Quote from BreadC :kobakaze love that name!!! should be his nickname xD

hes fkn pure win

Also often used is the mix with his forename:

Kamuikaze

Nice race, little bit of boredom in the middle, but worthy enough to get up to.
For those that can't see why Massa wasn't penalised look at the photos a little closer. Rosberg was moving right to get past Sutil this forced Massa onto the grass. Not Massas fault.

Petrov on the other hand just cut straight across Hulkenburg.

Quote from BlueFlame :I think Petrov was unlucky, he was almost clear of Hulkenburg when (Heidfeld?) came over the front of him and he was forced left a bit. Still quite a rookie mistake. Great race from Kobayashi as per usual!

im with blueflame. petrov looked like he was squezzed left and hulk was goin right
#131 - CSF
Yep looks that way to me. Poor call from Alex Wurz, but given his record I am not all that surprised.

If you can find BBC's Post Race Forum from somewhere, then it includes replays of start
PM me if you can't find
Cheers, but "that media is not available in my territory".

It's a bit of a cheap cliché to refer to attacking Japanese drivers as kamikaze.

I think he is quite a clean racer.

He just has excellent racecraft and is not afraid to use it.
toro rosso move was payback as kobayashi divebombed and hit torro rosso once too :P

Jaime sure tought him a lesson.

He could've, y'know, lifted instead of driving onto the grass at full speed on the inside of a corner.

Quote from aoun :2009 Point scheme.

Interresting to see that Button would clearly remain in contention for the title.

That said, I'm affraid the new point system only made it more difficult to do the maths during the race. Sure there are a few changes at the front, but that's not really significative since they're all very close to each other.

Winning gives more of an advantage but they didn't have to give out soo many points.
