re: The Official F1 Thread
Well, Heikki did it, albeit because of the misfortune of others. Massa was very very unlucky, to have the engine blow out with three laps to go, he must have been pretty angry, especially after the great race he was driving. However, if we remember back to Australia, the Ferrari engines looked vulnerable in the heat, as they were in Hungary. As soon as Kimi passed Alonso, he was able to show that there wasn't much wrong with him or the Ferrari, and after that third place is only five points behind Hamilton.
Good on Timo Glock, he drove a very good race in the Toyota. I think this proves that the Toyotas are the "best of the rest," in the field. I think they are closely followed by the Renaults who also did well last night. It seems that Piquet has grown in confidence since his first points and his first podium, so hopefully he continues to be consistant.
A pretty poor week for the BMW's who seemed to look sluggish in the race. Although Kubica was in fifth, he didn't look compedative when against Glock, so there must have been some technical issues like oversteer and he wasn't helped by getting passed by four cars during the pitstops. However, he was able to salvage a single point. Heidfeld drove alright to salvage five places to go from 15th to 10th, after his qualification lap in Q1 was blocked by Bourdais. However, his car too looked on the slower side, so there are some problems for the BMW boys to work out there.
