mikathegreat2 2 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 , but the sun is peeping it's blinding, hot face out so I hope the track should dry out soon so we can watch some racing & Winkelhock's debut lead in a Spyker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No they are out sadly Even worse Hamilton is technically 1 lap down Crazy! EDIT : Winkelhock is indeed the leader... from Live Timing (how they stopped over the line its): Winkelhock Massa Alonso Webber Coulthard Kovalinen Raikkonen Wurz Barrichello Fisichella Kubica R. Schumacher Sato Trulli Heidfeld Davison -1 Lap Hamilton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuskor 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 This is shaping up to be very exciting. Sunny now and track temperature rising, tyre choice should be a major gamble. Light wet or take a chance with slicks? Raikonen has added some more fuel. What about Hamilton being lifted back on the track? He had the engine going but I don't think I've ever seen that happen before. Swedish tv are saying that you can receive "manual help" back on the track if you are in a safe place, which one might argue that was not the case with many cars off at the same place and liugi just touching the tracktor after going off but I wonder if that is a direction to the marshals when they can provide help or if it means grounds for disqualfication.

Halfie 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 How crazy is this? It's supposed to rain again just when they start!! LOL - I was about to ask how you knew it... I just heard too 12 minutes away! Regarding Hamilton, he is able to receive help if he is in a dangerous position (evidentily he was)... The same happened to Schumacher some years ago (I think at this race actually). I like that, as Brundle pointed at, Safety Car driver saw Toro Rosso coming behind him out of control and accelerated out of the way! This could be the strangest F1 race in history. News: Hamilton is not a lap down... I think there is a point here as it goes to the previous lap... Therefore Winkelhock would not have passed him on the track lapping him I guess.
