ykickamoocow 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2007 I missed this race as i was busy testing out my new Go Kart. I was annoyed that i would miss the formula 1 but i didnt expect it to me a great race. Can someone explain to me how Coulthard managed to finish 4th from starting 12th. Im not ashamed to admitt that i didnt even expect him to score points today and i certainly didnt expect him to make the podium. Can someone explain to me Coulthard's race in detail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sato 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2007 Brazil 2001Hungary 2006 I think you mean Brazil 2003. 2006 Hungary wasn't luck either, Great drive from Button ffs. Coulthards position was all to do with Vettel taking out Webber + A few other incidents. He wasn't bad, but he didn't do anything special, or deserving of 4th, whilst Webber was faster than Hamilton and looking for a win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He wasn't bad, but he didn't do anything special, or deserving of 4th, whilst Webber was faster than Hamilton and looking for a win. Well i cant really argue with you as i didnt see the race. Though i thoroughly recommend people find a Go Kart which can go 100 kph (or 62 mph) and thrash it around a circuit for a couple of hours Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samfraser 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2007 Coulthard drove brilliantly. His experience was broaght to the fore as he showed exrteme skill in driving in those terribly difficult conditions. Did you see Coulthard go off the track in the race?? I don't think so! Hamilton = off the track Kimi = off Massa = off Alonso = off ....and the rest of them!! Well done for a brilliant well deserved 4th Coulthard!! Great Job Hamilton! You held it together...just!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still can't believe how biased those commentators are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
