F1 ?
Not seen any mention of the German round ?
Well I got slated a bit for saying Lewis had a easy win last time out as others never really pushed him well I think this time out he was pushed and
more than rose to the challenge, particulary after his last pit stop.

Casey's missus looked alright
Pity Pedrosa wasn't racing, but I'd like to see Ben Spies on Malandri's bike next year, about time he got his P45.
Father-in-law switched over to the golf from the F1, normally it'd kick off, but I kept quiet and eat my grub.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

I watched bits of the F1 race, towards the end, where Hamilton was overtaking people...
... he REALLY reminds me of Schumaker - he was fairly brutal after completing each overtake, forcing his opponent almost off the track. He may be a
gentleman off track, but he certainly isn't when on it!

You don't get past by pu55yfooting around! And to be fair, although it looked aggressive, that's a corner where the cars routinely use
the run-off as extra track. Not like they were forced into gravel or anything.

I thought Vettel pushing Alonso out of hte pitlane was great, Alonso then got really stressed, overdrove and ended up several places further back and
then got shown up by his rookie team mate - where've we seen that before
beware, I've got yellow skin

Good race. Boy done good (just watched the race on video from last night's highlights).....
Strange decision by McLaren. I expect they were forced into making him stay out by running the softs last IE if they'd pitted in the safety car
zone they would have had to do 28 laps on soft tyres

Mansellesque?
I thought it was a little like one of the classic Mansell surges. As far as him not being a gentleman on track.... well that's not going to cut
it. Is it? No really, do go ahead old chap please take my place....
He does seem to have a good racing killer instinct if such a thing exists. But he's not like schumacher, in that he hasn't got the
"if I can't win your certainly not going to" approach. So maybe that makes him gentlemanly?

I should stress that I wasn't criticising him - just pointing out that he's a lot tougher than he may appear when you see him
interviewed.
He certainly has the breathtaking bravery shown by Schuey...
