F1 » Alonso's misery as Piquet steals his thunder.

Fine Barry.... Now I've signed in what does that make me, lazy? but you, you're still an opinionated ****.

F1 » Button slams F1 rival Hamilton as 'weak'.

This is a non story, LH (or pop) can quite legitmatly withdraw, all the've done is fail to profit from some of the best PR money can't buy. Button on the other hand is highly unlikley to have been derogatory about LH over this and as is common in the press misrepresented.

F1 » Ecclestone: Donington F1 move 'not a bluff'.

Who's seen the contract?

F1 » Todt 'everything FIA president shouldn't be'.

PH has little credibility, unfortunately neither he nor FW took the opportunity to condemn Mosley when the integrity of the FIA was actually at stake. Todt's succession (as Head well knows) was never a serious concern, Mosley's preferred option was always a non starter Todt being highly unpopular throughout the FIA and a proverbial red herring for Head to suggest otherwise. Whatever prompted William's F1 to tacitly support Mosley is unknown and speculation useless but the teams authority (a bastion of F1) took an severe knock that day when some solidarity and good sense was the order of the day!

F1 » Hamilton accepts Button 'man challenge'.

Alonslow4ever, Put it in perspective, Hamilton was suckered in, he tried every which way to get out of something he thought would dent his super-boy image. That's fine as far as it went and no criticism of Lewis. But he's on to a loser with the press at present and even more loss of face on account of this. But and this is a big but, had he gone out there, even losing spectacularly he would have been the winner, Hamilton Sr+Jr missed the best PR opportunity imaginable, he couldn't buy that press for a million never mind £10,000. Finally, don't quote his token charity work at me, why didn't he stay put and pay UK taxes and help fund a new children's hospital like the rest of us taxpayers!

F1 » Donington reclaims F1 as British GP moves.

Might be a great bike circuit, but they'll never re- create the magic of the Silverstone track (no magic in the facilities). Neither are good regards access and the only way to make it halfway enjoyable is by bike and even then it a struggle. As already mentioned BE just has to be the mystery donor doing a bit of insider trading as it were, taking a hit on the price to fund the contract, bear in mind BE is only the front man for FOM/ CVC and probably fed up working commission only.

F1 » Hamilton accepts Button 'man challenge'.

End of story it seems Lewis' dad pulls him out of Button head to head, wonder why? Perhaps this will run and run, but without Lewis! Oh..., the perils of putting a microphone in front of Lewis!

F1 » Repsol to help Honda poach Alonso?

Maybe, but Honda like several on the grid (inc McLaren with exception of 2007) have needed to up their game for years, if they and others failed to make the grade under current regulations would you put money on it being better in 2009? Ferrari (no fan and more acceptable with FM/KR as pilots) just seem relentless and FA, if he has to waste 2/3 years on development with Honda will have seen his best years slip away.

F1 » Hamilton accepts Button 'man challenge'.

Just another example of a person''s running off at the mouth getting them into trouble. And probably the best story of the weekend, if he pulls out I dare-say every interview for years will have a reference to it, Lewis will just have to enter, I suspect BE will have the TV rights as always!

F1 » Mosley: F1 becoming unsustainable.

Mosley is flexing his muscle for reasons other then sustainability, translating 90% of F1 development into road car design isn't going to work, the two environments are mutually exclusive. Sustainability in transport will be achieved by economics, legislative regulation driven by environmental diktats. Mosley is more concerned with the new Concorde agreement and ensuring his presidency till he dies, if environmental concern and not marketing were the issue F1 would have been banned 10 years ago, tokenism in the shape of KER's isn't going to make F1 green but might strengthen Mosley's grip on FIA.
