After all thats been said I did notice that Martin Brundle said this:
"It's an energy drinks company with a customer Renault engine taking on and beating the might of Ferrari, Mclaren and Mercedes Benz"
Make of that what you like.
(Just after the race on the "victory" lap)

Lewis Hamilton is taking a 5 place grid penalty where ever he qualifies due to a gearbox change He qualified 3rd in Q3 and become 8th due to his grid penalty.. Then a McLaren top 5 finish.. Hamilton is still in the title race if theres no more faults on the MP-24. All he has to do is win the next two races consecutively then he'd be ridin' solo...  |

Still think its a bit of a long shot for Mclaren now. Not impossible but a long shot |

Not impossible but a long shot But anything could happen in the next 3 last races. As this is Formula One.. ;D As Alonso is closing up on Webber |

Good driving from Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber today. The team deserved a good result and at last Red Bull this year have converted a all front row to a 1-2  |

As this is Formula One.. ;D As Alonso is closing up on Webber Oh yeah definatly. Still a long shot tho!! I'd love to see the number 1 on a Mclaren for a third year running, but I'm being realistic. Red bull seem to have given up on shooting themselvs in the foot for now. Not as dominant as they where when it was like 1.5seconds a lap faster or something but still very strong. Korea is a complete unknown for everyone so who knows!! |

Another race where we in the UK have to get up early |

I'll be sleeping in until the re-run so I can catch up on sleep missed from uni!! Must admit, finished work at 11 yesterday night so decided I'd stay up for the qualifying. Made it feel even more odd watching the race  ;D From what I've heard, Korea has quite a few long straights which should favour the McLaren with its F-Duct and the far superior straight line speed. In reality, I can only see Button doing anything for McLaren now. He seems to have the knack of pulling something out of the bag on a circuit where they struggle, where Hamilton still has alot of anger management issues with his driving. He still needs to learn how to control that and use it to his advantage, rather than doing a Kobayashi and going all suicidal on drivers  |

He still needs to learn how to control that and use it to his advantage, rather than doing a Kobayashi and going all suicidal on drivers I know his first move was as Martin Brundle put it Kobaybashy but you have to admit the rest of Kobayashi's overtakes where great. Stand aside I'm coming through!!!! I suppose he felt the need to put on a show for the home crowd and It was something to break up what was lets be honest otherwise a bit of a dull race. I know Lewis' gearbox robbed us of a good battle but other than that not a lot happened after the initial banger racing at the start. That and a couple of escaping rear wheels. Here's something I wanted a few opinions on. Jonathan Legard... Good or not Good? There has been a bit of rumbling about him on planetf1.com I personally perfer the 5Live team but I also like Martin Brundle a lot. Oh and I couldn't help but have a grin at Lee McKenzie this weekend... She just looked terified every time she was on camera. Still, very easy on the eye!! And did an ok job in what must be a very intimidating job despite looking terified!! |

Chances are Hamilton will be starting another 5 grid spots down next week as it appears as if another gearbox change is needed. Doubt he or the other McLaren are in the title race anymore. That leaves it as a three horse race, two from the team with no "No history no passion no link to the motor industry nothing." and Alonso from the team sponsored by a cigarette company owned by Fiat. Not much choice hey? |

(Suzie Perry don't raise me as much as Lee McKenzie... and I'm not pardoning anything ;D ;D ;D ) And she's a bit old for me... On the plus side Lee McKenzie is a fully qualified WRC co driver and I can't help but find that a bit lot sexy... Sexy woman + Rally cars = my idea of a perfect woman... Ok she talks funny and has slightly dodgy dress sense (see saturdays washed out quali) but I'd learn to live with that... (cos I'm perfect in every way didn't ya know!! ) |
