Kanaan upset post-race

Anyone have a clue what Kanaan was so upset about after the race? He sped around on the cool-down lap, then could be seen confronting Michael Andretti.

Considering the pathetic showing by the whole AGR team, he had every reason to be upset. I'd be interested what he was specifically steamed about if anyone happens to know.

Tony just posted on Twitter :
"To clear things out here guys, I went to talk to Michael after the race about the strategy, nothing happen btw me and Marco."
Yesterday he said : "So tired and still very mad, could not twitt much today"

If someone can interpret Spanish for us (or maybe that's Portuguese, what do I know), maybe he revealed something with a little more passion in one of his other posts. http://twitter.com/TonyKanaan

Strategy can definitely be a factor for criticism, but the cleverest strategy will not put you up front and keep you there if your car is not right and AGR was 4 for 4 in the crapper Saturday night. 4 drivers with different skills and different styles finishing as far back as they all did is demoralizing and has got to make Michael stand up take notice that he has a monumental task ahead of him. I am a Danica fan no matter what but I am chagrined that she resigned with the team. I was hoping she could move up but she obviously knows better whassup from the inside than her fans do from the outside. It has been a disastrous year for TK and I hope better next year for both TK and DP.

Jim, I'm also a fan of Danica's and was hoping that she was going to sign with Ganassi. I find it kinda strange that no official announcement has been made by Andretti Racing regarding Danica> Could she be having second thoughts ?????

John, from what is out there publicly from Danica, her "people" (IMG) are working out the final details. I guess when all those details are worked out, she will make the announcement official. Not a peep from or about Ganassi.
