It was a tough race for Mclaren. MS & FA were both great as usual. I really thought Kimi was going to pass Massa at the end, but no such luck.

Geez, what a disappointing race. I watched from a cabin up in Big Bear with a Huge plasma screen hoping the best for our boys. I figured that JPM would really be able to get past the back markers. No such luck. Then Kimi gets so far behind Massa. The coverage was not so good because most of the race was about MS. Guess being from Germany and all. And not a whole lotta hotties shown either. Come on now.

(I should post about the drive up in an Audi TT 04. Actually made the car owner, a girl throwup!!!)

Overall, best thing I can say is that Massa finally proved himself. As usually Alonso put up a extremely competent effort and showed his maturity.

Downside. What was it 6 cars out. This engine rule thing absolutely is ruining the racing.

What happened to Kimi?

He just seem to have the fighting spirit he did last year. I really would have expected him to either pass Massa or shunt the car trying. This driving around in 4th place thing was probably as boring for him to do as it was for us to watch.

All in all I have to say I am now a truly impressed fan of MS. How he can turn on the hot laps at will when he needs to is just amazing and I dare say Alonso just couldn't do it when he needed to.

Look at Schumacher's performance over 2 races... at Imola, Alonso was behind him the whole time, clearly faster, but was unable to make the 2nd pitstop pass... you could argue that he made his car wide, it's difficult to pass in Imola, etcc But now look at this GP, exactly the same situation in reverse, and he pulls off what Alonso could not in the previous race... his trademark 2 quick laps. This is why this guy has seven (count them... seven) world driving championships under his belt. He's not my favorite driver nor the most exciting to watch, but he is the best. All these kids coming up just don't measure up. (Maybe we should get that dude who claims he'd beat MS on a roadcar into a race seat)
