Not amused, Kimi in the lead, can't stand him, he's so monosyllabic, emotionless and boring.

Rubens making some cracking moves, up to 12th now after his awful start.

Kymmy · 30-08-2009, 13:31

Not in the mood to watch the rest of the race.. Must be this banging headache I've got

Wheel meet again.... Alonso has another wheel based pit disaster..

Hom3r · 30-08-2009, 13:59

I'm wheely sad about that, NOT

Looking at the replay of the crash from various angles, i think it may have been Buttons fault as he didn't give Romain space on the corner and turned into him. Both drivers are currently blaming each other!

Kymmy · 30-08-2009, 18:57

Possible sour grapes from Nelson Piquet?

Superb result for Fisi and Force India, congratulations on your first podium

Personally i think Raikonnen should of been penalised for his first corner antics, he new exactly what he was doing going on the run off area to get a better angle/drive. Not a chance though!

Kymmy · 31-08-2009, 10:46

Grrrr

I feel like swearing at this next headline (only problem is that I'd have to infract myself for doing so!!!!)

Fisi is probably gonna move to Ferrari for the Italian GP

That really does show what loyalty he has for his current team

Jon T · 31-08-2009, 11:30

Loyalty to his current team, or loyalty to his country? Tough decision.

SnoopZ · 31-08-2009, 11:33

Also i think Ferrari will pay Force India alot of money for his services which they probably need.

Kymmy · 31-08-2009, 11:33

But ferrari isn't his country

He's contracted to Force India, that should be where his loyalties lie..

They should have a rule in place that drivers can NOT swap teams mid season and also a team should nominate 1 or 2 reserve drivers for the season..

Depends which way you look at it, Ferarri are a national treasure in Italy, not just a motor manufacturer/F1 team(as you know

). For Fisi to be asked to drive for Ferarri at Monza is probably a greater honour for him that winning the world championship and the lottery in the same day.

Also, contractual constraints or not, i'm sure Force India aren't exactly going to lose out on this. They're struggling financially, so i'm sure VJ will use the (potential) move as a device to ease his financial worries.

Ban in-season driver moves or risk a team going out of existence? I'm not sure which way I feel on this. What happens in sports like football(I really have no idea)?

In the absence of any real news on the no.2 driver at Ferrari there is a good "spoof" on the official Ferrari website.
