sh@un

Just as tragic, but maybe even more avoidable

The steering column broke. Umm, that's about as dodgy as you can get

Williams-Renault does have a ring to... for the wrong reasons Senna died driving a dodgy one

give it a rest mang

exactment

Machiavelli would have briefly stopped blowing Satan to applaud both those efforts

"It's been four fu(king years! I took over Europe faster than this!!"

Schumi driving in to people to guarantee a WDC title, Schumi parking his car on the track at Monaco during quali to guarantee pole position Good race-craft?

totally had nothing to do with having a dog of a car for half a season

total playa (bingo that is)

wait, what? when did this Webber scandal break?

^ what He said

I thought she was his mum

I'm saying He wouldn't have moved back across track if Vitaly had nosed along side. He obviously knew exactly where Petrov was. To hear you tell the story, you'd think the Renault was closing on Hamilton like a Veyron coming up behind a 3-cylinder Daihatsu. The McLaren's have currently got the most straight-line speed of all the field anyway. Anywho, I'm over this now. Have the last word if you want.

In the usual drafting scenario, the chasing driver will pull out of the stream to attempt an overtake, and then the defending driver is allowed that single change of line in defence of his position; but here Hamilton moved first, and Petrov followed If He was close enough to overtake, why not just stay on line and drive past? There was more than enough space. It's not like Lewis would have driven in to Him if He'd pulled along side. It was Vitaly's decision to follow in Lewis's wheel tracks and stay in His mirrors. I wouldn't be inclined to really call it dangerous since it was well before the braking zone. At worst it was a little cheeky, but fair enough for the stewards to issue the warning.

loved it- looked great. shame He won't be able to get away with it again now He's been given a warning for it it's all been covered now, but He wasn't blocking Petrov as Vitaly wasn't anywhere near close enough to attempt an overtake, and wouldn't have been able to pass when pulling into clear air anyway

as you've read, Nismo indicates on their performance clutch kits that you can expect 6-speed 34/S15 gearboxes to make this sort of noise. It seems to be something normal due to the gearbox. Wouldn't worry about it.

all the truly revolutionary tech has been tried in the past and has been either adopted across the board or outlawed by the FIA- not much scope for major innovation anymore

and didn't he look happy about it in the post race interview. *chuckle* can't believe it didn't rain; f.o.m probably won't feel the need to look at changing this race's schedule next year

Sauber engine failure too- Could Ferrari be out of the WDC/WCC hunt towards the tail end of the season due to engine related grid penalties?

still up on bets this year?

ahhhhhhhhhHAHAHAHAHA suck ma diiiiiiiiiiiiiiick Alonso you greasy fag engine failure got me a sports bet win

I'm all for a bit of rain to keep things lively at the 'Pang, but i really hope the race doesn't get stopped before full distance

Read a good point somewhere else- Put this race next to the one in Singapore, and then there's much less chance of torrential rain and the teams save on transport costs

too fkn right; at least go out and set a time on some tyres that suit the track as is, just in case and then come back in if you like I really hope key team decision makers have absorbed a decent lesson from this bullshit
