BBC highlights starting on BBC2 in a couple minutes. Perhaps they'll cover this.

since McLarens latest attempt to ruin his race by leaving a wheel too close to his car..

[What's Burning?]

Time to rethink KERS?

Shhh... or Bernie will be talking about nuclear powered cars in Monaco I'm sure.

since McLarens latest attempt to ruin his race by leaving a wheel too close to his car..

He didn't say anything wrong there, McLaren have become a joke. The commentators on Star Sports cheered when Lewis made his 2nd pitstop with no issues. Simply embarrassing.

How can something be so sad and yet so funny at the same time?

Nothing wrong?? McLaren ATTEMPTING to ruin his race? WTF?!?!?!?!

Have people all gone nuts here?

Why aren't Red Bull called up for ATTEMPTING to ruin their drivers' races by having to change wings at every stop???? WELL???

It's hard to tell what's sarcastic and what's just frigging dumb sometimes round here.

[Hammer278]

Err..yeah, that was sarcasm. You could be forgiven though, text is sometimes hard to judge.

Thanks for letting me off.

I'm still fuming after another certain victory went west. I'm glad none of McLaren's main rivals profited though. Great to see Williams win.

Amidst all the madness of today i forgot about this:

Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel were confused as to why they needed to have their front wings replaced during the Spanish Grand Prix.

Both Red Bull Racing drivers had their races compromised by front wing changes, despite their being no visible sign of damage on either occasion.

The mysterious problem was particularly costly for Webber, with the Australian eventually finishing outside the points in 11th.

Vettel was still able to finish sixth and retain his lead in the championship, albeit now shared with Fernando Alonso.

"I don't know [what the problem was], to be honest," said Vettel. "I didn't think I had any damage on the nose.

"I came on the radio and said it felt like damage or something stuck. We know that there is a lot of rubber on the track and it's likely that maybe a big piece of rubber gets stuck and then it ruins the aerodynamics.

"I wasn't sure and I tried another lap, but it wasn't the right thing to do so we decided to come in and change the nose just to make sure. That cost us quite some time but ultimately it was the right thing because I was told that something on the front left of the wing was actually broken. I don't know why. I didn't hit anybody or anything."

Webber, meanwhile, blamed the delay for leaving him stuck in traffic and unable to fight for a point-paying position.

"I don't know where I got damage on my front wing but I had to pit for a new nose," Webber added.

"I lost a lot of time with that obviously, not only that lap but the two or three before when it started playing up.

"Then when you're out of position round here, you have to do the longest range stop possible and look after your tyres, and then when you catch people, the tyres just get killed. It's chicken and egg. If you push past them, you've got to pit earlier and commit to another stop.

"I was out of position because of whatever happened with the nose. I was stuck behind the Force India and you could see the McLarens doing nothing, Seb was just chipping away doing nothing special. It's amazing. The tables have turned."

Yeah... that was random.

[LewEngBridewell]

Looks like RBR are trying to sabotage their drivers' races. Red Bull is broken. The end of the world is nigh.

It's all Whitmarsh's fault. Hang him by the goolies from the Eiffel Tower!

Oh wait..........

Ever text "Me love you long time!" and after you press send realize you're still texting with your boss? Oops...back to F1 conversation.
