I'm getting very very bored of Red bull winning, I wonder if they've got something the other teams haven't

They only won this race by pure luck, and how did alfonso get 2nd.

Bored from Essex

An F1 car is just too fast for Monaco, well for a safe race anyway. There's a race there because of "tradition" and all the money that's in the locality. I find it inconceivable that a 30MPH corner exists anywhere on an F1 track.

Sorry, for me Monaco, mundane, dangerous and slow.

What I don't understand is this: When they do the start of the race, do they keep the time differences between the cars intact and if so how?

Virgin to split with Wirth research. looks like the Russian backers of the Virign team want to change direction of the team.

I think they are close to being beaten by HRT and they have no money . Team Norfolk are doing OK but with a Renault engine and Red Bull transmission I would like to think they could be quicker thanb they are

Quite surprised with the viewpoints already put forward by the various teams

Ah bugger, I downloaded a Excel F1 spreadsheet and this has buggered it up as its protected and addtional tracts cannot be added.

Mind you Bernie need the cash from them doesn't he

What happens to those people who have spent a fortune to visit the India GP on the 30th October?

As they are unlikely to get a full refund.

Buemi runs over a spectator during a Red Bull demonstration as dumb spectator runs across the track.

Luckily neither driver or moron was injured.

You can watch the video here: http://en.espnf1.com/f1/motorsport/story/50699.html

Bahrain is off the calendar for 2011 again, it seems the FIA broke their own rules in reinstating it, and overlooked article 66 of their code which states no amendments can be made to the arrangements for a championship after entries open without the agreement of all competitors.

On Tuesday the teams wrote to the FIA expressing their objections to Bahrain being put back on the calendar, so without their agreement the race is off!

Hopefully this is the end of the matter, the Grand Prix season should allways finish in Brazil. I mean what about people who booked time off to go to the Indian race only for Bahrain to flash the cash and be given preference.
Not to mention the logistics which were probably allready in place!

Awww the poor Marshal tripping himself up whilst trying to run to the car (on board footage)

Same old, Vettel on pole will easily win and continue to run away with the championship. Its already wrapped up in my eyes. Was it Coulthard who said this was one of the best F1 seasons so far?
