Yeah, but it doesn't matter anyway. He'll probably qualify 23rd or 24th ;)

Schumacher didn't drive better than other races, its just he had less bad luck than usual, and that he didn't have contact with other drivers, had a great top speed and his usual fantastic start. I'm a Schumi fan, so don't take this as something against him. I still think he deserves more good results like this over the past GPs but that's racing. Only IF he had little more luck things would really look different ! :)

After the start crash did the cars have to go through the escape road while under the safety car? Don't think it was shown, they cut to a replay.

Don't think so as the escape road has those foam barriers.

Can I just say the engine RPM limit @ 18k is one of the worse decisions by the FIA.

Yeaa that I agree with, called it BS during the race. We saw how it limits racing here.

Just wait until they have the same gearing for all races...

Most of them were on the limiter half way down the straight and topping out at 330-340 kph.

Knowing the FIA they'd probably be more likely to get rid of Monza than remove the rev limit :(

Rev limiter racing, IRL on ovals and F1 at Monza :(

It would be nice to hear a car at 20,000 rpms again (e.g. 2006 Williams).

Just came back from Monza, it was fantastic.
The earth was moving at the start and the tifozi went nuts - unbelivable

Fixed :p

But yeh, imagine how awesome that would be if they had the 2011 cars, with those italian rubbers, current overtaking aids and the 2006 engines. FFS, they even used long gear ratios !

*comes and drools*

But it is still the teams decision to not setup the car for overtaking.

Even without an enforced limit I think you would still see teams running into the same problem.

I didn't get all the fuss about Vettel probably having a difficult race because of his gear ratio and lack of top speed on the straight.

I mean, if you are half a second faster in qualifying, which is quite a big gap, then who cares if his top speed is not that fast.

and people should not moan about the Schumi/Hamilton fight. Schumacher showed he can still race, on the limit, and Lewis showed that he can 'wait' and doesn't overreact during the fight.

I mean, we all find the Gilles/Arnoux battle great, don't we? If such thing would happen nowadays each of them would probably get a whole bunch of penalties...

before penalties, their teams would be all over the radios. asking them to take car home.

Just noticed that at the start, Buemi was lucky to continue as in trying to avoid Rosberg, he went went over Rosberg's rear tyre with his own rear tyre :p

Also, I think Gaara noticed this at the time

There was also another minor collision that was missed

So that's why Trulli wasn't suddenly on Kovalainen's tail anymore. Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:

The other two incidents I noticed, was pretty hilarious moves by Buemi and Barrichello. :lol: :lol:
