Jake is hilarious, he came to one of our end of season parties and got pretty smashed. Have to agree though, he was clueless in regards to F1.

Yep, but he knew that, so didn't ask retarded questions or try and sound like he knew what he was on about. He presented well and worked with the pro's around him. Georgie just chats rubbish and talks over those around her, particularly Ted in the F1 show.

He came to the campsite I was at on the Saturday night at Spa and he is a genuinely brilliant guy and great presenter and personality. He clearly loves what he does.

Hopefully he loves F1 enough to want to join the Sky bandwagon next year...
 
Wow, if you want to appreciate how good the HD is on SSF1, watch some stuff on Motors TV and then flick over! Sharp image is sharp!

I feel Jake wants to be a BBC guy though to be honest and do the whole Olympics, World Cup, Euros plus a few other odds and ends in addition to the F1 (he was at the Jubilee last weekend).

If he moved to Sky he'll just be the F1 guy. Doing it on the BBC is a much higher profile job really. Not sure he'd want to be 'the guy who just presents F1' he'd rather be an all round TV presenter.

Personally think he does a top job on the F1, yes he's probably not the oracle on all things motor racing but like you say he's never pretended to be such and he's got DC and Eddie for that his job is the anchorman which he does really well.
 
If you look at Ted's analysis of the 'holes' you can see why its so complicated, especially when you look at what Sauber are doing.

Martin made a key point. Its for the stewards of an event to define the legallity of a car at that event. The RBRs were deemed legal, nobody protested it, so the results remain. Any further regulation changes do not get retrospectively applied.

That said, the FIA have done it before. Hamiltons win at Spa in 2008 was taken away after they retrospectively applied a rule that was clarified after the event. So they aren't helping themselves in the eyes of the fans.

But the RBR decision makes sense when you understand how the rules are applied and how 'legality' is defined at each event.

Yep, definitely looks like Ferrari have turned things around.

If Alonso can lead the championship with a poor car, just imagine what he can do with a good car? The others need to watch out.

Ello everyone. :)

Hope Lewis gets a break today, I wouldn't mind MSC getting pole either.

Anyone but my usual disliked two and i'm happy.

Hope everyone survived the weather the last few days :)
 
A 1 stop? Have they resurfaced this track recently? If not whats changed it from a 4 stop tyre muncher in 2010 (with harder tyres) to an easy 1 stop this year?
