Team Midland’s Christijan Albers is just a bad a racer as Team Toyota’s Ralf Schumacher. Both kept running into their own teammates’ cars damaging them and ruining the team results. At least this time Albers was penalized for that unlike a few times where Ralf had hit then teammate Juan Pablo Montoya and now teammate Jarno Trulli and got away with it.
The penalty for Michael Schumacher’s yesterday’s qualifying run was just as uncalled for as it was for Juan Pablo Montoya in last year’s Monte Carlo race during the Safety Car period inside the tunnel where it was clear that it was Michael Schumacher that was at fault closing the race line on Montoya on the inside of the curve, yet Schumacher claimed he skeeted during his break warming/testing act (laws of physics dictates one skeets toward the outside of a curve not the inside). Michael might have cheated in yesterday’s qualifying run but where is the prove?! Slow motion video may look odd but in realtime, the car was moving very fast and the time was very short to have allowed for such a driving decision and therefore it can’t be proven beyond reasonable doubt.
Fernando Alonso is a safe driver but just a lucky B. He has no trick in his bag and he can’t even get pass his own teammate without yelling back to the pitt demanding for a move over order.
Tough luck for Raikonnen, Trulli, Heidfeld, Button and Rosberg. Hope their respective teams get their acts together and give them more reliable cars. Oh, yeah, for Webber too; but unlike others here, Webber is not that good a racer.
