Glock should be off the track anyway. When are the guys going to figure out why it is called motor racing? I think for too long they have been wrapped up in cotton wool with you can't do this do that etc...All's fair in love and war.

Jimbuna 09-15-08 02:15 PM

Glock will probably do himself a serious injury in the attempt. :lol:

Good race at Monza, bring on the night race next. :up:

SS107.9MHz 09-16-08 06:35 AM

Anybody know any site where you can see the races? It's been 3 years since Portuguese TV gave up on the F1, so the only way we can get it would be thru the web or payperview...:down:

Falkirion 09-16-08 08:34 PM

Well we're all going in cold for the next race. Singapore GP, first night race ever held under lights for F1 in the modern era.

Im looking forward to seeing how well its run, circuit layout looks interesting.

I hope that I will have the chance to quote these words again when LH gets paid with his own coin :D

Fine if Glock is ballsy enough and can catch LH. Toyota isn't usually in that position.

KR squeezed LH at Spa, LH squeezes Glock at Monza.

Before these sort of moves never drew comment now they do since F1 has become so sanitised.

stabiz 09-17-08 09:35 AM

Wow, if you dont see the difference between those two incidents you must be new to racing.

XabbaRus 09-17-08 09:46 AM

No I have been watching racing for a long time and I really do not see any difference between the two.

I also do not think that LH deliberately squeezed Glock off the track. I saw it from a different angle and Glock wasn't up along side LH.

You know before Hamilton came on the scene I have never read such a hoo ha about those sort of moves by other drivers even in the MS era or with Senna and Prost, but with LH everyone is claiming foul.

Im with you here, that kind of manouvers were what made racing exiting in the past. Hell, take a look at Massa vs. Kubica in Japan at the end of the 2007 season, they both forced eachother off track at times, but noone complained back then and I dont see why they are complaining now.

You can see here what I am talking about

Wish there was more tire to tire battles in F1 where they literaly force eachother into tight spots adn to the edges of the tracks. More racing with balls than with just regulations.

XabbaRus 09-17-08 02:00 PM

Missed that first time round. What was going on there was worse than anything that happened in the last two wet races. I twas great, wheel bumping, forcing each other off, cutting corners and the other guy having to go round. That is what racing is all about.

good that LH has fans, good that he is a good driver but bad when they cry when he is not first. Mclaren did everything to kick Alonso, now their Star is supposed to shine more but everyone is against. Coming back to penalty for LH-as I said before it wasn't "clean" 100% but F1 had dozens of examples like this. The regulations that antikristuseke mentioned kill the fight-maybe that's good mby not. Forza Ferrari.

Let me tell you an old joke:

A man drives his car in the highway, starts the radio and suddenly a breaking news is heard: "Warning! Warning to all drivers in the M2 Highway" -Hu? That's me- thinks the driver "There is one dangerous mad driving in inverse direction, stay clear to avoid collision!"

The man raises his head to peer thorugh the windshield and schocked by what he sees yells: "One??? There are ******g dozens of them!!!!"

Everybody is claiming foul with LH....might it be that it REALLY is foul? :roll:

XabbaRus 09-18-08 02:37 AM

I'm not crying that he is not first or didn't win the race. I'm annoyed because LH has driven in a similar manner to some of the other great drivers - not that that makes him great - but there was never the groundswell of complaint from the drivers about Senna, MS etc but with LH there is.

I call it sour grapes......

Hitman 09-18-08 06:47 AM

I think that probably the reasons for that different treatment are:

1) That those great drivers did such things once they were already champions or very veteran

2) I can't remember right now Schumacher, Senna or any of those saying that their rivals didn't have the balls to brake later. Much less if their rival was a well renowned driver and already world champion before them.

It's Lewis´arrogance and lack of modesty (Again, without ever having won anything) what angers people so much, me thinks.

bert8for3 09-22-08 05:39 PM

Hamilton's appeal re Spa was heard today, with ruling supposed to come out tomorrow.

Odds on stewards' decision being reversed: 1 in 700 billion is my guess. :know:

Kapt Z 09-22-08 09:03 PM

I hope they do rethink their decision, but I am not optimistic either.:-?

Dowly 09-23-08 12:38 AM

They wont change the decision anymore at this point, me thinks.
