F1 2009

Alonso told the BBC that what was left of the old F1 would be inferior.

"Formula 1 is finished. It will be a standard engine, small teams and no drivers - this is not the Formula 1 people want," the Spaniard said.

"The new series will be the new Formula 1."

We already have a championship where the cars are the same...A1 GP

The fans love the sport as it is and dont want a budget cap...The past 2 seasons have been so exciting and its great to watch the big names fighting with the best technoogy can offer...DONT RESTRICT PROGRESS

Oh dear, I've just stumbled across this thread. I know it's a bit late in the season and things have changed somewhat, but I voted anyway. I wanted to split the vote half to Jensen and half to Sebastian, but I think Jensen will do it.

I just hope the next race is a little bit more exciting than Silverstone was on Sunday. Got the ironing board out...

TS: We certainly don't want F1 to mirror A1 GP, otherwise I'll be ironing Mr.VS's underwear just to relieve the boredom - not sure where he wants the creases in his Y-fronts.

It will be an interesting poll next year

Which team will win the 2010 F1

Williams
Force India
USF1
Manor
Campos
Dick Dastardly and Muttley in the Mean Machine 00
The Slag Brothers in the Bouldermobile 1
The Gruesome Twosome in the Creepy Coupe 2
Professor Pat Pending in the Convert-a-Car 3
Red Max in the Crimson Haybailer 4
Penelope Pitstop in the Compact Pussycat 5
Sergeant Blast and Private Meekly in the Army Surplus Special 6
The Ant Hill Mob in the Bulletproof Bomb 7 (Chug-a-boom) (the Roaring Plenty)

As an F-1 fan since the late eighties I'm glad to see the recent stupidity resolved - at least for now.

WRT Mr. Mosely - over the years he has actually done a reasonable job but with last years 'nazi orgy' fiasco and his recent 'rulings' it's time to move on.

My only concern is that there might be a backroom takeover by Ferrari!

Anyway - let's get on with a season that is turning into a real cracker - with hopefully more teams on the grid next year.

Great to see Webber win his first Grand Prix

The Red Bull cars look like they have 'Wings' now

He certainly let rip over the pit radio, when he crossed the line.

Barrichello's car failure put Ferrari's Massa in hospital

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsp ... 168855.stm

Methinks, a very lucky man to survive.

There was quite a nice comment from Alex Yung (a rarity in itself) that you never tell the medics that you lost consciousness. If you do, you have to rest for 2 weeks and can't race.

I can just imagine Massa saying 'No problem. I knew exactly what was happening when I careered into the tyres. Honest! I was fully conscious and just decided to park the car quickly'.

Steve Slater was milking the drama. Coming up with a whole bunch of possibilities as to why Massa crashed, bringing in the death of Henry Surtees and generally being a complete idiot. Why, oh why, does Star continue to employ such tw*t?

Great day of motorsport tomorrow. Don't forget to watch MotoGP at Donnington.

HMmmmmmm - Fractured skull. Maybe he wasn't as lucky as first thought.

I think he'll be taking a bit more than the mandatory 2 week rest now.

Seems that he now has suffered damage to his left eye.

If it is serious, it could well be the end of his racing days.

Post by **Big Boy** » Wed Jul 29, 2009 2:02 am

I must say, that is one injury that I find hard to understand. Gordon Banks baffled me as well.

OK, if you try to do things with one eye closed, it is strange, but it is a condition I would have thought your brain would adjust to - eventually. I know that I must be wrong, but as I said - it baffles me.

Dear oh dear how will he survive without his multi million pound contract every year?

He's young, handsome, has millions in the bank, a beautiful wife and a bucketful of mansions.

I worry for his future I really do...

Gordon didn't have to track a ball at 180mph. If you cannot see out of your left eye because of a blind spot, you are finished in motor racing.

Sad if that is the case.
