Thread: Planet F1 forum - stupid issues!

The most annoying thing is accidentally switching on Sky News and the result is scrolling across the bottom of the screen!

Sadly my Sky box isn't working properly at the moment. I can watch channels but I'm waiting for an engineer to come out as it's dropping sound sometimes, or channels are breaking up. Last time that happened a few years ago they just gave me a new box.

It's probably covered under the "Any car being driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or which is deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers at any time whilst the safety car is deployed will be reported to the stewards." rule.

Sooo ... anyone watched the GP of Shanghai? I tuned in on the race just as Hamilton went exit - not in the circuit itself, but as he entered the pit stop lane, of all things. I wonder what was going on in his head right then ...

I would be very annoyed if Alonso wins the championship. I think after all of his activities this year there wouldn't be very many who would be happy with that result.

Hamilton and McLaren didn't do themselves any favours leaving him out until his rear tire was completely worn out and do only have themselves to blame for that stupid entry into the pit lane that ended his race.

It was a good race though, with a lot of exciting battles. Massa shows some great driving again, trying to overtake and is starting to show himself as a much better driver coming towards the end of 2007.

If Hamilton can't win the championship in the final race, Kimi Raikkonen would be the one I think deserves it the most.

Although I have sat on the fence regarding criticizing one top driver over another, I absolutely want to see Hamilton take the championship this year. At least he's been consistent and driven better overall than his rivals throughout the season.

What happened in China is beyond belief. I simply can't bring myself to comprehend the stupidity of the actions building up to Hamo's demise, when all he needed was a cruise and collect for the Championship. Unbelievable, from supposed intelligent and experienced men in this day and age of data rich F1. Even without all the detailed technical info and top advisers, anyone at home must have been shouting like me for him to pit once his lap times dropped off sharply.

The pressure and atmosphere in Brazil are going to be amazing!

Makes me wonder who's gonna get the movie rights for this season!!!

You couldn't right a script any more dramatic than this season, could you (At least, not without some seriously majorly bad accident (or dodgy spy-plot... oh wait, that already happened, didn't it ))

Yep, I'm sure a Mr. Bernard Ecclestone is happy with the way things are going. The biggest TV audience for an F1 race in history is expected in Brazil. Last years season finale attracted 154 million viewers, the 4th most watched sporting event of the year (a Football WC year). There are suggestions that number of viewers this year will be at least half as much again.

It does make far more sense to end the season with Brazil with the whole of Europe heading into Primetime TV than the old Austrailia finishes. I just hope ITV schedule enough time to properly wrap up the season.

All we now need to find out is how much Bernie paid the guy to supply Hamilton with the dodgy tires!
