That was one of Mr Rossi's very best. What a race!

Quote from petercollins :

Great news about Clarkson. May seems to be finished too. Hammond will do his best to cling on to Top Gear, but it won't happen.

Clarkson must be absolutely sickened that he sold the show back to the BBC in 2012. He dug his own grave, the racist blueberry.

Sky apparently won't touch them either, so the chances of them appearing on my tv are pretty much zero.

Perfect.

Dug his own grave and lined it with over £8m from selling the commercial rights alone. Your bitter schadenfreude may make you happy, but there is no real misfortune to gloat about.

Clarkson will be back - 1m people signed a petition basically saying "We don't care if he hits colleagues, we want him on the telly." He brings a huge fan base, so he will have his choice of channels.

I hope McLaren packed some extra grinder blades, because they're going to be chopping a lot of slits in the bodywork this weekend

Buggity buggity buggity

Absolutely adore Indycar. Can't wait!

Kaltenborn is claiming it would be unsafe to put VDG in the car. What about Mehri, Stevens - that car hasn't even turned a wheel. There are past examples of drivers jumping in cars at short notice - Brundle at Spa, Alesi at Paul Ricard (and he finished 4th on his debut if memory serves)

If the courts are continually ruling in VDG's favour then his case must be strong. Sauber seem to created a bit of a problem for themselves and I don't have any sympathy for them. They agreed the contract, VDG is enforcing it. I would imagine he is only realistically looking for a settlement, but asking for a ruling to put him the car brings everything into focus to reduce the amount of time it will take. Sutil is suing for damages - that will take months.

One for the conspiracy theorists I suppose. The GP is 19 days after the accident and his doctors have said to reduce the risk of further trauma for at least 21 days. Move on, nothing to see.

Shouldn't be a problem - I back K-Mag to drive three laps then park in a cloud of smoke and steam with as much panache as Fernando.

I'm waiting for Racer X to tell me what my opinion should be.

Never went on the cargame servers, but thanks to Dave for driving me to hospital that time

There's about a dozen places where you can put all four wheels over the white line. Most instances you're still on kerbs or grasscrete and it's kind of the accepted line. There's only one place I would consider enforcing track limits. Turn 6.

The idea that women are better at multitasking is as far as I've understood a myth. That being said when I was stydying to become an engineer we had women in our class as well and from my pov they are just as good engineers as the rest of us.

As for women racing drivers menstrual cycles could be problematic though

You'll need to explain that one. Unless you were joking.

So Rosberg fanboys, now that HE has admitted responsibility and apologised, can you accept he was in the wrong?

Do the Germans see him as properly German, or is he seen as a Finn brought up in Monaco with a German passport? Greg Rusedski to Tim Henman, if you will.

Quote from Bmxtwins :

They've got mirrors I mean really. I've held this belief ever since Kimi got clipped by Magnussen because Kimi was driving like a dumbass and Magnussen held his inside line. Europeans are such idiots. They complain that f1 is congoline racing then bitch when someone tries to go side by side into a corner.

On the Sky super whizzo 3d graphics thing, they showed the point of contact from both driver's eyelines. Rosberg wasn't in Hamilton's mirrors and of course Rosberg couldn't see his own front wing. The mirrors are fairly pointless so it is sensible to put the onus on the guy behind to make the right call if they are not alongside - they are the ones with the most information.

The actual collision is immaterial now. It's the schism within the team that carries on to the next races that matters. There will hopefully be that moment in Monza where they are side by side and we'll see what they both really think then.

I think the 29 point lead would play a bigger part in that than Rosberg's alleged newly acquired testicles. Hamilton cannot afford a collision - Rosberg knows this.

Can I get one with "Apathy does not equate to ignorance" stitched on it?

Quote from tristancliffe :

Rosberg wasn't on the outside. He was on the inside of the left hander. Both had successfully navigated, side-by-side, the right hander. Technically Hamilton turned in on Rosberg (though note: I am not apportioning blame).

Hamilton took the racing line, as was his right.

(Though note - I think he is a bell end as well)

Yes, and the tarmac was a slightly different colour; and it was at night - totally incomparable.

In both cases the driver ahead and on the inside took their rightful racing line and in both cases the driver behind touched the other.

Rosberg did turn into Hamilton.

Where can I buy cat hats?

I know, but I'm fascinated to see how Tristan reconciles these two apparently contradictory views.

So Singapore 2011 must have been totally different then.

Quote from tristancliffe :

You do realise that Massa was still not even slightly at fault for the collision, right? He defended perfectly, and Hamilton drove into him.

It sounds like, despite what Rosberg said in the media, that he was still fuming about Hungary.

I don't really care for either of them, so looking with a degree of neutrality. Both have mental weaknesses which means this is going to carry on for the rest of this season and then on until one of them leaves, or Mercedes come up with a pup of car - no one would care if they're fighting for 10th and 11th.

We really should be talking about Ricciardo though. It's time for team orders at Red Bull - give Dan the new front wing this time Christian!
