I don't know how ANYONE can laugh at that. Honestly. Think about the disappointment a driver feels right now.

I don't find it funny at all actually. Thats just not even fair on any level.

It wasn't a laugh specifically, more of a punch of the air and YESSS!!!

As for the fuel rigs, obviously the temperature etc was specifically causing the issues, guess it certainly should be a one off.

Think I shall go and have a barbeque now.....

Whatever man.
I really don't care, because we know who drove the best in this race, by far.

Yeah, Timo Glock.

Glock for sure, Lewis had a dodgy start and overdrove his tires by the looks of it.

Sounded like Massa had had a rocket pre race anyway from his team and I guess he owed Hamilton from Hockenheim so he did a good job early on, but I think when we look back over the list of F1 Champions in years to come Massa's name will not be there.

You may find yourself surprised Nick. I mean you apparently can tell the future. So surely you know the list of champions to come.

Timo did do a brilliant job, and I don't even think raikkonen did that great. Massa was easily the star here, proving he can drive a great race, and that he can overtake.

Not sure where you got "from his team". Raikkonen had the option to setup his own car as well. Massa got the setup right, and proved he's just as quick as anyone else on the grid, if not quicker.
