Yep agreed.

Some of what you see on F1 is pretty dodgy when it comes to yellows. There's so much pressure in a race, even in club racing it gets a bit iffy. More often than not someone you have been holding a good distance on, will be right up your chuff when the yellows come out on a single point on the track. They then get in a very nice position and it's Russian Roulette on when the lead car gets his foot down. I've seen marshalls miss this too and it's pretty frustrating.

After watching this clip, even the Vettel haters might have to concede he's got a sense of humour. Scroll down this page for a clip of Vettel and Coulthard going round the Sochi circuit ...

I'd read an internet rumour the other day that Briatore had a big money backer and was going to buy Lotus and use Merc engines with the possibility of Alonso as a driver.

Probably horse doo doo, but one part has come true already.

Well, Lotus was Benetton once upon a time, so it's not entirely unfeasible.

I could believe that. When Alonso fell out with McLaren where did he go back to? And Briatore has been sniffing around the sport of late now that's he's allowed back.
