first, an enjoyable race today. Well done raikonen.
Now, is there anyone else here that notices the difference in the way the writers here on this website, present information in their articles? the level of objectiveness here seems way above some of the other major sites. Describing the object of an article as "petulant- my words-, or feeling sorry for himself- again my words, tends to, in my opinion, create an atmosphere for members to believe it may be ok to use poor language when expressing an opinion.

I had to get that off my chest.
Noone asked: this is my opinion: i welcome yours.

The article on f1 today by motorsport, was in my opinion, very professional.

They very often have very professional articles compared to most of the motorsport sites I read, so yes, you are right about them.

VB,

over the years i've had to create and document proceedures in at least three professions, and i realize it's sometimes tough to present a totally objective product all of the time.

I am stunned by you academic projects. However, I read your led post, and I couldn't put a handle on what you are saying. Maybe I am not reading the F1 article you are talking about - a "Link PLease!!" would greatly assist in my assimilation of the knowledge you propound.

Just go to motorsport.com and read a few of their articles. You'll see that they are doing quality motorsport journalism there compared to all these petty F1 sites.

Thank you man.

That is why I never and will never pay the subscription fees for those dodgy sites.
