    Just ones credibility. That means more to some that others. I know the old adage if you ain't cheatin you ain't trying hard enough. Seems like the penalty for a needed trans or engine change is harsher than for folks who knowingly cheat. :eek:ut:

    Actually can understand the logic of #1 and #2, but I also have always thought the best player should play week to week..... After Kimi getting paid very well to get the boot so that Ferrari could get Alonso, I am sure that in Kimi's gut he would like to prove them wrong to have done that and that he is the better driver.....but Alonso will do everything in his skill box to make sure that doesn't happen...

    This will either go well for Ferrari or blow up in their face only time will tell and it sure is going to be fun to watch two roosters in the same hen house!! :cool:

    Boy I think Spa should be double points if any race has them. That is one tough track.

    I'll claim #33 it's the number I had on my race car back in the dark ages. There were no assigned numbers back then, you put what you wanted on the entry form & hoped you got it. The reason I chose it was back then most folks cut their own numbers & no one used the #3 because it was harder to cut out. Never had to redo my numbers with duct tape in the paddock.

    That was just patriotism by a French team:

    Business people don't like to do business with folks that have a blatant disregard for contractual obligations. Not paying your number one driver and the guy who is helping you run up front, a single penny for the entire season is no minor contract infringement...

    I hate it, was really enjoying how well they were doing...but this is starting to look more like a mountain instead of a bump in the road.

    I really like the fact that the right foot is going to be a lot more important than in past years.

    Here are a couple post-race taxi pics I don't think I've seen here yet.

    Jean Alesi getting a lift from Michael Schumacher, Canada, 1995.

    I think this is Jackie Stewart getting a lift from Derek Bell, Spa, 1970.

    I would love to see Williams take it this year!

    They were my team, with Nige, back when I started watching.

    Well, if Azerbaijan gets one then Kazakhstan should get one. Borat GP, anyone? Come one, that would be just EPIC!

    The wet? "It's going to be a disaster." But maybe not for us watching?

    Was wondering yesterday whether there's a possibility that after Red Bull's appeal the FIA can/will reinstate Ricciardo's podium and give back his driver points and trophy but uphold the deduction of Red Bull's constructor points.

    Happy to see I'm in good company as today Steve Matchete suggested it's a somewhat likely scenario (assuming the FIA accept there was no performance advantage gained).

    Apparently it's been done before and though it seems familiar I can't remember a specific instance.

    Here's a clear sign I spent too much time looking at the new noses. Saw this graphic and realized I can recognize 6 of the 2014 cars based on nothing more than nose shape. :nonod:
