Wickham got him off the line starting on the clean side of the track behind Riccardillo* Brendon did have a go at Wickhams but the move didn't come off and he lost a bit of ground to the pair of them so it seems he settled in to jsut ensure that he brought the car home for a Poduim which is the first for that Team

Yeah Id say 3 or so more GP's and Vettel is going to be Champion again

That was retarded trying to pass on that hair pin. :?

Look at the lock on his steering wheel, there's no way he could have taken a tighter line to not shunt him by doing that.

What's that quote?

The luck reffered to in that quote is a bit different to having a red flag save your bacon :P

Something I just noticed, F1 finally managed to get almost a full grid of attractive pit girls. For what is supposed to be a bunch of attractive people, there have been some uglys of late.

And another thing, how does an angry midget like Bernie breed two ridiculously attractive daughters...

Justin, you seem to have a serious dislike of Group Lotus.

At the end of the day, Lotus-Renault is thrashing the Team Lotus in the championship, therefore Danny Bahar is currently acheiving his ambitions of beating Fernandes. He probably saved a bunch of money compared to Fernandes as well. Group Lotus as a whole wins because they get a whole bunch of publicity under the Lotus name. Maybe Bahar will sell now because the Lotus name will continue in F1 under Fernandes. Who really knows.

As a side note (I am getting good at these) what I want to see happen is for Caterham to buy the rights to manufacture the S1 and S2 elise and exige (when they are eventually sold) when Lotus starts to build there new shape heavy cars. Caterham was tipped as a potential buyer a while back, hopefully Lotus and Caterham wont throw the toys out of the cot.

When Hamilton tried to get past Massa at the hairpin on Lap 33, Massa simply closed the door. They replayed the footage from Hamilton's car and you can see Massa move his helmet to look in the mirrors. Then Massa took an unusually tight angle into the hairpin when Lewis was already launched into the move. Massa knew what was coming and he made the accident even worse

No real dislike of Group Lotus, jsut a deep seeded hate for Danny Bahar, I really want to see him fail

But its got to be coming shortly as he has now offended Max Mosley who is defantly not a man you want to get offside with, lieing about calling him in court under oath wasn't that smart Danny

Pretty sure he still fairly matie with the Midget

He may not have any power anymore but still not the type of man you say you had a 2minute phone call to about the future of your f1 amitions to in court under oath, only for Max to turn around and say the call never happened, plus phone records back this up as well in court. $&#$% it would have been gold to have seen Bahars face when he was shown to have been a lier

Wow oh Wow Danny Bahar is full of shit, make you wonder how much other crap is is spouting is all shit

Group Proton are getting veryy worried now they are spending alot of money but havn't got alot to show for it yet, jsut promises of 4 new cars and a massive 400mil+ bank loan

Last I heard Max was kinda surprised that Todt has a mind of his own and is doing a better job at F1 than he did.

I like Lewis Hamilton but it was the wrong place to pull that move he was just wasn't patient enough.I wish it was Hamilton and not Button chasing Alonso and Vettel I think that would have been a battle royal...

RBR look way to strong and I think outside of reliability issues this championship is over.

Will agree with you that Max doesn't have much power anymore

But he did a great job of proving to the World that Dany Bahar is a full of shit lier

What I mean by that, and what is meant by the quote,

Vettel has won the last however many races, and qualified first in this one.

A random throw of the dice put him in a position where he was more likely to win... but he put HIMSELF in the position, to make this random situation potentially favourable.

If a red flag or other random event favoured the guy who was coming last, who now ended up winning the race, THAT would be luck. :P

Yeah.
It is not certain that Vettal would not have won if not for the red flag.

Given how his tyres were compared to Alonso's, he held him off for a lot of laps, and still managed to keep in a position on track where he could defend position without making double movements.
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.

Mind you Alonso did say in the end if the red flag had'nt have come he thought he had saved enough with in his tyres to have a crack at Vettel whereas Vettel would have been holding on for dare life if they had kept going and the red flag hadn't have come out.
