That was not the fault of Grosjean there, but Perez. Come on, you don't drive directly back into the track like that.

Dj_bereta · Post by **Dj_bereta** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:21

Grosjean involved in a incident that will cost Raikkonen's win. I see someone fired in next year.

If Vettel hadn't put in that sprint before his pitstop, he would have ended up in that mess too.

Racing incident over there, no need to stick more pitchforks into Grosjean.

I'd actually put the blame on di Resta, for his roddy move on Perez. Him forcing Perez outside started the whole mess in the first place.

Bit of a demolition derby out there today!

Stuff this, if Ricciardo doesn't at least get into the points to make a good result I'll just give up on the entire bloody season.

I'm starting to think one of the Scoreless Six might score here.

I LOVE Kimi's radio chat!

Paul Hayes · Post by **Paul Hayes** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:24

Do you think we could have a channel that's just Kimi Raikkonen's team radio...?

S951 · Post by **S951** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:24

haha kimi your awesome

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:25

Engineer: "Keep working all four tyres Kimi, keep wor-"
Raikkonen: "Yes,yes,yes,yes, I know, I'm doing all that"
:lol:

GwilymJJames · Post by **GwilymJJames** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:26

Pic is NOT the Scoreless Sixer who will score. Schumi bumps Kovy into the money spot, although Perez should take it off him.

Fetzie · Post by **Fetzie** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:27

Team Radio: "kimi, make sure to get all 4 tyres to temperature"
Kimi: "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes I'm doing all of that. You don't have to remind me every single time"

How I've missed Raikönnen's team radio in the last couple of years.

perez stop go kova in 12th how long?!?

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:29

Well done Martin, you noticed Di Resta was 10th - about 4 minutes after he got there :roll:

Ferrarist · Post by **Ferrarist** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:30

Urm, did the marshalls watch a different race? It was di Resta who forced Perez off the track, YOU IDIOTS!

Benetton · Post by **Benetton** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:31

Kimi Raikkonen, gold.

I don't think so. Looked like Perez forced di Resta onto the green stuff and then went back into the track. Grosjean and Webber were innocent victims.

pasta_maldonado · Post by **pasta_maldonado** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:33

Perez takes his stop,stop,stop,stop,stop,stop,stop,stop,stop,go
Now hopefully Maldonado'h will resurface to take out Vettel

S951 · Post by **S951** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:41

chances of someone ahead of kova retiring in next 5 laps?

Fernando is faster than you.

woo hoo! 8th Winner EYTL's blog worked! Great result

GwilymJJames · Post by **GwilymJJames** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:50

Now, just to check, did someone write something about how we weren't going to get an 8th winner this season...?

Cynon · Post by **Cynon** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:51

Nobody in the Lotus pit wants to give RMN GRJN a hug.

I feel bad for him.

Benetton · Post by **Benetton** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:51

Kimi Räikkönen!

Fetzie · Post by **Fetzie** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:51

screams of joy and celebration on the team radio, kimi answers totally deadpan: "great job, thanks guys".

GwilymJJames · Post by **GwilymJJames** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:53

Kovalainen fails to get the 12th place Caterham needed. Still, never mind, Tony, you still have QPR.

Oh.

Ubik · Post by **Ubik** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:54

See???

Kimi's not interested in all this lets-all-hug-each-other bollocks!

Good man!

Whatever he does, he does it good!

In all seriousness I actually thought Kimi had wasted his best shot at victory in Bahrain

Barbazza · Post by **Barbazza** » 04 Nov 2012, 14:57

Can we forget IIDOTR (maybe ROTR as well given how many contenders there are) and just have a LBOTR and give it directly to Vettel?

Pleased that Kimi won but shame he couldn't have done it a different race so that Alonso could get the win!

Yes. Because he's Kimi Raikkonen.

He wasn't even interested in raising his voice for the 'well done, thanks guys' routine. The world would implode if he actually hugged someone.

Great race. Excellent drives by Kimi, Vettel, Alonso, Pastor, Kobayashi and Button.

Post by **Ataxia** » 04 Nov 2012, 15:01

Was there a race on?

I joke, of course. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire race. Super job, Kimi. I've been waiting for that.

14 Hundred Hours · Post by **14 Hundred Hours** » 04 Nov 2012, 15:01

Kimi must be gutted he won a race where there's no actual champagne!

Ferrarist · Post by **Ferrarist** » 04 Nov 2012, 15:02

Kimi looked like he didn't have a clue that there was rose water in his bottle. :lol:
