What does history teach us about dictators CD?
My dad reckons both are bluffing and F1 will survive.
Read the f1 press conference.
Fota are not backing down. They have Ferrari on side and Max is well and truly ****ed.
Up yours you egotistical moron Max!
That they'll be supported financially and politically by the US government until such a point as they've outlived their usefullness?
massive smash for Sutil
Hamilton out of qualifying in round 1 again cos of red flag

Hamilton out.
Sutil you dick.
Sutil you dick.

Hehe
I was more going for the going down with their ship unrepentant angle!
why did they red flag it though, the track was clear wasnt it?
Well it doesn't matter for Hamilton....was a definite yellow flags which means if he posted a faster time than he has allready done he would have been punished for it.
it looks like it was a car failure
They've changed their story now, underbreaking.
I was right.
Nakajima was fastest lol

I was right.
You might be you might not......calling a driver a dick for having a fairly major accident is pretty low just because it happened to ruin Lewis's lap.
Nobody knows whether it was a car failure or not
The Stig lol
Why has Beumi gone back out?
the car is awful to drive for hamilton, just no speed at all.
Just to add something to the shenanigans that's going on atm, it's a shame that it has come to this but I think the FIA had it coming with their mindless rule changing season after season. They can't seem to make up their minds and end up having wholesale rule changes year on year and that has ruined F1 for me. Their aim was to cut costs this year then why have they introduced KERS which hasn't been working anyway with the teams using it having teething problems.
FIA should go back to the basics and make F1 what it was, the pinnacle of the motorsport with the latest technological innovations and such instead of trying to limit the cars as much as possible, hell they even tried to make them have motorcycle sized engines. Maybe a split with all the big teams wouldn't be a bad thing, or at least this would have woken the FIA up and get rid of Mosley who's been ruining the sport for far too long.

sutil off to hospital
Only because he has to, as some light came on in his car.
Fair enough Manx
There was mention of Force India having a load of new parts here for this GP but not having the chance to test any of it dues to in season testing.
Given the FIA's tendency for more and more safety then getting rid of testing wasn't exactly the best idea.
They've certainly made it hard for people to stay interested in F1 the last few years with a torrent of rule changes, myself included....I certainly wont be sad to see a breakaway series next season

That redbull looks like its on rails atm....Can't see anyone else getting pole
Red Bull's pole today, just a case of Webber or Vettel. The Brawn doesnt seem to like the harder tyres here, it will be better in the race of that you can be sure but I dont think anyone will touch the Red Bull's today or tomorrow.
Right I'm off to this tommorow (or today, depending how you look at it) I intend to get very drunk.
Alonso not fit to be even stand next to Eric in my humble opinion
Well at the least there will be a British GP next year even if Donnington fails to get together.
Anyone remember back to the start of the season, where cars were overtaking each other?
What happened there then! It's gone processional again
What happened there then! It's gone processional again
boring race
Well they'll be talking about that race for generations to come
The British GP and we managed about 3 posts between us during the race!

Pretty much sums it up
I'd be suprised if a compromise wasn't worked out because breakaways usually result in less than the sum of their parts. Not that many seem to care these days barring the petrol heads of course.
What he said. I stopped watching half way through and made me a cooked lunch. Only Hamiliton and Alonso dared to attempt to overtake all fecking day. Pretty disgusting really.
Yep, boring as feck...The after party was hilariously bland as well...Eddie Jordans band doing covers..Some bloke EJ's daughter had pulled once...doing covers and the Rolling stones!!....Tribute band!!...
It was also the closest thing to a BNP rally I've ever been too...they couldn't get through an interview without whirling nationalist rhetoric and Vettel had to be amazingly gracious and self deprecating to avoid being boo'd just for being German...The presenters also missed the crucial point of campaigning that if you ram your point down peoples throat they'll eventually get bored of it...Mention it once or twice and you'll get them on your side.
All in all though it was a good day out...I love the fact they have an after party and open up the track after the race...At least you get your moneys worth

Even if it is a crap race, if you're actually there, it's a magnificent experience. An exciting race is just the icing on the cake. I was lucky enough to go last year, got piss wet through, but it was a great watch and brilliant to cheer a British driver to victory
Yeah it's a brilliant day out...Very fun indeed. It's like a little festival..Donnigton has a lot to live up to. The air horns drove me fecking mad though
