Shouting at the F1 Qualifying...

Great race missed the 2nd half though. Will be good to see if Lewis can rebuild some of the momentum he has lost and try and rebuild a lead in the drivers standings. A very MS type move to sit and weight to be pulled out of the gravel!
The saftey car was so close to being collected at one point how he thought sitting in a big puddle where 5 cars had already slid off was a good idea i will never know!

Kimi's drift into the pit lane and then out was interesting too.

Tosh. It just shows he is calm and collected. If Ralf's car was serviceable then he should have sat in it too and seen what happened.

Cheers,
Robin

That would require him to think! Looked like he was far too busy acting like a tit and tring to get to the side of the track to gesture at the BWM

As for all the cheating comments about various other drivers, come on.

The game is about taking the rules to the limit. Each car stretches the technical regulations to the limit and winning drivers stretch the rules to the limit on the track - Schumacher was very good at that, but he isn't the only one to do it.

The teams see everything that happens, and there are plenty of spotters about the track. The teams aren't slow to complain if they think someone is cheating or abusing the rules so when they keep quiet I assume it's because they agree that the driving is within the rules.

Cheers,
Robin

Good decision i think, however if you look closely you can still see the horse on the nose of the car underneath the new paint!

Oooh! Alonso you big cheating barsteward

Anyone watching the Hungarian qualifying? Thats going to ruffle a few feathers.

What???

Doesn't say in the rules that he HAS to go when the lollypop is lifted.

Anyway - he saved his teammate a lap of fuel for the race.

If he had done it on the track he would have been penalised for it, you're right though whilst not strictly cheating its still very, very unsporting.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall during the team talk that follows
