And back to Lewis for the conclusion of the "lie'....
Linky..
"?I?m not a liar. I?m not a dishonest person.
?I?m a team player, and every time I?ve been informed to do something, I?ve done it.
?This time I?ve realised that it was a huge mistake, and I?m learning from it."
I am sure the actual truth is, Lewis got caught this time and the next he will learn to shut up, go to the team as soon as the race is over, get instructions on what lies Mclaren want to release to the press and as a team player when informed and does it,... LIE WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT OUT. !! ahahahahaha
Frankly Lewis just got caught out for what he really is and I just wonder how many more "I dont lie" has been done in the past. Didn't he have some excuse for driving dangerously behind the safety car in the rain before? YES lewis, we know, you don't do lies.
cheers
ps: sorry guys, opportunities like this don't come too often so I am compelled to have my laugh.

Following on from what pigapumbu wrote above, I find that Formula 1 has simply become more complex -- for right and wrong reasons -- and in turn the viewing experience has also become more complex. If you simply try to follow F1 by tuning in once a week to watch the race, its just bland. If however you follow the developments, pre-sessions, qualifying, off screen developments/politics, you get the full picture and it becomes a lot more interesting. Its just a shame that all these changes / politics / rules have a tendancy of make a lot of the races pretty bland compared to the close side by side racing you get in WTCC or Porsche Cup... not to mention Super Bikes etc. As pigapumbu wrote above, the conflict between TV rights and FIA will continue to work against one another time and time again.

So what do you guys think about the qualies? What happened to the mercs and ferraris?
Oh man i hope FIA does somthing quick enough to settle once and for all the diffuser issue. If the other teams would somehow know that FIA will reject their contestations then i bet they would jump on the diffuser and work as fast as possible. FIA made an interpretative regulation they should be the ones to fix it. ONE WAY OR THE OTHER!
What has F1 come to? Second hand teams leading the factory teams, teams with just one sponsor (Brawn) literally making the rules in the sport.... I am very disappointed.

Massa didn't even make it to Q2 and is 16th on the grid. Kimi is 9th - probably the best Ferrari can do just now.........disappointing

This is actually the best thing that has happened to F1 in years. Fans of F1 owe a huge debt to Brawn as he's shown what can be done on a figurative shoestring if you're smart about it. McLaren and Ferrari always threw dollars at these issues, Brawn devotes brains. Anyway, Ferrari and McLaren being (relatively speaking of course) 2nd tier teams at this point guarantees some excellent racing as the season progresses. You shouldn't be disappointed, you should be delighted! But Mr Brawn deserves an enormous amount of credit. My prediction is that his diffuser will be found to be absolutely legal - because he consulted the FIA technical board as it was being developed. Others just didn't think outside the box, and they have been outsmarted by one of the sharpest guys in the business.
Why not tell the complainants from the get go, look guys we have been already asked by Brawn and the other teams about this issue and we agreed to it because of this and that. Surely they were able to explain the reasons of acceptance SINCE THEY ALREADY ACCEPTED IT IN PRINCIPLE! And then if the issue was so clear on what really grounded facts would the complainants make their contestation? Clearly to make a proper and serious contestation at any level in any circumstance you have to do it based on one or more attack points!
