July 26, 200816 yr Do they $h!te. Santander never sponsored Alonso at Renault. Telefonica threw the strop when Alonso left Renault, McLaren obtained Santander because of Alonso moving there It looks like you are the one who has to eat "$hite". :lol: If you'd checked your facts you'd have known both Santander originally Banco Central Hispano (Banking) & Telefonica (Telecommunications) were both owned by the Franco Spanish Government until they were privatised (1991 & 1997) in the 1990s. The Spanish Government still owns a substantial minority share in both, to stop it falling out of Spanish hands. (At least they are not as stupid as Margaret Thatcher's UK Conservative Government in the 1980s then!). In short what you have said is like saying that News International (The Sun, The Times, News Of The World) & BSkyB (Sky Television & Digital) are two different companies when they are owned by the same person (Rupert Murdoch)
July 27, 200816 yr I'm not looking forward to Hungary, I think it'll be another Hamilton win :( Infact I can see him winning 5 more races this season but I hope I'm wrong... Go Felipe and Ferrari :D

July 27, 200816 yr I'm not looking forward to Hungary, I think it'll be another Hamilton win :( Infact I can see him winning 5 more races this season but I hope I'm wrong... Go Felipe and Ferrari :D Ferrari is very weak last two race, I think that Hamilton will be winner in championchip. Hungary is verry slow race, she have many slowly curve, what conforms to Hamilton and BMW. :D
July 28, 200816 yr Ferrari and Kimi have been doing a lot of work at the factory the last couple of days and Kimi is confident they have found the solution to the recent slowness of the Ferrari so hopefully these improvements will be apparent at Hungary

She and his team made same mistake like in German. Nick again last got out in race and happen this. Realy understand why hi always go out last. I know in race will be better, because Nick is maestro for overtakes.

August 3, 200816 yr Massa was really unlucky with his engine blowing 3 laps from the finish. Up until then he had driven a great race.
August 3, 200816 yr Gutted for Massa, that has almost certainly cost him the WDC and he didn't deserve such cruel misfortune God sure is a fully paid up member of the Lewis Hamilton fan club :(
August 3, 200816 yr FORMULA 1 ING MAGYAR NAGYDIJ 2008 Results: One word for BMW - catastrophe. This time Nick and Robert not guilty because of bad results, this time is guilty team BMW Sauber. Terrible race. Congrats to Heiki and Glock. I think BMW know that they've got third in the constructors and two top 6 Drivers finshes wrapped up and they're not going to improve. They've done the potentially sensible move by starting to concentrate on making a car for next year which will be closer to McLaren and Ferrari.
August 3, 200816 yr Awful for Massa he was doing so well and could have been leading the world championship. However glad Kimi caught up a little on that t*** Hamilton.
August 3, 200816 yr Author yay for kovy!!! shame he signed the extension and won't be back for us :cry: but luckily both Renaults finished again and Alonso beat w*n**rboy
August 3, 200816 yr I think McLaren just signed Kovalainen again because he is quick enough to get points but not quick enough to be a threat to Hamilton (like Alonso was!). Renault did well today. Do they have to have a 3 week break. I'll miss my F1 fix. At least when it does return at the end of the month it will be with a brand new race in a brand new track.

But in third part she have strategy full fuel and finsih in 8th. That is good. In race Nick make great job. Go Nick! :cheer:
August 23, 200816 yr what the hell happened to the Renaults??? Alonso was 4th yesterday!!!!! A little drop , and Alonso make mistake in curve after bridge.
