The start was heavy but its going back into the slightly boreing lane now. still some things hapening but not much. The iceman is out again and probo eatind an icecream.
Now had Lewis forced Alonso over like Webber did he would have been slated 
, was a good move by Webber vital for his 3rd place.
Also the BBC team need to look up the stuff about the RBR car, they dont have the front wing that moves and thats why they can not follow as close as cars that have it.
Kimi was looking very good until the car broke.
Webber at the end was funny saying the F word then saw the video was on him

Ferrari are threatening to quit F1, because of the new budget capping scheme.

This isn't sore loserness, most of the big teams are backing them up (yes, even McLaren)....
Ferrari WANT Formula 1 to be like it was in the past, they don't want politics, they want racing. It's not Le Mans, it's F1.
Luca has also suggested a Ferrari Championship, where any company could come in and build the best possible car they can (within some limimations such as size and weight), like in the early years of F1. I for one would love to see that!

Ferrari have said all this years ago and never quit, they even went as far as building and Indy Car for the USA.
I dont think they will quit but things do need to be sorted out, I am sure they could get a gun man to wipe out Max for free
Neal we had a Ferrari run championship for years :lol:

This budget thing will never work. Firstly, what's stopping for example, Force India and Toro Rosso from compliance with the cap, complete loads of testing and feed some of the results back to Mercedes and Ferrari, who will eventually pass it on to the Mclaren and Ferrari works team?
But there's no need to be so underhanded, how do you split marketing and hospitality costs. For example, the huge "brand centres" that were in the pre-show apparently cost over £40m a year to run, all hospitality, or at least that's what they'd say, but what's stopping them fudging exactly how the suite is used, and how design staff back at the HQs are used. Toyota could easily reassign internal engineers and just no say anything.
I don't oppose the principal of a bidget cap, but I think it's too much, too soon. I also don't like the idea of a voluntary budget cap. I'd be much happier if it was an all or nothing scheme.

Out of the rumours I have heard of "new" teams is that LOLA are interested in making a comeback. Lotus may have a pop at it. F1 USA are registerd for 2010 and afew more unnamed companys/makes are looking into it.
The Ferrari thing dose seem a bit odd but then again who knows if they will leave or not as its never clear.

See this is where the BBC got it wrong, the budget cap is for the cars only. It does not cover wages and its does not cover the hospitality.
But more people will be unemployed if they do a budget gap, a number of people have already lost their jobs this year.
If Brawn can build a winning car for less than £40 million the rest should be able to. They had what 4 days testing all winter, the rest done weeks and weeks of it. Ferrari, BMW and Mclaren done the most testing over the winter and look where they all are.
Money is being wasted in F1, like on KERS and the constant rule changes.

Just pick on him Neal they were all doing that on Thursday as well.
Massa was one of the worst ones for it.
Its practice in Monaco its normal, counts for nothing really. In quali they would get a penalty for it.
And if Kimi, Massa and Lewis dont stop cutting that chicane they will all get a penalty.
