Yeah but there was some "questionable" officiating on the part of the French organizers.

he didn't "Spank" schumi either. If I remember correctly, Schumi was ahead of him in the race but stopped early by mistake. He thought the start/finish line was sooner than it was.

IIRC both Loeb & Schumi were beaten by HK due to time penalties. In ROC if you clip the barriers you get a 10s penalty. Rules are rules so keep it on the road if you want to win in ROC. Loeb is French so I don't think the organisers favored HK.

Nevertheless Heikki Kovalainen does have a lot of cred in many pitlanes and he is our next hope (I'm Finnish ) for F1 star status. I'm looking fwd to seeing him in a Renault F1 and after the way KR put Fisi to shame in Japan HK might be racing sooner than you think... Flavio was NOT impressed with Fisi for loosing P1 on the last lap.
