Honda could be doing well, but then again so should Toyota. Atleast with Toyota they seem to of partially realised some of the issues, and are busy trying to dig themselves out of the mess. It was a good move for them to remove the overly paid waste of space which was Ralf. Honda are wasting a fortune on Button, think I read recently he was the third highest paid driver in F1 which lets face it is utterly insane. Cut the waste, and get it on the car.
Was it just me, or the "car infront" (and not the Toyota) is limited so the car behind is faster than it as...everyone goes around in a big group all afternoon then the Force Indias/Honda's go hurtling past the field :P
Well, got to give Donnington's backers they did atleast come up with £100mil to build the new complex and improvements necessary. Sadly though Silverstones lots of lovely pics and ideas, and the "we might" do such never paid off.
Money as always. Donnington has it, Silverstone hasn't. But the comment off Bernie was odd though, he seemed to hint he would of prefered Silverstone "if" it had got the funds from government.
Let me get this straight...Max was known by his friend here, that he had been visiting these themed prostitutes, as not just once, Max had been there, known to of been there, the press learned he had been there and went to nosy, his friend learned they had seen and will be recording next time so tells Max to keep a low profile from his sordid dealings for a while. Max ignores his friend and still goes and gets caught on camera.
Being caught with your pants down on camera is bad enough. Having being warning before hand is the kind of utter arragance we've come to expect from Max. Let me guess, the press used a Merc van, thereby its all a McLaren stich up :P me cynical, never!
Observer, you seem to of forgot how that all started though, with Ferrari racing an illegal car, and info on it coming out through the leaked data...and Ferrari (as with the barge boards, and dodgy wings, and every other time) gets off again thanks to Ferrari International Assistance (the FIA) and thier personal friend Mr Mosley.
Mosley is damaging the sports image. Anyone else doing such damage to F1 would be fined or kicked out for it. He doesn't see the damage he's doing when no one wishes to speak with him due to being damaged by being in his presence.
F1 is in need of a level playing field, rules which are used on everyone equally and by a fully neutral organisation.
Mostly just setup's it seemed,was always sector three which Hamilton was massively faster then everyone else. Sectors one and two he just hung on trying to keep it closer to everyone else.
So...bad track? maybe, but as above, thats the same for everyone. Bad choice in setup? seems it so be more likely. Yet anything can happen with the with close the walls are just like Monaco. Can but wait and see what occur's tomorrow.
So what happens now? Lets face it Max isn't exactly popular around the F1 teams before all this mess, let alone the inconsistances the FIA's rulings usually have, and there is certain dwarven interests interested in removing the FIA from F1 involvement. If the countries backing those teams, we're to all jump ship, and someone *cough* Bernie *cough* jumps in with a new body offering a new series...No Max, no dodgy FIA rulings, no body they can have a proper say with, probably better cash payouts...can kind of see what would happen here.
Anyhow, just my thoughts on the situation...but then again, the FIA doesn't own the rights to hold a Grand Prix...that is something owned by Bernie!
Ok, as a slightly odd thing...why the hell hasn't the British seat on the FIA come forth and told him to get lost also? or are they still to busy sucking up to him or providing the hookers!
Your missing the point, yes today is April 1st, but this story came out on the March 30th...
Either way, he should step down and do the sport no further damage. As others have said this is a clear breach of the bringing the sport into disrepute, and as such he should be gone. Not like he was a good President anyhow for the problems he's caused over the last few years.
Or on a modified Josh's idea above, yes who's fastest in qualifying starts at the back...but this would lead to sandbagging unless they had a reason not to...ie points for qualifying also. Not full points, but maybe 3,2,1 or something for first, second, third etc. Keeping the fuel from qualifying as now also, so the back marker slow teams will be at the front, loaded up something crazy to make an utter hindrence of themselves for the fast cars. We get a huge load of over taking and possibilities of people falling off the track. And also the back markers get more TV coverage for their sponsors, so thus gain more cash to get them out of being back markers.
Well Ferrari were fast in Melbourne...but also were dismally unreliable. Fair enough, they are fast again, but the question of if they make it to the end of a race before falling apart still has to be seen. BMW seem to be pretty much where they were last week, which has to be good. And was also a good quali for Toyota, while good to see them improving can't seen it continuing to much through to the race. Hope for a good race and not a Ferrari walk over...but guess we'll see tonight.
Feel kind of mixed on this...ok its good due to the lack of adverts, and hopefully less rattling ramble at the start etc. But remember back to when the BBC last had it they never even bothered going to the races apart from the British GP. They just sat back and commentated on what we were already watching and the coverage was bloody awful. Here's to hoping this time around they don't decide to utterly screw it over like last time...but then again no chance of that is there, after all the Beep is a typical British institution :P
