Taking the Silverstone GP off the calendar would be like ripping the heart out of F1. Britain is one of the biggest countries involved in the sport. Getting rid of it because some sheik will offer more money to make some faceless track is just the typical short sighted thing that Ecclestone would do though, it seems.

Great race Kimi, Alonso was on a great strategy, Lewis will be dissapointed but still drove a great race. Well done all 3. The pressure Lewis was under was HUGE so did excellently.

Wrong tyre strategy apparently. Took it easy to save the engine for the next race. Pity would have been nice for him to win but I am sure he will get many more chances to win the Nritish GP.

To be fair, for the first/Second time this season the pressure was on Lewis & not Fernando....again my theory proved correct.

Was a bit of a crap race & I can see some tabloids being very farcicle about it tommorrow. :nono:

The difference between the teams are becoming very great, espcially at tracks like Silverstone.

It wont be long before its just the 2 Mclaren, 2 Ferrari, 2 BMW, 2 Renault, 2 Honda, 2 Red bull etc etc.... Tbh I preferd it when the reliability was crap :whistle:

What happened to the rain as well :protest: Stop telling me its going to rain & then be sunny :cry::protest:

Not his greatest race but at least its another podium finish. He does seem to back off though when he isnt in front which is a worry as the last two races have seen him just coast home when things didnt go his way. Lets hope that this is more down to the car than his mental state lol. BTW this championhip looks set to rival La Liga in closeness!! It should be fun.

The profile of F1 has been Raised hugely this year as well.

I don't think I've ever seen so many adverts related to F1 as this season :thumbup:

Stowe corner.

Take note Mr Tilke. That is an overtaking corner.

Not the stupid long straight then hairpin idea.

:laugh:

I do quite enjoy Tilke's tracks though....:whistle:

Too wide..too flat..all the same ;)

2 or 3 of them would be good, because I agree they do produce some good racing, but it takes away the variety, challenges and enjoyment from the sport. Silverstone, Spa, Imola, Monza and Suzuka are really popular because they're different, challenging and popular with the drivers.

Your never going to please everyone, and while I accept that his Turkish track is a really good design, unfortunately I can't forgive him for what he did to Hockenheim and now Fuji ;)

Hockenheim was certainly a great track before, and yeah it has lost it's character now but still a top track. Bahrain, Turkey, Malasyia are all top tracks imo and provide the best racing of the year. (Unless it rains :worship: )

He's designed the Singapore & Valencia Street tracks as well I believe! :whistle:

Christijan Albers loses Spyker drive

Spyker has announced that it has split with Christijan Albers with immediate effect.

The Dutch driver had been under pressure all season after struggling to match his rookie team-mate Adrian Sutil's pace, but a team statement said that he had ultimately been dropped after a sponsor defaulted.
