The more I watch this season the more I dislike all the ridiculous rules and hearing radio coms. at least Alonso was reserved - better than Vettel 'WOOOOHOOOO YEEEAAAAAHHHH, YES, YES, THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, OHHHHH YEEEEEEHHAAAAAAA' like an overexited child. Qualifying is an absolute joke now it was novel at first but I am yearning for a traditional 2 day 2 hours each plenty of time to see who is really the fastest. Also funny isn't it after a recent rule change, Ferrari and Red Bull cars seem about even, Mclarens are now significantly slower than them. I don't mind that it keeps the big teams competing, BUT - Renault have obviously really suffered with this - where were they? battling with Sauber etc... when they were up with the best of the rest as it were, seems a little unfair to them if you ask me. Also, why dissallow something that is technically simple while allowing hideously complex and expensive systems like KERS. Bernie and FIA have their heads wedged firmly up each others backsides and they're screaming 'We'll never pull them out!' Sheesh... now we have team strategy being affected by radio coms being broadcast - not to mention Pirelli tyre monopoly, aswell as being pressed to make tyres that wear out quicker !!?!??!? 10 or so laps (whats that 25 miles max?) and then they're gone is absoulutely ludicrous.

Anyway, the Silverstone GP - Well done Alonso great drive. Well done Hamilton, the best Mclaren could hope for and apart from you the other top 6 positions were decided completely by pit stops/pit crew screw ups. Vettel is looking decidedly shaky ATM when he gets someone close up to him he starts twitching all over the place even when its his team mate. Also he doesn't seem to have the willpower/ability to overtake. He always gets a good start etc.. so quite often he dosn't need to I guess. That boy needs to spend some time being beat though or he'll never be able to do it. Really feel for Webber in that 'team' He's a good driver and at Turkey, and Silverstone he IS quicker than Vettel. I hope he dosn't quit after redbull but I can't see him wanting to stay on in a less competitive team and I can't see him staying on with redbull now either.

I remember a race where Mansells pit crew failed to properly attach the right rear, of course being the rear he didn't realise til he got out on the track... At least Button didn't have to experience that but yeah I'd be fuming if I were him. Still, these things will happen. Oh yeah Force India need to sort their stuff out, Diresta was holding his own in 7th until their wrong tyres screw up. That sort of screwup shouldn't ever happen.

For those of you still bitching about team orders.

No, not "bitching"....simply more a case of debating and discussing a situation or event that undoubtedly occurred.

Well good on Webber then, another few laps he'd have got him. It would bug me so much if I didn't have to hear it. Personally I think they should ban pit to car radio and go back to pit boards. Or even just a display on your wheel that gives the gap to the guy in front and the gap to the guy behind every time you cross the line. or something. :yawn: Maybe I watch next one with sound off, its not as though I'd be missing much.

Webber gets another pole position with Hamilton on 2 and Vettel on 3. will be interesting to see who gets the jump at the start.

Go Webber! You've had the Wallabies and Cadel Evans to inspire you already this weekend.

This is his big chance...it'll be interesting to see how it pans out.

My prediction....Hamilton, Vettel, then Webber (provided it is a clean race).

Mad Dog Hamilton wins!

Not bad race.

Got 1st and 3rd correct :smug:

Hamilton did well at the start and never looked like losing. Webber lost it at the off and never looked like recovering.

Well I missed the live event....was watching the India test :03:

Excuse me for a second!

What the chuff are the BBC thinking? Retards!

The 2012 F1 season is now only fully available on Sky Sports. Niiiiiiiiiiice!:nope:

Sky get ALL practice, qualifying and race sessions, while the Beeb is allowed to broadcast only half of the races (races only mind you).

Dammit. :-?

Don't worry Dan i went on a massive rant to many people on twitter.
Just had to get it out of my system.
BBC = :dead:

B******ds

BBC GREED FOR MONEY VIA THE LICENCE FEE TO PAY THERE OVER PAID PRESENTERS HAS RESULTED IN THE RISE IN THE FEE SUSPENDED BY THE GOVERNMENT. F1 GREED FOR MONEY HAS NOT HELPED ONE BIT! THANKS TO BOTH THE BBC & F1 GREED WE ARE SCREWED.

At least Sky will never get the FA Cup :smug:

Don't count on it...World domination of sport is there plan. :shifty:

Maybe but there are a few national events such as the Grand National as well as a few more I can't recall right now which they'll never get.

Unless of course all the UK go digital at some point in the future but seeing the costs for subscriptions I doubt everyone would be in a position to pay the price.

Take myself for example, I'm paying between £90 and £95 per month atm :stare:

The UK Lesbian jello wrestling?




Most of the UK is! The SE is the last area to go digital next year. :smug:

I know your talking about Sky.

Bloody Conservative Voter. :haha:

Would you like to see a picture of my political party membership card?

I'll leave the guesswork to you :03:

Conservative or Labour Conservative or Liberal Conservative.

There all a bunch of of useless twonks who could not organise a gang bang in a brothel. :rotfl2:
