If Raikonnen hadn't crashed out he should have been up for investigation and penalty for his weaving in the run up to the first corner. Any advantage Hamilton had gained was completely negated at the point where he had allowed the Ferrari back completely ahead of him. From that point on he was fully entitled to continue to race aggressively, which ...

MrsFitz:Yep, the 'damage control' backfired in a spectacular fashion but he seems to have stuck to his guns about everything going to pot for the last few minutes of Q3...In a larger sense, there's a serious problem when a team has difficulty adapting its strategy to new circumstances. Maclaren had over 14 minutes to react to the fact that Alonso ...

fororo:Because he is the only one to blame: he created the whole mess by refusing to honour the team's internal procedures and for getting his camp to attract the FIA investigation by the uproar they created after yesterday's qualy Yep, Ron may have had a stressful month with the spying scandal, but he desperately needs to get his act together. ...

charleski:I can't find the text you quoted anywhere in the Times' coverage. Bah, sorry, my fault, yes it's there.

MrsFitz:Have a look at the times online... I can't find the text you quoted anywhere in the Times' coverage.

Hakone:Hmmm, interesting.... you removed FIA from my post....... You're totally missing the point. Do you understand the meaning of sponsorship contracts, media coverage etc? The FIA wants a brit champion this year and this is what is going to happen, no matter what the rest of the drivers do. Because I'm not going to disagree that the FIA ...

Hakone:I totally completely agree with you and that is exactly the point. No matter what Hamildon does he ALWAYS be covered and supported by RD, McLarenAnd yet in this case RD tried to screw LH and make him out to be the one at fault... That sort-of messes up your conspiracy theory a bit.

m00bie:Ron may have had conflicting interests but in that situation you should always tell the truth, its the only way to come out with integrity. Ron lied and has damaged Mclaren in my eyes. Ron is quilty in this act and deserves the teams punishment. He should know better than this and is not managing LH's best interests... I have to ...

MrsFitz:Apparently the exchange of words was the reason RD threw his headphones down in a bit of a strop (as reported on quite a few sites) And that's why RD went and grabbed Alonso's trainer by the scruff of the neck? Doesn't add up. (Not to mention that the RD headphone incident happened while LH was still busy screaming round the track trying ...
