Did anyone else hear the pit to car radio from renault to Fisi. Went along the lines of 'Giancarlo, Alonso is running 2 seconds a lap faster than you on the same fuel load and tyres. This is unacceptable, sort it out'
DOesn't bode well for Fisi, seems he's destined never to fulfil the potential he once appeared to have.
Rather an Alesi-type figure, Commentators rave about him, like JPM, but he never quite pulls it out. (actually for us brits rather like JB too!!)

The fact that Fisi got his bollocking over an open radio net and live on ITV1 must be hugely embarassing...

Marki, you're right! I spent a lot of time in my youth hanging around the Lola factory in Huntingdon, and all the people there, as i'm sure they do elsewhere, refer to drivers as 'the soft bit in the middle'. General opinion being that they are egos in helmets, often responsible for messing things up, and if the cars could run without drivers they all be much happier!

Perhaps Coulthard was told to get past Speed after we'd earlier seen Liuzzi storm past M SChumi down a straight, think that RBR/Toro Rosso might be concerned about having their v10s futher limited....
Apparently Scott Speed was none too polite to Coulthard in the driver's briefing after the race, he's been fined $5000 for abusing another driver!
