Poor Heikki
In Hungary
Finns can only get better

Kovi has had lousy luck so far - some of his own making, we admit - so it’s about time he caught a break. With Mercedes boss Norbert Haug hinting this week that Heikki will keep his seat in 2009 - “It can be assumed that Kovalainen is staying with us,” Haug told German press agency dpa - this is the Finn’s chance to show how good he really is.

More fuel for the anti-McLaren conspiracy theorists

Part of Kimi Raikkonen’s exhaust fell off during the French GP, but should he have been allowed to drive round with it hanging off in the first place? It could have flown off in any direction. Worst case scenario: it hits another driver, or a steward, or a spectator.

Okay, the chances of that happening are very slim indeed, but why do we get the nagging feeling that had it been a McLaren, then different action may have been taken? Hmm… (strokes beard pensively)

Charlie Whiting should have at least ordered a black-and-orange flag, forcing Kimi into the pits; some might say the Ferrari driver deserved to see a full black flag.
