A bit of smoke is normal at the start. Hmmm Ralf lost 3 places at the start and he had the advantage of an empty space in front of him :roll:

I saw it, and like I said, it's normal, well at lest for the Toyotas, I've seen it in a few of the GPs this year.

Here come the Red Cars Mr Revhead...

KIMI KIMI KIMI...... 8) :D

Right that does it no more predictions for me I was'nt even close.

At least Ferrari are making it interesting..

They seem to have a little edge over Mclaren at the moment.

But still need to keep winning as those damn Mclarens live on the podium. :evil:

As for Toyota well my predictions were completely wrong but whats new right guys... 8O :D

Personally i can't believe Mclaren would be stupid enough to use the info, so i think its just going thru themotions type of thing.

And also i think it might also be a case of Ferrari being sour pusses since they're not winning & they're leaning on the FIA to try distract Mclaren so they can catch up in both championships.
I've never really like Ferrari, them & Schumacher just have never seemed to be fair sports. I know Micheals out now, but Ferrari just seem to be arrogant & complain like little girls when they see something they don't like.
I wish Mclaren etc had kept up there threat of forming the rival Grand Prix series, would of made it interesting in this situation

its an eveil plan by bill gates to weaken the 2 leading teams to make his entry next year more competitive :twisted:


it seems pretty obvious that somewhere along the line some documents have ended up where they shouldnt have.

i guess its just a matter of the FIA working out if they were used or not.

the thing that scares me is a court in modena is involved....

I agree to a extent about Ferrari and some of there antics in the past.But without them F1 would be a sad competition I mean though Ferrari have'nt been winning in the 2 or 3 years they are the only team on a consistent basis in the last 10 years that have been round and about.

If we look at this year for example if Ferrari were'nt around Mclaren would win the championship and constructers in a cake walk so while Ferrari might have there moaning moments the sport really needs them to be there or maybe some of these other teams need to make a giant step to catch up as at the moment F1 is a 2 horse race unfortunately.

As for the cheating allegations well for the sports sake I hope nothing comes of it as again if Mclaren does get hammered for cheating F1 becomes a precision with Ferrari being a clear victor.

Well, seeing as how they're all going to have to run Microsoft ECUs next year, his plan is already in place and everyone have to reboot on the start line. Good thing the drivers will ony have to reboot to fix a crash ;)

Actually they're just Microsoft branded TAG ECUs, so I guess they will suit McLaren more than most.

the thing that scares me is a court in modena is involved....

Scary enough for Stepney to leave Italy. Italian courts are well known for their on brand of justice and like to stick their noses where they don't belong, e.g. Senna's crash at Imola.

They're only involved in the charges against Nigel Stepney at this point in time, and Coughlan has secured an agreement that the affidavit that he file in the civil case in London cannot be used in the Italian proceedings. At this stage McLaren isn't involved in any of the legal proceedings, just the FIA hearing.

I'd bet they'll bet 9th & 10th before the first corner if Hamilton starts from P10

Tell me about it! The car was a wreck! Although I'm surprised it stayed as straight as it did, even for hitting the tyre wall at the speed it was doing.

After watching the replay, it reminded me of Hammonds crash! With the tyre seperating and locking up of the wheel. Nasty!
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

adamal, the rim failed causing the tyre to deflate, if you look closely you can see the tyre is intact
