F1 » 'Fresh' Hamilton up for the fight.

I'll take your advice Jack... it just winds me up. He clearly thinks Shamilton is some kind of satirical, comedic master stroke, when in actual fact it's about as funny as a massive heart attack. And they're the opposite of funny. I can put up with idiots, just not idiots who think they're clever.

Oh Shamilton, Shamilton, aren't I a funny fellow. IT IS NOT FUNNY. IT IS NOT CLEVER. YOU ARE A MORON, TEALEAF.

F1 » Drivers worried about 'dangerous' slicks.

Here''s a cunning trick I''ve learned through my years as one of the millions of ordinary drivers who manage not to crash and die everyday: drive slower when there''s less grip. I don''t see what their problem is - they''re supposed to be the best drivers in the world and they can''t figure out that if there''s less grip, you just have to carry less speed into bends. I''m getting a bit sick of their complaining actually - I wish they''d just get on with it. You don''t hear rally drivers saying, "Ooo, snow''s a bit dangerous." or, "Oooo, I don''t like the look of that black ice". They just slow down and get on with it. If you can''t take driving an F1 car, retire.

F1 » JYS: Mosley scandal makes F1 vulnerable.

Yeah, a private life is just that - private. But as soon as that private life becomes public, it's not a private affair anymore. The ethics of printing the story are a moot point - the information is now in the public domain and it has already affected the sport. As far as anyone is concerned, the FIA president has to be - as far as it is possible to prove - whiter than white. He must be able to interact with people from all races and religions as a morally sound individual - he was asked not to attend the Bahrain GP by the Crown Prince because of moral objections from his country. That, I'm afraid, makes his position completely untenable.

F1 » Hamilton: I messed up.

Tealeaf... I'm sorry, but do you think calling him Shamilton is clever? You are quite clearly a moron. Get back in your box and shush your mouth. Andrew, your theory is sound, but I don't think it will come to that. Heikki and Lewis are both still rookies and they will be evenly matched this year. The Alonso Situation came out of a double world champ being unable to accept that someone in his first year was as quick as him. With these two, they're on an even footing which *should* mean it won't kick off in quite as spectacular fashion, when one of them starts beating the other. But, as you said, time will tell.

F1 » 'Nauseating' BBC deal facing political probe?

Wilcox: "ripping money out of the pocket of British tax payers"? I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned £2.60 per week is a small price to pay to ensure that at least one broadcaster doesn't pander to corporate sponsors and can produce informative, interesting television without having to worry about ITV-style lowest common denominator scheduling... but perhaps that's the sort of thing you like. I'd be happy to pay that solely to rid my life of sodding tv advertising alone... never mind for programmes like Life in Cold Blood, which you just don't get on other channels. Then there's the multitude of brilliant ad-free radio stations too - the Licence Fee is an absolute bargain!

Morgan, Craig: brilliant, brilliant posts.

F1 » ITV F1 to cease coverage [updated].

I think some of us see the old Beeb coverage through Rose-tinted spectacles - don't forget that they hardly ever showed qually and it was basically a segment in grandstand rather than a show in its own right. Nevertheless, ITV never really 'pushed it' - they were happy to just follow the cars round the track and rake in the ad money, I suspect the BBC, as Ben said, will offer us state of the art, groundbreaking coverage this time around. I never thought I'd wish a season away!

This is fantastic news, no more adverts interrupting the F1! WOOOT! Hopefully this also means we''ll see the back of Allen too...

F1 » It's not too late for Mark, reckons team-mate.

CA - You clearly don't know what you're on about. As for Mark Webber, I've always felt he was desperately over-rated. poor team mates and mediocre performances - he's nothing special.
