Formula 1 07

Again the Mclarens are in a league of their own, just wondering what fuel loads they are carrying though? and BMW are consistent again. Should be a good race hopefully as I like Monza.

I personally think Mclaren isn't light on fuel loads. They are just better than Ferrari so far. I hope I'm wrong, and that Ferrari is on heavier fuel loads, but even if that's the case, I don't think that will be enough. McLaren usually have good starts, and they can built a gap in the first stint. So, the start will be interesting (as usual). BMW are just doing an incredibly good job this season.

^ They were streets ahead of Ferrari, nice move by LH on Kimi, Button was pretty strong too so hope for Honda yet, told u Alonso was due a win! Bring on Spa

Definitely, i can't wait now!!!! We have been waiting a few races to see Fernando drive like that, and now's the time he needs to bring it on. I think Ferrari will need help from the courtroom if they are gonna win this world title.

Congrats to both the Mclaren drivers!!
Great drive from both of them. Fernando was definitely the ''man of the weekend''. He took pole, won the race and set fastest lap as well. The championship is getting more exciting every race. The fight between the two mcLaren drivers I mean, since Ferrari is too far behind.

Lewis drove a good race as well, it was never going to be a win for the young Brit, cause Fernando was in control all the time. Lewis made a great move to overtake Kimi after his 2nd pit stop. He's still the leader in the championship, but now the gap is ''only'' 3 points. EXCITING!!!!!!!

Ferrari disappointed all weekend, they were never gonna challenge for the win, that was already clear after the FPs. Unfortunately Massa had to retire
Raikkonen did a good job today. He couldn't have done better today. They knew they weren't gonna win with a 2 stopper, so they decided to take a gamble and go for an one-stopper, it didn't pay off, but I have to say, it was a good effort. Raikkonen might have stayed in 2nd position, but McLaren was too good, Lewis was too good, and the softer tyres made some difference as well, but I also think he didn't feel top fit after his crash. So, 3rd place was good enough today. Hopefully Ferrari will be closer in Spa.

Heikki did a great job today, finishing in 7th position, while his teammate finshed 12th!!! Heikki is in front of Fisi in the standings, which isn't a surprise to me, after a bad start to the season, he's doing a better job. IMO, Renault shouldn't sign Fisi for another season. I don't see the point in that.

Also would like to point out that Rosberg showed some nice racing. Finally we've seen some nice battles (his fight with Jense).

Can't wait for SPA!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally agree, Fisi has had his chance and Heikki is better.

Pole, FL and win, the way it should be! Keep on the pressure FA!!

Next week Spa (have fun there Tom!)

I think there was more overtaking (LH on Kimi, Rosberg on Button) in this F1 race than in the last MotoGP race!

ok, why those tears??? is he predicting something?!?!

SO McLaren out of 2007 Constructiors Championship.
100,000,000$ fine.

Oh well...means nout for me. I've never cared who wins the constructors. At least the drivers points doesn't change.

Well.. at least it doesn't affect the drivers championship.. that wouldve been really fcked up

I wish they would be clear about what Mclaren did wrong. I guess they didn't use the info on their cars, if that's the case then I think the drivers points should have been taken away as well. I'm assuming that's not the case, so they (the team) got punished and not the drivers. To be honest, I don't really care who wins the WCC, I'm more interested in the WDC. It's sure that Ferrari will take the WCC now, but it's not sure who will win the WDC. At least we still have that excitement left. My feeling says Fernando, but I wouldn't rule out Lewis. I don't really prefer one over the other, since I like them both.

Spa should be really interesting. I expect Ferrari to be closer here. Hopefully they can challenge for the win. I'm hoping Raikkonen will make it three in a row, but above all, I'm hoping for a great, exciting weekend.

Toss Mclaren out - in fact toss the whole lot of them out!!

From what ive read,the info that was most important to them was on setting up the car for the Bridgestone tire.Since they were coming from Michelin and Ferrari had years experience on Bridgestone,the info was invaluable to them.

We didn't have that dilemma as F1 was shown live, and motogp was a delayed telecast...


CONGRATS TO THE MASTER OF SPA: KIMI RAIKKONEN!

Yeah he likes to sit in hot water and drink beer.

Unfortunately we decided to watch f1 live as we get it through the internet (there is a long complicated explanation for that and it doesn't involve getting it free) - if we'd watched the replay we would have had big chunks of the race cut out.

I bet those who watched the F1 with hindsight are wishing they'd watched the 250's. Other than Alonso's..... questionable, move on Hamilton, the race was boring boring boring, dull dull dull. Boring. Dull. The top four at least finished exactly where they started, with no overtaking. They should make the F1 cars smaller and ban pitstops so we'd see some real overtaking action. Me personally, I watched the 250's and enjoyed every moment.
