Kimi Raikkonen said the mechanical problem that took him out of the European Grand Prix had started to creep in even before he caught Fernando Alonso in the mid-race battle for second.

How much is the price of hydrolics on your part of the world?
Over here you can get regular hydrolics at over 3 bucks.

a comment by one of the Speed announcers after Kimi appeared to have run out of fuel:
"the last thing Kimi heard on the radio was a muffled voice which he couldn't recognize but obeyed anyway(MS got ahold of the radio transmission microphone) and he says to Kimi: go on Kimi you still have enough fuel for one more lap!"

but seriously, it is a bummer when a contender has to leave the race because of car issues so I for one feel bad for the Kim meister.

not hydraulics but horlicks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horlicks)... apparently they found more traces of white powder in the tank
