    The introduction of traffic lights in F1

    Having read that Lewis Hamilton drove into the back of Kimi Raikkonen in the Canadian Grand Prix, I was a little surprised to see that the Finn was waiting at a red light at the time of the accident. When were traffic lights introduced into F1? What will be next, lollipop ladies on the straight, a zebra crossing near the chicane? Sounds like a very odd state of affairs to me.

    I think lewis hamilton got distracted when Hilary Clinton rang him up to say she was going to drop out of the race.
    Am I the only one who thinks they are dead ringers ?

        I can't see the likeness between Hilary Clinton and Lewis Hamilton myself.

            F1

            Pathetic. It's like putting traffic lights on a motorway.
            I think F1 is becoming so regulated (same type car/same engine sizes/same everything) and overburdened with red tape, it's like racing Scaletrix cars, less exciting, more and more boring to watch.

              It was a joke in very very poor taste - I just hope no-one saw it.

              It included the word "Plymouth" if you want a clue.

                Jasper Carrot said something like that - but suggested that controlling scaletrix cars would not be risky enough. So a "crash" would be accompanied by a whack round the head with a cricket bat!

                  Watch the motorbike racing instead. James Toseland came 6th in the MotoGP and Scott Redding came 6th in the 125's.

                  Didn't even make a mention on the news. Seemingly, Euro 2008 is more important than celebrating British success...
                  Older and ...well, just older!!

                    We all make the odd poor taster, sometimes our guile isn't what it oughta be
