F1 » Kovalainen handed penalty.

These drivers are still learning the ropes it seems and they are paying a heavy price for their mistakes. I bet McLaren wished they didn't pick two almost rookie drivers as between them their errors are really making it hard for the team week in week out. It's no use penalising Naka as he's already at the back anyway. I'm sure the team radioed that Webber was still setting his time and to get off the racing line but for some reason he didn't. The penalties that Heikki and Lewis recieved are justified for their rookie'ish driver errors and Heikki should have known better considering it's the second time in eight races.

F1 » French GP - Starting line-up [updated].

Jayson, Q1 & Q2 are quicker times as they set them with less fuel. Hence the quicker times listed from P11 downwards.

F1 » French GP - Starting line-up [updated].

I'd say Slamilton has a heavy fuel load this time out due to his penalty. It will be interesting to see wich McLaren does pit first and if there is nothing on toward this race before the first stop we should know who is really quickest between them.

F1 » No second chance for Heidfeld.

Didn't know that. Last I heard was that BMW are in no rush to sign up for '09.

F1 » French Grand Prix - Qualifying times.

Less than one second between pole and ninth on the grid. Bloody Hell! surley this should be a close race. Who will be first in for fuel(Alonso or Trulli)? I think the Ferrari''s & McLarens (Hamilton in particular) are fueled long as for the rest....who know''s. BMW, Williams & Honda a very dissapointing Qualifying session.

F1 » Raikkonen grabs Ferrari's 200th pole.

Congrat's Kimmi and Ferrari on another 200th milestone...Mumble Mumble Grumble.

F1 » No second chance for Heidfeld.

Nicks on the way out! I''ve said it before that he''s one the most overated drivers in the current F1 circus. I will keep saying until he is consistantly bettering himself or actually racing and stop using the tyre temperature excuse. With his many years racing experience and the current car at his disposal he should be kicking serious A R S E and be in the title mix. He reminds me of Alex Wurz with glimpses of brilliance but usually just driving around and around and going through the motions whilst racing yet can test drive and set up a car with the best of them.

F1 » Raikkonen takes French pole.

Ok! 200 poles...congrats and well done Ferrari. Now enough already! No one can afford your unrealiable road cars so why don't your race cars breakdown like them? Come on anyone but McLaren and whip these guys. What the hell happened to BMW was Canada just a fluke? Time for Renault or even Red Bull ...Anyone! please!

F1 » Rosberg: I deserved penalty just like Hamilton.

He ain''t like his dad. His father would not be so politically correct and probably wouldn''t have run into another car in pit lane anyway. Nico should have been in a McLaren this season...Big mistake staying at Williams instead of looking after himself. Very nice guy but they just don''t win in this game.

F1 » Audi adamant F1 is 'still not an issue'.

I'd have to disagree with a lot of the comments so far. Honda has gone leaps and bounds since they entered F1 regardless of the lack of victories. Their road cars and engines have improved from the humble push mower to their sportest car since F1. Also the talk of Audi still sells alot of cars and don't need F1 is not a firm agument either. Hyundai sell a lot more cars than Audi for example with out F1?? Cheeper car I know but for the level of quality and price of an Audi it would not hurt them to invest in the pinnacle series instead of playing it safe and blowing so much money on Le Mans. Makes more bussiness sense as F1 would certainly broaden their market beyond just Europe.
