i also think there should be changes to the qualifing it seems that they are not filling the fueltanks up so times are faster i would let each team start qualifing on a half tank of fuel then when the hour is over all tanks are filled and sealed by the fia not the teams just an idea .

Tradition racing start would be good for starters

Vettel made a good enough start this time (Pointed the car the right way) but was "Asleep" when the safety car period ended.

However I think the "Twerp" this week has to be Schumacher.....maybe he can be the "Big Twerp"?? Some things don't change, except that I don't think we'll see him win another championship or on present form, another race. Schumacher maybe a seven time champion but I feel this is more of a statistic than a genuine comparison with people like Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Prost or Senna (Even Mansell or Moss, who maybe didn't win so many races or even a championship in the case of Moss but still great drivers and also fair drivers). Seven time champion or not, he does himself no favours by resorting to his old tricks (I know that Senna was no saint but he got better). I also have to say that Nikki Lauda made a better comeback than Schumacher!!

I have to say I feel that the tyres should be made to last the race and that they should simply have wet or dry tyres. If they puncture, suffer any other tyres problems of the weather changes, they come into the pits; otherwise they get on with it. The pantomime in the pits today was a good enough reason to adopt such a system.

The ONLY excitement in yesterday's fiasco was the safety car/tyre change mess. Don't suggest banning tyre changes next!! At least the Wee Twerp lost out in it all ! Yaaay!!! I agree about Schumacher - he should be SEVERELY penalised for his move yesterday which could easily have killed Barichello. No doubt he 'didn't see him'. Groveling face to face apology on TV - with boot licking - would be appropriate I think.

Well when they interviewed him after the race he admitted he knew Rubens was there, but no apology

I think what the commentator said about Schumacher was spot on "doesn't know when to give up"

I see he got points on his licence - and 10 place grid penalty at the next GP. Not enough in my view - almost anyone else (not Ferrari obviously) would have been banned for a couple of races. Seems he was trying to indicate to Rubens that there was plenty of room to go round on the other side......... aye right.
