    Ron and Alonso are not talking to each other it's well below the line, people it's cold deep cold. :eek:

    Will Alonso leave or will Ron get shot of him at the end of this season?

    I thought the Union Flag between the Finnish flags looked rather good.

    Well done Hamilton, could he be the new rain man? :D

    Best race so far lets have more in the rain which puts the drivers skill to the test.

    We´ll see how it goes for Mclaren.....

    Alonso will leave, quite sure about that, and once the team receives no money for the team position this year and also pays the fine we´ll see how long Hamilton will want to stay in Mclaren. Not anymore surprised Dennis looks so pale even if this year otherwise has been great.

    It´s not over till it´s over...

    Hamilton's driving to be investigated

    itv.com/f1 - Hamilton's driving to be investigated

    Lewis Hamilton is facing a stewards' investigation into his driving while under the safety car in the Japanese Grand Prix.

    The officials are understood to be considering whether Hamilton could have contributed to the collision between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel that took the duo out of second and third places during the second caution period at Fuji.

    "New evidence has been brought to the stewards attention and they are currently investigating the matter," an FIA spokesman told autosport.com.

    Vettel said at the time that he had hit Webber while distracted by Hamilton slowing unexpectedly.

    “I was exiting turn 13 and looking at Lewis, because all of a sudden he seemed to slow down really much and I thought he had a problem at that stage," Vettel told ITV Sport's Louise Goodman in Japan.

    “And by the time I was looking back to the front I was already crashing into Mark’s rear end.”

    Vettel, who was blamed for the accident was given a 10-place penalty for the future race in China.

    Results from China. Hamilton did not finish. 1. Räikkönen 2. Alonso 3. Massa

    So Alonso still got a chance.

    Coulthard is now not the only driver in history to crash in the pit-lane. :rolleyes:
    How ironic with the tarmac run off areas Hammy finds one of the few gravel traps.


    Vettel is a new star.

    It was not Hamilton's fault, why did the team keep him out there on worn out tyres? Sheer madness, what were they thinking pulling a stunt like that!

    OK, for the fans it's a shootout between Hamilton and Alonso along with the outside chance of Räikkönen pulling one out of the bag.

    Maybe part of their punishment for cheating was to make sure the Championship lasted until Brazil.
    I'm sure Bernie had a word in Ron's ear.
    "He's not allowed to win, yet."

    Must admit sometimes it feels like Bernie decides how it all ends...anyway, I had this strange feeling it won´t be over until the last race because Bernie would lose alot of money if people did not have any interest watching that race and now they have all the reason to watch it.

    And it´s not the first time....

    F1 has suffered a bureaucratic year which has dented the sport and I hope next year F1 gets back to grass roots, I feel F1 is on a slippery slope to a bigger scandal sooner or latter.

    F1’s governing body has opened a new investigation into McLaren, amid claims that the Woking based team may have sabotaged Fernando Alonso’s car in China, reports on Tuesday said. At the conclusion of the espionage saga last month, FIA president Max Mosley warned that the Paris body would closely monitor McLaren for signs of retribution against the Spaniard’s involvement in providing evidence that ultimately cost the team $100 million and exclusion from the constructors’ world championship.

    I agree with Jackie Sterwart, this season we have seen this heavy handed attitude which is nothing more than big brother and this is not needed in F1. If this crass attitude continues then the fans will start to say great teams shame about the Big Brother BS from the FIA.

    I suppose is was too much to ask Lewis to do it in his first season.
    I'm glad it wasn't Alonso, he was very unprofessional this year.
    Good job Kimi, I honestly thought he would never do it. I thought he wa s a car breaker and not skillful enough to be World Champion.
    Well Done.
    Good to have more than one Champion on the grid again.

    What a farce by the race stewards not to punish Williams and BMW for fuel irregularities, rules are rules.

    The FIA and Ferrari sleep in the same bed, both are bent.

    Rot in Hell FIA
