Agree about Alonso, but if it came down again this year to Alonso or Vettel then I would cheer for Alonso again. Marginally more likable then Vettel.

I know I shouldn't be so childish, etc but I would really love an injury to Vettel, doesn't even have to be in a car, that stops him from racing for 2 or 3 races so he can't rack up points.

Just been announced on SKY Sports News that Ferrari have had their case closed as they used a 2011 car which was within the rules in their test session but Mercedes will be taken to a full tribunal. So sounds like they used either a 2012 or 2013 car in their test.

Mercedes used this years 2013 car in the test. That has been stated. I dont beileve Ross Brawn would have broken the rules so i thik its ether FIA's fault or Pirelli's fault

Didn't realise it had been stated. So wonder what punishment they will get. Probably a warning, seeing as how it is Ross Brawn, the man who never seems to do wrong with the FIA.

I dont think he has done to tbh. I just cant see him risking a ban and his rep for a few days testing. He knows this year isnt Mercedes' year and know 2014 is the year he is focusing on

Mercedes 'Welcome chance to respond'

A Mercedes statement said they would "explain the full facts of the test in an open and transparent manner".
It added that "sporting integrity is of primary importance to Mercedes" and they had "the utmost confidence in the due process of the FIA".

Canadian GP: marshal killed in crane accident

[denphone]

A very sad accident and my thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Didn't Martin Brundle get annoyed when pictures of the crane driving along the grass were shown. He said it more dangerous having the crane and marshals remove the car rather than just leaving it there.
