The crowd are booing him a little I don't agree with that at all. Sure cheer Alonso and Ferrari but don't be disrespectful to the others. Fernando gives a little bow to his people .

Great racing between Schumacher and the McLarens was a good race shame there wasn't another lap to see Di Resta and Senna and Alonso and Hamilton battle it out oh well Fans booing Vettel is a bit pathetic I'll agree for Di Resta and Senna but I'm happy Lewis didn't get the podium which he probably would have in one more lap.

Enjoyed the race.
Happy Bruno got his point. Shame they were lapped though.
Strange race for Hamilton but happy that Button is getting ahead of him.

I agree with EJ for a change, I think the rookies these years have been really good! Not sure I'd put Paul in front but it is a difficult one.

Rookies have been pretty good this year, Maldonado took a couple of races to get up to speed but he's now beating Rubens. Hard to pick the best rookie thou, been about equal

Agreed, I think you have to give and take a little bit because of the cars, but overall they have been doing really well. I am once again behind I am making my dinner so spent the last 10 minutes making chicken taste nice .

Interesting interview with Jaime about his time in F1. He talks really well about these things and it is very interesting to hear how he's developed over the years.
Funny. Mark asked Jaime if he could have his bottle of water, Jaime says no and suddenly there is 3 or 4 bottles of water thrown at the BBC.

Liuzzi gets five-place grid penalty for the Singapore Grand Prix By Pablo Elizalde Sunday, September 11th 2011, 15:08 GMT
Tonio Liuzzi will lose five places on the grid for the Singapore Grand Prix following his accident at the start of the Monza race.
The HRT driver lost control of his car under braking for the first corner, going onto the grass and hitting the cars going through the chicane at the time when he rejoined the track.
Liuzzi, as well as Nico Rosberg and Vitaly Petrov retired on the spot, with other drivers like Sebastien Buemi or Rubens Barrichello damaging their cars.
The stewards decided after the race to impose a five-place grid penalty for Liuzzi for the next race.
The Italian had started from last position at Monza

That is not penalty enough. Liuzzi is always going to be last or near enough last. I know its difficult because that is what the rules are but there needs to be something else as it isn't really a punishment!
Yes I know I'm very far behind on the forum but apparently it is a December deadline for Force India to name their drivers.

Is Eddie Jordan an idiot? The fans booed Sebi, they haven't adopted him at all they were quite rude. Eddie needs a hearing aid. He was standing right next to the bloody crowd!

Have been out all day and havent been able to get online so missed most of the chat But it was a good race. A little too easy for Vettel maybe, but whilst most people moan about the Hamilton/Schumi incidents, it was nice to see some good, hard wheel to wheel racing.... after all, isnt that what us F1 fans want to see? Good to see Paul Di Resta picking up some solid points too

Yep agreed, I saw nothing wrong with how Schumi defended. Sad that the final overtake was so simple, but it was a great bit of racing.

Schumis defending was fantastic. Bit disappointed by the race didn't get why the commentators were calling it exciting. Was the Massa interview on the programme or the post race forum, I had to turn off as soon as the race was over.
Liuzzi gets a 5 place grid penalty dropping him from 24th to erm 24th, thats a great punishment... They would have been better off fining him - he would then have felt he had been given a penalty.

Luizzi's penalty was stupid. Basically he can get away with anything, because he cant drop grid places, or anything.... even if they gave him a 50 lap head START he would still finish last
