This is just a game for them.
Or, they're having great reliability because the KERS system might hurt some motors.
Either way, Red Bull is on top.

Horner said that Newey wasn't prepared to tolerate the suboptimization of the weight distribution that would result.
I didn't know KERS was optional but apparently it is optional.

I seriously doubt Kubica would have done much better than 3rd, himself - part of what allowed Petrov past Button is that Button wasn't really paying much attention to him. If it were Kubica, he would have been blocked more actively. No-one will let Petrov by like that again.
GREAT drive by Petrov. I've added him to my Fantasy team and ditched Rosberg, who was worthless all weekend.

I think Petrov represents a significant new talent for F1 and Renault. Of course the Russian rookie driver is full of DNF's, but he has also completely out dueled Alonso and Schumacher on a few very exciting occasions, and made Hamilton stretch his limits. Petrov is a F1 rookie who regularly shows considerable talents and even moments of brilliance along with a raw enthusiasm that completely ignores the current F1 hierarchy. And he seems to bring some serious Russian money! Renault should give him one more year and then evaluate what they have. His high driving energy and refusal to be bettered by his 'betters', may be the start of a real winner

Even a completely broken clock will have the correct time twice a day. Da?
