Alonso going to Ferrari doesn't assure Ferrari fighting for wins again. I compare Alonso with Schumacher when it comes to understanding of the car and talent ( even though Alonso is more talented when it comes to risk taking and overtaking ) and it took Michael 4 long years behind the Williams and the McLarens before he could win a championship. Yes, he fought for 1st places and he won those years, but based on pure talent. The car wasn't there yet, and in modern F1 to win a championship the car is more important than the driver.

F1-FREAK 666.... Watching F1 in the 70 doesn't make you more entitled to an opinion, it just make you ... old, and I am sorry if that is affecting you. I said that MS is the most unselfish DRIVER, and you come with charity that he does. I don't care for MS outside the track since he is not my friend and neither is yours. And Coulthatd was equal to Hakkinen, it was just that the second was a better driver, like Jenson and Barrichello. There was a race when they had the double brake pedal, that there was an agreement between then that the first to get to the first corner should win the race. That tells me of equally. Was Kimi second driver of Massa last year ? he let him win a couple of races at the end. I don't think so, but in some way the number one you earn it with points in the table. The perfect example of number one and two driver was MS and Alesi, when the second one went so slow in corners slowing everybody down so Michael could run away. Then was when the whole problem started with number 1 and 2. Maybe Alzaimer desease don't let you remember that.

F1-FREAK-666, Are you really reading what you write ? You saying that MS retire because he did not want to cost him his career is the most idiotic thing i've ever red. MS was the most selfish driver in history of F1, he did not wanna give a RACE to his "pal" Barrichello even after he became champion 5 races to the end. MS is not gonna retire saying that "he was getting smashed by Alonso" but that was what happen. Now you live in some kind of innocent Willy Wonka Wonderland, and you believe what you want to believe. And by the way, historically, Ferrari always had a 1 and 2 drive, so, either you are too young or to blind not to see it. Even they admit it in the '80s when that wasn't a big deal. And then you say that McLaren always run a 1, 2 driver, ???? always is just last year for you ? whay Heikki couldn't keep up with Alonso ?? What about Hakkinen , Coulthard, equals pal, tha fastest won, same with kimi, JPM, Alonso, Lewis, etc, you just don't see it.

neither Ferrari driver has personality at all, so, any of them can be number 2. Kimi don't care no more, and I think that he is due to an early retirement, probably to join a rally team. I wouldn't be surprised if that happen because he seems bored of F1 and rally is so much fun, and a totally different challenge. Felipe started as a number 2 at Ferrari, then jumped to a number 1 pretty much equal with Kimi, but he failed. I still believe he had the best, and not even the stewards could make him win the championship. He can be number 1, but with Alonso in the team is a clear number 2, Alonso smashed Shumi, twice, and I believe that that was the reason why Shumi retired. When it comes to caracter and temper Alonso don't play around, in the track and outside, making clear that he is the man and nobody else. Ferrari should get rid of both, and then get a name like Heidfeld, a proven driver, reliable, that can score points, finish races and win no championship. Vettel just can't go to Ferrari, ( with Alonso in ) that just go against the philosophy of the scueria. McLaren tried Kimi, Juan Pablo, and Fernando, Lewis, but that was McLaren. Ferrari would never do that.

FOTA wins and don't win. They are still getting the bread crumbs that Bernie gives them, they did not have the balls to form a breakaway series. All empty talk, playing safe, I guess they won, but for the moment i liked the idea of bigger engines, more speed, no clown tracks and no Berice at all. They had the whole cake, but they rather have bread crumbs.If you don'd dare , you never know if you could do it.

One thing for sure, Ferreri should not be as worried as McLaren 'cos at least they show improvement. Ferrari has a competitive car to work with,... McLaren hasn't.

Jenson, when you don't start from the front row, you are the same old Jenson, who accomplished nothing in 9 years. You are very solid yes, with a clear empty track.

It's not Vettel, is Adrian Newey who deserves all the credit. He drove the car, I give him just that.

I am worried for McLaren, because they are fallin further back, their development program is not working, it's just embarrassing. The problem is not the drivers, Lewis is together with Alonso the bests of all, but the car is as bad as it gets. For a moment I thought that they stop the development program focusing on next year car, but, that can't be the case, because they don't know what next year car will be ( the specifications ), they don't even know if they are going to be in F1 to begin with. Points are money, and even a rich team needs the money. They don't seem to have what it takes to develop the car, I believe some people have to get fire, and a good engineer have to come to McLaren. Adrian Newey left, and now, whoever is doing his job is not doing it right.

I just wonder first of all I the new series will be ready to race next year, and second what the car would be like. I believe a step forward would be to get a couple of cilinders more in that engine, fans love power, and you give those engines more power than the likes from F1 and fans will follow you.

I was one to say that they wouldn't have the balls, now I see how mistaken I was. I just noticed that Max acted so stupidly arrogant that I thought that he had the bull grabbed by the horns, and no matter what happened, FOTA would ended up in F1. Well, Max was 1000 times more mistaken that I was, since he should know better. But I have to admit that I am a little sad, since F1 was the main sport for me, and McLaren my team. I think I just have to adjust to the idea that they will be racing in a better series, I hope, I have my doubts, I hope they prove me wrong.

Who cares about backmakers ?

what Ross wants is what he had at Ferrari, a driver who can deliver results no matter what. This is perfect for him, because whenthe competition gets closer to the Brown cars let's see how Jenson delivers. Ross don't have to worry about that if he has Lewis.

no Jenson, the difference it's not you dirving for 9 years in F1, the difference is that your car is in a different level that any other.

New York ?, live there, awsome !!! I just hope it's not another dumb street circuit.

aren't these drivers under contract ?

what's wrong with Donington SirJibby ?

He wants to save himself the ebarrassment of being part of a back maker team. With a few upgrades maybe the Ferraris are in position to fight with A. Sutil and G. Fisichela

All of you Ferrari drivers would die to have Hamilton as a driver, you are so bitchy because is in "the other side". If he started his career at Ferrari he would be twice as popular as he is right now, and the lies and stuff would be forgiven on the spot, like it was forgiven when Michael tried to push JV out of the race and took hiself out. If Lewis did something like that would be executed by the FIA in the electric chair.

Chill out B. , because nobody says that what ML did was right, but all those points that were taken from ML last year by the stewards also had a value in money, and you well know that what happen then was wrong ( at Spa ). You did not bark that much because Ferrari was picking up the profits.

and all this mess was to jump from 4th position to 3rd, my 6 weeks old son is smarter.

Ferrari won't bounce back, not this season, whoever say this don't know Formula 1, but of course they will be more competitive, but never at a championship level. Do you guys think Brawn and Toyota are going to stay as they are ?.., no they have to develop too, and rushing the difuser tree for any team thay is not using it would be a mistake with the lack of testing this year, because it changes the whole aerodinamics in the car.. I understand that Ferrari fans are so desperate to keep the confidence level up, but this is the way it is, just wait and see.

ROBSON, if he went to Ferrari you would be the first kissing his ass.

OH my god, Ferrari fans are so foolish that is not even funny. Ferrari have been a top team since Michael came to the team , struggling at first and then dominating like no other team before. Michael is not an idiot, he brough Brown to the team, ( it was one of the conditions to come to Ferrari , and then add to that Jean Todht, it is just a lethal weapon, the dream team etc. Now those times are over, and for McLaren too, at least for a few years. Ferrari brought this clown Massa just to be Michael's servant, then Michael retired and all of the sudden he was pretty much in equal position with Kimi. There is no mistery, anybody can drive a perfect car, and Massa did it pretty much like Michael, form the front of the grid, no overtaking, pure strategy. But it happens that he has not even 1/1000 of the talent tha Michael has, and he blew it, last year. Now is over, because again, he can not overtake ( like kimi for instance )and he has to fight it from the mid grid because the car stinks, and the whole team ( exept Kimi who is a worldchampion) are also a bunch of clowns. Massa was so overrated for a couple of years, no the reality has came up.

If you were a MLaren fan you understood how funny that was. Good desicions guys ( team ) on Saturday and Sunday. Hillarious !!!

I keep saying it and people think I am crazy, Massais done, he couldn't overcome mentally the way he lost the championship, and now he said it," the past still fresh"

this is so retarded, I don't understand a bit, I don't understand why they change the story, .. to gain the 3rd place ?

Well, i don't see how they cuould have got in trouble if they just told the truth in the first place, , it is very clear that he let him pass, to change the story is just dumb. McLaren is too good of a team to always be involved in something like this. They have the tendency to always go thewrong way, ... I love them anyway

I am a McLaren fan and i hope they retire from the sport, because even if they race with a jet now, it is very clear they they won't be allowed to win a championship again, not at least this year.

And here we goes, .. but don't worry guys ( stewards ) because beyond all the money that i am sure is trown at you to favor Ferrari, this year this kind of crap is not necesary, because McLaren will not be a contender for the title, but neither will be Kimi, and forget Massa, because is done.

well, could be the rule, or could be the engeneers that red the rule with the same attention i read the comics in the newspaper. Three teams did not drop the ball.

Now, for those that say that honda made a stupid move by quitting the sport, I am not that sure that they were going to be this good, dont forget they have a McLaren engine now, and tru the years McL. has been so much superior to Honda in every aspect.

I am affraid that yes, they are that good, it kinda remainds me of 1997 ( I believe ) when Mikka won his first championship, when the McLarens were so superior that they almost lapped the car that finished 3rd. But the difference now is that the diffuser row will stay for the season unlike the McLarens that they were forced to change i believe it was the brake sistem that made them so superior.

Same excuse used by both

I correct myself and my apologies to BANNOR, because my posting before was meant for AndyG

Of course, Martin. By the way, BANNOR, and all of you that think that Lewis 4th place was 'lucky" because some people abandon the race, this is for you. What Lewis does best, like Alonso, is that they put themselves in a position to win in every single race, and how do you do that ?.. well first of oll you have to finish the race. If you pay attention you'll find that almost the same people always crashes, blow engines etc, but, some others, (even in the same team), find ways to finish, and most of times on the top. I don't care for Kubica, or Vettel, they were stupid enough to be too agressive, or too defensive, and one way or the other that is poor judgement, and judgement is just what separates Lewis or Alonso, from any other. So , please, somebody tell me how can ( the 4th place ) be lucky ? I don't know. You BANNOR, (and others) must be 12 years old, or just to dumb, to not see more into the reality of the situation, and I can't help myself feeling sorry for your thougts, and postings like that. Just read and learn, Lewis and Alonso are fast, but also, they keep focus during the whole race, and their judgement tell them when to be aggresive, or defensive, and how much, and all that put them 95 percent of the times in a position to finish the race, wich is the most important thing, since you can't finish on top if you don't finish at all.

in the head news of today ( will take weeks to catch Brown ) we see Massa biting his nais. Maybe is for that, or mayba just find out about the rain in Malaysia.

the best driver on the track, whoever denies that is either a hater, a blinded Ferrari fan, or maybe somebody that just don't understand motorsports.

The biggest loser was Ferrari , who beyond not scoring points, they showed that they even have more to work than McLaren, they are really off the pace, and Massa nor Kimi showed the hunger that Lewis showed.

Everybody in Formula 1 should be ashamed, , and i mean everybody. The cars look horrible, like little toys, way to small, weird looking, it's a giant step back. Everybody that somehow create or allow this situation to happen should be put in jail. C'mon, this is not F1, South American F2 has better looking cars than F1. Yesterday i was in front of the TV and i couldn't believe what F1 has became. my interest dropped from 10 to 3, i don't know if anybody felt the same, the sport is ruined.

I feel the anger in Felipe's voice, i bet he still hurt.

This comments by the drivers are nonsense, before Kimi said thathe will finish his career at Ferrari, now Ferrari has him under the microscope, now this guy say one thing, then another, blablalba, just want to make headlines i guess.

Thanks, but i guess we all know that already.

A law , rule or regulation not well thought, or not well written can be interpreted in more than one way. This diffuser thing is very tricky, and I am sure that Honda ( to name one team ) is using a diffuser that might not be the one required by the rule, but at the same time, nothing says that what they made it, it's not legal. In most cases until you change the rule it's nothing you can do, because a law is what you read, not what the creators of the law meant to say, so I believe it's legal

He lerned from the mistakes ? Do this mean that he don't spin anymore ? not even when somebody spill a beverage on the track ?

Him and Lewis are the best drivers, and i would even say that Alonso is even better than Schumacher was. He is a warrior, you can't never count him out, he wants to race, always. Sometimes just don't have the car.

I get it, he cares about his legacy better than living like a millionaire. Some things last forever, some don't.

And a possible scenario is that no Ferrari driver wins the most races this year, so Bernie will forget about it for good.

you have never been consistent anyway, so you shouldn't worry at all.

WAKE UP LUCA ! Formula one will not longer be the best in Motrosport. I am just happy that i witnessed the good years, Prost against Senna, Michael against Villeneuve, against Hakkinen , against nobody... etc, now we have good drivers but they will drive tea kettles ( if budget is apporved ). GOOD BYE

THussey ... any team that have a driver like Alonso woud be in front of Red Bull.

Of course he his, that's why he changed the points sistem in the first place, so the stewards can overturn every race that Massa comes in second to make him win. I hope it rains in every race, so he crashes in every single one of them.

WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED ?

Well Mr. Luca, you are the only one who can do something around here. Don't forget Ferrari is the only team that Bernie consider to be needed in F1. Use that power to change important things like the point sistem or the "most wins" or the budget cap. So please, do something and use your power for a little more than overturn Lewis's wins.

Please somebody tell me if the following could happen or is my imagination. Drivers who has some problems early in the race will use the race for testing, try parts, rear wings, etc, or even worse, abandon the race, because now they have to last for so long, an there is no point of racing if not for a win. I am seriuos, I don't know the whole rule, somebody answer me if there is a possibility of 4 or 5 cars finishing the race.

F1-FREAK-666... GOT YA ! But i still don' understand what the rules for next season could affect Lewis performance LAST YEAR. AGAIN ( if you did not read my second comment ), what if a driver wins this year championship, but not the points ?, under your way of thinking there will always be an asterisc or a stain putting down somebody's performance.

And by the way, for those who think that this devaluates Lewis championship, what if a driver this year wins the championship, ( most wins ) and loses in the point sistem ? would'n that devaluate the result ? THIS SUCK, THREE QUARTERS OF THE FIELD WILL RACE FOR NOTHINT.

f1-freak-666 .. i can't believe that we are almost to begin the new season and you still did not get over the fact that Lewis won the championship. You actually might still be holding your remote control with your mouth open since then, get some water or something, try to blink, haha. You are such a crying baby, you don't have to write much to let us know that. Weak !

Now, HONDA expended millions, for god knows how many years in a car that sucked really bad , and know that they have "the car" (let's see) they drop the ball before starting the season ? Well somebody seems to be really stupid. They left for money issues and they finally could have made some money out of it. Remember F1 is a cicle, you have a good car and stays that way for a few years.

why not a oval track ?, lets try something new, like Daytona. Formula 1 is always so desperate to mark its difference with american racing. Formula one is far on the top, but when it comes to fun and points sistems, americans are way ahead. A whole season of oval tracks is boring, but one race is fun, rather than some super boring tracks in the F1 calendar, ( like most of the asian GPs ). Of course, some hard head closed minded guy in this website will find this to be an idiotic idea, not to mention Max, Bernie and other dinosaurs that rule F1.

Fernando or Lewis will be the champion, everybody else is two steps down, one or the other ( or both ) have to have a good car.

Kimi is done before even starting the season, I feel that his only goal is to get his money. It is something not right about him, when asked questions he even seems like he doesn' t wanna be there. Maybe he is just not "hungry" anymore. But no doubt he is the fastest of all out there.

As a McLaren fan I am worried. I understand that times counts in the race but so far they are really off the pace. I wanna see Lewis out, he is the man that have to come up with something good.

I kinda believe that right now is needed at Honda, they have a huge development of the car to do, and nobody has more experience than him. When it comes to pure racing, there is nothing to get from him that we don't know yet, he will never be champion, no matter if he races until he is 80, and no matter the team, he had his chance and he blew it.

THOMAS998. . . JV is a Indy 500 winner, and a F1 champion, how do you dare call him a loser ? Thank god I red your comment, so I can remember your name and avoid reading your pathetic crap. Maybe somebody else is a loser in denial.

Hamilton will be champion again, testings mean nothing to me when it comes to lap times. The most talented will be the champion, and they will be either him or Alonso. When it comes to talent, they are two steps above everybody else.

Tecnology is what separates F1 form the rest. Indy cars are faster, americans don't joke around when it comes to speed. Now F1 wantS to kill tecnology too, ...I don't know.

FLASHASH ; I can tell you are as greedy as Kimi, tell me your adress I send you a few Euros.

Please Michael, stay away . You were my worst nightmare until you retired, the least I see you the better it is.

Williams have to make it , Williams leaving would be like McLaren leaving, it would just be a catastrofe. Honda I don't really care, they never brought anything to the table. Somebody wrote "it is better 20 cars than 18", so if i think like that i will ask Bernie to let me race, 21 cars is better than 20. Anyway, I am sure my Nissan could be faster than Jenson's Honda. LOL.

Poor Kimi, he makes minimum wage and cannot pay his licence. Hundreds of millions of people struggling to feed their children, and this guy is crying for doing what he likes, being a celebrity, traveling the world, and get paid millions to do it. Maybe you should appreciate a little bit what you have. At the end that money you spend in the superlicense ( that allows you to make those millions ) have to be about the same money you spend in vodka, so stop playing the poor kid because i'm not buying it.

Can anybody tell me what the points sistem will be like ?

As much as I hate Ferrari, I have to admit that I can't feel disgust for him, since I was fan of Kimi when he was at McLaren. Now, since I was 8 years old I've been a McLaren fan, no matter who the drivers were, but I can't just forget the past, he gave everything he had at McLaren, he just didn't have "the car". But I can't wish him well anyway. I feel sick everytime Fertari wins a race, and last race in the last lap when Vettel pass Lewis, I almost dropped dead. I just can't help it.

Shut up Niki , accept it, you can't be the man now, your time was done more than 20 years ago. Confronting death in every race make you better than this guys ? It is not like you had an option, what you drove was a tea kettle with wheels compared with the cars now. Safety is a good thing, I don't get your point on that.

Glad you are a stronger driver, and no a faster one. Because of that, Lewis will mop the floor with you once again. Ah ! Kimi will beat u too.

Felipe takes this testings very seriously. As he will never win a championship, setting the best time in test sessions is the most exiting thing that he will tell his children one day. Oops, I forgot, he was champion,.... for 10 seconds.

Bernie and Max have aready 20 Greyhounds of their own that will be unleashed in case of a McLaren driver winning the race. Then the safety car will come out. But in case this doesn't play in favor to Ferrari, then themselves (as the biggest dogs in F1) will run on the track in desperation to stop the race again...jeje

This HONDA thing is driving me crazy, I mean, it's not like we are losing something. What was their best result last year, a 15th and a DNF with ten laps to go ? Lewis is happy, fewer guys to lap.

Are you crazy Lewis ? what are you worying about ?, an electroshock ?.... c'mon, ... it's not like high voltage could kill you or something !. Besides, with the kind of money you guys are paying for licences, i am sure that Bernie will trow you a top notch funeral, with some celebrities and all... SO DROP IT !!!

The american media is the best or the worst, it depends how you see it. In this case they made a name ( Danika Patrick ) out of nothing. Let's put it this way, she is the Jenson Button of the IRL. But in the other hand, she is kinda cute, open to the media, etc, and most important of all, sponsors will be there. Now, I am sure she remembers when Bernie said ( a few years ago when asked about DP possibly coming to F1 ) that women are better performing with kitchen appliances than cars. Let's see how that develops.

This means nothing, but i bet everybody at McLaren feel better being on top. After all the changes you never know if the car is a joke, like the one in 2005.

Vettel is the most overrated driver i ever seen. He won a weird race .. oh! big deal, and he overtook Lewis once, oh, big deal again. C'mon, so far he is a step below of quite a few drivers.

Lewis is a racer. Michael was all about strategy, pits stops for him was not only to change tires and refuel, it was also to win positions. Kinda boring to me. I don't care what anybody says, with equal cars Michael always lost, ( exept with Benneton ). With Ferrari he had to have the best car BY FAR to win all he won. With equal cars late in his career he lost to Alonso, ( a racer like Lewis . Everybody sees Michael like some kind of god because he broke all those records, but most of all because he was at Ferrari when he did it. He retired because he could not beat Alonso, he was being ambarrased by Fernando big time, and his legacy was deteriorating little by little.

PROPOSAL OF NEW RULES FOR 2010 BY MAX AND BERNIE. 1- Cars will run with solar panels on the top, so no engines nor fuel at all will be necessary, so we kill 2 birds with one shot. 2- Cars will reach a top speed of 90 km/h, so only 5 set of tires are allowed per season, ( regular street tires ). 3- No more qualifying sessions. Since Ferrari is the only team that Formula one can not survive with, both Ferrari drivers will start 1st and 2nd, with one lap adventage on everybody else. 3-(a)- On wet track, Massa will have 2 laps of adventage. 4- Max and Bernie are the stewards, for the whole season. In case of a protest from a team, they will step aside, and a second group of stewards would have the final word. B and M have chosen Luca Di Montezemolo and Jean Todht to be the second group. 5- Teams will choose between 2 points sistems. A- Medals. B- 10 points for the first, 9 for the second, 2 for the third, 1.5 for the fourth, 1 for the fifth, 0.75 for the sixth, 0.5 for the seventh and a final 0.25 for the eigth.

AMERICANS WILL NEVER LOVE FORMULA 1, we love motorsports ( and i am a F1 freak ) but americans love NASCAR. For F1 it is more than just schedule a race or 2 in North America, NASCAR is america, as F1 is Europe. You can go to a NASCAR race and walk tru the garages, talk to the drivers, the mechanics, not big deal, Americans love that. Formula 1 is all about luxury, and if you approach a driver you probably spend that night in jail. Bernice knows that, his giant ego got kicked i bet everytime the Nascar 400 and the INDY 500 sold probably 300.000 tickets and f1 ( before the 8 cars race fiasco ) struggled to sell 150.000. Like it or not this is the way it is.

Michael Schumacher never had a problem with big rear wings..., since he never had to overtake anyone, jeje,... he always did it tru pit stop strategy, jeje, ....

as a McLaren fan this is shocking to me, but anyway , I still don't get why they waited until after the car was introduced for this. If they were to drop, they would have done the voting a month ago.

Formula 1 had worked so hard over the last couple of decades on "car safety matters". No one has died in recent year, even when we have seen really serious accidents. If the cars of the 70's and 80's would have had the speed of the last decade, Formula 1 could have had 10 dead drivers, at least. I just hope that KERS is safe, for the drivers, the mechanics, marshalls, etc. If it is not, it would be a giant step back in safety.

BUBCHRONIC, don't live in the past, get over it, obviously McLaren winning the drivers hurt yor so much that you are still looking for idiotic excuses. The most stupid thing i've ever red in this website is that Hamilton won the drivers because of information or whatever they stole from Ferrari. But even if that was the case, McLaren was smart enough to do a better than Ferrari in using that stolen information. REMEMBER BUBCHRONIC, DRIVERS IS WHAT COUNTS, IS THE ONE REMEMBERED FOR THE AGES... I KNOW... IT STILL HURT YOU.

well, if that is the case, Ferrari should use more the "if this happpen we retire from the sport", in order to stop all the nonsense from Max and Bernie.

I am amazed by the lack of fresh ideas, from the writers in this page or even authorities in F1. Nobody likes the medals, ok lets go to 10, 6, 4 sistem... very impressive. What about a sistem with 50 points to the winner, giving points to every single driver on the track, even the last gets a point. It can be a gap of 10 or 12 points between 1st and 2nd. Besides everybody would be fighting for position, because if you are 15th on the track, ( example ), you want to fight for 14th, because you have extra points. Again , a big gap ( in points ) between the first 5 cars can be done, so nobody gets confortable because it gets points. I want to hear from you guys, and if it is crap tell me, but give me a good reason.

STEP IT UP LIKE HE DID AT FERRARI ??????? EDDIE LOOOSEEER !

Button was so overrated in the past just for being the only British driver on the track. Now Hamilton stole the show,... who needs him now ? Button is where he deserves to be.

Are you really thinking of winning a championship ???? well, that is the funniest thing i heard in a long time. You had your opportunity you idiot, at Ferrari, well, you decided helping Michael to win , or they did not let you win, or whatever. You had the chance of your life and you blew it, and i don't think it is coming now, in F1, at 36 years old. Be realistic.

ROBSON : Don't cry please. Believing that the stealing of tecnical data made Mclaren better is just childish. You don't have to worry, you are in the safe side, you play with Uncle Sam, Manchester utd, evil empire,.... I MEAN YOU ARE A fERRARI FAN. Let the others worry about stewards, the unfair, Bernie etc,. Your team has the best car and all the "judges" in favor, if they did not win the drivers it is because you don't have the best driver. Maybe you just have to suck it up for once.

With standard engines would just be a batlle between lewis and fernando. Felipe is good now because of the Ferrari car, but he is not half as talented as the other two.

You never know Lewis, maybe they change you, it is pretty dumb to say that you will never leave the team, the coin has always 2 sides.

riano78... you are 100 percent right, and i tell you even more, they should look to USA racing too when it comes to points, they are well ahead of F1 since it is more fun ( the points sistem ), more versatile, less selfish with the "not so good" teams, etc. The only thing that keep ( or kept ) Formula 1 like "the best in racing" was the spending in new engines, new tecnologies, new chassis, was the fastest, the riskier, but they are killing all that too, so I see Formula one getting blend with other crappy formulas in the future.

I hope many more folow you Fernando, I always thaught that lack of viewers or support in general from fans was the way to cure this cancer that Max and Bernie want create, but this is even better.

I would change the sistem completelly. I would give points to evey single car on track, let's say it start with 50 points to the winner, then you come down until one point to the last. This way gives flexibility, since you can do a 10 points diference between first and second, or more, and everybody is rewarded. At the end of the season everybody will have points, instead of now, when 3, 4, 5, drivers are tied with no points......

To break Michael's record, first, he has to become some kind of Benito Mussolini in the team, then he has to have 6 or 8 drivers from the weak Scuderias racing for him, and then his teammate has to surrender if he is ahead of him even if it is the last lap of the first race of the season. Breaking those records has nothing to do with skills, ( even when you have to show some )

I always wondered, .... If Michael was that good, why he needed this sort of things done. Again. I've never seen Michael with that great overtaking at the end of the race to win ( at least with Ferrari ) . It was always tru pits stops , fuel strategy, or now even worst, like this.

The more i think, the more stupid it gets. Example, ... Raikkonen stuck behind a car, in 5th position, away from 3rd, would he fight for position or would he save the engine for the next race ? This will kill the fun in the middle field, or at least from the 5th and back, since they will not get a medal. Bernie says that all the teams are happy with this, i don't see how the weak teams( Honda, Toyota, STR and Williams included ) benefit from this. They will only run to show the sponsors on their chassis.

I hear Bernie, i understand what he is trying to do, but is nonsense. With the points the best performance overall during the year wins. Next year we expect to have 3 or 4 teams fighting for a win, since Renault and BMW are expected to be contenders too. Well, put this into considerations, ONE DRIVER, WINS 4 RACES,BUT ITS ENGINE FAILS A FEW TIMES IN OTHER RACES ( FOR PUSHING TOO MUCH FOR THE WIN )OR CRASHES, OR END UP IN THE GRAVEL FOR THE SAME REASON. HE ONLY ADDED 40 ( OLD ) POINT FOR THE SEASON, BUT HE WILL BE THE CHAMPION BECAUSE THE OTHER VICTORIES ARE SPREAD BETWEEN THE OTHER 5 OR 7 DRIVERS. IT STINKS !!! SOCKS !!!!!!!

As a fan I quite often feel neglected by F1. At last F1 exists because of us, that buy tickets, watch the races, buy marchandise, travel, etc. After the Indianapolis fiasco ( for the michelin tires )i did not care about F1 for a year, and i consider myself a F1 freak. I went to that race and I and other hundred thousand people spent thousands of dollars for a weekend, and we all know the rest. Then they make the engines smaller, and now they talk about standard engines. That is what separate F1 from Indy cars and other crappy American formulas. Ferrari said that they would even leave, and as much as i hate Ferrari , who wants to watch F1 without the big bad wolf. But they don't care, and keep bringing this ideas , and changes, that only kill the sport. If this crap actually happen, i just stay with Indy and NASCAR. I don't like them, but why to pay extra money in the cable bill just to have speedchannel , if i can watch the two i mentioned above for free. It just would be the same.

ROBSON; what truth ?... i tell you what would happen if they swap drivers, Mc laren would be a top 3 team .. again, and F India a botton team, wih Hamilton outperforming Heikki. Hamilton is not god, he is just a driver, he can't make no magic with a bad car. I have a question for you... WHERE WAS MASSA BEFORE COMING TO YOUR BELOVED FERRARI, WAS HE THIS GOOD ?????

Bernie is just little crazy. Remember 2 or three years ago, when USA was in love with Danika Patrick, he was asked if she could be considered one day in F1, and he answered to he american media, AT THEIR HOME RACE, that women should better handle kitchen appliances.

Jenson, YOU ARE THE WORST KIND OF LOSER, WHICH IS A LOSER WHO DOESN'T KNOW THAT IS A LOSER, ..... I CALL THEM LOSERS IN DENIAL. You are driving a piece of crap because you sock really bad. Hamilton does not need to drive a piece of crap to demostrate to be a good driver, because he already outperformed Alonso at Mclaren. You could not even outperform your teammate, who is like 65 years old. JUST SHUT UP AND DRIVE !!!!!

As much as i like Mclaren , i guess i've seen it all from kovy, i just hope I'm mistaken.

That's South America, a continent that, when it comes to sports pretty much only cares about soccer, or football ( however you like to call it ). That happen every time to the visiting team when there is an important game. The problem is when a bunch of soccer fans, who do not follow motorsports at all, and they only want to cheer for the local driver. That is what they know, that is what they do.

EDDIE THE BIG SERVANT, ... are you still serving lunch to Schumacher every single Sunday as you used to ? I bet you do, PATHETIC !!!!!!!

Lewis says that he has the best car, i don't completely agree with that. He did in some races but in the overall, i guess Ferrari still a very little step above. He actually could sweep the floor with Massa if he had the car that Massa had in most races, but it happens that hamilton it is just a better driver, and his talent is only compareble to Alonso's. I just don't understand why Mc Laren keeps Heikki, he had a really off season, and i don't see on him the talent that Coulthard, Raikkonen, Mikka or Montoya, or Alonso had as Mc laren drivers. It's been quite few years that Mc Laren has 2 strong drivers at the same time, i don't get why they change that. If he could beat Alonso ( when teammates), he could beat anyone.

Alonso loves to have Nelsinho Piquet as partner. In some way he is like Michael Schumacher, he has to be the number one driver, he is some kind of dictator in the team, and if his partner finishes in front, somebody in the team is in trouble, cause he'll be furious. Actually was reported that that happened when he was with Mc Laren. Under achievers, and under performers, are the best or him to have as partner.

Some people are still in shock, and just cannot believe the way that Massa lost the championship. Well it is the way it is, Toyota took a good decision on staying on dry tires, (Timo gained a position) and that's it. If Toyota had decided to change to "wets", Massa wouldn't even had the chance that he had.

"F1_FREAK_666"- My dear Freak, I KNOW THAT MC LAREN DID NOT WIN THE CONSTRUCTORS CHAMPIONSHIP, and for your surprise i could be more informed than you think. But you (as the best informed guy that you believe to be)shuld know tha the BIGGEST accomplish in formula one is to win the drivers championship, and historically has been that way, especially for Ferrari who has always had number 1 and 2 drivers. So as happY and as proud as Ferrari claim to be, be sure my friend that they still banging their heads against the walls, because specially for them, getting the constructors only it is just lame. I did not invented that, it has allways been like that for Ferrari. When it comes to Schummy, I paid attention to him, when racing for Benetton, even when i hated him, 'cause i liked Senna, and that was it. I don't care for him, i find it a boring driver, the last 3 or 4 championships he won, he had a jet, compared to the other scuderias that were driving bad developed cars with reliability problems ( for pushing too much the development of their cars to just not be embarrased by Ferrari ). And even then, I saw over and over again, Mr. Schummy not racing ( not at least the way that great drivers like Senna, or Prost) . Of course, Mr. Freak was having the time of his life , but for others who love racing,( and don't care for Ferrari, like obviously me ) ) deciding races in boxes, and overtaking your closest rivals in pit stops strategies, it is an insult. The only cars i ever saw him overtake were cars he was lapping. If you did not see Freak, then you are just blind, or maybe another guy, convinced by the media about Schummy being the best driver ever. My god, thanks to the change, to the hamiltons, the alonsos, even the massas an raikonens, THOSE HAVE BALLS AND WANT TO RACE. CIAO !!!

As much as this Mc Laren victory might hurt Shummy, and all the Ferrari fans, Hamilton's championship is well deserved. The FIA has got to a point of favoring Ferrari that makes me sic. This year they reverse a result of a race that Hamilton won BY FAR, and not happy with that, the Stewards invented a drive thru penalty in a incident that he was clearly innocent. Well, you know what Ferrari fans ? Mc Laren Mercedes Benz are the champions now, and they kicked Ferrari's butt, the same way Mikka did to SHummy before. And in response to the Schummacher fans, i say this, ... we now have a champion who is not affraid of overtaking, not affraid of racing, not like Mr. Schummy, who always won by fuel strategy, and gaining positions thru pits stops. New blood is back, and i love it. Schummy can stay next to Jean Todht, crying this one together.
