LH FTMFL ... WTF?!?!?!

Big congrats to Kubica and BMW Sauber. First win, first 1-2 ... nice to see a third team in serious contention.

Yay for BMW Sauber and Red Bull teams! After the top 3 drivers were taken out (Kimi, Luis and Fernando) it was a free for all shoot out

I cheered hard for Kubica. This guy is going to be a major force in F1 without any of the diva baggage.

I was surprised that McLaren and Ferrari number two's did not capitalize better on the redlight incident. That neither number two made it onto the podium is surprising given the superiority of their equipment. Massa has some legitimate excuse as the team's failure on the first refuelling made it a tough day for him.

Kovalainen could not get the power down. The car was fast, he was just having a hard time with acceleration out of the low speed corners. Ahhhh well.... till France. Go MM!!!!!!

Lewis F@%ked up big time... mistakes happen. 10 place penalty. I wonder why Kimi did not get Squat after taking Sutil out in Monaco. Again Hamilton F@#ked up big time. UGGGGg! I stopped watching the race after he crashed out. I am praying that he gets pole in France and KIMI, MASSA, KUBICA .... Nah. I dont wish engine failures on anyone. SIKE... YES I DO!

Because the accident was in bad conditions and it was nothing he could have done.

Kimi's incident happened at 170mph on a slippery track, he saved the car only to run into Sutil. Lewis, on the other hand just wasn't paying attention to the lights. He should know better after what happened to Massa and Fisi last year. The red light is almost always going to be on at the end of the pit lane when the SC is out.
Penalty well deserved IMO.

Its strange though that Hamilton swerved to avoid Kubica to hit Kimi .... I've been a Kimi fan since his Sauber days and I was pissed when Hamilton ran into him. In the in-cockpit replay of Hamilton he wasn't even paying attention, he was playing with something on this steering wheel, than looks up and swerves to the left and boom, into Kimi.

As usual the Iceman just pointed at the lights and probably had some well deserved choice words for Hamilton as well.

The Kimi-Sutil accident was way different than the Hamilton- Kimi accident. Kimi lost control of the rear under breaking in Monaco and was inadvertant where as Hamilton's was just plain stupid, well deserving of a penalty.

I too was happy to see BMW and Kubica grab there first win with Quick Nick nabbing a second and good 'ol DC at 3rd.

Great year so far, bring on Magny-Cours.
