Glock was on the drys YES and might have been struggling to stay on the track, but he still gave up the position. Hamilton has a very good friend in Timo!!!

I think you are being a bit unfair to poor old Timo here because, if you look at the video you posted, 4 cars (including 1lap down Kubica & Nakajima) passed him in that corner, had they been on the lead lap he would have lost 4 spots, he was totally helpless.
What does everyone think happened to BMW? Driver YIPS? Manufacturer stopped improving the car for '08?

I admit there's no way for me to know what really happened, so I play the speculation game. Perhaps it was something other than slipping in the wetness, perhaps he lost his engine?? What an exciting finish...whatever happened. Kudos to Toyota also, they really picked it up towards the end of the year.
