I’m gonna go out a limb and say that the British Grand Prix will be Button’s 1st dnf of 2009 and may even be the venue of Rubens’ 1st win of 2009

OOOpps i just realised how my comment there may have looked.

I did not mean i have a problem with americans, i do live amongst a few hundred million of them.

I meant the Americans say period, not Fullstop.

Well maybe people have now realised that the favouritism people barked about for years is now known as true then what is the point harking on about it.

I agree it will a time of joy if we’re all talking about the result of the British Grand prix 2010. I don’t care about the venue, just so long as there is a race and for years to come.
The icing on the cake would be to have no involvement from Max Mosley and Bernie Ecclestone.

With Bernie & Max, who knows?
I think the media has made by far too much of the money side & hardly covered the other issues at all.
The governance is equally as important.

Now I understand! No wonder Ferrari are miffed at Max suddenly changing the rules, it isn’t what they signed up for (and presumably isn’t covered by the Memo of Understanding unless its very vaguely worded).
So why isn’t Bernie upset with Max as well? His attempts to get a Concorde Agreement seem to have hit a brick wall. Could there be some sort of ‘Gentlemen’s Ageement’ between the old dudes allowing them to play around with the suckers who run the teams?

OI’m rather late with this, but I’ve only just gotten back from the above mentioned Download festival – I wouldn’t mind a bit of clarification on the ‘no cars on site’ claim, as there were several surrounding fields full of cars this past weekend. If Gillett means that there were no cars within the confines of Donington Park itself, that’s obvious; Download itself his year, meaning the multiple campsites and main arena, takes up virtually the entire space save for the actual circuit. It’s like saying that there are no cars parked on the track!

Aside from that, I have to report that leaving the site by car today presented few problems. Everything was handled sensibly and the only serious queue we encountered was due to a car getting stuck in the mud at the exit of the car park. If Gillett’s plan for a public transport GP comes to fruition, that sort of thing might not be an issue.

(Sorry for the long, and possibly irrelevant, comment!)

Is Donnelly just another glove puppet for Max now!, I don’t trust Donnelly anyway, and it’s good to see his position called into question, as it may reaffirm some real impartiallity in the stewarding.
