McLaren face the FIA on April 29 regarding the following points:

- On 29 March, 2009, told the stewards of the Australian Grand Prix that no instructions were given to Hamilton to allow Jarno Trulli to pass when both cars were behind the safety car, knowing this statement to be untrue.

- Procured its driver, Hamilton to support and confirm this untrue statement to the stewards.

- Although knowing that as a direct result of its untrue statement to the stewards, another driver and a rival team had been unfairly penalised, made no attempt to rectify the situation either by contacting the FIA or otherwise.

- On 2 April, 2009, at a second hearing before the stewards of the Australian Grand Prix, (meeting in Malaysia) made no attempt to correct the untrue statement of 29 March but, on the contrary, continued to maintain the statement was true, despite being allowed to listen to a recording of the team instructing Hamilton to let Trulli past, and despite being given more than one opportunity to correct its false statement.

- On 2 April, 2009, at the second stewards' hearing, procured its driver Hamilton to continue to assert the truth of the false statement given to the stewards on 29 March, while knowing what he was saying to the stewards was not true.

Ferrari have no hope either here or at the next GP. Until we develop a diffuser and sort out the KERS problems, we should be happy to pick up any points we can.

Great drive from Vettel - again - and both Red Bull drivers will expect a chance to win the race having qualified ahead of their Brawn GP rivals.

Alonso has made Piquet Jr look pretty useless today - the former in second and the latter 17th. Briatore can fuck off though as his vendetta against Brawn GP continues. He couldn't get the decision to ban their diffuser (and those used by two other teams) so now he wants to prevent them being able to acquire money Honda had due to them despite full support for Brawn GP from the likes of Ferrari and McLaren.

I've never really liked Briatore who thinks he's Formula 1's answer to Maurizio Zamparini (Palermo president, ridiculously outspoken). I suppose looking at his QPR record that's exactly what he is.

Well done to Vettel and Red Bull. Very talented young driver and a really nice bloke on top of that. Hopefully they can push on and challenge Brawn and Toyota.

Looks like the McLaren car is slowly improving.

Ferrari without a point after 3 races. :mellow:

I can't emphasise :angry: enough. Massa was doing fine until his car failed and Raikkonen - he wants to make me so angry I drop dead.

McLaren are improving and they, along with Heidfeld, are the only cars using KERS now.

Brilliant result for Red Bull and congratulations to Vettel. Buemi too.

I'm happy to see that there's a change in the formula one circuit now.

The dominating teams have been more or less invisible and the newcomer is shocking everyone.

But I mean... Three races in, we have the defending champion at 10th place, the runner-up at 15th and the 2007 champion at 16th place.

It's... sick. But funny ^^ Go Brawn, go Jenson Button ^^ About time he wins something.

PS: Everyone knew that Sebastian Vettel would become a star eventually.

SUSPENDED three race sentence - nothing happens to them unless they break the article rule again in the next 12 months which isn't going to happen so basically, they get away with it.

Added to the fact that its boring as shit because overtaking is so hard. Fair enough with Monaco because its a great track in a unique location steeped in history but I really don't see the point in a race like this one when theres better ones that have been taken out of the calendar. You just need to look at how much Vettel was compromised by Massa to see that its daft. On the subject of Massa and Ferrari, just when you thought they couldn't get any more stupid they manage to turn what was a potential 2nd into a scraped 6th.

It's amazing how this season has gone so far, Brawn being such a big instant success in their first ever season, and Ferrari and McClaren way down there in the constructor's championship.

At least Ferrari got a much improved result today, would've been much different had Kimi not had the pole position snatched off him by Button.

Oh I am, and it has nothing to do with me being a McLaren fan wanting my team to win, last two seasons were amazing even with Hamilton losing to Kimi at the end and last year Hamilton becoming the champ, no matter who was your team you have to appreciate two consecutive years with only one point difference between 1st and 2nd place, just amazing, and this year looks far away from that, i just wish other team could step up, Vettel is good but he makes so many mistakes, at this time i just don't see him as a real contender, in fact, i couldn't think of someone else but Barrichello, and not even him, if someone doesn't step up fast, this season could be over really fast, and thank God not as fast as it would be with that new rule they want of medals.

I hope that Button's dominant year helps so that new rule they want to pass that the champion will be decided only by races won don't pass, can you imagine, only two or three more races and the season could be officially over, in fact, it could be over by now, because i don't see Vettel wining 8 consecutive races or Button not winning again in the whole year, that could be the most stupid rule ever because right now, only after 6 races, with that rule, the championship is over, no doubt about it, can you imaging how much money they could lose, i guess they haven't thought of that, LOL, maybe they forgot how to make money, hahaha.

