I agree. Was blatant cheating, then they obviously lied about it after... double foul!

........only getting a 100 million dollar fine.

yea because everyone knows that 100 million isnt much money.

I have no respect for the ferrari team at all, they seem to get treated with a completely different rule book to the rest of the teams, seem to always get the "just don't do it again" punishment

100 mill in a sport where it used to be a open chequebook it isn't if you take Toyota's budget over 10 years probably ran 4-5 billion if not more but I think I'd be in the ball-park though 100 mill was pocket money I compare F-1 and money to NFL and MLB baseball and F/ball teams there recession proof.The Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones built the new Texas Stadium 2008-2009 right in the middle of the recession and spent 1.1 billion.....

Second that where do you watch Super GT I'm assuming this Japans Super GT not the local Super GT though I also do enjoy watching that also.

Just to clarify, you are refering to the latest fine ferrari got given for the supposed "team orders" when you say $100,000,000? If so you put an extra set of 000's on there. The fine was $100,000 USD.

Seeing as theres so many Ferrari fans here , I thought they may want to help pay Ferraris fine.

Ferrari have just released a simulator called "Ferrari Virtual Academy"
I beleive it is similiar to the Gran Turismo academy, you race online to set the best lap times, then the fastest win prizes, test drives (although a doubt you get to drive a real F1 car).

Will probably fork out for it at some stage seeing as I a sucker for F1 games.

Well..... What can I say. GUILTY! but no punishment.

[Jdawg]

[quote="Mr Revhead"]I disagree very very strongly.
Ferrari have done, and are still getting away with murder.[/quote]
So are McLaren, who are way better at cheating.
Look at the last race where Button chugged along so Hamilton could take the win. And in turkey where they used the 'running out of fuel' excuse.

they all do it

[Mr Revhead]

Ha! Yeah right

[JustinSpiderholden]

All team bend the rules, its just some where slightly more obvious than others

The ones that are straight up and open about it shouldn't get fined. HRT must be being employed by one of the other teams to be so shit so maybe that should be looked into?!

No I realise the Ferrari fine was only 100 K.which really is pocket money for these teams.

I found Monza quali quite good last night I just can't believe the average speed per lap round there is about 160-165 odd mph and taking the paribolica at almost 300 KPH.

Spa is still my favourite F-1 track though but if they ever chucked the north loop of the Nurburgring in as a F-1 track I think that would be my favourite in fact I think that North Loop Nurburgring track is the best on the planet.

[Mr Revhead]

Yeha Spa ftw! But Monza is a bit mad! Taking those corners at such speed and notice the line is right on the outside of the turn, one little wiggle and it's into the wall!

Looks like an interesting contest tonight with a Alonso Vettel Hamilton front row.

[Sideros]

I thought that was an awesome race. Pity webber didn't get a big penalty for causing that accident.

[callum]

Personaly I don't think Hamilton had completed the pass.

[Mr Revhead]

I haven't seen the replays.... But the articles I read have all said he was well in front and Webber slightly out braked himself?

[Scrunty]

Although Webber was probably struggling to make the corner I don't think he deserved a penalty for that, was a racing incident as I hams hadn't completed the pass.

A few rounds ago I had lost hope on my pre-season Alonso TAB bet, then BAM two wins and he jumps from 5th > 2nd 11points behind!

Also thanks to Kubica for keeping the race interesting near the end

[2jayzgte]

No I agree with the stewards on this one I don't think Hamilton was far enough past and Webber was committed he wasn't just going to let Hamilton stroll round the outside.
