F1 » Crash.net Top Ten F1 Drivers of 2008 (1-5).

I see the editor tried to snick this in while we were busy at the table and with the champagnes. Now not that I like much Alonso, but he took the opportunities when they were presented to him. All the same that makes not No.1. Vettel? Wow it reminds me of Jenson when he got his first GP win. As for Kubica we will see what happens in the next couple of years. Timo Glock for some fans may deserved it for his exploits in Brazil. Wow again.

F1 » Richards set for Honda F1 talks.

06Si K20 may I please ask you not to distort the facts as they are reported. Bernie has a preferential agreement with Ferrari and not FIA. As for the Honda team hope somebody rescues it. Although I do not believe the people that run it or drive for it deserve to be saved. Sorry ramjam but Jenson as much as I like him there are plenty of drivers in F1 that are better than him.

Thanks sunny

rich ard you are right FIA dropped the idea of standard engine. As for Ferrari it is not in their interest to get out as they use the F1 as a marketing tool for their road cars. Merry Christmas to you and all the guys that are celebrating Christmas day.

The rules should have each prescribed penalties which the various stewards than will have to apply evenly for all the teams avoiding any so called favouritisms and gifts to some team or other. This past season proved that interpretation of the rules cannot be left to individual stewards without giving them a set of penalties that are appropriate for each rule.

another aspect which is not that clear is the rules and their interpretation which is creating much unpleasantness among the fans, even if we know that some fans don't want to accept anything going against their teams still if we consider what has transpired this past season some decisions were a bit contraversial... McLaren was saved from banning in 2008 over the spying but are we sure if it was a minor team it would have been that lucky. And let me say immediately I am against banning anyone.. Heavy penalties yes, but we even saw that FIA was very lenient to some drivers were in some accidents some of them deserved more than 10p drop at the start..

rich ard I think the worrying aspect of F1 today is not much the BE circus as much as the FIA and the way rules, changes, cost cutting and whatever the FIA sees fit are imposed to F1 in the name of safety and all the reasons we are or not given by Max Mosley. Now I am not throwing all the fault on Mosley. The teams have been at fault as well until FOTA came to light and tried to negotiate with FIA on the above. In my view it is paramount for FIA to discuss anything they want to introduce to F1 with the teams and arrive into a consensus on the changes. The standard engine is a mockery of what F1 has been and still is in racing, FIA went ahead and still insists to impose it one way or another.

F1 » Williams never thought 'what's the point?'.

One can only hope that Williams stays in F1 and gets stronger. Personally when I look at the "determination" factor in F1 what comes to mind is Williams. Hope also that really we cut out all the gizmos that were introduced under the guise of technological advance and we get some real racing among the drivers. I know we will still have some strong teams and the others, but we will increase the possibilities of having some surprises among the "others"...

karga FLU I see you are an intelligent person, sorry I did not realize it before... Continue with your Queen's English you will endear yourself to the rest of us...

F1 » Kovalainen seeks equal chance in '09.

You are very wrong karga flu. I am no Hamilton fan, but he won the WDC and I did congratulate him. But please I am no fan of his. Further I am pleased to say I have no headache either big or small and I will not shut up. I would suggest you call your flu anything but karga it doesn't fit the description.....
