Turkish GP Race Results

Good race and good 1-2 for Ferrari. They are going to win it! Unlucky Kubica! Bad stratergy.

[bayrider]

Kubica should have finished higher. I don't know why they pitted him so early. Something like 13 laps in?

[sundayx Veteran]

I hate Massa, I hate the fact that he wins.

[Kureb]

I hate Massa, I hate the fact that he wins.

I think he is the best of the 4.

If he hadnt all the car and tean problems in this season, probably he was in a better position.

I still vote for him to be the winner this year.

[Martyn]

Yeah Massa is a great driver I think, he is the only Ferrari driver I have ever actually liked besides Barrichello.

[SamNeeds]

It pains me to say it (As a Mclaren follower from the days if Mika and David C) but Massa is definately a champion in waiting. He just seems to have this ability to push and push his car without breaking a sweat.

[Crazysah]

I like BMW Sauber and Kubica but out of the top 4 I support Ferrari and Massa.

[SamNeeds]

Yeah, I rate Kubica..

He came up through the ranks at the same time as Hamilton - I was watching the F1 coverage on ITV the other week and they ran a piece about how Hamilton came to where he is. One bit was about him carting and showed Kubica with him.

[Kureb]

Kubica is really talented driver. We will see he winning some races in 08, for sure.

[aclca]

I wonder who will be top at this weekend in Monza,Italy!

it is critical.

[SamNeeds]

Definately Mclaren or Ferarri. They both have too much at stake (to lose) if they aren't in the top 4.

[Kureb]

I vote for Massa.

Italy GP Qualifying Results

yay!

[ahmz]

The Ferrari's were so slow compared to Mclaren.. even BMW! I hope they have many more laps of fuel onboard.. but I doubt it.

[Fergie]

Did anyone see Raikkonen's crash on todays Practice session? ITV had a short preview this morning.

All year McLaren seem to have had very good straight line speeds compared to Ferrari, which makes a big difference at Monza. I expect Ferrari will struggle.

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

interesting so far, masa is out seems he couldn't get out of first gear

McLaren Excluded from World Championships (2007+2008)

The Woking team, who faced the World Motor Sport Council for the second time in Paris today after new evidence came to light, were found guilty of using Ferrari's information in this year's Championship.

And the punishment is their exclusion from this year and next year's World Championships.

Really disappointed about this, although I sort of expected it.

Clarification: WMSC yet to decide on verdict

By Steve Cooper Thursday, September 13th 2007, 15:09 GMT

The World Motor Sport Council has yet to agree on a final verdict, despite our earlier newsflash suggesting otherwise.

Sources have told autosport.com one of the options currently reviewed is to exclude McLaren from both the 2007 and 2008 championship - in line with the World Motor Sport Council's decision in July.

However the FIA said no decision has yet been made, although a verdict is expected imminently.

[Fourjays Veteran]

Considering that the FIA offered Alonso and De la Rosa amnesty for evidence, it would be pretty daft if they did completely ban McLaren, as both lose their job (unless the FIA plans to find them new jobs). So the very fact that they were given amnesty indicates to me that the most the FIA will do is ban McLaren from the constructors.
