Schumi was set to get me some serious points until he bashed his nose into K.K. He has had more contact this year then any driver. Lost all respect for RBR with their "We will let them race b.s." Weber is in a catch 22. Do you leave the best car were you play second fiddle for a worse car... tough spot to be in.

If Ferrari don't win again this year I think that proves that Jean Todt still has loyalties to the prancing horse.

That was my point, exactly...

Yep! I could not beleive that happened. Other than that it was a pretty good race. Alonso, only the 3rd person to beat Vettle this yr., and it happened in the pits.

Why RBR tell Webber to stay back? It's not like it would have hurt Vettle in the points.

I think it would have been to avoid a reversal of Turkey last year.

i say it everytime... no need to this time.

Even without the jack problem for Vettel, Alonso was the man to beat. And stupid Hami for running Massa off the road... i know it was racing, no one was to blame but im a Massa fan, so eat a bag of dicks Hamilton.

Following everything that has gone on this weekend, including the results of the race, I think there are going to be some pretty convincing conspiracy theories floating around.

Agreed... Either that or undeniable proof of who really runs the FIA, Lol!

It's funny... the sporting regs are written each season, teams then scramble to meet the regs and exploit any loopholes, other teams see what exploits work well and what don't, but no rules are broken. Maybe bent, in some cases, but any team can and does exploit the loopholes. One team has a dominant half a season and the regs are changed to favor another team(s) and hopefully take away the dominant advantage. WTF is that? The outcome was exactly as the FIA wanted, but why change the regs mid-season? The teams ALWAYS find ways to exploit the loopholes, it's part of the sport... build a car to get around the course in the shortest time, while complying with all the written regs and exploiting the loopholes. Some teams are better at finding the loopholes and exploiting them and they get penalized for being better? It's ridiculous how the FIA tries to "level" the playing field by giving advantages to a team who clearly don't have the same problem solving skill set as another, or in this case, taking away the "earned" advantage of a team(s) able to solve a problem, thereby, effectively giving an advantage to the flunky team(s) that can't find a winning solution. Plain retarded... at least (for now), it's only 1 race they're f-ing with. But, as we've seen this weekend alone, the FIA can and will roll over on their own decisions, again and again...

End rant...

ok for those of us who dont have cable, and with RU being down, any good alternatives?

I just watched it live on ustream... ads weren't obnoxious, didn't have to join to watch it through the finish. Good race, I'll watch it again when it airs on Fox though, as I missed the first 20 laps searching for a good live stream, Lol!

So now the blown diffuser ban is only for the British GP WTF The FIA is pathetic. They can not get anything right. Why even have a ban for one race. They fucked this up so bad. Mosely wasnt great but Todt is a fucking moron. He couldnt run an ice cream stand with his leadership skills. He has not made one decision that he hasnt had to go back and change... what a jerkoff...End rant


I guess when rbr took pole anyway they said fuckit

They went back and changed it again so that it is up to the teams, and Ferrari shot it down real quick and was like, "yeah about that, we are keeping the ban bitches"

I'm implying that Mark Webber doesn't take shit from anyone, if they did some sketch shit he would make sure to pay them back for it, and you would sure as hell know it.

haha ok. yeah that little GIF of him slamming that cup down at last year's british grand prix cracks me up every time. :)
