A few years ago when they changed the points system in F1 to reward consistency (to try to depose schumey) I thought it would end in a mess. Now we have a situation where a driver who won 4 races could be world champion over someone who won 6. All subject to scoring a ridiculous 4 points for coming a default 5th. Forget the ITV hype Raikonnen is clearly the best f1 driver.

How they messed up F1
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

Gotta say I found myself hoping Hamilton wouldn't win on Sunday after a few laps of the absolute verbal wanking the commentators were doing over Hamilton - not his fault and he seems like a decent bloke, but ffs try to have some sort of impartiality - it was as biased, and bad a job of commentating I think I've ever heard.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

They were so convinced Hamilton was going to win they hadn't even worked out the other possibilities. Even Mark Blundel had to admit at one point Raikonnen was the fastest driver in F1, although he was soon shut up to wax further about Lewis.
Hamilton is very talented but all this "best ever Rookie" bollocks is misleading. Few rookies go straight into the best car, it's happened once in recent history with Jacques Villeneuve in the Williams. He finished second that year, and also won 4 races, but under the current consistency based system would have probably won it.Last edited by Bagpuss; 22 October 2007, 14:18.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Nice to see that Alonso has already chipped in with his thoughts on the appeal:
Originally posted by Fernando AlonsoI'm not sure what Lewis would think - I guess if they give you the title, you don't think it's a present but rather that you deserve it. He would be delighted...Raikkonen is the deserved champion.Comment

There was a time when 20 white guy chasing a black guy was classed as racism - Now it's called Formula 1Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment
