Broken Rules.....

The ruling is "if a driver gains an advantage by going off the track then rejoining the track, they must immediately or at a place where it is safe to do so, hand the advantage back to the driver he gained advantage off". so when lewis went round the outside to try and overtake raikkonen, at the time he left the track he was half a car behind at most, having rejoined, he gave kimi the advantage back by a full car plus a metre or two. 
what the ruling does not say is how much advantage a driver should give, or indeed when they can resume racing at full throttle after giving the advantage back, therefore my friends, hamilton should never have been under investigation as he followed the ruling. the subsequent ban had nothing to do with rules being broken, as there is none written. so maclaren have every right to appeal, and, using this argument, should be reinstated as race winners. These are not my words, but Quoted from the Rulebook, there is also some interesting footage on you tube where Schumi, and de la Rosa are fighting for position, and guess what? Schumi cuts the corner, and DOES'NT give it back, with no penalty. Stallion, take note, this is not a position to defend, the Stewards have applied a penalty that has no justification according to their rules, hamilton did all the rule book required of him, and if one of the greatest drivers could get away with it, and it is on video, then how the hell could other drivers not expect the same?

PS; And did'nt Heidfeld do well......poor BMW, what a dilemma,lol..........PPS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnPeyzc...

Spash around at Spa???

One hopes that this weekend at Spa will be a wet race. (Especially as the forecast in England appears to be pretty bad). I have just been getting my daily F1 fix on itv.com and felt the need to express ones self! after reading the headline

'Nick Heidfeld is under pressure to prove he deserves to keep his BMW seat next year'

I know we have already had some discussion on here about the BMW team, especially after Canada. Can people not remember what Nick did with a pretty crap BMW over the last few years. He is only 14 points behind Kubica (Steve would say it should only be 10 points behind as they gave Kubica the win at Canada instead of Nick). Anyway - Im just trying to say that I think Nick is a pretty good driver. I wouldn't want to see that Spanish idot in the BMW that is for sure. (However a BMW Vettel would be pretty sweet).

Pinkegos

This is a well known 'camp' site, as you can see from the pink accessories, my jockstrap was sewn shut for the event....lol....

Cheers 4 the B Day Prez Steve!

IT was ace!

Ferrari... again

"If the FIA want to be fair, they should give Massa a time penalty that puts him back in 4th place which is where he would have ended up of he'd had the stop-go penalty he almost certainly would have had if Ferari hadn't gone into the stewards room with an envelope stuffed full of Euros." ( Yahoo Blog Post )

But we all know that the FIA wouldnt even dream of damaging Ferrari's championship

Im sorry, but i have just finnished watching a bloody amazing ALMS race from Road America. It was bang from the go! It had everything great racing should have: Over optomistic moves, race ending moves, heart breaks, incredible speeds, amazing class duels and the revenge of Porsche against Ferrari in GT2.

Its a shame single seater racing cant be as exciting all the time

Mwahahahaha

I return to comment! Fresh from thrashing my squadron and being back online for the first time in 6 weeks, i am somewhat dissapointed. Out of all the team, there have only been one person posting with very little comments. Cheers Speedychick for commenting on your state-side trek.

I'm off to Indy Car land!!

Just a quick note to say I hope that everyone is well. Im off to USA 2moz, so just wanted to say goodbye and say good luck for the Buckmore 6hr event later on next month. Enjoy and get that win - go guys. Hoping I'll get the Gp's on American satellite. Fingers Crossed. Best wishes. AB x

Sated after the fix....

...of this weekends motorsport, World superbikes, British superbikes, MotoGp, and a sprinkling of the F1...Lots of controversy, in all the races, heroes, zeroes, tension, breathtaking incidents(Lorenzo's 'off' anyone) spats between riders/drivers (stoner v rossi, danica and milka, harris, and byrne...) Weather hiccups, sea frets at laguna, damp tracks in europe...proper, cojone shrivelling, RACING!! Yea Baby!

Motorsport...

....and the world economy are inextricably linked, as the economy runs down so does the sponsorship...At one time, that was'nt a problem as the tobacco guys allways had a big market, money, no problem, however, as they are no longer involved, the banking, and insurance, and telecoms have stepped in. At the moment most of the F1 rights are financed by RBS, and looking around motorsport generally, a lot of cars/overalls are carrying RBS logos, Santander, ING who are also very prominent, will probably have to curtail a good deal of their sponsorship to the lower orders, it would make sense to carry on with the blue chip sponsoship,ie. F1, but, RBS are struggling, who knows how many financial institutions are tied in with the American Fanny mae, and Freddy mac situation? who lost 50% of their value(over a £1000,000,000,000,000,s if that is how to write trillion) in ONE day!!!  Motorsport has had a Huge time of it lately, there is a new formula mooted every week, but they all require sponsorship, in one way or another, if the banks, and building societies, are less than willing to lend, this trend will grind to a halt, the amount of spare cash available for god's pastime will go on rising household bills, and other such fripperies such as food, school dinners etc...BUT I HAVE GOOD NEWS....BUCKMORE AUG 25...six hours of GLORIOUS KARTING, in a THUNDERKART......YEA BABY!

Rain, Compulsory!

Fantastic, race at Silverstone, hamster certainly showed the way, Rain definitely makes a race, and Ferrari, actually, were very helpfull. Heidfeld was cooking, with Kubica down the drain...

Donington have a 10 year contract! looking at the plans, we are gonna see a lot of carnage, and rain will make it even more....bring it on...the 2009 rules should help at this track....Never underestimate the moneymen in F1, there is a hidden agenda here, and the mystery backer for Donington may surprise us..Silverstone did'nt seem that far away from their demands...watch this space....

What a GP!!

I think we might have just seen the best GP of the season. Silverstone delivering a great action packed raced and well marked 60 years. I find it a great shame that at a major occassion they can announce that Silverstone will be losing the race in 2010. I find the decision an odd one. Firstly I am glad that we will still have a GB GP! Secondly Donington is my Number 1 circuit. It was the first one I ever went to and the first one being on track. A great circuit layout that never fails to give entertaining races in whatever you are watching............. But they have so much work to do to get it up to modern F1 standard. Count me in for a ticket in 2010.

Almost a year.....

...Has passed since I first started the blog, you can never be sure where things will lead so, looking back through the posts, makes interesting reading.... thanks to you all for sharing your thoughts, comments, and best of all, Rants!! Yea Baby!
