McLaren's weekend of the long knives.

This shows that both drivers want to win and they hate each others guts.

Well done L.H.


I here we got Singapore next year and it's a night race.

Must say Wow (!??) to Hamilton. I cannot think Kimi Räikkönen could have ever said that to Dennis but Hamilton did. If Hamilton was just only a promising driver I´m sure he was already looking for a new job....

Well, it seems Ferrari does not have rules about which of their drivers may win...

Anyway, Alonso getting closer now...!!

My bet is that Mclaren wins but which driver...??

I here Alonso is going to testify against his own team about some email he rec'd over the spying scenario that's going on.

I wonder if this will lead to his chop at the end of the season.

Alonso said he got e-mail ( among othet things ) from de la Rosa on the weaknesses of the new Ferrari based on the data. This means that whatever Dennis said before that nobody else knew or used the info was false. Definitely Alonso gets " Das Boot " by McLaren unless it is shown that he was to lose his F1 licence unless he told everything ( like some sources claim ). And it is quite obvious he is kicked out anyway for talking.

Alonso wins and sticks two finger up.

Hats off to Hamilton stealing second place back and limit the point damage.

McLaren loses points, fined $100M

PARIS – The McLaren team has been fined $100 million (U.S.) and stripped of all of its points in the constructors' standings in the spy scandal that has rocked the sport.

Team drivers Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, who are currently 1-2 in the championship standings, were not punished.

Sadly, I have to agree. And the 'spy scandal' just about sums it up for me. It really is, all about the 'wonga'.....

Don´t believe they are willing to get Mclaren out of the competition as it´d do more harm than help anyone but we must remember also that sometimes rules have been pretty hard although this was WRC:

"In 1994, Kankkunen won the Rally TAP Portugal with ST185, and finished 2nd in Rally Australia on the first appearance of ST205.

Sadly for Kankkunen, this relationship also went somewhat awry eventually, for with the Finn still at the team during 1995 Toyota were found guilty of the implementation of illegal turbo restrictor bypasses on their Toyota Celica ST205 cars. At the discretion of the FIA's Max Mosley Toyota were subject to a public humiliation, and duly banned from the World Championship until 1997."

Juha Kankkunen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Too harsh that was but we have only part of the story and its time for the rest to come out.

On last nights news the F.I.A were seconds away from throwing Mclaren out of the rest of the 2007 season and the 2008 as well.

Looking forward to qualifing today,Belgium GP, as we visited the circuit last October, now it will be nice to see it in use again.
I didn't realise how close we were to the La Gleize King Tiger.
But as it was a day off from the battlefields maybe it was a good thing we didn't go.
Can't expect the family to do a battlefield all the time.

Wink Re: F1 and new rules

Yeah,

but Kimi won!!!! Alonso slowly going for top position....next season in Renault again, perhaps, if Renault gets to race next year. I just read they are facing the same kind of charges as Mclaren except that they used the info to make their F1 better. Don´t remember though where they got the info from...

The front four didn't race but there was alot of action mid-field.
Sutil showing what he can do in a Spyker.
Kubica working through the field.
What about Weber's moves?
Admittedly it wasn't spectacular but sometimes F1 has a subtle side.
