Australia's Driver of the Day

Post

I would have to say that Fernando gets my drive of the day, he was really aggressive at the start and then played defensive for the rest of the race. But I like to make a mention that JV did a hell of a job out there.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

I agree for fernando, but today's most spectacular come back were fisichella from 22 to 5 and jacques from 19 to 6!
Definitly not Jenson's day!

My vote goes to Alonso, he just plain stunk the place up. Once he pulled off a textbook pass on Button, he made himself untouchable, despite all the safety cars. He didn't do anything wrong all day, easily outperformed his teammate, and made a win look easy.

dave,

alonsa even said "this is easy" to his pit crew in the closing laps while kimmi was trying his hardest to chase him down. fernando's pit crew responded
"we're chillin here too".

renault looks miles ahead with racy cars and a racy driver. i hope they don't end up regretting pushing alonso back in sepang.

Well, of course Alonso did a very good job again, but my driver of the day in Australia award goes to: JACQUES VILLENEUVE!

Mine goes to Mr Schumacher, M. For a fantastic effort to try and prove he is human.

Yeah right. We've all seen Brawn plug in the recharger at pitstops.

Well I know I am in minority here but the my votw goes to Kimi. He really did try his best to close in on Alonso. Remember he set the fastest lap on the last lap.
Even Sato did a good job keeping Rubens behind for quite a while

Alonso for sure, he was untouchable despite all the safety car(though Midland's slow restart helps.... :roll: )

Sato get a mention, he was doing well to keep Rubens behind him for so long, but then again, if Barrichello has brake issue, it certainly will be hard to pass someone, you can't pass someone you can't outbrake....

That my friend is exactly why I would not want him in my team. Fernando set the fastest lap like 6 laps earlier and after that decreased his pace to save his engine. Kimi didn't appear to realise that and thought Alonso was in trouble. It's all very nice, but what if his Mercedes blows in Imola?

So, drive of the day, shared for Alonso and Villeneuve