Poor Massa, such a bad luck, but on the other hand, finally McLaren won a race, this means to me that they are on the right track for next year, we all know that this season is over, but they are thinking more in the next season, so, keep up the good work, we'll see if this was not a one hit wonder in the last races, they better win a couple of more races and be in the first places and that would be a nice way to finish such a bad season.

Bollocks :<

Seven-time Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher has abandoned his comeback with Ferrari because of a neck injury.

The 40-year-old, who retired at the end of 2006, was set to deputise for the injured Felipe Massa at the European Grand Prix in Valencia on 23 August.

"Unfortunately we did not manage to get a grip on the pain in the neck which occurred after the private F1-day in Mugello," Schumacher told his website.

Veteran Ferrari test driver Luca Badoer will now stand in for Massa.

Schumacher aggravated a neck injury, suffered in a bike accident in February, whilst trying out a 2007 F1 car as he set about making his comeback.

But the 40-year-old German revealed: "The consequences of the injuries caused by the bike accident, fractures in the area of head and neck, unfortunately have turned out to be still too severe.

"That is why my neck cannot stand the extreme stresses caused by F1 yet. These are the clear results of the examinations we did on the course of the past two weeks and the final examination on Monday afternoon.

"As there were no improvements after the day in Mugello, I decided at short notice on Sunday to do that thorough examination on Monday."

A strong neck is crucial to F1 drivers who face punishing G-forces, and Schumacher contacted Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo and team boss Stefano Domenicali on Monday evening to tell them he had lost his fitness battle.

"I'm very sorry about the problem that will stop Michael returning to racing," Montezemolo said.

"His return would surely have done Formula 1 good and I'm certain we'd have seen him fighting for victory again.

"I want to thank him in the name of Ferrari and all the fans for the attachment to the team he has shown in these circumstances."

With little time to find a replacement for Massa, who is recovering at home in Brazil, from the serious head injuries he suffered during qualifying for the Hungarian GP, Ferrari have named Badoer as Kimi Raikkonen's team-mate in Valencia.

After a decade as a test driver for the team the 38-year-old Italian is himself returning to racing after a long absence.

But Badoer, who tuned his racing abilities by karting with Schumacher in Italy last week, does not bring the German's level of experience and abilities.

He started 49 races for Scuderia Italia, Minardi and Forti between 1993 and 1999 without scoring a point.

His last competitive drive saw him qualify last and retire early from the 1999 Japanese Grand Prix.

Schumacher won five world championships with Ferrari and had been working as a consultant for the Italian team before his decision to come out of retirement to stand in for Massa.

The German, who claimed his other two drivers' crowns with Benetton, has started 249 grands prix, winning a record 91 of them.

His return was eagerly anticipated but, despite trying everything 'medically or therapeutically' possible, he has had to admit defeat.

"I am disappointed to the core," he said. "I am awfully sorry for the guys of Ferrari and for all the fans which crossed fingers for me.

"I can only repeat that I tried everything that was within my power. All I can do now is to keep my fingers crossed for the whole team for the coming races."

And, while the rest of the F1 drivers were enjoying their mid-season break, Schumacher had embarked on a rigorous training regime, resulting in him losing more than six pounds in weight before calling off his return.

"It's hugely disappointing," said David Croft, Radio 5 live's F1 commentator. "The F1 world was very much looking forward to seeing Michael Schumacher locking horns with Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso.

"But it's hardly surprising. The g-forces that your neck muscles particularly are exposed to in a modern-day F1 car can take their toll and give you severe punishment during the course of a race.

"If you are not 100% fit, there's no way you can think about driving one of these cars."

I live quite close to where the Manor 'HQ' is and I keep hearing rumours going around that Nelson Piquet Jnr is being lined up to drive for Manor. And then it's likely his team-mate shall be either someone who's come through the internal ranks, or someone with lots of experience. Mind you, Kubica and Heidfeld will need a team (now the BMW team are no longer)!

I'm really looking forward to seeing how Manor Motorsport do in their debut season, it's brilliant how Richard Branston has backed them, by moving from Brawn and landing Manor a bumper Virgin sponsorship deal, rather than staying with Brawn.

You only read about the Schumacher rumour today? :shocking:

Button has made a mistake in my opinion, one I hope he pays dearly for. I'd make McLaren favourites with Mercedes around to do them favours.

Raikkonen won't race in a car which can't challenge for the title so I don't expect him to drive in F1 next year.

I know, it's been a very hectic summer for the Formula One world. It's a shame Button has moved to McLaren, when you consider how much work Brawn (now Mercedes) had to put in and really he should've stayed with them and defended the title with the team he won it with.

