If only BMW had carried on developement at the same rate after the victory in Canada and the middle of the season.
Anyone else think Kubica has been ddriver of the year? With a developed BMW i serious feel he would have an extra 10 points overall and be solidly a title contender

F1 Hamilton penalty - Yes the move was rash, should have sat behind Kimi in my opinion. Doesnt deserve a penalty though, i remember Montoya used to do first corners like that alll the time.
Massa hitting Hamilton - A 50/50 move, am not sure Massa meant to hit Hamilton, although he didnt back out and put himself off the track to try and gain and advantage and hit Hamilton. Deffinately deserved a p

F1 Williams/Toyota/Renault going backwards? FI will be closer. Honda much further up levl with RBR. If Torro Roso are still about i think maybe drop back? I think BMW will be even more competitive as they have dropped back late season. Mclaren i can see being first with Ferrari second.

F1 It was sad to see Super aguri go, they had some good results (Sato overtaking Alonso at Canada 2007 for instance). There are always teams at the back of any grid, they are not just there because they enjoy it, they are there to make sure their racing is financially viable and that their cars are competitive. FI could really do well with extra investment and technology as they have shown they are

F1 Mclaren have had problems all year with more tyre wear over long runs so am not too suprised they are losing the green stripes first.

F1 Different sites have different sources have different weather predictions, but rain doesn't look like hitting Sundays race. If it rained that would be great, Massa in the wall isn't a bad thing.
However a wet qualifying may shift things around, Vettel front row if it did rain.

If this is true i think this is a great thing for FI. Force India have prooved that new regulations are bringing down costs and increasing effectiveness. With the smallest budget they are still only around one and a half seconds off the pace (in general).
I also like this idea as it should make them more competitive and also put Paul di Resta into the frame for an F1 drive who is an extr

F1 I will be up to watch at 5am to watch this, hoping for a good race, but with no rain and with it not being Suzuka i have my doubts.
I really fear Ferrari running away with this one, Vettel could be a threat too with the Ferrari engine in there. Hamilton needs a good drive to keep up the pressure on Massa, but with Heikki not backing him up at the minute cant see it happen.

F1 Why is F1 being taken down the drains by a lust for money? If it carries on like this there won't be much of a series left. Canada is one of the best tracks circuits on the calendar, and with Silverstone gone, and Melbourne not looking great unless they run it at night F1 is losing its more memorable circuits for money making circuits with no real racing pedigree.

F1 Piquet - What is he doing in F1, useless piece of space, even when Alonso has problems he hasn't outqualified his teamate all year.
Alonso - Not just because of him last year, just think that a point will come where he becomes so arrogant his head will explode.
Trulli - Mobile chicane anyone??

F1 As stated above why get rid of something that works? Melbourne is my favourite track to watch and drive round on GP4.
Also, i cant really see with current spec cars the space and right corners for any realistic overtaking....

F1 Thanks for posting gav.
Made this point in the Hungary thread, reading the thread its just insulting some drivers, raving about others, then people getting in arguements about who is better.
Everyone get naked and check who is the biggest, solve it that way and save the boards. Thanks

F1 Average race today. Massa deserved the win, but would have been more interesting without Hamiltons puncture. Congrats Heikki, some good luck, and Glock also a great drive.
Also, i dont know why i read these topics, yay hamilton lost, hamilton sucks, etc, fed up with it. Am not an ass licker like some, am in the middle, why all this hate towards certain drivers, especially Hamilton. Am fed up t

F1 Am happy for Glock, hasn't had a bad season really, some very good drives and has just been unlucky. Been the most consistent debutant this year??
I know Rosberg had a problem, but why is this guy so highly rated? Nakajima seems to be slow too. Heidfeld i feel sorry for, but if he hasnt got the speed he will lose his seat. Consistency is the key.
I wish Button and Vettel could get shot

F1 What the hell. I dodge these topics now, have had it with all the Hamilton bashing, he tried a pass, its racing, the stewards ruled it was unfair and he got unfairly penalised. I also saw Raikkonen getting away with ruining Sutils race in Monaco, and also saw Hamilton drive brilliantly to win at Monaco after a mistake.
