i was really shocked with Kimi's lack of mmmm.. let's say braveness.. we seem to be missing the old Kimi, who would risk everything for P1, like the way he passed webber climbing the hill in last year's race. Some people may not like it, but i think Shumi would have done a better job in climbing up the field in that situation...
Rev limited cars this year remember, and the Merc engine last year was not slow...
Also did you even see Kimis amazing amount of understeer, his second sector times show how bad his car was handling, and yet once in clear air, he managed to lap 1/2 quicker than Massa
I watched the race, and live timing ( wrting down Hondas laps so obviously kept an eye on Kimis times etc ), Kimi did as well as he possibly could have.
He was unlucky with Nick after his stop slotting just in front because that cost him bags of time.
