Fair enough if it was the end of the season, but it's early days and there were only a few laps left in the race, plus the MESSAGE FROM THE TEAM to hold position. It's nothing to do with public image it's about the team just as much as it is about the drivers, especially with what had happened just a few laps earlier.
Your acting like team orders are ACTUALLY banned. Did you not hear the McLaren guys have to re-iterate their point that fuel was CRITICAL?? Jenson is spending too much time trying to prove something and not thinking about the bigger picture.
You might not have heard so much horse shit, i don't believe horse shit says much, but everytime you open you're mouth you must smell a lot of horse shit. The idiot crowd follows the press and supports whoever wins, just look at man utd fans. I'm hardly a shallow fan so calm your ego down. Fair enough Jenson and Lewis are battling for a drivers championship but there is also the constructors championship to think of.
@Red Bulls: If they were not teammates then it would all be fair racing, but they are team mates so they shouldn't of been in that sort of situation. I think Webber should have given more room than he did, Vettel had a good amount of space and then Webber closed it more then kept it straight. Vettel spots his braking point from the markers but what happens naturally is your hands follow the eyes and into Webber he went.
@McLarens: Hamilton was faster, that was clear from how he could stick with Webber even in dirty air he let off near the end to save fuel and Jenson wanted to take advantage, cus he's a prick.. I'd be pissed if i was Lewis too. Lewis has said himself, one thing he learnt from his first season with Alonso is how to play the team game and regrets what happened between them. He expected the team game from Jenson, a mature driver but didn't get it.

Engine cooling i suppose. Also, that front wing looks immense in red.
Or Bloomberg, yes that channel that does the stock exchange :S
interesting, i always though anti-stall stayed on like autoclutch.
that was quite an epic retirement.

how many times can you release the same car with a different engine and carbon fibre in different places?
i seriously got a boner after that second video.
You're like a bloody politician with your propoganda! Ye karts are nice, end of story jeesh. I used to think, whats wrong he is just expressing his opinion, when people moaned at you. But it gets to a point...
How was Hamilton Funny exactly? Were you listening to his radio? Must be a good driver to crack jokes on the first lap of an F1 race.
Anyways he made the right call to stay in 3rd and drove a good race.
Driver with the most balls was imo Alguersuari. He had a manic start and passed a load of cars and then did Hulkenberg round the outside into T1. Just a shame he ruined it with that HRT. He is becoming one of my favourite drivers though this season.
rofl, Farmville! that game is a sin
Watching the FP1 practice for spain, it seems like it actually is speed dependant on the passive system that the mercedes is using. which just doesnt make sense to me. I'm sure there is more to it than that.
Activating the system means less downforce yes.
Downforce is for high speed cornering. For example take a look at any westhill setup or Kyoto GP Long setup and you'll see most of them will run a very high downforce level because of the extremely high speeds that 70% of the track is made from. This is exactly why you don't want the system activating through ANY corners, slow or fast.
@PaulC2K
I guess the McLaren version is different considering the chassis changes etc that other teams would have to make.
Read what i said again.
It wouldn't be speed activated at all, but activated by changes in air flow from cornering/going straight. Otherwise in the high speed corners the f-duct system would be in effect, and after all downforce is for the high speed corners so that wouldn't be what you want.
Like i said, it isn't controlled. I think it's how they described it on speed, air flowing differently through the corners is adjusting the air flow. No idea how though. It can't just be a matter of different speeds because the effect would happen in high speed corners too, which is where you REALLY don't want it happening.

thats the point, the McLaren one isn't controlled by anything. Thats why when Mercedes had theirs on it was just a little disc thing on the rear wing.
If i was in that car there would be more wet stuff than just that dirty water in there.
