Not sure i understand the OP's topic description (are you trying to say why are they so tight? F1 is anything but cheap!) but the press conference makes for some interesting reading. would have been great to see it televised as you can gain a lot more from body language than just reading the words.

couldn't agree more franger. it's getting ridiculous. whilst i feel sorry for the mods, they are not doing themselves any favours allowing people to continue posting messages while the boards are 'closed'. would be much better if they closed down as it would stop this horrendous delay and multiple threads.

what little respect i still had for Ted (it all but disappeared after his Singapore notebook) has totally gone now. hamilton wasn't penalised for hitting kimi, he was penalised for forcing him off the track. when will ted and these other F1 journo's realise that people fall for their supposedly wise words. he makes a few little digs ...

kimi'sgirl: scarlet fever: kimi'sgirl: Yeah its true which is quite sad although I daresay the farce that happened this year put paid to that.  Was still a surprise though but there is more money elsewhere which is how the Bern really works.

anametoremember: lhwinner: anametoremember: lhwinner:hes blaming safety cars because he doesn't want 2 blame the team. the only thing he can blame. Arh but even if his pit went well, he still could have lost out, as you know who pitted before sc car. The person who is upfront pre sc always loses out. he still could of won though u said it ...

yep, all of you complaining about what's wrong with F1 today should go and complete this questionnaire. i feared it would be all Renault/ING related but it's actually a pretty good survey.   fingers crossed they listen to us.......

tango1: alonsoraikkonen1:Well i think the penalty was fair and would love to tell people why but the moderators won't post any of my opinons!!   As I said before there was not point in having a penalty becuase one of the drivers crashed out anyway later on, so why punish someone if it made no difference to the end result, thats why ...

friendorfoe: friendorfoe:Twice yesterday they had dangerous pit stops that nearly caused a crash and injured one of their pit crew, not a great day for F1 safety!!Ferrari's two pit stop's were dangerous because the system they used was a new system which may have worked fine at Marenelo but obviously was unsuitable for the race.
