    Yep, i do bad things, and bad things happen to me. I do good things, good things happen. I've become a strong believer in karma.

    well the tyres are the same for everybody, and that is probably the problem, equality just doesn't suit his racing style...

    No, I think it was awful: even more unfortunate than your language. I would never wish anyone ill.

    do us all a favour cosicave , for some unfathomable biggoted pig ignorant reason you have never had a good word to say about schumacher and have jumped at the chance to ridicule him at every opportunity probally because he has won so much , far more than any english driver will ever win which gets under your skin more than you will ever admit ,

    having a cheap laugh at schumachers silverstone injury even for you is pretty low cosicave,

    in respect to the teams being closer together, did anyone notice that the HRT's fastest lap was less than 3 seconds slower than the fastest lap?

    I'd not noticed this Miggins.
    Although I doubt it'll make much difference for Karthikeyan, it's quite an achievement in such a competitive field.

    Cheers.

    Well, Ernie;
    …My strong impression is that most of the drivers are relishing the challenge of F1 in its current guise, and enjoying the excitement they are providing.

    It takes considerably more skill to battle on track whilst dealing with the evolution of a car as it loses weight, than to drive it as fast as is physically possible at all times without such regard to its evolution. Besides, the maximum difference is
    only in the region of a couple of per cent quicker in any case. Back in our day (you know what I mean!), the calculation of, and adjustment to this evolution was an essential aspect of Grand Prix driving even when refuelling was optional – rather than mandatory, which I believe spoiled the spectacle and full mantle of 'Grand Prix'.

    When things are not going well, it is natural (and necessary) to look for some explanation which can be rationalised; and when looking inward does not provide a satisfactory reason, or
    one which is personally acceptable, some will look to external factors. In a sense, this is a form of 'denial'. I suppose most of us, at some point, are prone to thinking "I preferred it how it was when I was winning" or "it was better back in my day"; rather than "I'm finding it hard to adjust" or "I must change with the times" (or worse still, "I cannot or will not change with the times"). But such serious cracks are only highlighted if or when one decides to tell the world. In my opinion, regardless of the characteristics of the tyres and the reason Pirelli produced them, Schumacher's latest criticism shows the opposition that he is probably a beaten man – psychologically. It is exactly what Rosberg (amongst others) might hope to see.

    This is why he should gather his belongings and take a stroll into the sunset.
    For himself*, the time is right to take a final bow rather than hint at personal regret in looking for past glories.
    - - -o0o- - -

    *Personally, I hope he does not! (see title).
    The difference between courageousness and foolishness can be very blurred; but I'm pretty sure that in the days of rumour, Ernie; we agreed the latter!

    Well, of course you are absolutely correct in what you say, however there is still a part of me that prefers the 'old F1' regardless of the entertainment factor of modern F1, you see I never ever got bored watching F1 and enjoyed it for what it was, comes from being a bit of a technocrat I guess.

    One must admire MS for his tenacity if nothing else, just how much more 'writing on the wall' does he need.

    The writing can carry on, 15 races to go and the man has a shot if his car is setup properly, nothing less than any other driver on the grid.
    Raikkonen agreed the tyres were good in qualifying, nothing said about the race.

    This is quite true.

    With a different winner for every race so far, the grid is close at the front as I can ever remember – perhaps closer than ever before at this stage in a season? (I'm not really one to ask about statistics). However, this presents an opportunity for every driver to show what he can do. Maldonado's very creditable performances, whilst in what many consider to be a 'midfield car' is surely testament to this.

    Good luck to all and may the best man win!

    Seriously. <doh> Yeah thanks for telling us what we do and do not want Mark, the top seven drivers are separated by 20 points and he's saying the unpredictability is spoiling the championship battle. <doh>

    Lets be honest, if Mark was leading Seb by 30 points he wouldn't be saying a thing about tyres, but doing the same reverse opinion as Rosberg does with Schumacher. <whistle>

    By the way I'm making a prediction for this year, if Mark does beat Seb somehow at the end of this season, he will retire so he can stick one to Seb and make him suffer for it because that's how I believe he's like.
