Mid race advert break time for a quick post...

I have no respect for him. COmplaing to your team about a car infront being slower? As the engineer said to him... pass him them...

the timing of fisichella's hydraulic failiure was also very suspicious...

edit: can someone put "spoiler" in the title please? fwd?

I think I agree with Ron Dennis (it's not often that this happens), a black flag is really rather uncontestable and wasn't really deserved... Also the rule Martin Brundle read out said something along the lines of "When the safety car is in the pit exit area... a driver may not exit the pit lane" didn't Montoya leave the pit lane well before the safety car was there?

At Canada... he was faster than Raikonnen all weekend, was leading the race and skillfully stopped the car sliding into the wall after he gave it a bit too much throttle trying to make sure he made it out infront of the renault...

The safety car came out and a very last minute call by the team, over a radio you can hardly hear because you have a 140dB engine revving its nuts off about 20cm behind your head was misinterpreted by JPM. He pitted anyway and both JPM _and the team_ failed to notice the red light (its not normally on during the race!). Stewards gave him a rather unfair black flag...
