Hey All,

All right go toyota! Be interesting to see how this plays out! Hopefully Kubica doesn't try to run over Trulli again. Also Vettel is right there. Great!

I like his attitude a guy not afraid to get his hands dirty - pays attention to technical stuff - knows his mechanics names - he has a long future and would probably make a good redneck.

Those Toyota's had some good speed in the previous wet race....good to see the drivers and teams all getting mixed up in the placings, adds a lot more interest for me.
 
Toyota made a mistake by starting on the harder tyres when they had a light car. The harder tyres were 0.7-1 second slower than the softer tyres. If they had started on the softer tyres then maybe they could have pulled a gap before the first stop. Now after the first stop they were on the softer compound, but were stuck in traffic. Trulli's first stop was better than Glock's first; Jarno came back in sixth (From second) but Timo dropped to P10 coming in from first position!
 
Hey All,

So I watched the race. The best part is of course the start when there are lots of cars vieing for position always fun to watch. Yeah Toyota just didn't get away well - tires I suppose but I just didn't get the sense they were real quick today. Still Trulli on the podium is great even though I bet he's disappointed and Glock must really be also. Good to see where Vettel finished as well.

Oh well Talledega next! This will be an interesting race and fun to watch. JPM could get er done if he finds somebody to work with.

Ferry if you rarely watch NASCAR make Talledega one you watch.
