As I was watching the qualifying, the last part of Q2 was really something I could not come to terms with. Lot of reasons, some for you: 1. Massa never ever expected something of this sort, 2. We had just written an obituary for Henry Surtees (He also never expected a tyre from somewhere) 3. To imagine 800 gram shock spring to remain in air for such a long time defies Gravitational pull(sic)

It had already been a very memorable Hungarian GP weekend after Felipe Massa's horrific crash, and then the 2008 form book returning in the race with Mclaren and Ferrari finishing 1-2.However when Renault's suspension for the next race was annouced it was certainly a big surprise. A race ban is a very severe punishment indeed.

Since the first entry for Red Bull at the top of Motorsports, I was skeptical of their aims. Sure the fun factor would be there, the funky branding design is among the best to ever show on an F1 car, and the parties they hold in the paddocks I heard are some of the best, Ever.
