"On purpose" to what end?

Tsk, Stu. I won't be sending you a Christmas card either.

Well, not Chandhok's by the end. That was nasty and could've been a lot nastier.

Assuming that's official, I'm kind of glad they've gone all out to replicate the first kit and I'm not too bothered if it's not to everyone's taste. Some half-assed compromise would have just been a waste of time.

As an interesting aside, Karun dragged Barrichello's steering wheel all the way round into the tunnel where it popped out from under his car and was then run over and pinged out by Bruno Senna in the other HRTF1 car. The rumour is that it is still in working condition!

In my opinion Alonso panicked when Schumacher came alonside him, booted it and lost the rear. It didn't look to be a case of Schumacher taking advantage of a miscontrolled Ferrari. The rule is unambiguous though. It says to me that if the last lap starts under the safety car then it ends with no overtaking.

I see dead people.

I should've typed that too.... etc.

You realise that "Work in criminal law" might just mean he's a criminal?

I almost typed that.

I always liked the Forest one when I was a kid.

Besides, more pressing is how come RB hasn't been penalised for throwing his steering wheel onto the racing line (to be scooped up by the Hispania) after he'd crashed. Surely that is absolutely dangerous and completely unambiguous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmgDGDLVUqo 15 seconds in.

This Schumacher thing is such a non-issue. The rule isn't even ambiguous IMO.

Looks great, GS. I don't think it needs cartoonising with green tree and blue water (as being suggested above) either.

Yeah, that's about the size of it.

I can get my Megane down to 9mpg if I'm really enjoying myself. Worth every penny though, and I'd never sacrifice enjoyment for economy. To add; It'll cruise down the A34 at 80mph returning nigh on 40 mpg.

RIP Ronnie.

Quite entertaining for Monaco. Shame about the start though.

Updates, updates, updates. We've been working so hard this year. Plus Rob loves Monaco, which helps a lot. Being a short and relatively slow track Monaco is a great equaliser but, nonetheless, there has been a hell of a lot of work, at the track and at the factory, put into the R30. I just hope Rob gets a good, clean start and Webber doesn't do anything daft at turn one. I think he's probably responsible for more missing front wings than any other front-runner this year.

I'm actually nervous about a race for the first time since Brazil 2006. The start counts for everything.

Petrol is gonna go through the f**king roof though.

At least VAT can be considered a fair tax. If you have more money, and ergo buy more stuff, then you pay more tax.

F**k 'em. Who cares?

There were shedloads in the massive wheelie bins behind SMS on Sunday.
