Shock horror at Alonso - Jeez man what the hell!
Toro Rosso team to watch????
BMW keeps drivers:

may ban refeuling:
http://www.sport24.co.za/Content/Motorsport/FormulaOne/327/43ae4b76ed684b59baebb325eae90b60//F1_may_ban_refuelling
It is soon going to be like 1h nascar race, driving in line and no change of getting past someone. All got the same engine, can't refuel, and stupid looking spoilers, maybe they even limit the speed to 150km/h that it won't be dangerous.... Feels like they are destroying the sport while cutting the expenses. :thumbsdown:
From the last race: Official footage (http://www.f1.com/news/headlines/2008/10/8530.html)
What do you think ?

Don't get me started lol :D
Some very ncie video footage there by the way.
My two penny worth:
1) Lewis was guilty of 'racing' in my opinion and nothing much more. Commentators around the country are slating him for trying too hard to overtake Raikennen etc when they are missing the point of what F1 is about! It's about WINNING. Winning races! Passing people is what they do! That is what there lives are about! Its like saying in football draw might be enough to win a league and then have a go at the team for trying to win. if the team tried to defend and get a draw we would be having a go at the team that sat back like that and defended.
2) Massa could have avoided Lewis, he was behind him proven by the tap he gave Lewis on his REAR left wheel. Massa has gotten away with far too much this year in my opinion. Lewis has been punished too harshly for 'racing' whereas Massa and Ferrari have not been punished enough for poor driving and bad work in pits etc.
Sorry, hope I haven't started a shouting match :D
Have to agree with Jabbs' 2 pennys, It's like they don't dare to punish Ferrari :S
As for the ban on refueling, how sad is that :|, that will indeed turn it more and more into a nascar race instaid of F1 :S
yeah, nice vids of the action.
I do think LH goofed the start and caused more folks to go off.
But so what, didn't seem that bad really.
His 2nd pass on FM, FM mucked up so his fault.
But again, they touched and I'd say too bad - get over it.
But FM going into the Torro Rosso, the silly twat (FM) wasn't looking where he was going. I'd say that was the only point where someone should be penalised.

Might as well just paint them all red then. It'll be just like a modern school sports day - "there are no losers, only a broad range of winners."

Sport without losers! That's the way to go! Yeah I like it! Everyone is happy then eh? The FIA are obviously in talks with governments around the world and pretty soon no sport will have loses, just lots of winners! Yay to everyone!
Shanghai - Lewis wins, congratulations :D
Brazil? Ferrari with new engines and both Massa and Kimi good for each other but Kovaleinen out of the picture for helping Hamilton (today anyway)..
...So it's all up to you Lewis - go do it! :yahoo:
Quote from: Jabbs;247843Shanghai - Lewis wins, congratulations :D
Are you sure? Ferrari haven't had time to check the replays yet.
Quote from: o000o;247846Are you sure? Ferrari haven't had time to check the replays yet.
Ferrari? don't you mean the FIA?
Ah yeah sorry my bad, Ferrari, you were right the first time! :D
You've gotta wait three hours to find out the final placings. :sideways:
I wish i didn't read this thread :sad:
Just watched the video. Not being an F1 fan I have no idea about names/teams, but there were some pretty seriuos mistakes there. I'm sort of surprised really -- some of those crashes should easily have been avoided!
For those looking for the FIA to provide some balance in the sport:
I just heard that Jean Todt will be taking up a very senior position in the FIA next season.
So, all F1 teams will be equal, but some will be more equal than others.
TL.

Sad and (hopefully not) true :crying:
Unfortunately it does appear to be true.

I felt sorry for Massas family, but not the slightest bit of sympathy for Ferrari.

Still can't convince the missus that Massa lost.
Why can't the coverage be like that? :norty:
Awesome video!
