Watch Kimi's onboard, after going off he continues in a straight line and the curve of the track brings him back on track. To turn left onto the grass would've been madnessISLAMATRON wrote:go straight thru the grass and not turn back in directly front of Kubica.
This discussion has nothing to do with LH, it is regarding Kimi's indiscretions and the stewards failure to act consistently.
So it was better to kit Kubica and damage his car?James wrote:Watch Kimi's onboard, after going off he continues in a straight line and the curve of the track brings him back on track.

4. R. Kubica - BMW Sauber F1.09
Got the jump on his team-mate at the start in a much better race for BMW Sauber.
"I managed to make a good start and was second after the first corner. I was surprised to see Kimi next to me going through Eau Rouge. Approaching the fifth corner he braked very late and went off. It is a very tricky place. He came back on the track right in front of me and I played it safe as we saw a lot of accidents there over the weekend. Although we had a slight touch, I was able to continue. At times we lacked a bit of speed but, of course, it is good to be fighting for podiums again. The result means a lot of points for the team and is good. Unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to achieve anything better. The result proves we are quite competitive on low downforce tracks, which is a positive sign for Monza. However, we have to analyse why the car was more competitive and felt better during qualifying yesterday.

Although the TV footage showed that the sport’s two new rookie drivers, Alguersuari and Grosjean, appeared to be more at fault for their respective collisions with two of the sport’s major stars, both youngsters felt there was little they could have done to avoid contact.
