did you not see what the idiot did then?
it was sickening, he was weaving acrosss the track as if he wanted to be killed, its was one of those moments when your heart feels like it was in your mouth,
thank god the marshall ran out and got him
i really felt there was going to be a real tradegy
it was'nt as if he doing for publicity, it was as if he wanted to die there and then, a few of the drivers really had to swerve out of his way to miss hitting him
LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

Kimi continues to show why Ron made a mistake. (with both)
Can you elaborate on this please? Being on second within reach of the title cannot be that bad. Yes, Kimi does mistakes, but only because he is so eager and pushing it harder than some other drivers. Look at the first season of MS and see how many mistakes he had done. You wouldn't honestly say it was a mistake to sign him? Only people who do nothing don't make mistakes.
Ferrari now have the fastest car.
One swallow does not make a summer. When will you ever learn that you cannot judge the strength of a team from just one race? Same with Ralf. he won Nürburgring by surprise and Magny Cours (probably because there was no time to test between the races). Nothing unusual, still people shout "Ralf is going to be MS new rival. Forget Kimi!" A race later things already look different. I bet the next races will show other cars/drivers in front and all will shout "Yes, he is going to be the new champ". Ridicolous.
You cannot really say which team is the fastest this year. Ferrari, Williams and McLaren are so close together, that it really comes down to other factors like temperature, track surface, tyres, etc. If Ferrari won today it was due to the right circumstances. It does not tell you anything about what will happen in the next race. Same goes for McLaren and Williams. this is what I like about 2003. You don't really know where teams are, so we have lots of excitement.

Vader, Kimi has made a few mistakes this year which could cost him the championship. McLaren expect Kimi to take this years championship.
If the end of season points turn out to be by 1-6 points then this will show that no rookie should be in a top F1 team.
Kimi has done well. Extremely well from what I admit. But if you want a driver who can win a championship, you should have someone with the necessary talent to win a championship. Kimi is a question. Can he or not? Its up to his skills and experience in my opinion. Skill, almost. Experience, almost none.
Who has the fastest car is a good thing to ponder on. I only say Ferrari because of the difference in lap time differences. But both Ferraris were fastest in this race which can mean tyres, or not. Ferrari have had great overtaking speed in all races which is a great benefit overall.
Guimengo, I understand. Lets hope he catches up in the championship.

I don't agree with you. According to Norbert Haug Mercedes never expected to be serious title contenders this year. They have already achieved more they could hope for with a car that is one year older than that of Ferrari and Williams. Nobody seriously expected Kimi to become champion this year. If somebody was expected to get the title it was DC - a driver with talent and experience.
Kimi has enough talent and rough speed and he has got time. If not this year, he might win next year. Besides you cannot really call someone in his third season a rookie.

Best race 4 years in my opinion

Great race can not wait to see the highlights.
Did anyone see that move MS pulled though to block Alonso, he had him near enough on the grass on the 1st lap.
Thats 2 races now RB has won with a bloke walking on the track.
I am not sure how MS can say he nearly hit the guy when Kimi said the guy was not on the circuit when he drove passed, MS was not that far behind at that stage.
The british GP must stay its one of the only circuits where u can pass

Yeah,Ruby's contacts in the loony house work again
and DC should have had a square headrest fitted(just joking
)
Rubens-excellent performance,faster Ferrari on merit i suppose this weekend
,if the rumour about him being the only Ferrari to use the new tyres is correct then the future looks rosy although it could be down to the circuit and the weather
Michael-strange race
,as a fan of his i could say that i am dissapointed,probably made a wrong choice on the tyres and struggled with the slower cars.Full credit to Ferrari for playing it fair in the pits
Kimi-good drive,got the best out of the package,too bad he slipped on the oil(again) would have been a good battle otherwise with JPM.Not really faster than DC,but i guess it's down to the tactics.Benefited from SC.
DC-the route of all evilExcellent race,gutsy moves,showing that he is a team player with Kimi and edging ever closer to a definite seat with McLaren next year IMO.
JPM-agressive as ever,maximised his chances for WDC really well.A desrving runner-up in the man of the match stakes to RB.Got his act together and had Ralf's number this weekend.Bodes well for his future if the rumours from the Williams camp are to be believed.
Ralf-had the pace,was really unfortunate to suffer the damage,tried his best to recover but it wasn't enough at the end
Alonso seemed to lose a lot of time in the last pitstop.Wonder what happened there?
JV-excellent driving down the memory lane
.The last lap-
Forgot Button.He probably had overtaken the most cars.Really impressive.Shades of JV-Austria 2000.

also worth mentioning MS's questionable defending of his position against Alonso early on, i'm Glad Blundell brought the point up and i'd like to hear whether Ross Brawn though that it was a "classy" bit of driving
Oleg, my good old friend, I totally agree with you.

The way ITV switched to the break just as the nutter ran onto the track... those were undoubtedly the longest set of advertisements I've ever endured. I have to say I was expecting the worst when it rejoined the race.
That was defiantly planned. ITV obviously knew about this but didnt tell the ommentators but switched to a break as soon as they knew.

I agree 100% and i dont care if it looks like im starting a flame war here, but really what was he playing at? I aint no alonso fan after Nurbrurgring and Brzail, but Michael forced him noto the grass at 180mph!
Plato done the same thing in ascar last year and got black flagged and 5 race suspended ban!
I REALLY hoped they went to Ross brawn for a comment just cos theres nothing he could say. Whether it was legal or not, it was defiantly unclassy if Ross is going by JPMs move.
Best move of the race: DC round the outside of the Renualt down at vale, that was amazing
Amazing stuff by JV to keep michael behind, pity of the suspected rear brake problem at the end
Racing Is Life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting
Jesus may be able to heal the sick and bring the dead back to life, but he can't do shît for low fps

If the guy is trying to pass, and Schumi is ahead, he has the right to the best course on track, and the right to alter his racecourse 2 times. These are the rules...
I also think we should have more tracks like Silverstone, Monza, Interlagos (specially the old one), San Marino (1994) and Hockenhein (maybe old one).
Suzuka is also sweeeeeeeeet
And I think one of the best races Rubinho ever had were the 1998 Interlagos, where he held McLaren and Ferrari back, and Hockenhein 2000, with dry tires on basically a lake.

Im not sure pushing somone so they have wheels on the grass is considered taking the best line tho
Very unclassy going by Ross's Standards

Agree with you mate. I was working at Maccys and I asked my shift manager to have my break at the time of the GP but I started at 8am so I just held on to the time of the GP.
It was so weird that when the moment, the cameras was on the guy at the Hangar Straight and James Allen just said "Oh........" and then suddenly ITV went to an advertisement break!
The race? It was full of drama and overtaking! The first was DC's part of the cockpit flying off and then the guy on the track causing the teams' stragedies (sp?) to be dropped.
I was pretty impressed with Rubens with a great move past Ralf on the outside and the same for Coulthard on Trulli at the Vale.
ITV got it spot on in terms of broadcasting the race, not too many on MS but a lot of onboards as well!
