anyone else noticed the bird coming very close to Senna's car in Q2?

If I was the BBC I'd rebel and edit in some FI on-boards into that qualy, I simply cannot believe FOM can be so petty as to punish a team for thinking of their personell before the interests of the sport, how juvenile.

Though I bet FOM will be as stingy offering FI on boards too so it might not be possible.

I hope Ben and David will be mentioning it for their showing of qualy later though

Knowing how petty the FIA are I expect Force India to get a blocking penalty for holding up webber on his final lap too, I mean if anything Webber got a good tow off them but you know how petty this sport can be sometimes eh?

It's blatantly obvious they're being ignored. Every other team was shown.

Anyway, lmao to Kimi & Michael's strategists.

I didn't hear anything about it, although i didn't have sound for most of Q1 and half of Q2.

TV coverage is purely an FOM deal, which would leave it at Bernie/CVCs feet. However it seems an awful big coincidence that FI were being covered fine yesterday, and only after todays rather heated meeting with Todt, they've disappeared off the map. I wonder if the FIA are pulling strings here. It's all a bit too obvious.

No way RBR will complain about the FI, it aided him not hinder him, Mark isn't the kind of character to complain about that either.

Tomorrow should be fun, I'm super chuffed for Ricciardo though.

Also, why does Webber sound German nowadays?

Well based on them being the center of everyone's attention but FOM at the moment, I doubt RBR would need to complain

There's apparently some speculation out there that Force India will start the race to avoid penalty but willl retire both cars well before the end.

If thats true & they have told Bernie/FIA of there plans it explains why they have not been shown on TV today.

You need to invest in some cotton buds!

Swapped places with Haussler for the weekend.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

I doubt RBR would need to complain. I suspect FIA will be looking at anything to make this weekend more difficult for Force India.

some major f*ck-ups today for Schumacher and Raikkonen.

I wonder how much the blame comes down to the team or down to the driver.

It's okay. Bernie just needs to wait for the money to run out, which will be quite soon.

According RTL Deutschland there was a little technical problem with the car, so they decided to stay in the pits with Schumacher.

I hope FI are in with a great result, if they are in a position which demands air time, and they don't get it, I can only hope the commentators rip them a new one along the way.

some chance of rain tomorrow

I think Force India can gamble to not use both set of tyres tomorrow. Nobody will see that.

Simon 'Fake Jake' Lazenby suggesting a conspiracy with the FI coverage, but throwing a jokey little wink into it.
