F1 » Barrichello accuses Brawn of 'making him lose the race'

Does seem a bit strange to me, when Ross Brawn was with Benneton and Ferrari the strategies he was said to have employed were instrumental in winning many races.... what has gone wrong? all the tactics this year seem to be wrong choices.

F1 » F1 breakaway not dead, insist 'shocked' FOTA teams

@ JohnsonsEvilTwin Sorry mate, it IS posturing,(and I'm in agreement with them) IF FOTA were serious I think they would have walked away from F1 by now, it's beginning to look like a case of the FIA have won and now all FOTA can do is score points.

@ Max You could say 'it's whining for the FORDS'

F1 » F1 breakaway not dead, insist 'shocked' FOTA teams

So just go!!! Prove to MM and BE that they are not needed.. I do hate all this posturing, JUST DO IT. No-one will believe you till you do.

F1 » Hamilton: 'Safety' considerations taking fun out of F1

Burn-outs, Donoughts do me a favour.. Useless waste of time (and whats the point of picking up the marbles if you've already burnt that weight off?) Senna always carried a flag rolled up his sleeve to 'wave' at the end of a race... no problem with that. Safety of the drivers is paramount, it has to be. But in saying that I have to admit that since the knee jerk reaction to the deaths of Ratzenburger and Senna (Strange chicanes appearing for no apparent reason - awkward attempts made to slow cars down (grooved tyres etc)the racing has dropped right off.

F1 » Force India: Podiums in 2011 no pipe dream

Yeah, I know it needs some working on to sort out the real points system, but it would (maybe) get some proper racing all the way down the grid and not just the top few places, some of the back markers work harder than the front placed drivers and get nowt for it at all..... it's all wrong..... Problem is I can see the drivers championship being awarded to a driver finishing in 18th place.

F1 » Force India: Podiums in 2011 no pipe dream

Steve, Completely agree with you, At the moment if you're in 10th,11th place or lower, there is no point in really racing. the points should be extended to cover the whole field, maybe 50 points for a win down to 40 points for 6th place then down to 30 points to 15th etc etc, it would give the back markers like FI something to fight for.

F1 » Ecclestone: Hitler comments foolish

Fred, Completely agree with you as it happens... BUT people in 'positions of authority' should NOT be making statements like that (although to be fair the media will quote comments out of context and with undue emphasis on certain statements) and I also agree, bake in the '80's Bernie and Max (or some persons very like them) were needed to pull F1 up and make it the sporting specatcle that it became in the late 80's early 90's, now that it has become one of the more boring events around the world people are blaming BE and MM. Saying that they have BOTH become egomaniacs who think F1 can only run their way and I beleive are responsible for ruining the sport.

F1 » Ecclestone: Hitler comments foolish

Reminds me of someone... Can anyone else think of somebody who says one thing and then tells everyone he's made a 'mistake' and that what he said was not what he meant?

F1 » Hockenheim to be saved but Fuji facing the chop in 2010?

Don't think Fuji needs to worry, there will be room for them when Donnington falls over and Silverstone tells Bernie where to go.... Yeah alright! wishful thinking about the BRDC telling Bernie where to get off.... But I hope they charge him through the nose for using the track rather than the other way round.
