The 2012 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe Official Chat & Predictions

Both teams are owned by Dietricht Matte-whatever, it's not just similar sponsors and liveries, they are owned by the same man.

 

matter-****, well that's how it's pronounced

 

My maths says yes, no other podium combination i can think of adds up to 10.

 

I didn't want to make a prat of myself spelling it incorrectly.

 

True but thats motor racing, I think almost every driver got unlucky today at some stage with Seb being the most and Alonso the least. 12 races to go and its still anyones.

 

I think it's Materschitz, but plenty of opportunity to make rude words out of it

 

As long as Bernie's around, Matter ****z will have his way.

 

Except that he's not a ginger.

 

I've just googled, it's "dietrich mateschitz"

 

true his 'mates - are - schitz'.

 

He still shouldn't have two teams!

 

Ouch, Felipe got lapped by his teammate.

Schumi under investigation for DRS under yellows. Hope he doesn't get penalised, even if it does help Mark.

 

Sorry Felipe

Would be a shame if he did get a penalty for that. I guess so long as his sector time was slower than normal to show he 'acknowledged the flags he should be okay.

 

Yeah, I think we've had enough controversy for one day

Anyway, Mark's in second place now!

 

If Seb gets a drivethrough for DRS in a yellow flag zone then so should Schumacher. I'm glad he got on the podium but it still doesn't matter as Seb got punished for it in Spain for doing the same thing.

 

Ross Brawn reckoned he should be ok, as he shut the DRS 50 metres before the yellow flags apparently. I don't mind either way, i like the idea of Schumacher finally getting a podium, but i'd love to see Manny's reaction if he got DSQ'd.

 

Where is Manny in his hour of glory?

 

Might of died of a heartattack?
