Totally agree Rita.

If the mandate was for safety, then don't let them go without adding air pressure, and give them a drive-through or something for trying to be sneaky. CAUSE HELLO. Everyone knows lower pressure means moar grip.

Will Buxton wrote about it. Pretty spot on.

F1 is the dumbest sport. Why can't I quit you?

sounds like a Button/Alonso comment about the McHonda

I really don't care about Button or his carrier but I really feel bad for Alonso.
I just want to see Ham Alonso and Vettel in different but equally competitive cars is that too much to ask for?

I don't mind the Merc domination so much. I just wish the FIA had some ***** when they're supposed to have some *****. Oh that, and I don't know why the teams can't be sustainable when the sport prints money.

r/ ALO HAM and VET with good equal machinery, 2010 and 2012 were close enough, and, well, VET did the damn thing. I'm not sure many other driver's would have done it.

For Bauley:

Dr Zetsche was in Monza at the weekend and informed sources say that a supply of engines to its rival Red Bull Racing has been ruled out.

Mercedes sources indicated that it considered the situation a lose-lose, as if Red Bull beat the works team it would make no sense, while if it didn’t, it would likely criticise its engine partner, as it has consistently over the last few years with Renault.
Congrats RBR. You made your bed, now you get Ferrari engines instead of Merc's. Look what that did for LOLtus this year.

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Blue."

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Blue."

Renault buys LOLtus F1 if they get paid like Merc does before prize money (~$35 mil/yr). CVC/Bernie is all like f that.

Renault leaves sport altogether without the money. If Renault leaves the sport, I will laugh/cry at how poorly this thing circus is run.

Just curious what the whole point was for these new engine regs when they can't keep/bring in manufacturers? I mean, who wants to be Honda right now? And it's only going to get worse as the token allocations dwindle to nothing.

Unless of course every new manufacturer get's to start from zero (from an allowed token usage perspective).

well, in hindsight it appears the point of the new regs wasn't to bring in new mfr's
