Re: F1 Live London - a bit short notice?

Wander what the real reason is lewis isnt there. Seb seems to make himself popular dispite his actions 3 weeks ago. That was a great entrance to the track from danny ric.

When a driver runs out of his 5 allocated engines before the end of the season, thus must have the sixth one, then he will receive 10-grid penalties in ALL remaining races, so not just 1 time penalty. In-case a driver must h...

It's the typical case that when you write a rule, you create a loophole. Whilst I applaud Mercedes for finding the loophole, this is really a case of them not acting in the spirit of a rule.

I have to say, I know Bernie is 82, but during that interview, that is the oldest I think he has ever come across. His speech seemed quiet and he just looked "old".

I like Bernie, he has done an amazing job for F1 but time and external factors looks to be catching up with him. :(
