    May be an F1 career ender too...which is sad because Grosjean has talent but with Kimi as a team mate he has been trying too hard to shine... He had a fast car, let the race come to him and it very easily could have been him instead of Kimi on the podium, instead...well....here he is ..not.:screwy:

    Some say (including some who post here on M/A) that if an F1 team claims something isn't true that means it must be true...

    Eddie Jordan claims Hamilton is moving to Mercedes. McLaren spokesman says "We have been told by Lewis Hamilton's management team that the story is untrue."

    That was a darn good race. Lots and lots of passing going on back in the field.

    Outcome was a bit surprising.

    Not a street course fan myself. And if hear Steve Machett say "inch perfect" one more time I might just scream.

    And thus a 10 spot penalty for Japan.

    That pass by Massa was just dumb luck the way I saw it. Kimi's pass on Michael at Spa was the pass of the year so far for me.

    Lewis Hamilton to join Mercedes in $100m move from McLaren

    Lewis Hamilton will on Friday bring to an end one of the most controversial and long-running transfer sagas in Formula One history by announcing that he is leaving McLaren, the team he has been with over half his life, for rivals Mercedes in a three-year deal which could be worth as much as $100million (£61.6million).

    He obviously has car control skills, he's just a little too ambitious at the first corner, look how many potential points he's squandered for both his team and the guys he hits....

    I'm not sure what the answer is but he needs to stop it, now.

    Maybe he's taken Kimi's "I don't care about the other drivers." line a little too closely to heart.

    Do Japanese F1 fans like Kamui Kobayashi? Apparently around 10,000 showed up at Suzuka on Mon just because he was doing interviews about his podium, etc, for Japanese TV segments.

    Yes many drivers refused to drive Colin's cars for that very reason.

    I would think a driver or 3 made it easy for Vettel to pass. On the other had Senna was not one of those. What makes Vettel's drive even more spectacular for me was the fact he did much of it with a damaged wing. Maybe Red Bull will build a damaged wing for the next race. :wink:
