You assume that F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport - I'm not sure that I agree. Yes. it's just about the fastest racing series, but for spectator value for money it's no longer number one.

I watched GP2 a couple of weeks ago - it's the 'warm up act' for F1. Nowhere near the same amount of money involved, but so much more entertaining to watch.

i personally think hamiltons driving in that instance was poor, why did he take so long to get back on the gas and not turn into the corner? Its fair that vettel has had his penalty lifted because its an easy mistake to make when distracted.

Yes, he should quit F1 and go to college, university or whatever and get a crap job like everybody else, and shut the hell up. He's just another with a silver spoon up his duff, but I guess he's just trying to fit in.

He's black and his Dad worked two jobs to finance his karting till Ron "discovered" him. How does that qualify him for a silver spoon?





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Most entertaining to watch I would say MotoGP, ok so far this season hasnt been great, but the race at Estoril just showed how much over taking and how close these guys race.

F1 is the pinnicle of motorsport because it has the most coverage and the most money invloved. For the teams and drivers it is the highest level (although some americans may disagree!). Of course it doesnt make it entertaining, although the 2nd half of the Fuji GP was quite entertaining with some great battles going on at the end.

Ron gives him full backing - maybe even running a new team in that championship.

Far fetched? Maybe not so...


I have come to a similar conclusion -- the thing is if Hamilton steps into and Indy car or whatever and wins the championship as a rookie then steps in Nascar a pulls off a similar stunt.

Mean while --- Max just looks more stupid

Pity they don't have Group 7 sports car racing anymore Mclaren's historic stomping ground.

Did any one else watching ITV coverage of qualifying pickup on what just might have been a veiled reference to Max's real motivations for being so against Hamilton.
