Yes indeed, unlike that daft prick Christian Jones who can't differentiate between too slow, and plain slow.

yeah, that guy is a tool..... far to slow to be in that category. He's only racing cause his dad's involved in the team.
For anyone wonering where Will power was, he was driving indy car on the gold coast..... was taken out by his team mate too..... pretty poor race from team australia.
boy indy car sucks!

Terrible weekend for New Zealand. Had a 2 minute pitstop in the feature race for some reason that was never explained in the coverage - which put us a lap behind.
To be honest guys Davison didn't really have any carspeed but he kept out of trouble and had a smart strategy that got him high up after the pit-stops and then did a good job on really old tyres of fighting off the faster guys coming from behind... although Parente slipped by him to the delight of the home crowd. (all 5 of them it seemed - they really have to hope for better crowds once they get out of Europe).
Joss the Boss made himself aquainted with the gravel again in a dreadful attempt at breaking for a corner - and took out Germany with him.
France really are the class of the field at the moment and will be difficult to stop for the championship. Only Brazil seem to have a chance on pace, but Piquet Jr so far seems very incident prone. Stalled again on the grid of the feature race - then did a heroic drive to make back a lap and get into the points.
All in all the best round of the season so far I think. A good track and a lot of close racing. Cars actually looked pretty good on a track like that.
