re: The Official F1 Thread
Kovalainen is the perfect team player. Ron loves his Finn's too. He has also had more bad luck than anyone else in the field this year:
- Aus ... screwed over by the safety car (ironic cause Lewis was brought in early incase of safety car)
- Malaysia ... 5 place grid penalty ... but beat Lewis
- Spain ... that huge crash that saw him be knocked out resulting from the wheel fairing.
- Turkey ... Kimi's front wing punctured one of his tyres
- Monaco ... electronics problem stalled on the grid
- Canada ... team told him to drive slow because of tyre problems?
None of his bad luck as been a result of driver error.
Its not Kovalainen's fault that the team give Lewis the lighter fuel strategies. And we know what Kovalainen can do in a shit car too. Like Alonso said, at Mclaren they get equal equipment, but whether they get equal support is another thing. Which is ashame really, because in France, the team needs to be behind Kovalainen and not Lewis (we saw last year what a Mclaren can do, coming through the field at Mangy-cours, but then, Alonso is better than Lewis)...
