Once again, you’re totally dodging my actual points, staying true to your usual style.🤣
Here’s exactly why I’m saying Nick Heidfeld basically handed that win over to Kubica:
1. Heidfeld letting Kubica through right after the pit stop was a massive gamble. They risked losing Heidfeld's spot to Alonso because he could have easily sliced right past him.
2. Heidfeld slowing down just enough to let Kubica break away from Alonso.
3. Risking Heidfeld's second-place finish by calling him in for a stop that allowed Alonso—who was clearly faster—to catch up. Who knows what times Alonso would've clocked if he hadn't been held back? There was a real chance he would've come out right on Heidfeld's tail.
4. Telling Heidfeld to let Alonso pass might actually be a first in Formula 1 history. I can't think of any other precedent for something like this. Having Alonso behind him was a huge advantage for Heidfeld to secure at least P2, and keeping him back only limited Alonso's chances at that second spot.
5. The team openly telling Kubica exactly how many fast laps he needed to stay ahead of Heidfeld.
6. All that cheering in the BMW garage when Kubica zipped through the pits into first place. If they didn't care which of their two "equal" drivers took the win, they wouldn't have been celebrating like Kubica had just overtaken a Ferrari instead of his own teammate.
7. That sour look on Heidfeld's face after the race. The guy knew exactly what was happening to him.

Just try being objective for once. Regardless of how much you root for Kubica, you've gotta admit that win was gifted to him...

Look, I'm happy Kubica won and took the lead in the standings. Out of the current title contenders—Hamilton and those two Ferraris—he's the one I'd most love to see crowned champion at the end of the season. I think BMW's move was smart since it's their only way to stay in the championship fight, but let's be real: that was Heidfeld's race to lose.

rustystag7 said:Look, don't be like that. There's a big difference between just hating on Hamilton and actually looking at the facts...

Yeah, he messed up. He totally screwed the pooch, but there was zero intent behind it...

I’ll draw a parallel here to what happened with Sutil and Raikkonen in Monaco...

I said the same thing back then—in my opinion, Lewis shouldn't be punished because he wasn't trying to cause trouble...

And let me remind you, Coulthard basically knocked two drivers out in two straight races just by being clumsy, and nobody said a word about it.🤷

You can't really compare it to Raikkonen. In that case, Kimi just lost control of the car. It was a typical accident that could happen to anyone.

Coulthard wasn't out to take people out; he was just fighting for position. Those kinds of collisions during a battle for position have always happened and they always will.

But this? This isn't a "battle for position" and it sure as hell isn't an accident. It's not something that just happens to any driver. It's pure idiocy, and honestly, the penalty should have been way more drastic.

Giving that bummer a 10-second penalty was way too light; they honestly should have just bumped him straight to the back of the pack.
Honestly, I don't think Rosberg even deserved a penalty. By getting into that mess with the bummer, he basically just brought a little justice to the race by taking out someone who—if luck had been on his side or if there was a quick fix in the pits—probably would have kept grinding away. In my book, Rosberg’s collision didn't actually screw over Raikkonen because the bummer had already effectively knocked himself out of the running. He didn't hurt anyone but himself, so the stewards should've just let it slide.

Roger Wright94 said:Plus, Nick Heidfeld just doesn't belong there. Honestly, I bet they only keep him at BMW because he's German.

You're totally forgetting that Nick Heidfeld was absolutely tearing it up against Robert Kubica last year.
And man, he really should have taken the win in this race...

Raymond Ortiz89 said:Hey Edward Howard2, did you get hit with yellow cards for trolling? You know, for what happened yesterday.

Guilty as charged! 😢
I’ve basically got a full collection going at this point—gathering them just like postage stamps. Want me to send one your way? I've definitely got some spares. 😁

Raymond Ortiz89 said:And let's not forget how obvious it was when Nick Heidfeld basically just handed over the lead. You could totally see it happening.

