F1 BMW kicks out JV

First:

Congrats Button on the 1st win... Alonso or Kmi would of had it but due to lapses in their concentration - Button got his first win. A win is a win.

Then - BMW kicks out JV! Good move - I think JV was highly overrated as a driver and his driving style does not mesh with any other driver's style. BMW would of had a hard time trying to set up and perform future development on the car based on his driving technique.

However - Kubica is too inexperienced?

one of THE most exciting races i've seen in a long long time. I love the surprises that rain brings to a circuit. Good for Jenson for the win, it's been long overdue and good for Honda on their win.

This is going to be another well orchastrated FIA season nail biter

I think is was a bad move by BMW to fire JV. They should have let him finish the season. It's gonna be to much pressure for Kubica. Plus if they want prepare the car for next year I don't think Kubica will be able improve the car.

I don't know that they fired him. It seems like it was somewhat mutual after they couldn't assure him of a spot for all of the seasons races.

I agree about the race though. I love races in the rain as it always mixes things up and keeps things exciting. Side note... Schumi is such an idiot sometimes. He could have nursed the car home for like a 5th or 6th place finish, but he fights too hard and ends up 9th.(or 8th aftre Kubica got DQ'd
