Another great piece of BBC journalism here. Just about spot on.

I suppose as long as Mad Max keeps to ruining F1 then he can't ruin sportscars like his predecessor.

Petition signed, hope it helps.

What kind of soap opera do you think the FIA can write for this weekend?

After watching practice today on itv.com, when did tracks become so sterile?? Modern F1 drivers are so pampered! There shouldn't be an option to cut a chicane or run wide in a corner, if you mess it up, there should be a big gravel trap or brick wall to eat you up - out the race and leaving you to explain to the team why your a cock!

Whatever happened to Motorsport is dangerous, don't get me wrong, I cried like a baby when Senna was killed but surely the danger element is being somewhat diluted. Surely our road-going vehicles benefit from better car safety not better track safety?

I think the reason teams battle for 1/10ths of seconds is because the penalty for over-stepping the mark is to simply run wide onto more tarmac not writing off a car, wheres the skill in that?

Being a modern car person, only now do I look back and think what men the likes of Hill, Moss, Stewart & the rest were!

Another piece of crazy judgement, Massa has gained a place after Sebastian Bourdais was penalised for colliding with the Ferrari while racing for position.

For the life of me its hard to see what Bourdais could have done to avoid hitting him short of stopping his car and getting out to wave him thru.

You're either at Le Mans, or waiting for Le Mans!

I was under the impression that cars exiting the pits were not allowed to cross the white line which marks the pitlane exit. If that is the case then surely a car already on the racetrack,as Massa was, is not allowed to cross the line the other way as it would put that car in the pitlane exit.

Another case of the FIA favouring Ferrari methinks.
