Re: Spa

Summer isn't a description I'd use for the last few months Tom but thanks anyway {:0). I can think of many a word beginning with "p" though to describe Hamiltons attitude! He really does appear to be above himself these days, what with tweeting McLarens details so that all and sundry can read them and having his TV conscious bird pulling appropriate faces as soon as she sees she's on the screen! They deserve each other, she's as much up herself as Lewis is right now.

As for the race, what a corker! Despite what might have been with Alonso, Hamilton, Grosjean and Perez all crashed out we still had a battle royal going on with Vettel, Kimi and at times Schumacher. It certainly was Sebs best performance for a long time and he does deserve his 2nd place in the standings. Great to see Jenson back on it. He really is virtually unbeatable once he has the car under him and it would have been good had Hamilton elected to match his set up - I think we would have been in for a treat to see them going head to head again. Perhaps Monza will give us that spectacle.

Hopefully a race ban will bring Grosjean to his senses - it's all there he just needs to calm it down a bit and remember Prost always use to say you can't win the race at the first corner. But the same can't be said for "The Thug". No matter what the FIA throw at him, Maldonado will never learn. And that's dangerous!!!

Hope everyone (or two) had a good summer.  Have to say that was one hell of a race weekend to get us back in to the season.  Jenson was peerless on Saturday and Sunday and Lewis was something else beginning with a 'p' all weekend.  Does anyone else think that he might benefit from taking a year off in 2013?   

The race was of course diminished by Grosjean's ludicrous move on Lewis (but why does the No 4 McLaren have an idiot magnet in it?) and as everyone saw we were very lucky not to have a serious injury to Fernando.  Agree with the one race ban but think Maldonado should have had the same, simply because he is a bloody lunatic.  After the dust settles and Jenson stretched his legs it looked for a while as if we would have a delightful little dice between Kimi and Michael, but neither had the car beneath them.  Nice move on Michael at eau Rouge by Kimi.  Seb drove one of the best races of his career, Mark was not quite on it and Hulkenberg showed what a talent he really is, although it was a pity Paul had KERS issues because he too could have been right up with his team mate.  Good to see Vergne and Ricciardo in close competition, perhaps it means that Vergne might almost be as good as he thinks he is, but the cars do now seem a lot better than at the beginning of the season.  Massa drove a solid race, perhaps showing us that Fernando might have been on the podium, but at least the championship is a little bit more open now.  Really looking forward to Monza.

Ditto to all of that. Mostly.

While it's probably a good idea to give Roman a slap generally the incident on Sun was almost 'one of those things'. If he had a cleaner lap one sheet he'd have gotten off a bit lighter, methinks.

Lewis is definitely crusty around the edges these days and his shiny appeal has all but vanished. A year off won't do him much good but a new team might.

I thought a new team for Lewis in 2013 was not possible but the Merc deal now looks a 50:50.  Or perhaps Bernie is just using EJ to stir things up a little.

I'd be amazed if Lewis went to Merc. They couldn't possibly give him a winning car.

Yeah, shame that. I'm somewhat fed up with LH right now.

[Trevor Jones]

A common feeling, methinks.
