Formula 1 today
 

What the hell was that guy trying to today at silverstone?Trying to be killed?

Ive got a feeling that because of him, there wont be a british grand prix next year,

why, what happened? I missed it :(

A nutter came running on the track and started playing chicken with the cars..

He managed to avide getting killed and a marshel rughby tackeld him on to the grass.

WTF did he have a death wish or something? That is totally off the page :eek:

Did you see how quick they switched to the adverts ?? Was that just in case something happened ???

QOTD from Bernie Ecclestone when asked about the incident
"It probably was not necessary, it was an exciting race without that"

Full Story

I think they switched to adverts quickly just in case....
What was he protesting about???

apparently it was a 'Peace Protest' or as I think it was Martin Brundle pointed out, very nearly a 'Piece Protest' ;o)

very nearly a 'Piece Protest'
Lol to that!

Harah! Formula 1 finally becomes interesting!

They should have a streaker at the next one :)

There was a streaker in 200, i think, at that german circuit (forgot name)

Hockenheim

Thats the one!

unless i am mistaken they were already going to go to adverts , im sure i saw the flickery thing in the top right corner , got to agree though it was absoloute lunacy , i wonder how many broken bones the guy has got , if i was the marshall i would have broken every one he had , total ****ing stupidity , i hope it hasnt compromised next year :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Thats what im hoping as well...

I dont think the UK will have another GP at Silverstone! The organisation of it is totally crap compared to other countries. The next UK GP will probablr be at Donnington again like 1993.

I think thats a bit harsh matty, they have made big improvements to the infrastucture over the last year & there are more in the pipeline.

It's been said before that you can't make something idiot proof until you can predict quite how idiotic they can be - I think that bloke today proved that!

I, personally hope it stays at Silverstone, whatever the circumstances it was great racing, the best this season imo.:)

- and if it came to it I'd prefer Brands Hatch to Donington.:p

Im just going with the fact the FIA don't seem to want it at Silverstone anyway and uncle Bernie now thinks sercurity is crap there too lol! :D No British GP it is then ;)

I think you may be right there - it's a political spat - and I don't think Bernie should have the influence he has in the sport - I may be wrong, but look at what Don King did to boxing?

The grid discussion between Martin Brundle as the chairman of the British Motor Racing Drivers Association & Mr Mosely from FIA was quite interesting, though.:)

If Bernie can be taken at his word then Silverstone should be ok for a while, providing the funds are found

I'd prefer Brands Hatch, but I think Bernie Eccelstone hates the circuit.

On the cut to the adverts, I was watching it and it seemed certain that they were already going into the commercials when the picture suddenly cut to the shot of the man on the track and you heard "oh...!" from Martin Brundle that was cut off as the Toyota sponsorship pictures cut in.

Although as one of the commentators pointed out "The car in front *is* a Toyota"! It was just wierd seeing De Matta leading a GP!!

A final point, god must *really* have it in for David Coulthard!

I felt happy for de matta, leading a race so early on in his f1 carrer,

And yea god those have it in for david!

In case you haven't heard, Justin Wilson has joined Jaguar.
Pizza man is being kept on as a test driver.

that could be well interesting i reckon :) :) :)
