    Not all of us. ;p

    As for Renault.... God only knows how they could seem to have ballsed it up this badly. Bloody hope they get their act together before the season gets in to full swing though.

    Yeah, some of his comments after the match were a bit OTT unfortunately.

    Does make me laugh when people get so upset by others on an internet forum and either get banned or leave because they are so pissed off because of a bit of banter or comments they don't like, especially when those concerned are fairly opinionated people themselves.

    If you can't take it, don't dish it out.

    Peugeot massively underestimated the demands of F1 when it first came in 1994, but did improve.

    Ironically, McLaren didn't do any better with Mercedes engines in the immediate years after they ditched Peugeot, indeed if McLaren had stuck with Peugeot then I think they would have had decent success as Jordan did pretty well with them when you bear in mind what budget they had compared to McLaren.

    It would be good for a new company to come back in on an engine only basis. What we don't want is a grid of manufacturer teams again who bugger off after a couple of years becuase they haven't done very well.

    Teams build the cars, manufacturers supply the engines. End of.

    Didn't realise di Resta and Hamilton's dad had fallen out.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/26138622

    Apparently to do with sponsorship. Seems di Resta got offended when Hamilton had arranged deals with Prozac and The Happy Blue Bunny Pill Company.

    Don't know why it's on the F1 page, none have anything to do with the sport anymore from what I know.

    Massa claims Alonso rarely used Ferrari simulator

    Williams recruit Felipe Massa claims that his former team-mate, Fernando Alonso, rarely used the Ferrari simulator to help develop new parts for the car. The Brazilian, who's now left the team for Williams, claims to have often been the only driver to use the facility which is vital in testing upgrades and developments. "In Williams I am being heard," said Massa, "but that doesn't mean Ferrari didn't hear me. They listened to me very well. "Last year I worked alot on the development of the car, and in the simulator I was practically the only driver, because Alonso wasn't there," he claimed. The 32-year-old has embraced the change of environment and says he's been made very welcome at the Grove outfit since joining at the beginning of the year. "To be honest, I feel that I needed this change, and maybe it's the same for Ferrari. "When time passes and the situation is the same, you end up losing motivation," he added. "I'm very happy, especially the way I was received by Williams. "Since the first day I arrived at the factory, everyone helped me a lot, embracing me 100 per cent and believing in my potential."



    I'm sure Kimi will pick up the slack <whistle>

    No I didn't mean you posting it here, I meant it being in F1 news in general. They don't participate in F1. And that both their faces wind me up, irrational I know.
