"To do something well is so worthwhile that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy. It would be a waste of life to do nothing with one's ability, for I feel that life is measured in achievement, not in years alone.” Bruce McLaren (1937 – 1970).

I would be proud to have my record (i.e. the youngest driver to have the lead in the drivers championship) beaten by such a talent as Lewis Hamilton and would smile that he did it in my car.

It is still a safe bet that Hamilton will make a rookie mistake but if he continues at his current pace it should have little impact on his title shot.

What about Kimi, as Hobbes would say, “If it weren’t for bad luck, he’d have no luck at all”? I am not a fair weather fan and my girlfriend told me how nice it will be to know I stuck with him when he wins a championship, but an otherwise great race left me flat, again.

About the only thing I got right was Kubica catching his stride.

Well done Sato and Super Aguri.

I hope Alonso’s demeanor in the post race interview had to do more with his own disappointment than him believing Massa was at fault for his off in turn one. Alonso was lucky to have not collected someone on his return to the track and luckier to have finished at all.
