Bet hamilton wish he had'nt taken the piss out of his dad for crashing at 30mph on air earlyer !

His dad can now ask him if he knows the difference between red and green ?? :woot:

First one I have watched all the way through this year ! Just goes to show off-road racing is more intresting . Maybee all the other tracks should have CUT-UP corners built in !

Glad Kuby won. Makes a change.

Strange incident with the pitlane. Bizarre!?:eh?:

What the hell. It made a good race even better.

I see it as Ferarri at fault, i mean trying to jump the other car then couldnt so pulls along side because of his idiot ways and ankers on leaving Hamilton nowhere to go even if he wasnt expecting it maybe he would have still been in the race.

seems odd how shite Ferarri was doing they have to try and overtake cars in the pit lane to gain places because they cant do it on the track, pathetic :thumbdown:

That was funny, but now Brundle has been reported to/complained about to something called the Equality and Human Rights Commission :thumbdown: what is it with this Country these days, soon you won't be allowed to say hello to someone, in case it upsets them.

I'm sorry, its Ferrari's fault that Lewis drove like a plonker, and can't tell a red light from a green one? are you mad?

He has supposed to have said sorry to Kimi, "if I ruined his race", if? knocking his rear wing off, is only "if" he ruined it:thumbdown:

Lewis should stop driving like his Dad, stop saying he is the best driver, when so far he ain't done that much, and start proving it on the track, where it counts.

i was thinking that too, it was a class comment.

... i was visualising the pikies from the film 'Snatch' working on the track :thumbsup:

I think there's been a lot of entertaining GPs the last couple of seasons!

But IMHO the judges and regulations interfere too much with the outcome of the race. Rules should be simplified! And make those wings a lot smaller!

Got to agree with johnm on this one. It was totally Hamilton`s fault, he A: he had to see the red light and B: the two STANDING cars in front. These things can happen, but I`m not completely happy with what he said afterwards!!! BUT the penalty given to Rosberg and Hamilton is a complete joke! People should be penalized for seriously stupid overtaking attempts (Schumacher`s move on Villeneuve in Jerez `97) or things like the Schumacher parking incident in Monaco 2006, but not for something that was clearly (even if it was painfully stupid) misjudgment.

Well deserved victory for Kubica, beating the crap out of the highly overrated Heidfeld and superb third place for Coulthard. After reading his book "It is what it is" my favorite amongst the current drivers, driving for my favorite team. Check out their hilarious Red Bulletin http://www.redbulletinf1.com/. Maybe post your "laptimes" for the game.

telboy 09-06-2008 07:52 PM

I think its a shame that Rosberg has got the same 10 place drop at the next race as Lewis. After all he was just following Lewis at his speed and had no idea that it was going to happen.

I think a lot of the pitlane rules are a bit stupid this year anyway. What a load of rubish saying that you can't come into the pits when the safety car comes out. As has happened many times this year, people being penalised because the safety car came just as they were coming in for fuel. Rediculous!

The teams should just start letting their cars run out of fuel when it happens. and then when the FIA moan about there not being many cars left in a race, they should say 'well its your stupid rule'.

Just curious

but were was Kimi's 10 place penalty for driving/crashing into the Force India car @ Monaco?

Lee 09-06-2008 08:06 PM

Thats hard.

7minutes was my first score.
second was 3.07.55


Would be so much easier if they were all F1 questions

xjr14 09-06-2008 08:34 PM

@ telboy... I totally agree with you on the safety-car/pit rules. As far as I know the revised rules will apply from Magny-Cours onwards. At least that is what was planed... I think they should just get rid of the refueling! Without refueling you don`t have to worry about someone getting stuck behind a heavier car (Alonso and Kubica in Montreal) and the main reason for this safety-car/pitlane incidents will be gone.

About that RedBulletin game, it can really be tricky and makes you wonder as it features question about the country everybody SHOULD know....and you still don`t get it right. Still great fun though...off to do the Montreal game.

...and as for Raikkönen in Monaco, a real pitty for the Force-India team...BUT that was no foolish overtaking attempt by Raikkönen!...he was in no position to try something and he knew that, he just lost it actually braking earlier than the cars in front of him. Therefore rightly no penalty....in my opinion.

played 3 times going down from around the 7 minute mark to 2:28:34 ...lucky "lap" with nice questions :)

Personally I think the stewards have been a bit harsh on Lewis. He had a moments lapse of concentration (the same as Kimi has the GP before) and ran into the back of another competitor (admittedly what many consider to be his main rival for the championship!). It was Lewis's fault, you can't deny that but to give him and Nico the 10 place drop is not fair, a stern talking to would have done it, after all, he didn't gain from it (like Kimi did).

Does this point at the stewards being harsher to McLaren than other teams? Take Ferrari gate last year, McLaren get all their constructors points taken away but the other team caught doing it (who's name escapes me at the moment but I'm sure someone will remind me........) got away with it scot free.

Schumacher taking Damon Hill out at Australia years ago to win the championship when he had a failing car, nothing happened about that (but then he was Bernie's favourite and couldn't do any wrong).

I guess what I'm trying to to say is that the rules need to be administered for everyone the same. We all (including the F1 drivers) make mistakes and those shouldn't be punished, deliberate acts on the other hand should!
