Sport The Formula 1 Thread

DRS is only shit when it works against the drivers you like. I was bemoaning it in Canada when Schumacher was raped at the end.

The truth is, after a season of uncertainty, it will be used much better next year, with more of an idea of where to place it to make cars attack, but offer the chance to defend.

Doesn't have much to do with drivers I like or don't - I want to see really good battles. Hamilton wouldn't have held him off, but at least we might have seen some skillful defensive driving from Lewis and a good overtake from Webber. Would we have seen Alonso v Schumacher at Imola 2005 with DRS? No-one likes the Trulli train but I'd rather they sort out the difficulties following close properly instead of giving the following car a huge advantage at one point of the track and hoping that sorts it out.

Lewis to be disqualified for getting in the way of a red machine.

[Rocafella]

Fuck off Red Bull with your team orders.

[DarthSquirrel]

Coulthard: "Great defensive driving from Lewis there"

[wev]

Lewis to be disqualified for getting in the way of a red machine.

Definetly.

[ryodi]

Nice one Lewis, I await your time penalty from the stewards.

[marsh]

Break out the extra special 'hammy ban hammer'

[Naysonymous]

An afternoon with Murray Walker.

[myoozikk]

Bollocks to team orders it may be legal but I HATE it.

Sure the stewards will fuck with the results as well.

[the_debaser]

I don't think Hamilton could have done a lot more there, he wasn't given much space by Massa.

[Big Gus]

Brilliant race. Yasss Alonso.

Complaining about DRS and KERS is like complaining that it all started to go wrong when they took the carbs off and stuck on fuel injection.

But hey you stick to you outdated misconceptions if its working for you

[Monbee]

I wonder how long Hamilton was saving fuel for - when we heard the radio message it said 'the current fuel saving isn't enough' - had he started slowing after he popped out just beyond Alonso?

His tyres were locked too, Hamilton couldn't have done anything more to avoid that collision.

[Chooch]

The women applauding the drivers walking through is just embarrassing.

[exwhyzed]

Will there bee as much furore over Red Bull team orders as there was Ferrari

[myoozikk]

So Ferrari use the FIA to move the goalposts then win a race. I am jacks lack of surprise.

Also again team orders legal or not can do one!

I'm not sure about DRS one way or another, but I don't see how they are comparable. DRS is giving an artificially introduced advantage to one car over another. Fuel injection doesn't.

Annoying as they are, no there wont because it was illegal when Ferrari did it but they aren't this season.

[marsh]

I agree, it's better when they just stand there with their funbags out.

I'm only suprised be Allolso's massive lack of pleasure at winning. Seems a bit 'meh' by it all tbh.

[JohnC]

That's a load of bullshit from Horner. The team would have got the same points whichever way around they were.

[wev]

haha! Horners been so good at speaking to the press in recent years, now he's having to learn how to back peddle and isn't really doing so well at it.

[dan_tm]

I bet Webber replied with something on the radio that they couldn't broadcast.

[exwhyzed]

Hamilton's incident was no different to Schumacher's earlier in the race. Lets see if the stewards have the balls to have consistency.

[Halo]

Christian Horner's awkward backtracking is quite entertaining to watch.

[JPR]

What an amazing race, don't remember such an exciting last lap for a long time. Glad Ferrari have finally won and an impressive win at that, hopefully they can reproduce last seasons where they but on a charge starting at Silverstone, unlucky for Button and Di Resta. Thought Schumacher had a good race again apart from the mistake with Kobi, I think he's still got it as a racer just slightly more prone to mistakes and misjudgements not which put him at a disadvantage.

[Rocafella]

You just have to be happy it wasn't another Vettel cruise to victory. A Vettel second is as good as it gets nowdays.

[marsh]

I cannot stand Horner, or the organisation he works for.

He has 2 drivers that cannot race each other without crashing into one another.

It's the evolution of motorsport. you can by an Audi TT with a wing that comes up when you get over a certain speed. So why not have adjustable aero devices.
