I'll never understand this attitude.

No matter how farcial it gets I'll keep coming back for more....
Bit like reading these threads really.


This year F1 has been a joke on the politics front, yet very entertaining to watch.

Looks like it will (unsurprisingly with Bernie playing the evident Dr.Evil in his white tower controlling the Stewardbots) go to the last race again.

Do you think anyone would take Hamilton deliberately? You betcha! Roll on Sunday!

I think so. When he doesn't win, it's usually because he's ****ed it up on his own.

Drivers to raise Hamilton in Friday meeting:

The McLaren driver, who could win the championship in China this weekend, is to be a leading topic at the drivers' briefing on Friday, as some of his rivals complain about an allegedly brash racing style.

Grand Prix Drivers' Association stalwarts Mark Webber and Jarno Trulli were telling reporters that some of 23-year-old Hamilton's recent driving has been cause for concern.

I wouldn't dignify his name in the press. I'd just say one driver's antics, rather than name him. Doing so smacks a wee bit of jealousy.

That is what I thought.

So, other than a long overdue mechanical failure & half the field gunning for him, the weekend's looking good for Lewis!

They get no sympathy from me - so those who get up early to watch it live should feel free to debate to their heart's content without having to wait until the afternoon re-run!

So, how are the stewards going to stitch it up in Massa's favour this time....?
I don't think any one wants your "sympathy", but a reminder that the thread

Hamilton hasn't had a breakdown

Kovi did of course, last week

Is Hamilton on the second race for his engine in China, or the first?

He's on a fresh engine, and thanks to the daft "joker" rule, he'll get a fresh engine for Brazil too.
