    Glad Lewis hasn't been docked points - Got £40 quid each way on him at 16/1 - "Get the value , Double Carpet, Burlington Bertie and other stupid betting sayings!"

    I bet you £100 million that F1 drivers are amongst the fittest sportmen in the world. (Not a gay reply!)

    Should've been kicked out of the whole thing - but that would spoil the last few races so didn't happen.

    They must be fit just to stay awake that long whilst following each other round the track. At least in Moto GP and SBK they overtake each other!

    Agree that it's boring but they still have to be supremely fit to do it.

    Go jutty. Love it when somebody takes some money off the bookies. They take enough off me. In fact in a way that will be my money you are winning. I take cheques. :D

    its McLaren

    Steve McClaren has nothing to do with Ferrari and motorsport

    Penalty seems disproportionately draconian - but not having the facts at the moment its a bit hard to really comment. The FIA have said they will explain the reasons tomorrow so I guess we will have to wait and see

    There does seem to be a Ferrari bias in the FIA - last season they changed the rules mid season to try and disadvantage Renault
    This season they have just taken McLaren out of the championship.

    Unless they have been guilty of systematic and intentional cheating its hard to justify a penalty of this scale

    and if they have how can you let the drivers keep their points?

    This could finish McLaren off

    They have to prove next years car has no Technology that could have come from Ferrari - thats a huge handicap as any ideas they have that are remotely similar to Ferraris they wont be able to use even if they came up with them themselves. I cant see how they can have a competitive car with that handicap

    But weren't Ferrari the hot favourites pre-season. Sure to get the bookies thinking. (doh)

    I am sorry I don't get your point? bookies cover all the options by adjusting the prices. probably would end up paying out about the same if Mclaren won it.

    Not being a fan of F1

    Are they really that biased or is this just a Roundsman-esque conspiracy theory?

    Erm... no it's not! To control a bike at those speeds is a hell of a lot harder and takes a hell of a lot more skill.
