“Some people enjoy the glitz and glamour and all the scandal and gosspi…I’m not one of them. For me, make F1 more like MotoGP- great racing, colorful and fun personalities, celebrations on the victory laps, and races here in the USA as well as Britian, France, etc…”

You said Brother….agreed

yer right

Look I like the track, I just get sick of the moaning…British Gp this and that and how hard done by the Brits are….

Get the useless prat Damon Hill off his backside and raise the $$$ need to cement the track into the calendar for good.

Yes we all know Burnie is a greedy little man, etc, but ok we get it…do you want the GP or not?

I know there are people who believe this has happened, but even if it did Ecclestone and Mosley wouldn’t be dumb enough to leave behind any evidence that it did.

Some of the biggest scandals in recent years have only come to light because people involved made stupid mistakes.

Ferrari were only supposed to have found out McLaren had a copy of their dossier because Coughlan’s wife used a public copy shop to copy the documents.

McLaren and Hamilton saying they didn’t tell him to let Trulli past in Melbourne earlier this year was not only wrong but stupid considering the Stewards had access to the radio transmissions.

And if Briatore had treated Piquet better and didn’t sack him halfway through the season he probably would not have come forward and revealed what really happened at Singapore last year.

Some people enjoy the glitz and glamour and all the scandal and gosspi…I’m not one of them. For me, make F1 more like MotoGP- great racing, colorful and fun personalities, celebrations on the victory laps, and races here in the USA as well as Britian, France, etc…

Next year: Ferrari, Alonso vs Massa, watch the fireworks…

Well, and Monaco, where the run off area’s, track width and pit space are all whoefully inadequate. And they pay no money.

If the greedy b***ards who orchestrate the sport are intent upon driving a stake through the heart of the sport, and losing all support from the people they are supposed to be entertaining, then they have perfected their formula.

This year for me marks one of the lowest points in F1, and i’ve been watching since 1976.

one of the worst acts of cheating seen in any sport

Come on Keith that’s just ridiculous.

Looks like Ferrari will take years to shrug off the negative image which surrounded them for so long

Damn right. I don’t like them in any way and doubt I ever will.

Every other country has to live by a set of standard and monetary input..well except for the Brits, who think the are above all.

Like I said pony up or show me the money…And please if you want Silverstone to stay…please fix the crumbling aging relic.

Same goes for all the teams, engineers, everybody. The atmosphere at every British GP is electric. You should try it sometime.

I was suggesting Keith could ask us which ones will be next season!!!

Maybe Keith, you could make a poll.

Its Here

1) B Ecclestone: (Medal system, Twilight races, Hitler declaration, British GP)

His conditions for tracks are untenable for the traditional (and not subsidized) ones, so lets go to the Far East… those countries paying transmission rights don’t want that schedule? No problems, change the hour for the show, and put some lights on! I would not be surprised if tomorrow Bernie came to us with a new GP in Sinaloa (Mexico) or Medellin (Colombia) with those guys walking around the paddock just because they can afford a GP.

And his declarations about Medal or Hitler is better not to comment…despite the big efforts everybody have to make in order to stop him. What a waist of time!

2) M Mosley: (Double diffusers, Budget Cap and FIA/FOTA row)

Double diffusers row is an indecent manoeuvre (IMHO) to demonstrate to the public opinion, budget cap was a good idea. Brawn represented a “modest” team with “low budget” succeeding, at least in his world of “everybody is an ignorant”.

Manufacturers are focus today in Maximum Performance per energy’s unit consumed. Social responsibility, environmental compromise, recyclability, efficiency compromise are common expressions in corporate values of current manufacturers, quite difficult to match that with words like:

Sex, opulence, wastefulness, opportunism, cheat, insider trading, revenge, conspiracy, short term focus, improvisation, dictatorship… those are the common words we use when talking about FIA or Bernie.

So the solution will be “independents”?

How can we call them “independents when they will be Bernie’s Salves?

Williams is the 3rd most successful team in F1 history, and now still exists thanks to Bernie’s tips.

3) McLaren: Hamilton’s disqualification

At least this one was a “racing scandal”… quite useful for fulfil personal revenges, btw.

4) Renault: Crash-Gate.

Another racing scandal, but for this case, this has been the biggest one in many years (IMHO). The novelty was, we have been able to see (and read) all the “forensic” analysis with most of the evidences and declarations. We’ve been able to “touch and feel” how low a group of men can go… and again quite useful for fulfil personal revenges.

In the last three years we’ve seen many huge scandals and we were thinking at the end of each one: “Next year will be better and we will be focus only in racing”…

This season, I will no longer expect “full racing focus” for next year. In this moment I’m asking myself what new “surprises” will shock us next season….

Maybe Keith, you could make a poll.

despite the fact that Todt, Brawn and Schuey have left…

Schuey hasn’t left Ferrari. Infact he has just had his contract renewed as a consultant or something. Schuey will never leave, cuz he has no where else to go. Benetton, his old team are defunct & his old boss Flavio is in hiding

Maybe he’ll be able to get some job at Ferrari’s sister organization, the FIA. Schuey’s got his father’s backing. Surely it will help him secure a job at FIA, simultaneously working for Ferrari. A dual citizen:P
