    I don't really think Silverstone should get a fine but they should look at the security.

    Anyway a very exciting race overall. Well done RB!!

    I missed the Gp today. Just turned it on literally to see Montoya driving across the line. I really like the BMW team and hope they and Ferrari are first and second in any order.

    Montoya's car was all alone for the whole of the race , quite scary how it was out pacing the Ferrari (seeing as I'm Tifosse)
    Ralf Scumacher was to blame , even though no-one would put it down to him on TV
    He has subsequently been docked 10 points & 10 places of the next qualifying...

    Baabaa has been sunning himself and also went for a shear.....lambing season came round and was forced into the pen....LOL

    Yeah, Montoya blew the field away.....such pace...was it engine OR tyre grip OR both?????

    Unfortunately the Ferrari was well off the pace, no match for Montoya......:-(

    MS had the bad luck this time with the blowout....see he is just human after all....(still got some points)

    Thought that the Renaults were very impressive even though they have under powered engines....but what about there launch control...has to be the best around at the mo...sweet....

    D.C had an excellent race..funny he is a scot, and therefore must enjoy sneaking up from behind....LOL....well done D.C....

    Well the title race is very interesting now, anyone gonna put down their predictions or are we gonna see a showdown for the last race....?

    Had an appeal hearing recently, fobbed me off big time, showing no interest in the facts.

    Procedures THEY have written have not been adhered to, and for that Baabaa is gonna turn nasty - my solicitor is very happy to take it to a tribunal and actually laughs if it will even get that far.

    His words ' That company needs to take their thumbs out of their ass and learn how to treat personnel, and also a lesson in good business practices and a good read up of employment laws.....'

    Nice one, anyway, they cannot keep the bouncin' sheep down, cos this dude just got offered another job today - start on Monday......and am gonna rip their customers from under their noses - and may also poach some of there staff......LOL

    Cheers for the interest anyway.

    No chance for Montoya, cos I am gonna follow him round with my Voodoo doll......LOL

    Nah, hope there is a real showdown between MS/JM/KR at the last race - we'll see who's the daddy....LOL

    Need to keep our eyes on the Renaults though, I know they are down the table but Trulli could start turning some heads......

    Can't see MS retiring IF someone else wins it.

    He is the type who WOULD only retire after becoming champion again, so in theory he MAY retire at the end of this season......LOL

    I am lovin' the closeness of this years championship, and full credit to Williams/Michelin/Bmw and Renault for the headway on performance improvement.......Ferrari seem to be lying dormant at the mo' OR is this planned??????

    Still egarly waiting for a 3 way crunch race at Suzaka.......like a 3 way gunfight - reservoir dogs.....LOL

    bah..Theory...

    reality is very diff from thoery..dude

    a 3 way crunch is wat wel see..me thinks

    yo hoo..th e bitching has already started..offtrack

    Micheal said"
    I feel optimistic

    "We have had a tough time recently, but I think the good times will come back and at this stage I think I am favourite to win the championship.

    "Even though I've not won a race for a while, I'm not concerned when I look at my points situation and what has gone wrong.

    "It's true Williams have the momentum right now. I had mine earlier in the season, and now he (Montoya) is. But who knows how things will go for the rest of the season.



    yah,,dream on buddy



    KIMi said in British tabloid newspaper, The People:
    "It's not my style to think that the world champion is always the best racing driver.

    "That is why I don't think Michael is the best and in a class of his own just because he's won the championship five times.

    Michael is just another driver, nothing else. It's very difficult to beat him, but it's possible. He is quick but there are some drivers who are also very quick.

    We have all got closer to him."

    he he..just waiting for montoya's powerpunch reply

    this is good, sounds like us lot here sometimes....LOL

    Personally - ALL 3 have an equal chance - of winning/engine mechanical failures/lack of speed etc etc....

    However, Williams have had the momentum, but there has been a break and things may have changed and I will go out on a limb HERE AND NOW and say " The Highest finisher between MS, JM, KR this weekend - will win the championship"

    Thats right you heard it first here (whilst crawling up my own arse) my prediction.....

    I will of course remain true to the Ferrari's whatever the outcome, as I believe MS can pull this one off, but if he fails - there will be no excuses from me just many tears and tantrums...LOL

    C'mon Budapest show us your cards......

    Sure MS - was very disappointing.......just really cruised round as though he knew the car was not upto much.......

    Alonso - superb from start to finish - absolutely flawless - and what a car/strategy talk about perfection......proves this circuit is not about engine power...

    Ralph showed balls and great ability to come back through everyone after his spin.....

    What about RB's excursion - gotta admit that was scary from what I saw - major suspension failure......

    Again D.C came good aswell, we see this all the time, the qualifying not so good but the way he races and the strategy always brings him into the race....

    JM had a conservative race and a well earned 3rd.

    KR (as you stated) finally pumped them up and had a well deserved 2nd.....

    They are all on top of each other in the championship and williams have blasted in front in the constructors....

    Nice and tight, gearing up for an excellent showdown....

    Roll on Monza...

    nuttin much that its majorly wrong with them.
    except that they are not catchin up om the devlopoments others are doin..

    like when the new ferrari debuted ,,no one cud toouch it..it still as fast ,,except that others hav got better..muc h better.
    especially renault ,williams,) and mc laren in that order..

    of course michelin is gainin ground in leaps and bounds on it s own devlopments which is one of the majors in the above 3 's fortunes.

    he he..also every 1 is sceretly planning that they'll let ne 1 else but MS become champion once again..:p
