    Re: Big fat korean donkeys

    A few things to consider.

    The stupidest person of the day was the person responsible for allowing a course car onto the circuit before the safety car and full course yellows, we laugh at it but it could easily have cost someone or ones their lives.

    Massa for that inane effort into turn one, easily could have taken out half the field.

    Mercedes for not telling Rosberg to slow down (although the fireworks were spectacular, imagine how that would have looked in a night race)

    diResta for binning his car for the fourth time in four races (brings back memories of Andrea deCesaris)

    Webber for BBQing his cow for the second race running (granted neither were Webber's fault, but the Aussies just love a BBQ)

    Amen, Brother!

    Felipe to be told that there is a big difference between driving for himself with the view to impressing potential employers.....and driving like a phallus.

    My guess is future employers will have noticed the difference.

    Pirelli - as always! Perhaps they should stop calling it "Formula One Racing" and start calling it "Formula One Save The Tires and Hope You Make It To The End." Bring back the sprints between pitstops - some of those races may have been boring, too, but at least you knew the drivers were going flat out!

    I agree with the sentiment but I am loath to blame Pirelli, they have done exactly what the FIA requested, so the blame must go to the ahem.. brains trust at the FIA.

    You're right. I was not blaming Pirelli. For me they are just doing what the FIA asked them to. Its just the fact F1 is becoming to much about saving things rather than pushing things.

    Yes, very well put.

    Thanks.

    F1 is reall about pushing the performance envelope and while the teams and manufacturers are becoming very good at building things that last longer than ever before I cant really say that it is what F1 should be about.

    If that is what modern F1s about then maybe I need to change my thinking as it will make F1 not what it was.

    Yes but he had forgotten to run the soft tyre, so never had a chance to actually win the race.
