Aside from a lack of a challenge to Vettel up front, I thought it was a pretty good race. Fernando certainly deserves the "drive of the Day" award, but Seb's mistake free run also deserves mention, as does a good drive from Jenson. Nice to see the Stews finally catch on to that lunatic Perez. I think today's penalty was well deserved.

What he was trying to say here is not that oil exploration itself is a safe process, as you are right, it will always damage the environment to an extent. Instead, as we become more aware of environmental issues, we also develop technologies and techniques that allow us to treat the environment in a better fashion than we would have traditionally years ago. You can compare it to automobiles. They are by no means clean machines. They still harm the environment with their emissions, however, as technology has advanced, they have improved where the cars built nowadays are safer for the environment than cars from 10, 20, 30, etc. years back. I hope I cleared up andrew's statements regarding that.


With the most respect Mr S Pollack (a disrespectful username to Poles, not remotely justified by the user claiming to be Polish, if that is the case. Not everyone will find the humour or irony, if any in confrontation with a potentially hurtful and loaded expression), I think that argument is complete rubbish and is the side put out by the oil companies and their lobbyists.

The issue is not that fossil fuels are running out per se (although ofcourse there is a finite supply), Its more that the remaining quantity continues to be found in harder and harder places to get to with costly consequences. And dont kid yourself that technology is catching up with the ease of access, it is not. Which is why we have more and more spills and disasters as we are more offshore and much deeper etc etc than ever

This Greenpeace protest about the Arctic is typical. Who in their right mind would want to go after oil in an area of important environmental balance, that is already under serious threat from other man-greed made factors. The melting and receding of the ice caps is real enough. And we trust Shells 'latest' technology to explore and extract from areas already under threat, without adding to the problem? Come on give us a break

The oil companies are more interested in returning value and maintaining profits for shareholders, unfortunately, doing so means constant new fields, which means ultimately going into areas that are not as good as others. If they mess up they pay fines, but the environment suffers. Thats the way it works. If Greenpeace or anyone else do not point these things out, then the man on the street like Andrew will never know about it because of the expensive lobbying of the oil companies to push their own pov - which is not motivated by not harming the environment, but by extracting profits whilst trying not to harm the environment, and if they do, well, they pay a fine and move on.

Perez was already in front of Grosjean,and the place was already taken,he should just brake earlier and not try to follow (outbrake) Perez, from the outside. Even if Perez would give him more space, he wouldn't have make it to the corner anyway.
Perez did nothing wrong, and Grosjean has been proven to be, way more dangerous lunatic than Perez. :hehe:

ps Button drove like a champ

I agree about Perez. Grosjean has brakes on his car, he chose not to apply them and blamed Perez.
And Sam Michael after the race sided with Grosjean :banghead::banghead: great team support!! Whitmarsh did offer half hearted belated support., which I guess is something.
