McLaren takes the win at Austrailia!!!

David Coulthard is refered to by many names around this network...but winner is not one of them...until tonight. DC got down! He brought his MP4-17D to the lead quietly...no one even saw that he was there.
Least of all Juan Pablo Montoya. When Juan made a mistake and slid his FW25, David went cruising past with not so much as a "by your leave". David, in short...was David. He ran a perfect race...and brought home the gold for McLaren.
Kimi was another story. Pitting early and hoping for a break, Kimi fought his way to first place. Sadly, he was black flagged for speeding in the pit lane by .0225 mph. That's about the speed that the average slug has. In Lamens terms, it's like saying that a turtle took one extra step in a 10 foot walk. First, the FIA said that Kimi crossed the white line...which is illegal under any circumstance. When they couldn't pin him for that...they made up the speeding thing. Come on...how can you prove someone speeded by 1/100th on 1 kph? That's impossible...unless you time EVERYBODY in and out of the pits. I'm so sure that Michael NEVER went any faster than 1/100th of 1 kph through pit lane.
You'll also notice that when Rubens wrecked...no safety care came out..even though there was debris all over the track. BUT WAIT!!! Michael falls to 7th place!!! A Jag pulls over to the side of the road!!! OH MY!!! His tires are still BARELY Touching the pavement!!! PLEASE...stop the cars...bring out the safety car!!!! (so that Mike can catch up of course...I mean, we can't have Ferrari getting their ass kicked now can we?"
Michael's car has GOT to be illegal. He wore SO MUCH plank off it's rediculous. Even the commentators from Speedchannel said,"there is just no way that he can be legal...after working that car that hard and losing his barge boards, he's got to be under the limit."
He won't be. He's Ferrari. He's the FIA. No way will they find him Illegal. Not a chance. I bet right now, they're looking at DC and Juan and Kimi to find a way to get rid of them.
David...GREAT RACE...the second best I've ever seen you!!!
Juan Pablo...good race buddy...it should have been your win, but you have GOT to be a bit more patient.
Kimi...don't let it get to you. No one expected you to get a point starting from 15th...so count your blessings. You did great son...calm down. You'll do ok.
McLaren ruled the day. No matter what happens later on...today, for the first time in 3 years...McLAREN RULED THE WORLD!!!
