Never underestimate a highly motivated man, even if all he has is a dull pocket knife.
Yeah, he wants that Ferrari drive so bad!

Yep.

I had no clue who would win, even after the last corner.

Hell of a race... and there is a huge party in my house at the moment!

Well, it's only a little past 9 AM here, so I'm still on a coffee high. Enjoy the festivities Patrick!

What a bunch of crap that was......you close down a 2+sec gap in a lap & a 1/2 to ~ 0.5 sec. then hold station for 12laps to settle for 2nd. without even a half-hearted challenge at the leading Ferrari. I'm not saying make some kamikaze move and through it all away, but I'll not be convinced that's the best Fisichella could do, he dogged it & you could see it in the Force India team's muted celebration. :thumbsdown:

Fisichella wants to drive for SF in Monza (and maybe for the rest of the year). No point to risk that possibility. P2 was a fantastic result for him and Force India.

Not only did Fisichella dog it (with more than one eye on the stories of a possible move to Ferrari, I suspect), I also thought Raikonnen was at fault for the sequence of events that led to the incidents on the first lap which took out a few key players. Coupled with the safety car, it ultimately gave him the win. I'm surprised he never got called on it, the commentary team on Speed made much the same point.

HAHA! Team orders are OK so long as you're not on the same team!