Jason definitely picked his favorite driver for this season. Honestly, Nick Heidfeld had everything he needed to take that win. When word got out that he was letting Fernando Alonso through, it was way too obvious. Then you have that moment where everyone's cheering because Robert Kubica breezes past Nick Heidfeld in the pits. I actually think it’s a smart move by BMW; it gives their main guy a much better shot at fighting for the championship.

darkmarlin16 said:So who are you actually rooting for? You can't even handle watching Massa and Kimi Räikkönen.

Man, everyone knows who he's pulling for... the guy's totally living in the past...

Bradley Nelson2 said:Look, I called it! I said Kubica was gonna take the win. So who’s the real expert here? Huh? Huh? 😛

Man, you've been saying that about every single race since the season started. Honestly, it was only a matter of time before you actually got lucky. 😁

Raymond Ortiz89 said:Man, Massa absolutely crushed that special race at the IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! 😉 My bad on that first turn. I totally messed that one up. 🙄

Man, you completely missed the mark on this one. 😂

He didn't even get a decent launch at the start, he didn't manage to overtake a single soul in that first lap, and honestly? He didn't even make it onto the podium. Total wash. 😂😂😂

I honestly need Lewis Hamilton to give me a formal apology because he just cost me a massive chunk of change on my parlay ☕

Kyle Taylor2 said:With all those heavy-hitting channels on DirecTV, you'd actually think they might carry F1 somewhere. 😢

So wait, you mean not a single channel on DirecTV is broadcasting Formula 1? 😕
And here I was, seriously thinking about signing up. 🤣

Raymond Ortiz89 said:No, that’s not what I meant. I was saying Alonso actually showed some serious skill today.😂 😂>>You get it now? You spent the whole time trashing Massa, so what have you got to say for yourself now? Just remember, everything you say just makes you look less like an F1 expert.😂

Oh, I’ve definitely got something to say...
First off... Hamilton and Sutil basically saved your skin from getting banned.👎
You were acting like such a big-shot expert, predicting Massa would be hunting down the Kubica guy in the very first lap and cruising to a podium finish. Meanwhile, I called it—I said Alonso wouldn't even make it to the pits and wouldn't see a podium. So, who’s actually better at reading the race?

Just because he was passing drivers who crumbled under pressure while driving a much faster car doesn't mean he put on some legendary performance.🤣

Matthew Foster46 said:Lewis Hamilton's apology to Kimi Räikkönen:
I owe Kimi an apology. If I had actually cost him the race..., Look, that's just how the game goes sometimes. Things happen.."

Man, he’s actually out here apologizing like he somehow engineered his own win? As if there was only a tiny 30% chance he had anything to do with it, when we all know it was a total 100% lock. What an absolute idiot!🙂🙂🙂

I find this even more hilarious! 😂😂
That’s just how things go sometimes. Life happens. 😂😂😂
I honestly don't think I've ever seen anything quite like what just happened in Formula 1. Seriously, I'm speechless.
They seriously need to slap him with a ten-place grid penalty or a two-week ban. That was just wrong.
To all you Hamilton fans out there who genuinely think he’s got this championship in the bag—seriously, take a second and rethink that. 🤣

rustystag7 said:Man, I totally passed out during Q3 and missed how Massa ended up finishing 6th. Can someone please explain what actually happened there???

I watched it twice and didn't see him having any issues at all. Even the announcers didn't mention anything, and he wasn't stuck in traffic either. Basically, there were just five guys faster than him, which landed him in 6th.

Jason Campbell70 said:is spamming posts🤣

So, when are we actually getting the official link for the live stream?😕

We'll find out once the race starts.

Back on that my2p site, they had a link for the live stream covering the Formula 1 broadcast on ESPN 2.
Just try to imagine how that was even working...🤣

darkmarlin16 said:I can't even begin to process this one. I’m totally lost. What are we even talking about here? Give me something to work with!

Hey, let's not spread misinformation here. 🙄
If you don't know what you're talking about, just keep it to yourself. ☕

Every single time someone asks where to find... No internet. You can catch the race on ABC! 🤣
It looks like RTL is only letting people stream live if they're actually based in Germany. Total bummer.

totally ate her words 😛

According to our commentators, this is only the second time the car has actually made it through to Q2 🤣
