Spanish GP - Spoiler if you Tivo'd
I am convinced Kimi is cursed. He has to have the worst luck in the world.
He left McLaren, and I predicted he would be better off as the McLarens cannot keep mirrors on their cars through practice and quali let alone last a weekend. So now the McLarens appear to be bulletproof (so far) and now suddenly Ferrari is having gremlins. One again Hamilton impresses me with his patience at the start and his pace through the race, even if Alonso is truthful he had issues. The consistant guy is 1st in the WC points without a win, can one be far off? Not the most exciting race this season past the first 10 laps but the back stories sure made it so. Did anyone else think FA was a little too optimistic in the first 2 turns? I know he wanted to pass fast but he really risked taking out the 2 front rows. Was Massa really to blame here? I did not see it that way. (off to rewatch the opening on Tivo) Looking foward to Monaco in 2 weeks.

I only got a brief glimpse of the incident but the British commentary team seemed to think it was mainly Alonso's fault.

Good race but the number of DNF's was higher than normal.
Almost agree with your comments about Kimi... same situation at McLaren now he starts with this.

Mr Black Magic continues to impress, whereas the Finnish 'Sisu' continues to seem far fetched. Really interesting to follow this season.

It was definitely Massa's fault, not Alonso's. Not biased at all, of course

it's racing, i'm suprised there haven't been more 1st corner incidents then there have been over the past 2 years.
watching kimi when he was qualifying he was fiddling with the steering wheel controls and turned way too tight and went off track, i think he may have more going on in his head than he is letting on.... hamilton again proved he has what it takes to be a world champion......and now he's leading. i predict his first victory will be withing the next 5 races......it'd be a hoot if his first win will be at silverstone, his home race
