I can't stand that Helmut Marko Anyway i do think there should of been a 2nd safety car for removing Vettel's car of track, It did look dangerous with the cars flashing past the Marshals.

I cant too he's a Vettel person and immediatly blamed Webber for the Turkey disiaster when he did nothing wrong in the incident redbull management layed the blame mostly on Webber so I could be that Webber's disadvantaged at rbr btw the source was 2010 fia season review interesting that Webber didn't complain.But I think that there should have been a second safety car too.

Race fixing wouldn't surprise me in the least and inconsistent stewarding decisions are nothing new. Bit difficult to say anything with any certainty on this as both sides seem plausible. If it was in Italy I'd need no further convincing!

During the race, the commentators did note that it was odd that there was no safety car out to help protect the marshalls when they were moving Vettels car. Seriously, if someone told me to push a car on a track where other cars were flying past a decent speed where thay do pose a significant danger I'd advise them on no uncertain terms to go boil their head.

And this boys and girls is the difference between coasting with a dominant car and having to fight tooth and nail for every point.

Why not! Great Britain/England/Wales/Scotland/NI are crap at all of them!

Lol - COMPLETELY derailing my own thread: How come does England, Wales, Scotland and North Ireland compete as Great Britain during the Olympics and Formula 1, but in soccer they are allowed to qualify for the tournament with 4 different teams? It's an unfair advantage!

Historic and yes, no fair.

These accusations of fixing will do nothing for Seb or his reputation as a likeable guy.

I heard him in the post race interviews, saying that his technical issues were brought on by the safety car, as if accusing race control of causing his retirement. The problem lies with the bloody alternator and whoever was responsible for fitting it in the car, because nobody else retired as soon as the safety car pulled in (apart from Grosjean, of course, a good deal later).

I wonder if that w!nker Helmut Marko has endorsed this

Again and both Scarbs and Renault have backed up that Red Bull knew that the alternator was failing before the safety car came out. I won't call Marko an idiot (already got into trouble for that ) will simply agree that he is a w!nker

Glock is indeed a good driver and is going to waste at Marussia. I wouldn't be surprised if HRT and Marussia were absent next season.

You'd have to clarify which you mean is the unfair advantage. They way you've written it, you're saying that having four different teams is the unfair advantage which the complete opposite of the truth. The advantage would be in pooling resources and having the option to choose the best of all four nations in one team, so if - say it was a few years ago (because even though he's a bit older and actually is in the Olympic squad, he's obviously not as good as he was when he was 30) then Ryan Giggs, who is Welsh, would be able to have been picked by a GB football team, when he was consigned to play for Wales for his international career. Could you have imagined a GB team in the world cup with George Best in it? Or Kenny Dalglish?

It's a disadvantage to have four separate teams, not an advantage.

It's not purely historic either, it's related to professional football associations, and there is a different PFA in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

For athletics it's different. GB competes as one team in Olympic and World events (an advantage), but separately in Commonwealth events where they are competing against each other.

[stonemonkey]

Haha, the Scotland football team and unfair advantage made me lol.

[killem2]

Fixed eh? Like rainy Monaco in the 80s prost/senna fixed?

I dunno, seems a bit far fetched. I suppose everything can be corrupted, it is just a long list of people who have to be bribed/blackmailed/swindled before you even get to charlie.
