Thanks mate .

[EwanM]

Take that Flavio.

[irons_4_ever]

I dont think im going to make practise 3 but might make quali.

Practise was a tad broing i thought was good seeing the ferrari spin

[cap-dude]

Briatore was going to hire Button, It's all coming out now.
Piquet is lucky to still have a seat.

I think Briatore needs to keep his mouth shut. It's not like his team has ever been accussed of cheating. The fact is, Renault are a poor showing right now and he's not one bit happy. So rather than looking at his own team, he's blaming everyone else. I bet even without those diffusers Renault would still be slower. They developed too much in 2008 when they clearly didn't need to.

"He also needs to remember that he tried to employ me for this year, so..."

I really would have loved Button at Renault. But only if Brawn hadn't survived.

Hey Flavio, where's Alonsos 6 tenths?



Apologies to Renault/Alonso fans but Flavio's out of order.

"He also needs to remember that he tried to employ me for this year, so..."

Never heard that before but maybe it's because I've been in hiding...

I did, but I go to some lengths to hunt out information on Jenson.

As many as 4 teams aside from the then-HONDA team were interested in Jenson's services for this year, Renault was the frontrunner of those 4.

Good thing he stayed put quite frankly

Hey Flavio, where's Alonsos 6 tenths?

Piquet has 'em.

Maybe you should make that into a banner for use at Silverstone, I can't see the stewards taking that down unlike the Mad Max Mosley one you made for last year.

Williams looking good again in Nico's hands, apparently somebody has posted on a Williams forum that Nico was told to back off a bit on his last run when he did purple first and second sectors, hence why he ended up .025 down on Button at the line. I don't know what's up with Nakajima and how he's suddenly managed to un-balance the FW31, but I have a feeling he's going to miss the cut for Q3 yet again.