It will be good to see Timo Glock driving for Manor, I'll be supporting them as they're the local team, if Manor could get Heidfeld that would be pretty awesome.

They change them all the time when i finally grasp it for that year.. makes it hard for the regular bloke to switch it on and follow. Drivers change, teams change, car regs change and rules never stay the same.. you have to read about it all the time or you're out of the loop.

It's gonna take a bit of getting used to but I like the new points scoring system. There's no benefit in settling for 2nd, 3rd etc in races. Should encourage more aggressive driving. Problem is if 1 driver is dominating races early on, the Championship could be close to being over half way through the season.

Berry
15-03-2010, 21:44
Anyone watch the race yesterday?

The new scoring system looks good, the no-refuelling isn't a bad idea however, as Schumi has mentioned, with all drivers on same fuel it makes overtaking virtually impossible... unless someone makes a huge mistake.

Looks like Ferrari now have a good car, Alonso drove very well and, with the car he now has, he's a major contender for the Title.

Sweey
15-03-2010, 21:48
Ferrari and Alonso were pre-season favourites so no surprise.

The lack of overtaking made for a boring race; I only kept it on as both Ferrari's were doing well and I was hoping Alonso would either catch Vettel or the latter would have a problem which is the way it all transpired anyway.

It's only the first race, but if we get more like this then there has to be changes. The mandatory 2 pit stops sounds interesting, Ecclestone still seems set on that short cuts idea. That would take me back to playing F1 on the PS1.

31-03-2010, 18:58
So anyone out there? :p

Aus GP was pretty good, Button got dead lucky with his tyres though, easily could of spun off and stuck in the gravel or something. But if you gamble big, you can win big, and Button did win big indeed.

Pretty happy with how Ferrari went, keeps us top of drivers and constructors (i think?). Schumi was below par stuck behind the Toro Rosso, but not expecting anything from him for a few races yet, was unlucky with his front wing then having to pit a couple of laps later for dry tyres.

Sepang should eb good, really looking forward to it.

Might be going to Singapore GP later this year if funds become avaiable :p

What a qualfying its been so far.

Button 17th, Alonso 19th, Hamilton 20th, Massa 22nd.

Vettel should be in with a good chance of pole + win here if his car stays together (I dont rate Webber at all)

Though I'm hoping Schumi can nick pole off him :p

And Q3 gets red flagged indefinitely

A hell of a lot of water just sitting on the track

The Ferrari team should be ashamed. I don't care if the McLaren cars are back there as well, its not good enough irrespective of weather conditions. Team strategy for qualifying should have been better - if Red Bull can manage it why can't we?

In this scenario, I want Schumacher rolling back the years - as tough as that is.

It was a shocker, I dont get why teams dont go out at the very start of the session just to get some laptimes under their belt incase of a extreme change of weather, like what has just happened.

Red Bull will probably retire half way through the race with some problem :ninja:

Hoping Schumi can get pole, would be great.

Vettel you planK!! Being aussie aside its fairly conclusive he didnt need to move to the right.

It was a stupid movement by Vettel. He was trying to squeeze his team-mate out but why should Webber move over for him? I'd have done what Webber did AND not expected for a second the other driver would be so stupid.

Well it's been forever since someone's posted in here (highlighted by the fact it was Sweey), but I assume the same regulars have been watching. As we're headed to the final weekend, thoughts on the season overall?

Even though there's still 4 contenders, I haven't been overly impressed or excited. Maybe partially due to Red Bull's ridiculous domination in qualifying. I can only remember 3 or 4 good races and that was down to the weather conditions.

I'm all for more cars on the track, but the 3 new teams have been a disaster in all aspects. Feel a bit sorry for Chandhok being replaced by Yamamoto then Klien as he didn't deserve it, nor have his substitutes been better in the slightest.

I hope to God that Alonso doesn't win the title. Would be a travesty.

Piss take. I have Sky but I watch a lot of the races in work where we only have terrestrial channels.

I thought Ecclestone wanted to keep the F1 on free to air T.V. but I guess money talks in the end.

I think there will be quite a large number feeling the same way Haribo but unfortunately that won't change anything. Six year deal too so you can bet that by the end of that, Sky will have made it their own and we can kiss goodbye to the rest of the races.

Wimbledon will probably be next, or hopefully Coronation Street.

A great win for Jenson and happy for Vettel - a more than worthy champion.

Kimi is a legend, lesser drivers would not have pushed and finished 2nd with under steering he issues he would of suffered from losing an aero piece on the front wing.
