Slight tongue in cheek comment from me that was, implying that Ferrari usually get away with following rules that are dentrimental to their teams/drivers performance.(such as the "failure to finish the session" rule that he's been a victim of in this case).

Also, is it too early in the season for the FIA to come up with a reason why Räikkönen shouldn't be starting from the back of the grid?
well we all know the .....ferrari intervention agency .... do seem to favour the red cars

I would put my money on Hamilton - he wiped the floor with Ferarri - all be it they had technical issues - BUT if Mclaren keep straight, dont mess around and with Alonso gone, this should sure as hell make good viewing.

I know I am going to Silverstone in July - Booked me tickets already!

Don't know what anyone else thought, but I thought that was a cracking start to the season

Great start for Hamilton, didn't realise until I read an article in the Telegraph but due to Mac/Mercs total team points deduction last season leaving them at the bottom of the pile they now get the smallest pit lane garage and the last choice of pit lane position. It means that they will not be able to carry the same amount of spares backup etc so any success this year will be more than well earned.

Back on the BBC next year.

No more adverts spoling the continuity of things.

That would be the end of "the chain" by Fleetwood Mac.

.....I haven't heard it anywhere yet, but yes Murray commentating would be wonderfull, he did a race year, I think it was the British GP, wasn't for ITV. Any commentary's got to be better that Martin "my knowlege of motor racing is so amazing" Brundle, if his understanding of the cars and tactics is so good why did he not do better when he was racing, and why is he not now involved with a team.

I'm amazed that the issue of who will commentate is such a prominent point of discussion :)

- a comment I saw earlier "replace James Allen with 'The Stig' " refers :D

As for fleetwood mac - Black Magic Woman, currently - but 'The Chain' would be a welcome return :tu:

Yes how dare he being in front in a slower car. He must apologise immediately and unreservedly...

And for all the other cars that dared not get straight out of the way... what can I say... at least it was made abundantly clear to them by suitable waving of fist that they may not defend their track position.:rolleyes:

They were actually in the 5th Garage (God (actually probably Bernie) knows why) for the first two races. Bahrain was the firs where they were in their correct (bast on last years finishing, how it usually works) last garage. Will have to see what happens when it's back in Europe next race.

looks like the telemetry doesn't agree

The media would like nothing better than a feud between Hamilton & Alonso, but I think we have to be wary of that - Martin Brundle did only call what he saw, but didn't appear to give Alonso much in the way of the benefit of the doubt??

I have to say I agreed with him, at the time :angel:
