Well I thought that was a disappointing performance by McLaren, both Hamilton and Button did not have cars to compete yet again and this is only Q1, what of the race?

sad,sad day for f1 racing,when farari can change rules just before the qualifying,the fans are the biggest losers,how much longer can the cheating go on???????? i'm very very angry

The FIA rules state there should be no changes to the rules during a season, they must wait till the end of the season and before the next one starts, so is what they are doing to favour THE RED ONE legal?

I must be missing something somewhere as I thought that Renault complained to the FIA about the original rule change and when the FIA changed the rule back to what it was then MaClaren started complaining. Nothing to do with Ferrari. But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant.

Hi all,

A lifelong McLaren fan me, win or lose and I would love to see Button win at Silverstone, however, even though I am getting a bit bored with Red Bull domination at the moment, I am so VERY,VERY pleased to see them lock out the front row yet again. That's two fingers up to the FIA if you ask me and I loved it when the pre-qualifying angry and depressed face on Christian Horner turned to a post-qualifying smile and a look of supreme satisfaction!!

The FIA think they can meddle with the rules just to favour one team over another, or to try and reign in a team that seems to be running away with the championships and always, they do this to try and keep the viewers/fans interested? Nothing to do with a sport where the best should win, ... all about Bernies' circus and keeping the money coming in at all costs!! Well, Bernie, FIA and all, guess what ... your interfering doesn't seem to be working because Red Bull are STILL at the front and boring as it seems, that is the way it should be.

If Red Bull have developed a very fast car within the specifications given by the FIA at the start of the season, then the other teams, including my favourite McLaren, need to get with it and catch up, NOT complain to the FIA that they want something banned to make it fairer (which it ain't!!). F1 is all about cutting edge and innovation and constantly banning innovation and excellence to favour the less inventive designers/teams will ONLY make the sport duller in my view.

P.S Well done Mark Webber, hope you (or Button) get the win!!

I had to go out as soon as the race finished yesterday so did I miss anything, such as a stewards enquiry over Hamilton's latest incident on the last lap?? Denied a podium finish, was he right to drive into the side of Massa which could have resulted in neither driver getting any points?

Surely if Schumacher got a stop and go penalty for loosing the rear of his car in variable track conditions, they should penalise Hamilton and carry the penalty over to the next race?

There needs to be a consistent approach by the stewards, even if the FIA tried to turn our Grand Prix into a rules fiasco.

Hi Kev. The rear diffuser rule change was agreed a couple of months ago so ALL the teams knew what was coming. Why didn't Red Bull, Maclaren et al complain then? In my opinion, the reason Ferrari were ready with new rear end parts was forward planning. They are going to have to go back to the old parts in Germany. So Red Bull and Maclaren will go back to being faster than the Ferraris. Let Ferrari enjoy their one moment of glory.

By the way, I'm a Ferrari fan. Have been since I watched the film Grand Prix in 1965 or 1966 (memory fade again ).
