spinning out on his second to last sprint, i definitly think he would have pole...
as for the start.. i'm hoping button has a bad start, and falls back to 5th, kimi gets in front of the 2 renaults, and montoya somehow just keeps up with the rest of the pack... let it unfold from there

The start
Yeah, I was on the couch and I saw that the clock went down to 0:00. So, I knew this was it. But JPM took it past the 10/10ths and that spin just hurt. I literally jumped off the couch and was shouting.
I think he coulda had it, but coulda, shoulda, woulda, don't cut it in F1, nor anywhere.
I think Button is going to be absolutely swallowed by the Renaults. Kimi is going to battle to get past Button, and Juan is going to get impatient behind Button.
Damn, I love F1!

Yeah, jonesing here. I'm trying to time when to put in the pizza, buffalo wings, and tater tots during the pre race show.
I looked up the news on F1, ITV, speed board. I'm ready!
Look we ALL know, unless Jenson does some Serious blocking, 1 or even both Renaults will FLY by.

How about that! Best race in the season so far! Button must be on suicide watch.
You've much to leanr... in F1 you ONLY win if you're first. Second is the first loser.

quite an exciting race.. imola should be interesting considering half the grid is going to be using new engines whereas the ones that finished gotta reuse the engine..
i was disappointed to see montoya go out like that.. i was hoping we would see at least a 2-3 for mclaren

)I'm watching a post race show from German TV, and they showed Montoya doing smoky donuts on a black SLK AMG while smiling and waving to the camera. This guy has awesome car control.

You guys are much to considerate of JPM. I'm actually getting really tired of his immaturity.
Lets see, Shu has a shunt on that corner, SC comes out, and they clean up. Not to mention Gordo had run over that same corner ground and had some car control issues.
So, Gordo decides to let the car hang out on the same corner where their was carbon fiber debris. What a STUPID move!
Instead of getting a blown tire, he smacks the bottom of the car like a pancake and has electrical issues. The cars are not designed for continued heavy bottom contact. He could have gained the points for himself and for constructors.I'm a huge JPM fan, I go to the JPM dinner in Indy, blah blah. But I'm just getting tired of his immaturity in driving. Winning is not always 10/10ths running. Its maturity in decision making. Something he is lacking in!

JPM vs. Button
I want to like JPM, I try to like JPM, but at the end of the day he is just overrated.
I'd love to see JPM and Button switch cars. Then Juan could blame the car instead of his own immaturity, and Button wouldn't have any more excuses.
Am I the only one who thinks Button blew up his car on purpose to save face....?
I'd pay big money to see Kimi and Fernando in evenly matched cars with no traffic....
