Shall probably attend.

I'm in. And this time it's serious

Saw VSPECR near Eastland about 30 mins ago

If they'd been told in advance they'd get a $100k fine do you think they'd have considered leaving Massa in front, even for a nanosecond? They'd have done the same thing in a heartbeat knowing they'd get off that lightly.

I think there's a difference between being told to hold position and being ordered to give up a race win that you have worked hard for. If you're in front you should be allowed to stay there, if you're good enough. They should be allowed to race, pure and simple. I can see some justification for being told to hold station though. As we've seen with RBR, teammates fighting for position is dangerous. Even if they don't collide, trying to pass someone puts strain on engines and yes, it uses more fuel. We know these teams run it pretty close to the bone these days (which is an argument to bring back refuelling IMO), so sometimes they genuinely do need to hold them back so they don't waste fuel fighting each other. In summary, being told to move over is a lot worse than being told to hold position, but neither should happen.

Also saw a black R32 at the kebab shop near Mitcham Coles

Black or dark purple R32 with blue wheels on a tow truck on the Maroondah hwy. Hope everything's ok.

Enlightening. Massa is NOT HAPPY about what happened tonight. Interesting point re: RBR - if preference goes to the one highest in the championship, what's going to happen now they're on equal points? I'm tipping it will be alphabetically by last name.

Have you also sat at Eau Rouge? I'd like to hear a comparison from someone who's seen both. I'm not denying Turn 8 is a great corner, but I stand by my claim that Eau Rogue is more spectacular to watch and a bigger challenge for the drivers.

I think he'd suffer 'radio failure'

Eau Rouge is all that and more. It's had some epic accidents and overtakes over the years. Compared to Eau Rouge, Turn 8 can suck it

PROBABLY?!?!?!?

Can I have your house?

When did Spa come into it?

Happy birthday Nando, here's a gift from your team.

I was distracted for a moment, what was the actual message?

That was fairly obvious. Wonder if the FIA will swallow that?

At tomes like this I wish F1 was more like Mario kart ...

Boredom factor rising ... approaching critical levels ...

Cmon webber, get 'em!

Oh dear God, EJ's talking again.

Yeah but the timing sucked. Put him right in the middle of a big pack. They didn't think it through, they should have done what mclaren did with button

Ooh, yes please! Nearly happened just then!

One of the fastest, just like Monza until they neutered that too.
