In that case it sounds as if Keith has had more than his share of bad luck. ;)

I tried to write a joke for each line but I think they were all probably too rude.
I had a particularly good one about a hovel and another about a pool, but in the end I preferred to split the difference. ;)

...I've finally reached a point in which anybody but Vettle winning the championship will make F1 2010 a treat (and worth the Fox coverage).
Quadruple treat today today: Summer break is over, SPEED carries the rest of the season, rain at SPA, AND most importantly, Vettle tried another stupid-assed pass which was doomed to failure before it was started. Unfortunately, he stayed in the race, but his victim was retired.

The question posed was "is Vettel too immature to drive F1"? I would suppose that this would be true with other races of the year, but I think that his accident with Jenson was just an accident.

I do think that he will mature as he keeps losing because of poor judgement.

He (Vettel) definitely needs to calm down. He makes too many mistakes under pressure. A terrific drive by LH, Button will not be happy and Mark will have a very long talk with his engineers about the anti stall settings.
Kubica is in great form and took it on the chin when asked about overshooting the pit box. A very interesting race.:thumbsup:

Once the power circuits (Monza is the next ) are done with, Red bull will be out of sight. I really love going to Monza in spite of how delapidated the area is so I might just summon up the effort. The sounds of the cars approaching and leaving Lesmo 1 and 2 echoing off the walls and trees has no equal.

I will put a fiver on Lews Hamilton winning the championship. Not that I don't wish Mark not to succeed, quite the opposite but I think he's driving for the wrong team, and will not get the 100% support he now needs to chase down the title.

Technically, I also think they have now lost their "advantage". It is patently obvious that they changed the front wing (whatever that greasy schnide Horner says) in order to pass the new tests and there are also redefined chassis tests to come in from Monza.

Button being a 'nice guy' will support Lewis probably without being asked, whilst Vettel would rather crash & burn than help Mark.

I also believe that Hamilton is now the best driver on the grid, bar none.

Any takers?

Bring it on.....:veryangry:

Edit: PS I've never 'won' anything in my life, so I'm probably wrong - again:)

Agree with Kieth
Hamilton is driving really, really well, then comes Webber. Vettle is the most talented, but his maturity level and decision making are way off the pace. I think he made a simple mistake, just misjudged the braking point and the road conditions - didnt think JB would be on the brakes as soon as he was and.....ahhhh! no traction....BOOM.

Simple as that (this time)
I am no Vettle fan, but still didnt think it warranted a drive through (stoopid)
Pretty much the same thing Barracello did to Alonzo.
Just misjudged the road conditions.

I agree on the drive through, although wasn't Lewis penalized for pretty much incidental contact at the start of a race a few years ago? Consistency would be nice.

I simply cannot believe the shot that Alonzo's car took from Rubens and he kept going with no damage!

Interesting, almost a carbon copy of Mark on Heikki and Sebastien on Mark a few races back albeit at a different speed. Boy! these RB's sure ain't taking any prisoners are they? Uncompromising driving for sure, but they do need to lighten up a bit if the WC is their goal.

Hi Keith,
Yes. I'll take it and raise you a score.
.............and then when I win we will drink it. Probably a D'abruzzo (Montepulciano) or a decent Barolo !!

C'mon Pete, I'm a poor man but we'll have a private flutter. Mark wins? You get a fiver (in AUD naturally) but if I win - you send me (purely based on net worth you understand)a fiver + my local Hampshire betting tax which is... a fiver.

Are we on?

C'mon mate, I've got a cricket match to fi...., er watch.. :)

You're on David. That's it folks, that's a months pay already for me :laugh:

So, worse case scenario I lose £30 but drink probably £50 worth (David doesn't screw around when it comes to wine) and the best case scenario is I win £30.

Hmm, there are still risks, I need to spread the risk but I no nuffink innit about gambling with money, only women.

But, I am on a winner here. My mum told me that gambling was evil and I should never get involved with it, but she followed it up by saying "If you get a certainty though son, put your shirt on it" :laugh:

It's a cert. Be happy to take your money boys... :)

Keith seeing as Hamilton is now leading the WDC I think I should get at least
2 to 1, however in the interest of sportsmanship. You are On. Five British pounds and you can pay me in pounds please not $AU.

According to Button, the Bus Stop chicane, where Vettel slammed into his McLaren, was "100 per cent bone dry" at the time of their collision. "I've never seen anything like it before," he lamented. Pressed to offer an explanation, Button's subsequent comments were withering.

"I think he got rattled and confused."

Ouch and double ouch. Vettel may have been treated leniently by the stewards but his reputation is taking a pounding.

"Sebastian is getting into a bad habit," observed the equally-scathing Martin Whitmarsh. "He is quite a crash kid. It was not what you would expect to see in Formula One. It was more reminiscent of junior formulae."

Scathing commentary and just supports what so many of us were saying yesterday; Vettel has melted into a puddle of red mist. He is so locked onto getting ahead of Webber in the WDC that he has become reckless around the track. He needs to find a way to pull it together, or else he'll be known as the next Montoya or Sato.

It's one bet I really don't mind losing to you Pete, but David's ? Never! Reason? I think he practices something called "insider betting" :laugh:
 
Just a quickie to say how much I LOVE the BBC coverage of the GP's this season. The start this week of The E Type run to The Ardennes was class. In fact Martin Brundle is IMHO a real heavyweight as a commentator, and it shows with the access to the drivers etc, although Johnathan Ledgeard does state the obvious somewhat...

And then after the race there is an hour or so of "Red Button" action, with loads of driver interviews etc etc...

I dunno if you guys in Oz, or over the pond can get the BBC coverage, but if you can, then do... Seeing Eddie Jordan whinging on is great telly :)

(Wow, did I really just do a commercial for the BBC :o )
