I dunno. I saw Kimi sporting that look once Ferrari retired his car, and had a good laugh about it.

the 2009 F1 season has sure been unpredictable thus far.

i definitely did a double take when they threw on the full wets on kimi's car 1st stop though.

What a race. Fast laps, then drizzle, then rain, the downpour, then cats & dogs rain then..........MONSOON! From dryes to intermediate wets to full wets to NOAH's ark! Finally common sense prevailed and the RED FLAGGED THE RACE and called it less then 2/3rds into it. And look who's in first.....AGAIN! Honda must be biting their tongue! :D

Definitely common sense, It was getting pretty dark and once the race clock hit 1:50, there's no point. The limit is two hours and there has to be a 10 min. warning for restart.

So, Ferrari says it will cost them $20M to change the rear diffuser if the open venturi style is deemed to be legal. Anyone care to guess which way the decision might go? Granted the Motor Sports Council isn't easy for Maranello to pocket compared to Bernie or Max, but there's been some gift giving to the red cars by the MSC.

I'm really hoping that's not the case that they are deemed illegal. :( And the stewards are f'ing up the racing. Now no one will want to go hot on the inside corner for fear of the "stewards". What a crock.

Another genius move from the Troll. Last week, the sun blinds the drivers going into the last complex before the front straight. This week, they had to call it for darkness.

There have been shorter races, but it's been a long time.
