What does it take to get a ban in F1? Igor is a liability and a danger to every other driver on the circuit

Stopping on track eh... would be an interesting sign of bias if he weren't disqualified for that eh

You don't have to make it back to the pits after the race, there is no rule for that. There's only a rule, in the technical rule book of all places rather than the sporting rule book, saying that the car must make it back after qualifying. So if you fail to make it back after qualifying your car is in breach of the technical rules and is therefore disqualified, but after the race there is no rule at all. Welcome to the crazy world of the FIA.

Forza Ferrari and Alonso!

Hamiltons race ruined by that shocking pitsop. Again.

Props to Alonso though, he just never gives up! Love watching him race.

[LHamilton]

Maldonado should get a massive penalty for that.

[Teechnical]

Any picture of the podium anybody?

[Mr Alcatraz]

Hail Caesar

If your hero Schumacher didn't get banned, why would Maldonado?

You know you can just push the +1 button on the post, right?

...Alonso might work some of his magic again and with some luck he might even win...

That's overoptimistic, don't you think? Didn't the Lotus have better pace on the longer runs?

overly optimistic huh??

WELL DONE FERNANDO!!

Great call Z!!

Definitely was a bad Quali yesterday because the F2012 is quick!! Top car for sure. Now must improve more for Silverstone. =D>

So cool to see an F1 driver act like a human by stopping to celebrate with the fans and marshalls. I'm sure the FIA will fine Alonso or reprimand him with some crap but this is what the sport is missing, drivers celebrating with the fans that make F1 possible especially in a home race...Now just need some doughnuts!

[GrizzleBoy]

Can anyone actually count how many times McLaren have given Alonso race position in the pits this season?

They did it in China.

They did it in Monaco.

They did it in Canada.

They did it in Valencia.

Any more?

[Onch]

...Fact.

Not a big Alonso fan, but you have to admit he is the best out there at the moment.
He's got half a dog of a car, yet he pushes when he needs to, waits when he needs to, never makes any mistake (except maybe in Canada when he kept the tyres for too long, but that was arguably not entirely his fault), and with 2 wins is now leading the championship. =D>

Hamilton has unfortunately proven (once again?) that he cannot give up when he should...

That's all, thanks for reading.

The thing is it didn't work for me.
