They're cheating, only a matter of time until they get caught, fined and excluded.
All I know is I want to sit atop one of those lined up yachts along the harbor. Not as crowded as Monaco is it?:)

I look at that track and the final sequence of corners and I'm dismayed. On a proper racetrack with run off (not walls) they'd be fantastic. On that abomination they're completely wasted
Eh, world's best drivers. They need a little variety to prove it. A bunch of billiard table smoothe sixty ft. wide sweepers with a mile of runoff and sand as far as the eye can see? No thanks. But I know what you are saying about this PARTICULAR circuit and I say... deal with it.
PS-just got a glimpse of Larry Perkins on www.TVracer.com in the wet at Adelaide in the V-8s. What year was that? Nice sequence! (now back to our current street circuit.:))

I know it's a new track, but last place for Badoer? They couldn't find anyone competent to fill in and that guy is your test driver? Yikes.

As far as I'm aware he hasn't driven since January in any form of openwheeler...
C'mon...he was in an F-1 race as recently as 1999, right?:)

1995. Support race for the F1. Luca Badoer was a DNS in the F1 race that year. :gomer:
And here we go again, Matchett commenting on the scrap at the front of the GP2 main...something like, "careful now, the team manager are watching." He are??

Still, 1.5 seconds slower than P19 in a Ferrari? He must give amazing feedback during testing or have some pictures of someone important.

Too bad for Hamilton. They're saying they tried to tell him to stay out another lap, but were late. The SPEED guys thought they weren't ready, but while watching it, I thought they were fine except for the front right tire. No one else looked like they were scrambling.
Maybe too bad for Lewis but a great day for Rubens. A good/popular result...16 1/2 yrs. after his F-1 debut! Amazing.:thumbup:

Congrats to Woobens, and respect for Lewie for not throwing the team under da bus in the post race interview.
He may be a choppin' cheatin' round-headed bastage, but he does understand the team concept of success.

After he threw away that race in China two years ago there isn't much else he can say.

Not a bad race for a street race. Nice of Vettel to get his car off the track so quickly after it went kablamo. Playing it well on days when it all goes wrong says a lot about a driver.
