  • Oh dear, which ever way you dice it, qualifying was poor for Luca. 1.5" off the rookie in 19th place. OK, he hasn't driven this track and he hasn't driven this car but that has to be worse than Maranello was expecting. Luca told the BBC this whole w…
  • Hooray, Forza Luca! Schumacher's a pain in the neck ... sorry, he has a pain in the neck. Ten years after THAT European GP ... PS BBC radio's idiot commentator (whose done the job for all of five minutes) said something like 'Badoer's not very go…
  • He's always right.

  • He's fit as a fiddle apart from a motorcycling neck injury.
  • Has Luca ever raced a Ferrari? I don't think so. He deserves it but has been out of racing for ten years.
  • I don't blame the lollipop guy for releasing him but Alonso should have parked it. What the team allowed him to do was outrageous, this of all weeks.
  • If the eye is buggered he may never race again.
  • Hospital bulletin looks positive. Such a bizarre week with Surtees then this 'million to one' collision ... then Alonso fooling around with a wonky wheel. Renault's ban is totally justified. re Massa: has anyone EVER heard of a spring coming unbol…
  • Many congratulations salvo! The Berlusconi tapes are getting a fair bit of coverage here. Very amusing stuff, especially his boasting about 'running the world economy'. Most commentators say most Italians don't care much about the hookers and the p…

  • Alonso to TOIT. Heikki outta McLaren. Jacques? Got to be joking.
  • Do you think he still has the funds?
  • Remember how many 'small' federations are with Max - think Samaranch at the IOC. They are/were both amazing 'operators', to put it diplomatically.
  • Woo-hoo! C'mon Aussie. Can't believe how long ago it was that Roo and I watched your debut in Melbourne. A well-deserved (solitary) Australian success.

  • His parents must be so proud. Good on yer, son!
  • A stranger to this parish.
  • Great stunt. The Stig is a cast of several but mainly British drivers Perry McCarthy and now Ben Collins. For 'specials' (like Renault F1) the factories send their own Stigs.
  • I'd never seen Max quite so gleeful before; gallows humour, like a man who, deep down, knew he was on the way out. Its also quite Freudian that he later criticised 'sad' governing body presidents who cling on too long - he obviously meant Balestre …

  • ... he's gone. To absolutely no-one's surprise the war is over, there will be no breakaway but Max has gone. Well done FOTA. Montezemolo for the FIA, anyone? Surely it can't be Todt.

  • Sure, as long as he doesn't follow the money to dead end teams. Up until this year, Jenson's story would have been one of bad management making bad calls.

  • manlio is the king of disinterring old threads! Bloody confusing though - always have to check your dates, dear boy. Yes, agree with much of the above. Lewis seems very punchy right now, fuelled by increasing tetchiness within Macca. However, as DC…
  • Excuses, excuses.
  • Yeah, Jensey-baby, oh yes. Loved the run to the podium at the end and you could see what it meant to him and Dad. This race demonstrated the difference between the two Brawn drivers; Jenson was much kinder to his tyres.
  • Great stuff, Forza Campos! The Valencia GP will be something special.
  • Brawn, Jensey-baby, Lewis, McLaren, Williams, Force India, Minardi-istas ... basically, anyone but the red team. RBR's success is great news for the guys who were there when it was Stewart/Jag.
  • A moat is a water-filled defensive trench which encircles a castle. Some of our right-wing Members of Parliament are rather grand.
  • Doesn't everyone claim for their moat-cleaning bills?
  • Well done Telstar. Whatever you do, try to avoid having to work for a living.
  • Pegli and Lamy, welcome back! STR is still owned by Mr Red Bull ... until he can find a buyer for the rejuvenated constructor.
    in Forza Faenza! Comment by viges May 2009
  • Roo, in fairness the web access is probably a Formula One Management contract clause. Does Channel 10 have an F1 website? re; Merc - Norbert Haug's last comment was along the lines of it being unfair to jump on the bandwagon, give McLaren time, etc…
