<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BEN @ Jul 4 2008, 01:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Yer just read it too - cant imagine seeing F1 at donny again after watching bikes there for so long!

This pissed me off, they will probbaly roll out a multi-million development plan for donny to accomodate fnone fans, when us bikers have had to put up with ..... faciliates for years...............and then motoGP will move to Silverstone imo!!

Nob jockeys

I'm mad too, i can see them altering the track for safetey reasons (that will almost certianly be negative), surrounding the track with tarmac run-off areas which ruin the scenary and then getting a race where passing will be near impossible. I think F1 could really spoil donington park.

This does add strength to the rumours that Motogp could go to Silverstone, and i think that sounds good. The track has plenty of herritage, is fast and could be a very good event (legit facilities and reasonable road network).
 
I am actually glad Donny will be on the calendar again! It's an AMAZING track, and I'm happy F1 returns to Donington. I don't think F1 will ruin it. For sure they'll have to make some changes, that's logical, but it will not ruin the track. We'll see I guess.

If that means Moto will switch to Silverstone that's fine too, because Silverstone, too, is a great track, and it will bring a lot of excitement.

I can't wait!!!

Maybe no-one, you never know!

But maybe he's having a good aim on Kimi again... He is starting in front of him after all!

Kovalainen for the win I belive, but if it's wet, anything can happen. We'll see if he can keep control and finally show his potential.

Maclaren will never allow kovelienen to finish infront of hamilton

Because he's not fast enough to be able to.

He was even fuelled a few laps lighter ffs!

I disagree, i personally believe kovi has the talent to be a better and faster driver than lewis hamilton given half a chance with an equal car. Kovi let lewis pass, who's to say he couldnt of got the win today ?

Well driving slower than your competition and then spinning your car doesn't normally lead to a win (look at the red cars for an example). Heikki is getting there with Mclaren, i was hoping for and expecting slightly better results this year but to say he's not on Lewis' level is not an insult.
 
Three drivers all on the same points, I'm gonna have to make sure I don't miss anymore races!

Imagine if the GP was this close.

The rest of the season will be even more interesting! It's hard to pick who the winner will be. Overall you'd think Ferrari is stronger (but they keep screwing up in some races, it's almost hilarious!!!). Eventhough Massa has 3 wins compared to Kimi's 2, I think the battle will be between Kimi and Lewis in the end. Lewis' win last weekend was more than deserved, and he did a great job closing the gap to Felipe. I can't wait for Hockenheim

Just a few thoughts of mine.

Firstly, remember last year we had a 3 way title fight. One pair of teammates and one individual driver, teammates will take points from each other while a sole contender has favourable stratergies at all the events and support if he needs it.

Secondly, this season so far has been dominated by inconsistency. Driver tend to be doing very well or having nightmares and if this continues i think it'll play into Massa's favour. He is fast when he's on and awful when hes off, but that isn't being penalised so much this year. However if either of the other drivers puts a consistent run in i'd expect Massa to lose out
 
I love these unexpected third places we had for last three races. first coultard, then truli, and now rubens... I'm happy for all of them, it's nice to see some old faces...

Kimi push


I cant say i blame him, apprently the photographer had stood on Kimi's bag and umbrella etc..

"Yesterday while preparing for the race, a british photographer grabbed kimi and stood on his kit( gloves, water bottle, ear plugs and connected for his umbilical) Kimi got a bit miffed and pushed the photographer over!!! " ( I knicked this from a member of a formula 1 message board, ( no names or links incase its against forum rules) the member who posted this actually works for ferarri )

Kimi push
Of course you're not surprised..

Anyway, Kimi shouldn't have pushed him. I can understand it's frustrating to have all these photoraphers in your face, but..still he shouldn't have done it.

agree...that was a nasty push. I could understand a bit of a shove, or a light push or BETTER yet, he could have just shouted at the photog, but that was NASTY. really nasty kimi, tsk tsk tsk...
