I am not trying to take anything away from his race result, pace wise he drove brilliantly.
I think the car again flattered him though. The ease at which he passed peoples revealed just how much more car he had under him. He didnt have to even really fight for the places he gained, he rolled up behind them, and 3-10 corners later he was past. Thats why i am disgusted he was doing the school boy stuff he was.
When he got behind Massa he didnt have the car advantage anymore...and guess what, his so called brilliant race craft was where exactly? Like all drivers he is only able to extract from the car what it is willing to give. The other cars started working better and his progress stopped at Massa. Its not like Massa started to drive better then he was earlier in the race.
That all said, he is brilliant at getting on with the job, in difficult conditions. Where others need to feel out conditions and find out how mcuh car they have under him he just drives straight up to the limit as though he knows exactly where it is. It was a good recovery drive, but if he had off out foxed Massa then i woudl have openly admitted that he was brilliant rather then the car being brilliant
Anyway, my auctions just ended so off to sleep
