EPTAside from that, was a good race overall. Im liking it alot better this season, full diversity of drivers and teams up front, with no clear cut lead for anyone/any team. Go Webber!

In both cases (Valencia, Silverstone) he lost control after hitting the kerbs. Do you really believe he wanted to screw his entire race (and others) on purpose? Clearly, you don't understand what happened in either case, as this is NOT the case. -Spa last year, after Lewis over takes him on the last chicane in quali Pastor feels like Lewis ruined his lap and after the session is over drives his car into Lewis's as a revenge move, later claiming he 'lost control of the car'. -Australia he drives into Roman when trying to block an over-taking move and breaks Romans tracking rods and knocks him out of the race, and there was no need to do it as he had already at that point reclaimed his place and pushed Roman off the track. No action was taken. -In Moncaco he drove into Perez in practice and did so much damage to Perez's car that it ruined his whole weekend and race. After he claimed he lost control of the car becasue his tires where cold. He recived a grid penalty. -In Valencia he drove from off the track, onto the curb where he knew full well that he would loose control of the car and drive into Lewis. This time, guess what... he lost control of the car becasue Lewis pushed him into the curb. he recived a 20second penalty. -Then in Silverstone after there was a drivers meeting before the race where Charlie Whiting said that if the car behind you has there front wing along side your rear wheel, you cannot push them off the track. So Perez when he made his move was nearly ahead of Pastor before the corner and gave him lots of room on the inside. Pastor went too deep, and looked to loose control becasue his tires where cold and then drove into Perez, taking him out of the race. This time his claims of loosing control of the car, seem legitimate. He recived a fine. The fact that he has so much previous history of actually delibertally driving into people and taking them out of races should be reason enough for the FIA to give him an actual penalty. If he cannot control his car to the extent that he drives into other drivers, he shouldn't have a Super Licence in the first place. F1 is a non contact sport and he has proven that he has little to no respect for any other driver and is willing to damage his own car and race to try and prove some kind of point. He needs a race ban to at least try and give him some perspective. | ||

Oh wow, I did not know that... though I fear its going to take a similar incident to get him at least a race ban in F1.... | ||

Btw I'm not saying I don't think he should be reprimanded more seriously, just that it's strange after the incident where it wasn't really his fault and Perez probably changed his mind a little after the replays. | ||

It's funny how Kimi always tries to overtake him gets bullied off and loses a position to someone behind. (Funny = annoying I love Kimi). Btw I'm not saying I don't think he should be reprimanded more seriously, just that it's strange after the incident where it wasn't really his fault and Perez probably changed his mind a little after the replays. Indeed if anything happens, it should have happened a lot sooner. I just believe after so many incidents in such a short period (this is like the what 3rd-4th report this season, not to mention earlier season(s)), that some type of stronger action needs to take place. Having this many reports of "loss of control" should not be taken as lightly as it has been. | ||

No friends function yet, so you have to get on voice comms and coordinate going into the race together, but it's hysterical fun when playing with chums and a beer. ^_^ | ||

The Nurburgring could be on the brink of administration according to reports in Germany, after the circuit was refused a bail out from the European Union. However, with no money available to pay race hosting fees at the Nurburgring, and Hockenheim already stating they cannot afford to host the race each year, the future of the German Grand Prix could be in doubt. Oh dear get protesting Germans! Or you could be out of a Grand Prix next year. Source | ||
