You noticed that to (regarding RB not making a mistake)....I have always liked RB as a driver and always thought he was somewhat under-rated, but he did crack under pressure before...look like he has developed past that.

Japan, is going to be interesting, if I remember correctly, that has always been one of RB's favorite tracks...

Well, it's certainly not over yet.
I suspect it is...

- I'm not sure how much JV is every going to improve
- BAR at Suzuka is a known strength
- If they really swap JV for GF now I suspect it will help Renault but hurt Sauber, but I don't think they will actually do it, but I could be wrong, that would be amazing...

RB not only had a great race, but he was on his best the whole weekend, impressive

MS has not had such a crappy race in a very long time, if ever, just amazing...

Remember the debate last week when I said the Toyota engine was one of the most powerful and someone shot me down? Well again the announcers said it this weekend during the broadcast, I still suspect the Toyotas make power, and the lack of team just sucks the potential out of it.

Ralf seemed to have a great race after being out of the seat for so long. Weather I like him or Frank, it was darn good to see him back at work. So now there seems to be talk that JB may NOT make it over to BMW, that sure as hell will leave Frank scrambling.

And Nabeel, to make you feel even better, I despise Frank Williams more than I do David Richards

yes, but you don't see the power/speed due to the poor(er) chassis.

And in the world of cars & minivan, they have the worst looking lineup, their trucks and SUVs are not bad at all, but their cars and minivan are nasty to look at. IMHO.
