I'm sure there will be security staff to prevent blatant abuse such as throwing. I love it personally! What a great view. I'd love to watch the race from there!

jimmyj

Thanks for the clarification

jimmyj

If the rumours are true - no. He (Webber) may be starting from the back of the grid for missing his weigh in. Just saw this also. I guess this is further proof of my inability to predict race results. If he does get sent to the back, he's done. It sure would be interesting to see how Mark does from...

jimmyj

Argh. Why would he do such a thing? Surely he knows the process.

jimmyj

I'm a fan of Webber but last week was a disaster for him and I was thinking about the pressure he must be under to perform this weekend. Mark sometimes seems to react to pressure with a good showing like his famous "how was that from the #2 driver performance." The RB's certainly seem to have the pa...

Being a huge NASCAR fan, Gordon and Bowyer have had several on-track incidents this year, most of which ended up with Gordon getting the worst end of the deal. He was just fed up, but clearly overreacted. NASCAR race control then butchered the finish because they left the green flag out with a bunc...

Here is the link. Who knows how long it will stay up though.

Voted for Webber. As for Rosberg and Karthikeyan's case. Its hard to call. Karthikeyan's car suddenly slowed down and halted and of course with a tailing Rosberg, he cound not react on time this it wasn't Rosberg fault at al. I agree and don't think Nico had a chance. Racing incident for sure. Luck...

jimmyj

Based on the votes, it's clear that it's neither Lazenby or Dalton! LOL

jimmyj

I selected Webber because he should be better than what we saw today.

jimmyj

Ok, I give up. "Uncle..."

Got to say I'm amazed at the reaction on this thread. Even Mary Whitehouse wouldn't got this worked up. Chill the fudge out! I think the reaction is just plain discussion, not a big fuss. I am very interested in learning about whether or not the people who pull the strings regarding F1 care. I don'...

Do any of you know if driver contracts have stipulations for public behaviour? I am pretty sure they do in hockey and nascar but don't know about F1. (Since they've added them in Nascar the sport has suffered in my opinion as there are no more strong driver personalities - mostly white bread now sad...

jimmyj

I don't think there's any need to over-react. Such things happen on live TV sometimes. The drivers will be given a reminder not to do it next time, and that's all there is to it. What you say is very sensible, and I admit that is what I'd like to see. But, I wonder who pulls the strings about this....

jimmyj

The FIA has to do something in response to appease advertisers and TV networks. Yes I know I can hear the same language on television every day, but those are usually private programs. I think the lads are going to get a reprimand, probably financial.

What penalty for spelling "foul", "faul" ?

Or fowl....

I know this has been discussed before but WHAT the heck!?. Mark is a fantastic driver but there has to be a solution to this.

Ain't that the truth! Wow. Really enjoyed the action and drama today. The outcome was exciting also.

jimmyj

By the way, the worst part of the ceremony was DC's white slacks.

jimmyj

Agreed. That's poor form by both of them. Thumbs down.

jimmyj

Aye carumba! The Fbomb! What is going to happen next??????

Now that is FUNNY!

Wow I can't wait to see Kimi take 1st place. (that said in a stroke of pure brilliance I traded away Seb and Red Bull for Lewis and McLaren in my race pool this AM. LOL....).

Go Kimi

jimmyj

No one has predicted a podium for Vettel. I would have thought at least one person.

This is going to be great!!

jimmyj

Agreed. Unless Vettel is wrecked he's going to wrap it up. Exciting though!

jimmyj

Hmmm, perhaps.....

jimmyj

I voted Hamilton for the same reasons as hamilonsomacher. That's considering if it was a qualy lap. If it was a race lap, I'd be unable to pick between Vettel and Hamilton.

jimmyj

He drove brilliant really. But it's still a long way to go to the title. Ferrari / Alonso are very close and they still have a real chance at the championship. Redbull cars needs to be bulletproof from a reliability point of view and Vettel keep on winning. As Grosjean took out Alonso, someone or s...

Ha ha ha. Sorry....

Emotionally I'm with you all the way. I'd love to see Schumi on the podium! But my head says "I don't think he can pull it off and why would Sauber take the chance?"

It's interesting to see how Kimi has done since he rejoined vs how Michael has done. It it just the car?

jimmyj

Great thread!

I'm amazed by all of this technology. How do they respond to the disruption to air caused being in traffic vs open track? Doesn't all this planning and work become undermined by the "dirty air" or do they run different settings in traffic?

jimmyj

I do feel badly for him, but my patience has run out. There's too much consistency for his incidents to just be bad luck. I think Lotus will look after this for us by giving his drive to someone else next year.

jimmyj

I was so pleased to see him on the podium! And in his home country to boot, fantastic. He's had some bad luck lately and yet he still keeps working very hard. It's nice to see it pay off.
The crowd response to the podium was great too! Genuine good feeling for their race hero.

Nice!

jimmyj

Thanks for the info re: the stewards. I recorded the race and have replayed the start over and over and really can't see what happened to Nico. Looks to me like it would have been almost unavoidable with a big pack of cars approaching an accident. Surely one will hit the back of another who's onto t...

jimmyj

Didn't Rosberg say during an interview during the race that he was hit while taking avoiding action from the Grosjean/Webber incident? IF that was the case then Senna's penalty should not be as severe because it was all trying to avoid the turn 2 carnage and was just unlucky. That's quite a good po...

jimmyj

I also enjoyed that race very much. The energy at the podium ceremony was great also. I loved the Perez result, although for pure sentiment it would have been nice to see Massa on the podium with Alonso.

jimmyj

Sorry just seen a different angle and Maldonado jumped the start. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyspRJ9idfI Well there certainly is no doubt after seeing that. Amazing how the low angle obscures his preliminary movement. I doubt that any driver could get such a jump without an early start. Thanks ...

jimmyj

Gimme a break rocket boy. Just being polite.

jimmyj

Personally I think a break is a good idea but always wondered if it would be better to fit a number of races in to the summer period because it is often a time where more people are able to holiday and could visit more flyaway races. Yeah but if it's summer here it's winter on the other side of the...
