I am Rod Hull Posted 10 July 2011 Posted 10 July 2011 the McLaren hierarchy must be getting ready to boot out Whitmarsh, ever since he's took over they constantly make amateurish mistakes, Ron Dennis NEEDS to sack him and come back to the F1 side of the business too or they will lose Hamilton at the end of the season Good post.. Totally agree.. I saw a Lewis interview this week about his future with McLaren and you could tell by his manner, he wants out or change.. Redbull are so infront of McLaren at the moment, its so clear to see..

isaidno Posted 18 July 2011 Author Posted 18 July 2011 Bernie Ecclestone has said that he would likely approach Channel 5 first if the BBC elects not to extend its deal to cover Formula 1.The BBC's current contract to broadcast grand prix racing finishes at the end of 2012, and there has been speculation that budget cuts at the company could make it unable to commit beyond then - or even exit its contract a year early. Ecclestone told The Sunday Telegraph that he hoped the BBC would choose to continue covering the sport - but admitted there were other options if it did not happen. "We have got no problem with the Beeb," he said. "I can't see how the BBC could cancel [its contract early]. We could probably sue them." Speaking about other contenders to keep F1 on free-to-air television, Ecclestone suggested that he would approach Channel 5 owner Richard Desmond. "Let's wait and see about the BBC because at the moment they want to make a noise," he said. " talk to Richard, obviously." He added: "It isn't possible that F1 could go on to pay TV, we wouldn't want to do that."

isaidno Posted 22 July 2011 Author Posted 22 July 2011 Heavy rain forecast for the German Gp on Sunday. I've put some money on Button @ 16/1 to win.
ramboacdc Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 Heavy rain forecast for the German Gp on Sunday. I've put some money on Button @ 16/1 to win. heavy rain usually suits mr schumacher.
Brainy Posted 22 July 2011 Posted 22 July 2011 very difficult track this is heavy rain, particularly the first corner
stix Posted 23 July 2011 Posted 23 July 2011 Great drives from Webber & Hamilton. Disappointing for Jenson. Though if its wet tomorrow that should play into his hands. The king of strategies
Finnegan Posted 24 July 2011 Posted 24 July 2011 Endlessly better from Lewis, very good race - he's been good all weekend. Unfortunate for Jenson. Kamui Kobayashi, blatantly man of the day mind.
Joeb.lcfc Posted 24 July 2011 Posted 24 July 2011 Great race, Vettel not being on podium is great and Alonso hitching a lift from webber was class
nuttytimmy Posted 24 July 2011 Posted 24 July 2011 Brilliant race from Lewis and a nice touch from Webbo in giving a lift to Alonso. All in all a good, entertaining race.
stix Posted 24 July 2011 Posted 24 July 2011 Entertaining from start to finish. Certainly not the boring F1 days of old. Only 7 days till the Hungaroring too.
isaidno Posted 26 July 2011 Author Posted 26 July 2011 Fact of the day for you. Vettel has 16 wins but has only won once from outside the front row (Malaysia 2010). He's a fantastic qualifier but when he's in the pack he makes mistakes.
