it wasnt just the SEATs, it was everyone, it is disappointing that more penalties were not habded out. tommo deserved better.

F1 » Bernie: British Grand Prix 'a dead duck'.

bernie cracks the whip (MM please note). there seems to be a plan to get rid of all the european races apart from the Monaco. this appears to be motivated entirely by greed. Europe is the founder of F1 which was initiated to provide for major races in the main european countries. there is money in monaco and the middle/far east and this is why bernie is gravitating eastwards. soon it will not be a WORLD championship, but an asian championship. wouldnt it be ironic if the country that is the hub of F1, be without its own grand prix. the current dictatorship is spoiling the sport.

F1 » Hamilton revved up for 'favourite' race.

dave and simon, i just love winding you up, which is SOOOO easy to do. bye bye now

F1 » Hamilton revved up for 'favourite' race.

simon, you have your opinion, i have mine! i retain my right to criticise ANY driver . i dont hate hamilton, but i do respond to big mouth utterances. it just so happens that crash.net seem to post only hamilton quotes, probably because he is such a polarising figure. dont be so sensitive!

F1 » McLaren: No repeat of tyre woes in Monaco.

there have been no tyre woes for anyone apart from hamilton, due to him being hard on the front tyres, whether because he brakes very heavily or has too much understeer. monaco needs a lot of braking and has a lot of corners. front tyres could suffer quite badly again, so hamilton might not be off the hook yet.

F1 » Haug warns: Monaco '08 could be crashfest.

foo, i agree with you entirerly. i cant remember but was there traction control in the days of 1000hp turbos? also in the days of hunt, lauda etc, the cars were rarely travelling in a straight line, power sliding was a feature of these races. the "modern" driver just has to develop his skills. if they cant cope and crash, they are well protected by their safety tubs etc. norbert haug is a good one to talk. last year audi pulled out of a DTM race due to the merc drivers driving them off the road and causing accidents.

F1 » Ecclestone preparing for 'war' with Mosley.

i always believed that BE and MM were in each others pocket and that they were the best of friends. it seems that there has been a falling out. MM wont help BE screw more money from F1 and BE will not be giving MM any more handouts or shares. whats the answer? have a whip around, methinks!

F1 » Lewis crowned F1's 'King of Bling'.

fast jack, exactly. the only saving grace is that the proceds are to go to charity and some over rich plonker will have been persuaded to part with his money , as kenny everett used to say "all in the best possible taste"

F1 » Hamilton revved up for 'favourite' race.

simon, i didnt waste time searching google for ALL comments so sorry if i missed some. apart from massa's comment quoted by you, all the others refer to TEAMS, not to individual drivers assessing their own capabilities. some difference!
