Hate all the politics associated with it - so many sore losers and whiners that it really turns me off from the sport. Still an enjoyable race though today.

I read that were the reasons why Rossi (after test driving a ferrari f1 car) said he wouldn't want to get invovled in F1, too serious and no fun. Think he said WRC is more akin to his lifestyle.

Had the race on tape and watched it last night. This season is at least becoming a great counterpoint to Bernie's 'medal' idea that's getting shoved down our throats next year. At this rate, based on next year's system, JB will have wrapped the title up by Silverstone.

Another solid win by Jenson. Well done.

Ferrari and Toyota threatening to pull out if budget cuts come in next year.
If that happens, it'll be a sad day.
Not liking the direction the acid midget is taking his Formula One monopoly.
Time for a conflicting race series ?

I meant this year, Streak. We were close to having next year's points system this year, if you remember back to the beginning of the season.

No way will Ferrari pull out of F1. Toyota, maybe, but not the Scuderia. Enzo would roll over in his grave.

This is typical posturing by Max with the expected response by the teams.

Don't underestimate his (and Bernie's) desire to break up the FOTA relationship. He knows there's no way the big teams will go for a two-tiered system, and he knows the small teams (eg Williams) would be more than happy to have a budget cap. This could potentially cause some infighting.

I don't see why there's the strong desire now to have a bunch more new teams in F1. It wasn't so long ago we had an overfull grid, with such luminaries as Larousse, Zakspeed, Lola etc...and it was all a bit crap.

Is Williams a small team ?
I thought they had quite a hefty budget.

Yes, Williams is a small Team now. In the early years they where much bigger with more succes and money. I've read that Bernie gave them an advance at the beginning of 2009. Without that money the would not be able to start the session.
