Yeah but how much of that was Webber's own doing? I know Mark can get some terrible starts but that looked like he missed a gear entirely. Did he say what went wrong?

Quoting Mark "Didn't have a clue what happened off the line, we've had 2 or 3 good starts in the last few races and then the lights went out and we're back to our normal tactics. So I'm not sure. We need to have a look at why they pop up every now and again so that was frustrating.
I'd say Gremlins in the RBR gearbox. At least it wasn't his that completely shat itself this time

This weeks nomination isn't a driver but the track marshalls at the WSBK round at the Nurburgring on the weekend.Race 1 was red flagged with a couple of laps to go after Johnny Rea & Leon Camier had massive crashes due to incompetent track marshalls.
[fast forward to 43.28]
What happened was a back marker blew an engine and fell off.He was gone by the time the leaders came around but there was no flags warning them of oil.As it happens the marshalls were lucky not to be injured or killed when Rea's bike demolished then fence and a few seconds later Camier's bike flew over the fence.

That was scary. It never ceases to amaze me how more bike racers don't get injured or killed.

I hope Romain wins his own award this year by cannon balling into Vettel at the first corner to at least make the race the least bit interesting

Is Grosjean turning his reputation around enough to maybe get rid of his name off this thread title?

Give it time,he'll bonehead again before seasons end
He needed a year to get the GP2 style of driving out of his system, and has now come good this year. Will only keep improving and if Lotus can continue to improve their car, I would suggest that his maiden F1 win will come sooner rather than later

I'm glad he seems to be coming good. It was painful being a Lotus supporter back when he thought he was in a demolition derby.
