Good to see Vettel and Webber on the front row. At least there is a bit of competition this year. I hope they can avoid a brain fade that lets the Brawn's through this time round though.

Interesting , reading the last paragraph or so of this http://au.sports.yahoo.com/news/article/-/5668711 ,it looks like Eccelston is prepared to hang Mosely out to dry...Eccelston's got a lot of money sunk into F1 so it's pretty easy to see why he wouldn't want the major teams to leave.

I,m torn , on the one hand I'd love to see Webber get a win...But on the other I'd love to see button win the last race at Silverston:cry:

Yeah I know what you mean. I'd still like to see Mark stand on the top step though!

It will be warmer today which will help Jenson and hinder the RBs and Rubens. They think his smooth driving style is why he can't get heat into his tyres as well as RB and SV which is also why on the hot circuits he doesn't see his faster option tyre go off so quickly as the others. The rest of teh circuits this year are in hotter countires and the Red Bull is hard on its tyres.

It is good to see competition and it would be nice for Webber to get the win. Apparently after the Turkish GP Vettel was a bit miffed at having to let Webber finish second.

I think Rubens will have a dodgy start and drop back. Button I think will be in the top 3 at the end of the first couple of laps as long as he can get past Trulli at the start.

JB finishes 6th and remains 23 points in the lead....I should imagine he'll be happy with that.

It seems the Brawn needs a hot track which then wrecks RBRs tyres and allows Brawn to win.

I think in terms of outright performance then Brawn and Red Bull Cars are neck and neck.

Pfah...boring race...nice victory for Vettel...
but the race itself was a merry-go-around with almost no overtaking.

Because this season probably will be remembered for something else than his smooth driving style and sweet car.:cry:

Fair point....but a world championship crown should still bring with it huge riches, the likes he has never had before.

Seems to be a decent bet that that won't have been the last race at Silverstone after all. Huge crowd, everyone and his dog saying Silverstone is a great venue.

Nobody's bashing Donington, just saying the race should stay at Silverstone :yeah:

Isn't that exactly what they all said about Adelaide too?
And we know who didn't give a damn about that, right?:hmmm:

True. But it may be that the dynamic is different now. Even if the FOTA bunch still prefer to cut a deal to stay in F1, their willingness to leave if it comes to that is looking real. If they leave, circuits such as Silverstone should imho be back in (under the new flag of course). If they stay, and imho they have some good or at least relatively better negotiating leverage now, they will be able to influence on a variety of issues, including venue selection. Just my guess FWIW.

Maybe its better for Silverstone to lose F1.:rotfl:Williams, Force India + GP2 might not be that juicy.

FOTA could start racing in Montreal again too. To hell with all those desert tracks. (Except Bahrain)

@stabiz ... Yup, I think so too; close to win/win.

Meanwhile ... What a bunch! The original dysfunctional family.

So Mosley says on Sunday that he’s dropping the legal steps and it’s just a matter of talking and they’ll all sort it out. Of course, he does this hand-in-hand with a comment that the FOTA bunch are “lunatics”, which he said later was a joke.

That triggers good ol’ Flavio B, who’s never able to take anything lying down, to say “If he wants to go personal, I have a lot to say about Max. He needs to stop insulting people. I don't want to personally describe what Max is because in his private life we have already had a demonstration of what he was in the News of the World.”
