Q: (Dan Knutson - National Speed Sport News) Kimi, we saw you do a bit of a donut spin there coming back into the pits. What happened? KR: I lost it. (laughter) KR: No, I have always wanted to do one and here it is much easier so... And it was the second race engine, so it doesn't really matter if you make life harder for it.
"I would have taken all the points away from Hamilton and Alonso on the grounds that there is a suspicion they had an advantage that they should not have had," said Mosley.
"A significant majority on the council thought they should keep their points, about five - mostly lawyers - thought all the points should go.
"I'm slightly disappointed because when history comes to be written and all the emotions are gone they will say, 'Hang on a minute, we just don't know what happened and would Raikkonen or Massa have won had it not been for this information?'"
McLaren, which had been threatened with exclusion from this and next year's championships, were fined US$100 million and stripped of their constructors' points.
While that effectively handed the title to Ferrari, the drivers' contest was left untouched on the grounds that drivers had been assured they would not be punished if they cooperated and provided evidence.
"The lawyers all felt everything should go because how can you give the cup to a driver who may have had an unfair advantage over the other drivers," said Mosley.
"But on the other side of it we have a brilliant championship [battle] between Alonso and Hamilton, and the sporting people were saying 'If you interfere with that you are spoiling a very good championship. It wasn't the drivers' fault.'
"You could say it's not the drivers' fault but then it never is," he added.
"A driver can be disqualified because his car is a kilo underweight, it wouldn't make a difference but you have to have the principle.
"If you are outside the rules you are not in the game."
Use own discretion That's why I hate lawyers

"Since spring, the champion in charge defended himself about the espionage topic: "I can't say anything about it. I concentrate on driving". Thursday's hearing in Paris and the hardest punishment in the history of sport ($ 100 million fine, deduction of all constructor points) showed he is a CHEATER, as he was privy [to the espionage]"

testing the Tyre is one thing.. knowing the weight distribution of the car to the trye is another thing... Ferrari spend time/$$ to find out the weight distribution to suit the tyre, McLaren spend a few email to know about it.. so fair.. so easy..
ROFL! Ouch!

Change topic, what you guys think about Spyker B-spec car?
Last time we only saw them when they retired and enter pit garage or when Ferrari and Mclaren lapped them, but last GP, we saw sutil race with webber( correct me if im wrong.) Hope coming race or next year, they can challenge renault or williams
Looking good at Spa. Meaning their making progress. They might embarass the other teams next year...that's what Mike Gascoyne said in his interview.
Not everyone liked JPM...and I don't give a rats a** Me personnally thinks he's pretty good. Really excited when he joined McLaren from Williams. His achievements with Williams were impressive.
Ted Kravitz reckons an Alonso - Webber swap is possible for next year
While Ted Kravitz isn't the best F1 reporter (far from it) he does think that a Webber - Alonso swap is possible. I've read a few reports that reckon Webber hasnt actually signed for red bull next year, he has an offer and he is expected to sign soon. Kravitz has a point in saying that Mateschitz meeting with Alonso does carry some significance and with the Willis/Newey combination for next year RBR could be (a very outside) chance of producing a good car.
We've seen this year with Torro Rosso, Red Bull are willing to drop drivers rather quickly and if Alonso was on offer i'd image they'd be willing to pay out Webber or Coulthards contract.
As everyone prob knows, the whole driver market is frozen until we know where Alonso will be next year, much like how everyone was waiting for Raikkonen to sign for a team last year.
