Well Team what do we think of the new Grand Prix?

boreing.

I have to agree with what has been said, even the BBC team said at the end of the programme that the race had not been a classic, which for them kind of echoes what Karl said.

The question is why? The circuit from a viewers perspective was not that inspiring, it just looked artificial. If you want proper gradients and character, it is a pity that there are no plans to return F1 to Brands Hatch. Now that is a real circuit without artificial lumps and bumps.

Even the drivers were predictable. Red Bull out front with Maclaren's number one driver doing the best he could to keep up in a car clearly not matching Red Bull on performance. The only surprise in the race was the decision not to penalise the Maclaren number two driver when he had his almost regular coming together with Massa.

Mike T

mike.t. I LIKE IT.i LIKE IT. me thinks maclarens no.2. has worn out his chair in the stewards office,and they feel sorry for him,now that his girlfriends gone.

I take it that you dont like hamilton then M.T.(who by the way is maclarens number 1 driver)
What I think is lets make a brand new circuit and have some big lumps of concrete on the corners (just for fun)to smash the million pound plus cars suspension, what a joke, and to end if you think the coming together betweem ham and massa was ham`s fault then dont give up your day job, Somehow the people with years of experience in motor racing decisions decided that it was massa`s fault (how did that happen Mike, are they all wrong but you)(were you watching the same tele as me) no disrespect to you Mike but on more that one occasion you have shown your bias towards Hami, but you show me a motor racer that doesn`t take risks and make mistakes and I`ll show you someone who`s not a motor racer.

lighten up chaps,I know that was the only thing of interest to talk about,but mikes comments were only tongue in cheek,and I'm sure ham would like to see this season out like yesterday.but he must take a lesson from button,and not ignore yellow flags,and think of the team and not self glory all the time,(if that doen't wind you up willz,nothing will,)

It was confirmed in August that Webber will be with them next year.....the question is will there be any UK viewers of next season seeing as BBC sold us down the river to Sky

Hi all,

I think Massa has a deep rooted problem with Hamilton that goes back to Brazil 2008 when Felipe thought he had won the championship only to have it snatched away by Lewis on the last corner of the last lap in the last race (phew!). I think this has really niggled Felipe ever since and he can't forgive Lewis for taking the championship away from him but he needs to get over it and move on. Felipe seems to be doing everything he can to try and ruin Lewis's races at every opportunity he gets !! NOT saying it is always Felipe's fault, sometimes it is Lewis's, but I do think he goes looking for a chance everytime he is near Lewis on the grid or during the race ??

I also think that these on track squabbles may mean that Felipe's time at Ferrarri is not long anymore and that if he isn't dropped a year early at the end of this season, then he won't be there at the end of next season for definite?? Ferrari want to win the championships again and they know they can't do that if one of their drivers keeps playing bumper cars with other drivers - just look at the difference between Alonso and Massa in the drivers points !! Just my thoughts and NOT taking any sides by the way!!!

Love the Indian GP circuit by the way and great fun to drive on the Xbox, though sadly I agree, the race itself was NOT one of the classics !!!


Kev.

Totally agree with you Kev, Philipe needs to move on or probably find himself driving for Virgin next year lol
