I wouldnt know, im here in kenya and every sport channel is bloody rugby or cricket :(

No offence James, but I assume you ended up in Kenya deliberately ?

You were'nt heading for Kent originally were you ?;)

 

Just for you, Alonsos just tried to ram Hamilton off the track in the first corners...actually he tried to shove him right out of Belgium:d

It just simply doesn't work like that.

The engineers work for the team, not the individual drivers. Alonso, Hamilton, whoever, won't have a say over who does or does not get to hear about the set-up of their cars. It's not in the interest of the team for one driver to withold information. Do you think Ron would let them get away with doing that?

 

Boring race??? Sutil was on an absolute flyer! In the first 20 laps he went from 19th to 12th. I was on the edge of my seat! I suggest you try watching the race whilst also viewing the live FIA lap and sector times on formula1.com. That way you get a much better picture of what is happening in the race than the rather poor coverage on ITV.

Sutil overtook 7 people, and Kubica overtook 6 in the first stint, and then he managed to get Kovaleinen in the last stint. Kovaleinen managed to make 3 places and Barichello also made a place (and then promptly lost it to Sato) in the first stint.

 

That's all overtaking on merit, not in pitstops or by people retiring. So I would say there was a reasonable amount of overtaking. It's just that it's not covered on T.V.

Good to see your guy doing well.The changes to the car seem to be working.Good luck with the rest of the season.

 

Cheers. Hopefully the last few circuits should suit the new package even more. :)

 

The biggest thing that's put a smile on our faces is that due to McLaren's unfortunate dismissal from the constructors championship, Spyker will by default finish 10th, and hence receive a share of the television rights. This makes a MASSIVE difference to us.

Coupled with the promised investment from Mallya when (note when not if ;) ) that deal is finalised, next season and '09 are starting to look very promising indeed. Can't wait! :eyebrows:

I quite enjoyed it despite Hamiltons disappointing (IMO) result. Plenty of movement and passing in the middle orders, and a pleasant surprise to see an orange car doing well too. No wonder you're smiling Tony. :)

Who else thinks Alonso is just a big jealous cry baby ?

 

His 1st corner attack on Lewis showed that he has massive bad feelings towards him. He clearly made a definitive move towards Lewis with no reason to back it up. I just watched the replay and he had plenty of room on his inside, absolutley no reason to turn his steering wheel into Lewis.

 

His bribary actions within McLaren if true show his jealous character to the whole world.

 

I'm just watching each race hoping that he crashes from now on ;)

 

 

Very boring race.... made even more frustrating with all the fooking ad breaks. I've only ever watched a couple of full races on ITV.... usually the 1st ad break is when I turn off.

 

 

But the title race makes things a little interesting.
