satire is all very well, but it seems to me that thinly veiled accusations of racism are counter productive if you are trying to make a point - playing the race card drowns out other, surely far more valid points.

less than an hour to go..... and its currently raining at Monza!

by **2jayzgte** » Mon Sep 15, 2008 8:43 am

Awesome result for Torro Rosso and Vettel.Hamilton also showed supreme confidence in the wet though his final position did'nt indicate how well he drove.Raikkonen for me was a huge dissappointment setting the fastest laps when it did'nt matter.Ohh well bring on Singapore 1 point in the drivers championship and a handful in the constructors it still a extremely close call.

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Sep 15, 2008 7:44 pm

oh what a race!!

awesome result!
the last few laps i was just waiting for a mechanical failure..... but it held!

certainly a few upsets in the results!

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 5:54 pm

so who watched it? i got up to watch it
glad i did was a good race!

Ferrari certainly choked on that one....
i think massa learned a new word today.
KARMA :lol:

final session in qual was pretty intense.... results wil make for a good race!

something amusing i found

by **Mr Revhead** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 7:36 pm

well certainly not the result i was expecting....

down to the last two races now....

my money still on hamilton to take it out... if he doens go nuts like he did today! still, a bit harsh getting penalized for that first corner!

He really seems to be trying his best to screw it up again like last year. Would absolutely die laughing if him and Massa both keep hitting the self destruct button, and Kubica sneaks in there, would be gold.

by **2jayzgte** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 7:40 am

Yeah i really don't think he needed to do that in the 1st corner but again Ferrari are trying to shoot themselves in the foot.I don't think Massa's upto the challange and as already stated its still Hamilton's championship to lose.I love the look across Raikkonen gave Hamilton on the start line that possibly caused the melt-down in the 1st corner.

by **thornz** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 8:29 am

And nwo to top of the race wekend, Bourdais has been handed a 25 second penalty for the incident with Massa! WTF! This championship has turned intoa farce with crap stewarding decisions! Seriously, you really do have the wonder if the F in F1 stands for ferrari. Even though I am a Ferrari fan more than a Mclaren fan, this is just a f*n joke.

by **Scrunty** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 8:53 am

Oh thats rough...

by **fivebob** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 10:43 am

Yeah, I can't see what Bourdais did wrong. He just held his line when he was racing for position and Massa turned in on him

I guess he broke the "Give way to red cars" rule :evil:

As for the Hamilton penalty I can't see that was any more than a racing incident that happens at every first corner, but I suppose they had to give Hamilton a penalty to keep him behind Massa and out of the points. Gotta love the way Massa complained that both Hamilton and Bourdais were to blame for the incidents.

Seems that for the last couple pf years the racing happens on the track and the FIA then decides what the results are going to be, can't say it adds anything of value to F1, even if you are a Ferrari fan. :roll:

by **Mr Revhead** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 7:04 pm

its getting beyond stupid....
the last two years have seen the most competitive on track racing that we have seen in a long while.

but the FIA keep interfering...

by **2jayzgte** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 5:17 pm

Another thing I thought was BS was the Ferrari mechanics jumping up and down looking happy when Massa spun Hamilton I thought that was utter BS.Can't beat him on the track so take him out.

On the other hand I thought if Ferrari were really cunning I thought Raikkonen could have just turned in on Hamilton at that first corner and it would have been game over for Hamilton and then Massa would have grabbed some more free points.

well the french gp is toast
so is canada
FIA looking at making F1 effectively a one make engine class.....

WTF

i have never felt F1 should be the pinnacle of technology, ie iv never liked driver aids, but i have ALWAYS felt that there should be different engines
hell, i didnt like it when they dictated the number of cylinders an engine had to have....

Bernie has to make way for Abu Dhabi and India somewhere in the calendar and with Bernie it's all about the colour of your money.

If they go through with the one make engine for all cars. It will be the end of F1 as we know it. Can you imagine Ferrari, or any of the other car manufactures involved in F1 running with a engine branded by someone else? It just defeats the purpose of them being there. Imagine a Ferrari F1 running a Mercedes (or any other manufacturers) powerplant, I think that'll happen the day hell freezes over.

Actually on second thoughts, with the F(errari)IA in charge, it would be Ferrari engines for everyone.
