Kudos to hamilton for not crashing into Schumi. It depends on who you ask, if you inquire the English about it they'll tell you Schumacher acted like the bloody criminal he is and is lucky he didn't receive a 15 place punishment for his antics in today's race. For everyone else, he did an incredible job, indeed. | ||

Good to see the stewards have a sense of humour too, giving Liuzzi a 5 place penalty for the next race  | ||

Can't blame them for cheering for their own guys but just take it with a grain of salt :p | ||

Here is the rule : Manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such as more than one change of direction to defend a position, deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are not permitted I could quite a raft of drivers comments saying how what Sxhumacher did was out of order, but that would turn into a very long post. How about the Steward from Monza? http://twitter.com/#!/DerekDaly500/status/113682785507606528 But I guess its just me, yeah right. The guy has been cheating his whole career as I pointed out in another post. I can only imagine what this forum would be like if Lewis had done a fraction of what Schumacher has. This was penalised for blocking. On another note, Vettel made an offical complaint to the stewards about Alonso forcing him off even though he decided to take to the grass unlike Hamilton who was forced off. Did Lewis use his platinum card to complain? No. | ||

 It's not quite rainy season in Singapore yet, but, still, it looks like we might get a wet race on Sunday | ||

I would like to go to this race, looks good from the plans. Nice to see our colonial friends have a race again after the farce and average track of Indy. | ||

If Vettel -finishes anywhere on the podium in any of the last 6 races, OR -gains a combined 13 points out of the last 6 races he becomes world champion. WC is practically over. Edit: 13, not 11 | ||

WC is practically over. Edit: 13, not 11 Your answer seems only to be correct if there were 5 races to go. If Alonso won the last 6 races and Vettel gained just 13 points Vettel would end at 297 (284+13) and Alonso would end at 322 (172 + 6*25). However if Vettel wins Singapore and Alonso isn't on the podium the best case for Alonso would be to take 4th at Singapore and win the last 5 races in which case he would get 309 (172+12+25*5) and Vettel would get just his Singapore points and end at 309 (284+25), but Vettel would win on race wins (9 vs 6). It would however be possible for Button or Webber to win despite Vettel winning in Singapore if one of them got 2nd in Singapore + 5 last race wins and Vettel just got 1st in Singapore because then Button/Webber would end at 310 (167+18+25*5) while Vettel would end at 309 (284+25). | ||

This is what Ted wrote: Red Bull's mechanics have spent the season trying to hide the intricacies of the car's design from prying eyes, but one critical part of the car is secret no longer. Marshals recovering Mark Webber's crashed car at the Italian Grand Prix lifted it up into the air and left it hanging there while they waited for a recovery truck to take it back to the pits. The floor and new diffuser were filmed by a fan, and his video has become required viewing for aerodynamicists from the other teams. It shows several things: Red Bull's clever treatment of the floor around the rear wheels - a crucial area in controlling air from the exhausts and air coming off and around the rear tyres. There's the location and design of the hole for the starter motor, which all teams integrate into their diffuser as well as the design of the guide vanes in the diffuser itself. But it also shows a small aerofoil on the upper edge of the car's diffuser. A new part in Italy is an extension around the sides, which is instrumental in the RB7 achieving its impressive high speed downforce. I am told chief technical officer Adrian Newey is so cross about the video that he is refusing to watch it! | ||

Webber had a very silly accident with Glock which ended Glock's session early (possible penalty?). Curious story has been featured on BBC though, to do with the Monza spec diffuser of Webbers car. Apparently a fan took a video of the car as it was being lifted off the track which showed the diffuser in detail. Questions have been asked about the legality of it but people seem to agree it was legal. I dont understand copyright but it has been taken down, I thought as it was made by a fan it was fine, especially when there are plenty of FOM stuff on youtube.

You can read about it here - http://scarbsf1.wordpress.com/ Red bull looking strong again this weekened. Have to say, it does indeed look like Vettel will take the WC this weekend. Still cannot wait though, as Singapore is such a great track to watch F1. However from a drivers perspective, it must be a nightmare. All the corners look exactly the same, and there is loads of them! lol | ||
