Huh? I don't comprehend this...
Bourdais drove brilliantly in Melbourne, and was pulling away from the Kovalainen/Alonso battle before his engine detinated. How you could begrudge him points earned from that drive is mystifying to me...
Motor racing is full of instances like this - Webber owned Coulthard last season, but Coulthard ended up with more points. Coulthard is lauded for scoring Red Bull's first podium at Monaco - but many neglect the fact that his team mate Klien was in front of Coulthard when he was forced to retire.
I like to think that most sensible people can look past the numbers on a piece of paper to find the real story.
Anyway, these two have been pretty even so far this season. I don't think it is necessary to start proclaiming winners or humblings just for the sake of it - when they have clearly been quite level to date.
