Formula 1

Yeah but the maufacturers are always going to support the most cost effective one and the one that provides them with the best returns and in reality F1 hasn't been doing that for ages.
It was only a matter of time really.

I wonder if there will be several unexpected penalties and Williams or Force India win out the rest of the races.

i think to penalise them for standing up for what they want would be just petty and childish, so i expect something to happen.

TBH i still dont think it will happen...
ferrari, mclaren and bmw will goto lms.
brawn, red bull and toro rosso will continue in f1.
toyota will go back into rally.
renault will be bought by flavio, and continue in f1

I;m SO happy

ITV must be laughing at the minute, the Beeb have got the coverage for another four years after this season and I'm sure its rumoured to cost over 30 million a year.

I don't think this breakaway series will happen either. I believe Brawn and Red Bull will stay in F1. There already was talk of Renault entering during the 24 hours, Ferrari dropped a few hints of entering Le Mans, Toyota has announced that they want to bring a hybrid to Le Mans and I think they currently have a Dome chassis that they are testing with.

Jenson's new helmet is pretty cool, dunno about "Push The Button" plastered all over it, but its at least a nice design

And the new Red Bull nose looks rater silly, looks like some of their earlier seasons cars now with that big fat nose.

The Red Bull looks like its got a bit between its teeth lol. Which if their performance this morning is anything to go by.... they have!

I have most of the BAR Honda Button shirts that used almost every button gag there was going. There aint one out there that would suprise me.
I'll just be happy to see the headline "Button: Its all sewn up!"

Right guys I think tonight we will see Bernie step in and maybe presude FOTA to stay, if they do break away, were going to have another indy/champ car issue, fingers corssed and hopefully they will get max out they way.

I think persuading went out of the window:

FIA to sue over breakaway attempt.

Formula One's governing body, the FIA, says it will begin legal proceedings over plans to set up a rival world championship next year.

Looks good, especially the 3D map showing the cars positions. Would be very nice to have if you were trackside. But from what I can tell they want £5 for this per race or £20 the rest of the season. No thanks.

Yeah, Its cos the FIA have not payed the guy who made it!

I would have to constantly pay for it? Oh well, another cool think thats is too overpriced

is F1 dead yet? Im bored, i fell asleep a few controversies ago...

Virgin abandon Brawn GP:

thts nt good, i wonder who brawn is going to go to now???

Virgin is still going to sponsor them for the rest of the season. With their success this year, I'm sure they can find another sponsor for next year.

Well done to Vettel, that was very dominant.

i have to agree!!!
Redbull have got it now, Brawn with have to wake up a little now.

Like it how Jenson has a new helmet just for this race

Yeah with his monster energy sticker on the top. I guess a lot of people will be copying him now Eh Ian?

YES! Very dominant and boring!
Halfway through the race, I did some house cleaning. I wanted this british GP to be great because of the fact it might be the last one there. But it wasn't to be fair. Vettel was way up in front. The rest of the field was either quite spread out or they couldn't overtake!

Not so bad for brawn, thnk this way te heat issue in the tyres on the brawns was a big part, next 2 roundsat nurburing and hungaring shuld suit brawn and button better, but no lookslike have a championshiip.

Hats off 2 vettle couldnt of gone 2 a nicer guy, germanys secound schmacer

The midfield were having some good racing, especially the Alonso Hamilton fight. Was good to watch, but yeah otherwise it was pretty boring. But thats Silverstone I suppose...

yh hamiltons and alonso battle was good, and when Heikki Kovalainen let Hamilton past and Sebastien Bourdais hit Kovalainen.

Who do u think was in the wrong there??
