Ferrari have been suspiciously quiet

All other teams have signed apparently.

Hammy wanting more time to prepare for the race.

When I re-sign the contract with McLaren they are going to be shocked at how many days they are not going to be able to make me do. I will be doing a lot less work. I definitely won’t be doing the whole period of time before the Silverstone Grand Prix, that’s for sure. I will have at least five days to prepare [for the race] in the future.”

Melt down?
Or more time to work with his engineers, simulator and other stuff. Without the business of doing constant media spots. They do seem to do a shed load, but then I guess we hear far more of it compared to other drivers.

Great, thanks.

That's the actual race finish, yeh? Not the commentary blurb?

It'll be 3pm latest, which is the two hour cut of mark, assuming no rain delays, which doesn't look likely at the moment.

He accepts that, it's the amount he does, that he doesn't like. How much mclaren do compared to others I don't know as media tends to only focus on him and button.

Light showers predicted throughout the day.

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 11:16

I don't see it like that, it's a firm statement close to contract time.
Why does every time he makes something clear he's a child, when Alonso or other top drivers do it. They're doing it for a reason.

No agreement Reached from the OTBD meeting. Started at 10:30am.

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 11:53

I just think rules are set at the start of a season and should be left alone. If it against the rules, then they shouldn't be allowed to enter the first race, everything else is fair game until the end of the season.

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 11:59

RBR have always lost pace and Ferrari have awesome starts. So I would say RBR have lost out and may struggle in the race.

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 12:10

Wahoo a normal time race, no flat mate around and no silly night shift. Can actually watch it down stairs on HD.

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 12:23

Was that a taxer in stirs hand.

Haha I was right yesterday it IS Ferrari protesting the rule changing back, what a bunch of masturbaters.

Why wouldn't they.

Fia is to blame for this mess. No one else.

Oh I thought it was going to be top gear esq, we killed him and cut scene.

What's also staggering is that the Brits on this forum seem happy for RBR to walk away with the title. Am I missing something here? Do you guys not want to see a championship battle or is there a German/Vettel lovefest that I was not informed about?

in situations like this I don't care about who's winning. It's a shamble, the rules should never off been changed mid season. As many of us have been saying for two months.

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 12:38

All done apparently :confused:

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 12:40

Why JB says half the track slicks half the track full wets and they've done no heave fuel runs.

What did I miss from Bernie, my dog was barking his head off trying to get my attention.

Said it's all sorted and all signed and that it's staying as is. Now MB jumped to Valencia set up, but I didn't read it that way and that he might possibly of means toe days set up.
