If Mclaren win on sunday, i'm assuming they can't collect the constructors trophy

:dunno:

They might as well just give it to Ferrari before if that is the case.

Is this a stupid question?

Whats so bad about being next to Spyker in the pit lane?

Not a stupid question at all Walkers.

I was just relaying what the commentators had said. I think they were trying to get across what it actually meant to finish last in the Constructor's Championship in relation to how much slower the Spyker's are compared to the McLaren's.

Are you the one who hates Hamilton because he's good?

In other words yellowbricks? If so, then yes.

And 'hates' is such a strong word. Try 'is jealous of'....

You try to be funny in every post and you fail every time.

You what? You what? You what? You what? You what?

I don't try to be funny. Just because im probably the only ferrari supporter on here, and im not exactly filled with national pride doesnt mean im a pr*ck. I bear the 20 or so posts of jubilation when Hamilton wins, surely im allowed too? Basically, one mclaren or the other will win the title so you can send the banter back later on.

Here we go again.

Lewis Hamilton on Sunday criticised his teammate Fernando Alonso after their on-track battle at the start of the Belgian grand prix.

The championship leader, whose advantage over Alonso was reduced to just two points after finishing fourth at Spa-Francorchamps, was quoted as saying after the race that he thought the Spaniard's driving at the first corner had not been fair.

"I don't know if we touched, but he had plenty of room to let us both go around the corner," Hamilton is quoted as saying by motorsport-total.com.

Replays show Hamilton, 22, going wide off the circuit at La Source before his wheel to wheel dice with Alonso continued on the approach to the flat-out Eau Rouge bends.

"Fernando always complains about others he says are unfair, but he pushed me off clearly intentionally. For a young driver like me, who looks up to a double world champion, he is not fulfilling his position as a role model," Hamilton said.

But McLaren boss Ron Dennis told the British broadcaster ITV after the race that he thought his drivers' tactics had been "absolutely fine".

"They weren't too aggressive, and they're racing drivers, that's what they do," he insisted.

After a season of controversies involving his team, Dennis was keen to play down the incident.

"Let's move to motor racing for the next three grands prix," he advised.

Alonso is fooking it up big time and looks like he would rather ruin Hamilton that win himself the prat! He clearly tried to shunt Hamilton off the track today and is a jealous little **** IMO. I hope he season ends and Ron Dennis gets rid of him.

I'd absolutely love to see Jenson Button in a McLaren.

Likewise, but I think he's signed up for Honda next year. If Alonso does leave, there's not many available options for Mclaren. Sutil would be a good choice.

Max Mosley says that the FIA will investigate any complaint it receives from McLaren about Renault when the governing body receives an expected report from the British team.

The FIA confirmed last week that McLaren had brought “certain matters regarding Renault F1†to its attention, although it would not divulge the nature of the query.

The governing body’s president says he is currently awaiting the submission of the information from McLaren, after Renault handed over its own dossier on the matter.

“We haven't had the complaint or the detail we have been promised from McLaren about that, but when we get it, we will investigate," Mosley told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"We've had a dossier from Renault which doesn't look particularly damning, but then again, you wouldn't expect it to.

“It's allegedly an employee who took some floppy disks with him, but we must wait and see what comes out from McLaren.â€

Mosley confirms that McLaren, with its rival’s consent, sent experts to look at Renault’s computer system and that he is expecting the information to be submitted soon.

"I said to him, 'When you have got your dossier together Ron, let's have it',†Mosley said.

“He, with Renault's agreement, sent experts into Renault to look at their computer system recently.

"So obviously when he has got that report, if there's something significant in it, I have no doubt he will let us have it."

McLaren was last week hit with a record fine and stripped of its 2007 constructors’ points in the reconvened hearing into the spying scandal which involved leaked Ferrari technical data.

Renault’s managing director Flavio Briatore insisted in Friday’s press conference in Belgium that the issue involving his team is not along the same lines.

“First, if somebody tells me it’s the same, I sue somebody, quickly,†he said.

“Second, it’s not an investigation regarding myself and the team.

“Third, we give all the information to the Federation, at least when we found out something, and this is it.

“It’s as simple as that.

“And I give the evidence as well to McLaren
