After seeing ING and the other Spanish Company dropping Renault, I thought of a novel punishment the FIA could of dished out to Renault. They could of said that they had to run a blank car at Singapore this year, with We're dirty cheats on it in Bright bold letters, in a couple of languages. Would of done more harm to them than any 2 year suspended ban will ever do

Go Hamilton. Won the race, even after disabling KERS after a couple of laps, turning it into ballast 8)

He never actually lost it in the car, the technicans advised him to turn it off and reset it as they thought there might be a potential issue so he only carried it not running for 1 lap during which time Nico begin to really close in.

Happy to see Timo on the Podium

So Nico closed in while Hamilton was trying to race and take instructions through the radio, while punching in a while lot of buttons to reset the KERS in his car.

Yeah, fair enough :P

I wasn't trying to put down Lewis's drivng I was jsut saying that he had Kers for 99.9% of the race so it wasn't like he won the race drivng around with a usless 24kg of ballest as it was working for him.

Now if his Kers had actually failed for the whole race then it would have got intresting

Ok question Time

What does Alonso bring to Ferrari that Kimi doesnt?

Alonso:
Drama, Scandal, The need to be number 1, Money (Thanks Santandar)

I can't see why they want him over Kimi, except for the one extra World title he hasn't done anything more speacil that Kimi and IMO he's not a better driver

Thoughts opinions?

if i was massa i would be nervous....
mainly coz of the shit that seems to stick to Alonsos team mates rather than him...
the only decent driver alonso has had in the same team recently was lewis, and we all saw what happened there.... will massa have the balls to front up and $&#$% him off?

No way Alonso is a better driver than Kimi, but as mentioned, I doubt Kimi's heart is in it anymore.

Kimi's heart left this year the moment he found out he was not going to be the driver next year, until Singapore he had been pushing the Ferrari as hard as it would go, but you could defantly notice a serious change in Sigapore suppose thought if they have told you they don't want you any more why would you try.

Revhead: Dead right about Alonso and shit not sticking the guys Teflon coated, Will be intresting to see what happens with Massa as Massa is still managed by Jean Todts son so will be intresting

I don't like McLaren but I hope that if Kimi goes back he spanks Alonso next year

read a good quote on weekend
"motorsport started when the second car was built, cheating started when the first rule book was written"
you know your cheating when you have to interpret the rules with a team of lawyers.
everyone does it
Max mosley said "thats the most innovative thing i've seen in motorsport in last 20 years" in regards to Toyotas 1995 WRC restrictor .

You want to get Raikkonen's interest back in F1 well Ferrari should give him a decent and more consistent car like they had 2 season's ago and then you'll see the real Raikkonen as for this season Ferrari just have'nt consistently been on the front row of the grid so hence you have only seen flashes of Raikkonen's brilliance.

Are you REALLY sure that Briatore made that ?
Let him have a REAL process.

No one else sees Max Mosley's rage after his nazi sex scandal?
