Now it's been postponed till tomorrow, they need to discuss what will happen if that doesn't go ahead. There's regs that says in car number order, others that say championship order...

They should do it in the order they finished the last race or championship order imo. Would be funny if it gets rained off and with Korea a doubt we would only have two races left :D

So how many of his 91 wins did he win by cheating, FrankJH? I mean, you say "usually", so presumably you mean that at the very least more than half of those wins involved him cheating?

If you could give me specifics for 46 wins where he cheated, that'd be great. That's just over half of his current tally, after all.

Well if you added up the races with dodgy refuel filters, dodgy benetton software that we didn't use honest guv and years and years of traction control in one form or another with ECU workaround you would probably get to 46 easily ;)

It's that standard ECU thats screwing him right now :p
 
So annoying to get up for 5am to then find them not going out on the track :p Even worse with the timing of the qually tomorrow morning. Think I'll record the qually and watch it before the race.

And you can just as easily level accusations of cheating at Alonso for driving various Renaults to race wins with a form of launch control when that was banned from '04, or at the RBR drivers for winning races with flexi-wings. The TC workaround that Ferrari are accused of employing in the past is pretty murky - probably on exactly the same level as Renault's launch-control-that-wasn't-launch-control-but-sort-of-was.

The Benetton stuff from 1994 - well, that's what you get if you have Flavio running a team. So I'll be generous for your point and give you those 8 wins as the product of cheating. 1995, I don't recall him or the team doing much in the way of cheating. Then the Ferrari years start - presumably you don't think they ran with TC in '96 since the F310 was pretty much a complete dog. '97, it certainly didn't have TC at Monaco (watch him nail it out of Anthony Noghes, and try and tell me that car has traction control....) and I don't recall it being a particularly well-planted car all year either. '98....dunno, so I might give you those six. '99, another two. 2000, that's another 9. And then in '01 Schumacher won 2 races before TC was re-allowed from Spain onwards. So that's 19 wins where he might, and I stress *might*, have been using a form of TC plus another 8 wins during the '94 season where Benetton were sailing a bit close to the wind with the rulebook.

Last time I checked, 27 wasn't in fact 46. And that 27 figure is undoubtedly massively inflated.

LOL.

Maybe.

MSc's major problem is that he is passed his best. He was past his best in 2006, when Alonso beat him and effectively he passed the torch of top dog over to Alonso in that year. He also quit as he realised that he had reached a point where unless he has a car advantage, he won't be able to walk over the competition.

He then took 3 years out (declining even further) and the result you are now seeing is a driver who is struggling to contain his team-mate...something which he has never had trouble with during his entire F1 career.
 
hmm, no work until 12, a few strong coffees and i should be able to stay up and watch it

gutted about hamiltons grid drop though:mad:
 
Ah yeah thanks - tis on the official BBC1 schedule on the website too. At least I know what to set the box for now :)

Will actually be quite cool watching qually and then not having the downer of having to wait a day for the race :)
 
I guess he will qualify 8th or 9th then finish around 4th (if he finishes at all :)). Probably won't be able to catch the 2 Red Bulls and Alonso as they speed away while he passes the others.
 
Awesome. Just awesome :D So at best Hammy can hope for 8th I reckon in qualifying. He will feel dejected for being down the grid... and hopefully... this will translate into whacking his rear right against Massa through the esses to make the full set :D

(But seriously that is crappy luck - but then most drivers can complain the same this year - just Hamiltons turn now).
