What mistake?

I didn't catch the race live but I'm reading the summary and it says Kovalainen suffered from a puncture.

That's really out of his hands especially if there's debris all over the racing line from a seperate incident.

On the first corner after the start of the race Heikki blocked off Kimi with an amazing amount of "douche", in doing so his left rear tire came in contact with
Kimi's front wing. This is what I saw on Tv and what the announcers were talking about and reviewing.

Good picks guys, 4 tied for the top now! Quite an interesting race I thought, shame for Kovalainen after coming back from a crash and sticking it on the front row.

Fuck...I guess my "random guess" technique wasn't very effective.

Oh well, I aint staying up till 2:00am on Saturday to watch the torrent once it's done.

Couldn't you just look at the qualy results?

I would rather watch qualifying and be surprised than read the results...I find this three tier qualifying to be very entertaining.

Curse Dr. Strangelove and his current temporary alphabetic advantage.

Yeah so would I normally, but sometimes I just have no time.

From now on, all of my forum names will be AAAAAAAAAAAA, just in case.

Away for the weekend 3rd race on the trot, this is becoming a bad habit!

My prediction will have to be:

1. Hamilton
2. Raikkonen
3. Rosberg
4. Kubica
5. Massa
6. Coulthard
7. Button
8. Kovalainen

I'm throwing wildcards in for expecting rain!

Raikkonen
Massa
Hamilton
Kubica
Rosberg
Alonso
Trulli
Glock

This will be a crazy race. If it rains, we will see where the true talent lies. If that's the case, look for amazing performances from Alonso, Trulli, Rosberg, Hamilton, and Kubica. Raikkonen will probably be unaffected by the rain, maybe even bored. I am in San Diego for the weekend, so I found a cool group to watch F1 with.

Brilliant drive by Hamilton!

I feel so bad for Sutil.

Yea, that was really sad...

Poor poor Sutil...he was doing so great. Great job for Webber, Vettel, Barichello, and Nakajima though. Super exciting race overall when you see those names as high as they were and not Raikonnen, Heidfeld, Rosberg, etc.

Here is hope that I can count!

It was a great race, I had a feeling a week before the race that Hamilton was gona somehow swoop in and get the win, despite Ferrari being hot, kinda of unfinished business for Hami from last year!!! Crazy stuff happening all over the track, the Rosberg crash was intense, I hope he is fine! Kimi loosing it after the tunnel and hitting the back of Sutil was an unfortunate accident, tough tough break for Force F1 India.

Dude, I feel so bad for Sutil...awesome race for Hamilton though.

I feel sorry for Sutil too but after reading this:
http://www.planet-f1.com/story/0,18954,3213_3609267,00.html
...I don't feel sorry for the team at all. I mean, it was clear Raikkonen lost control and there was nothing he could have done. He tried to regain control but couldn't, so "Force India" should stop embarrassing themselves.

C'mon! Coulthard lost it in Q2 in that exact same spot!

I have nothing but sympathy for Sutil but Mike Gascoyne needs to quit talking out of his ass.

Yes bobo you can count. 9 points scored in total and I should carry on doing my predictions before qualy it seems! I wonder how the race would've truned out if Hamilton hadn't hit the barrier, if it'd be any different. Poor Sutil - I haven't read the article above, but I hate Mike Gascoyne anyway so I had mixed feelings when Sutil was running 4th, such a shame for him personally.

wow.....I got nothing right

Well I forgot, although I don't think it would've been very good. This weeks winner Dr. S with 1 Point!

I rely on honesty for this competition, so given odd time differences, I would've honoured your prediction Bjorn if you say they were still on the formation lap, as they hadn't actually started and no-one had changed positions since Qualifying at that point. However unfortunately you scored no points anyway.
