Yeah, looks like Kimi is the self-appointed Force India wrecking crew.

Did you guys see this quote of Vettel?

kimi vs. sutil incident looks very different from webber vs. barrichello
http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2009/07/1...india-a-point/

Haven't found the highlight replays (just download the race via torrents) but webber clearly drove into barrichello. Kimi was trying to defend his position and according to the article above, also slightly ahead. Racing isn't kind, nobody is gonna give you a position.

Post race penalties are silly, anyway. It shouldn't take an hour to figure out if it was a racing incident (which Sutil/Kimi was) or douchebaggery (which Webber ramming Rubens was).

Good to see Weber finally win one. Overall I was very happy about the podium. Great to see a Ferrari up there again.
As far as the KR vs. AS thing, all Sutil on that one. He should have been happy where he was, behind Kimi. Needless to say, Force India, still the only team yet to score.

One more race on Fox than its back to Speed thank god. Were you guys like wtf when all you got to see was Webers one comment? I was.

I'm torn, because I'm stuck with Comcast which refuses to transmit Speed HD because their network is a FPOS. So I get low def (which is ****ing awful on a 60" TV), but better coverage.

I was pissed when I only saw 10 seconds of the after race interview... I must say though at least we get the same announcers.

You can watch the full post-race interviews when Speed replays the race (Tuesday or Wednesdays, I forget).

I just don't like how the announcers dumb everything down on Fox as opposed to Speed. They have to explain everything very slowly and carefully so that the NASCAR fans who are watching can grasp the concept that these cars are not based on the Ford Taurus.
