OH NO! Let's investigate the dude who didn't lift his foot for a millisecond and ignore the 4 tyre blowouts which almost killed a driver today.
A) it's clearly not being ignored
B) drama queen much?

It was an underwhelming race for Toro Rosso, and bitterly disappointing as well with Vettel retiring as well. What was with the crowd cheering Vettel's retirement??? (I was cheering when Hamilton's tire exploded).

I still think STR are on a good run, so I'm expecting a few more mid-points finishes throughout the course of the year.

The white line denotes the edge of the track. Running over teh kerbs exceeds the confines of the track. Laugh all you like but it is ture.

Erm, no.
It is only true to an extent. Cars are only deemed to have exceeded the track limits when all four wheels are over the white lines. So two wheels on each side of the line (i.e. two wheels on the kerbs) is perfectly legal and indeed normal for almost 100% of motor racing series. To try to argue that cars should not touch the kerbs is, to be frank (and not Allan :D ), ridiculous in the extreme.

It's almost as bad as the sporting crowd at Silverstone booing Vettel when he retired. :wink:

You're not on the BBC sports pages are you? The comments section there is wild territory and quite disturbing at times.

Well it's not ridiculous but thank you for taking the time to respond like an adult rather than write a childish snide comment in your signature. :)

Put it this way, at street circuits, the white line is either a wall or a barrier.

^ Hey come on man....I genuinely believe laughter is the best medicine, and since I'm still down with a flu right now, I made it my sig till I recover. It will dissapear by next week, no fret. :D
