    Nothing against Hamilton but he wouldn't haven't become world champion if Timo Glock hadn't caused that wreck in the last race of the 2008 season... :ihih:

    Just read a quick report from an official press conference. Asked who would win the championship, Kimi replied: "The one who has the most points."

    :lol:

    Never change Kimi, never change.

    Did anyone else notice that there were four F1 Driver World Champions on the winners podium?

    Listen for Kimi's reaction to the warning when he's almost back to the circuit.

    No, that is the methodical Chapman approach at work - five years before this and you would probably have seen the driver taking a drag on one of the pit crew's cigarette...... whilst refuelling.

    I'm sure the protesting group will not see the fallacy of spending their personal funds on beer instead of tuition to protest the government's tuition hikes.

    I think one of us posted a video like this before. F1 driver with a helmet cam mounted over one of his eyes so you can see exactly what he sees. Well, sort of, it can't mimic his eye movements, just the movement of his head, but you do get a realistic on-board, driver's eye view. This one is Spa and in the wet...with only one eye because the camera blocks the other! :eek6:

    Good race, great season.. still. I find it very interesting that Kimi is in third place in points, only one behind Hamiltorn, without having won a race. Imagine if he was in a slightly more competitive car.

    Alonso heads the drivers' championship standings. Asked about the most likely championship rival: "If I had to choose between Hamilton or Vettel, I choose Raikkonen."

    My experience is with SCCA and NASA, and like you, I find this use of lights pretty confusing. I am used to a yellow anything, waving, standing etc., meaning there is a caution on the course and you are not allowed to pass.
