Whatever happens this year, think about the tension in the Maclaren garage next season. It'll be the Prost/Senna years all over again.

About time us punters had something to watch in F1 as the regulations over the past few years have made the majority of the racing cack.

Ron will be having sleepless nights but Bernie must be rubbing his hands with glee...

There is of course the Prodrive Team that will be looking for two drivers. I am not sure whether Jenson would join up again with David Richards seeing as how it ended up the last time but I am pretty sure the car will be competitive although not a front runner straight away.

Alonso will have to leave Maclaren but it doesnt look like Ferrari have a vacancy to fill at this time .... not sure who else would have a package that he would want to drive.

Flavio the boss of Renault has given an open invite to Alonso stating that he can join them whenever he is ready, and they are desperate to have him back no matter what.

Yeah,

Given that Renault are the tightest buggers this side of Mr Murano then I doubt he will go back !!!

Actually you're both incorrect (i thought i would say that instead of using the word 'WRONG' in case one of you is so heartbroken being told that you're 'WRONG' that you commit hari kari, and i just couldn't live with that) :pmsl:

Has anyone heard the latest? Radio 1 news said Mark Webber has complained to the FIA saying that the reason Vetell went into the back of him is because Lewis was speeding up and slowing down behind the safety car, and so the FIA are now investigating Lewis!
What a plank! Webber couldnt even control his car when he was behind the safety car he was constantly outbraking himself! He must be jealous because he hasnt had an amazing career, and cant accept that Hamilton is so good! Either that or call me suspicious but what is in the back of Webbers car..? ooh a Ferrari engine?! Maybe the Ferrari boys didnt think getting McLaren excluded from the constructors was enough? Its stupid, what ever happened to good old wheel to wheel racing, politics are ruining the sport.

FIA investigation! Speculation as to whether Lewis will lose 10 grid slots next race or lose his 10 points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kind of hoping it doesn't come to either. Looked like Vettels fault to me.
