I criticised Robbie Kerr in the past, but I have to say well done Robbie on your Pole. Very good driving, just need that win from it now. Go Robbie.
I have posted this in the Indonesia Round thread, but he deserves praise this time. |

Great job from Robbie Kerr!

good - lets hope the grid gets messed up and let robbie get away with an easy 1st win. All he needs is that first one, then i'm sure the results will come flooding in

i'm sure robbie would like to win on his driving skills than win the race just because the rest of the field tangled on the start line which left him the only car in the race. that said GB needs some luck or act of god to win a race anyway.

Team GB have NO luck at all - but why didn't he get the call to come into the pits in time? i.e. he was already past the pitlane entrance?!??

Gutted.
Robbie deserved that win so much, i just don't understand why he seems to have so much bad luck. He had obviously sorted the gremlins on his car from the sprint race... and well, I cant explain how gutted i feel for them! |

Yes, the strategy did seem rather weather-dependent. And we all know the last thing you can depend on is the weather...

Well, either Robbie didn't hear/ignored the call or the team are crap (again - the air hose last race was a joke!)

Not hearing the call would be bad luck...
Also, that bloke on TV said he may have been already past the pitlane entrance, so in that case it would have been bad luck too ... or the team being slow |

The teams know when the safety car is put on standby so Team GB should have been ready to act. Missing pit calls happens in every championship all the way up to F1 so it could be a case of bad luck, but not pitting during the other safety car periods as they were holding out for rain was just sloppy as it sacrificed a solid points position.

Help from another driver
I believe a British driver who competes in the Asian F3 series and a friend on Ananda Mikola helped Robbie over weekend. However who was at fault? The team or Robbie? Sky Sports (Andy and Kieth) seem to put the blame on Robbie!

When i watched the race Robbies engineer said that he thought the call came too late and that Robbie wouldnt have seen the safety car till he was past the pit lane entrance. - How could this be his fault. Im not to sure but i thought all of the driver radio's were 1 way so if he decided to come in without the team knowing he would have caught them on the hop. I think the reason why they decided not to get him in on the next safety car was due to thier feeling that there may be rain due which was a less risk strategy than putting him at the back of the pack of bumber cars. |

Weak men believe in luck!
Robbie has the pace and talent to win races and should have done by now but neither him or the team seem completely switched on all the time and this leads to mistakes like we have seen today, in Durban and pretty much all season! |

Stuart Hall used it reporting on Five Live yesterday - I liked it so thought I'd use it appropriately here!
Any feedback please send to BBC Studio's not me! |

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
South Africa were right to chance it, starting last as they did. GBR dropped the ball big time this race, they had a chance to claw a lot of points back and blew it totally. Thought Robbie drove well today, just a shame his team let him down. I think they should take a trip to Mr Dennis's palace and take a few lessons in strategy....

I was screaming during the second long safety car peroid just over half way! They should have brought him in then for sure. Not Robbies fault again, the team let him down.
