OK, I've kept away from further discussion of this point because I'm way too biased and it's all a bit close. However, despite that, there are a couple of points I must make  before I shut up about it for ever.  Some facts: NPJ was an idiot and I don't defend his actions so please don't bother with throwing that one at me ...

coops3: raikkster: GreyKitten: disappointed:Do you think Junior should be given another shot at F1, this time with a real team? This whole affair puts the boy's entire F1 career in a new light. Maybe he's not as bad of a driver as Renault made him seem. He is a talented driver but I don't know if has the emotional strength required for ...

morgandude: coops3: it wouldn't be the first time Alonso has started a race very light. That's been their strategy a few times.    Errr... hang on.....12 LAPS!!!!! What real advantage could be gained? You would have to be VERY hopeful, if not certain of a Safety Car. Sorry, something just smells a bit fishy here, but as I said ...

Not linked to F1 at all. Uncle had a small F3 team back in the 70's and got to know a few people who were in F3 then and eventually moved on to F1, but only on a friends and acquaintances basis - I don't work in it and wouldn't want to!!  

champalonso: Well, as a parent, what would not be acceptable to me is my son waiting a whole year before suddenly remembering that he had a conscience.  The only reason Piquet Jnr said anything was because he knew his F1 career was over, so he had to ruin the careers of several - if not hundreds -of people in the process.  ...

jax70: hi greykitten,  it must have been difficult for you stayng away - well done.     I have only one observation on this really   why did Nelson jr left it so long before speaking up,  and then only in a revenge attack -  that is what has let him down and done him no favours Nice to ...

Diver123: Sorry ... I don't buy it. Nelson should have left the room with a loud and clear NO *** WAY. Followed by a visit to Mr MM to communicate the sad news. Make no mistake; Nelson could still be prosecuted for reckless driving and even reckless endangerment. These are very serious charges of which he is clearly guilty and one ...

I've kept out of here for a while because I knew a little bit about what was going on and was worried about saying anything out of place that could land me in trouble! All I will say on it is that NP Snr has come in for a lot of flack on here but I've know him for over 30 years and he may be a lot of things but he is not an ...

the crow: I am absolutely at the end of my tether. I have had to put the grandparents into care. Before you think that I am being too harsh, please understand that I have my reasons.  After I got home in my practice trolley after a hard day at the tracks I went into the living room to find them sharing a cup of tea and an iced bun with ...
