Au contraire.

I love what Brawn is doing, a former Ferrari masertmind it must be mentioned, and I like Red Bull too (remember the Red Bull "roller" on display in the paddock of FSAE West last year?) so I'd be doing just fine, thank-you-very-much.

AND, I would've picked Massa for 3rd yesterday while all you monkeys wouldn't have.

I was happy for him too. He's been in the sport a long time, and he's always accessible and classy. He said he lost track of Barrichello, and that making a move like that on purpose isn't his style. Given the size of the mirrors on an F1 car and all the other crap he had to concentrate on, I consider this plausible. I also agree that deliberately taking someone out or cutting them off so obviously isn't his style. On a related subject, how about the strength of the Brawns when getting shunted from the side? That was Rubens' third hard whack from the side this season, and he finished all three races, winning one. I've seen a lot of other cars have to DNF because of shunts like that or smaller.

yeah, intentionally twacking someone in a F1 car isn't something any of the drivers would do, i don't think. they all know how fragile these cars are when they come in contact with anything..

Update from the F1 Fantasy League after the German GP:

(My two teams are third and sixth in our local CFOFL league. What I don't like about this league is the spending caps that we have to adhere to, which makes me sympathize with the F1 owners in that recent brouhaha! In fact, our allowance isn't enough to actually run the current teams?! In order to afford Button and R. Brawn, my second driver in one of my teams is Sutil?!)

mako: The results of race 9

Team owner competition:
Points race 9: 106.7
Position race 9: 416
Total points: 985.3
Total position: 523

Team No. 1: Brawn
Points race 9: 97
Position race 9: 2766
Total points: 1080
Total position: 2655
Position in league 'CFOFL': 6

Team No. 2: Toyota Previa F1
Points race 9: 123
Position race 9: 2185
Total points: 1113
Total position: 2378
Position in league 'CFOFL': 3

Team No. 3: Toyota Suby F1
Points race 9: 100
Position race 9: 2702
Total points: 763
Total position: 4303

Actually based on Sutil's drive yesterday, he might not be a bad choice. Until Kimi ended his race, he was looking pretty legit, and the fact that he got Force India's first Q3 run on Sat. tells me it wasn't a fluke. Hammy raced with him in the "minor leagues" and supposedly considers Sutil his peer.

Sutil's considered a good driver in a mediocre car, although the Force India is far better than it was last year.

Meanwhile, Sebastien Bourdais is out of a job.
