Alex, hope you didn't do the surfing in client time Interesting, but I always think the friday times are irrelevant and only a general indication of the individuals performance to come?

Oh did you see the quote attributed to Mansell today in the Standard, apparently he is "blasting F1 as a Mickey Mouse sport" not far wrong in my opinion. Where's the overtaking???????

Oh yes I remember now it all happens off camera ( in the pits) whilst the overseas tv director nauseatingly follows the home driver, for endless laps

Bring back the old school that's what I want, wheel to wheel stuff, where the lead changes at least once in a race.

Sorry rant almost over....... I've followed F1 since the mid 60's. It was only recently that I questioned why I continued to watch this largely processional sport. Take a look at Moto GP or Superbikes, thats how to entertain

Thanks for the times tho........ I'm ff now, got to go home to clean the car for the Jap show at Peterborough tomorrow.

A fair rule in my opinion, if any of the drivers get within one tenth of each other, they have to have a ten minute brawl to sort out their positions

I think Montoya, Coultard and Webber would be the class hard men

Mansell got involved in quite a few barnies, and Senna was always happy to punch someone .. aaah, the good old days

Top stuff. I love watching Kimi, Alonso and Montoya qualify. I'm on the edge of my seat each Saturday.

At first I thought that both the McLaren's were bottoming out on the final corner, but Alonso confirmed he had big oversteer there too.

Best statement in the press conference was Raikkonen's, when he said that drifting half way round the turn side-ways didn't slow him down, and actually sped him up! The guy is f*cking class.

Good to see it's not just me who generally enjoys qualifying more than the ing race!

Great quotes this week: -

Kimi's drifting (previously mentioned)
DC's saying b*llocks on air
Schumi's great race strategy giveaway - "Barrichello and I have the same plan, complete 67 laps" (tosser)

Oh, and a to Stoddart for his thoughts on changing qualifying even though it would seriously compromise his team. If only all in F1 were as down to earth as this chap.
