I can't say it's a surprise, Siverstone has been mismanaged by the BRDC for years now.
The only problem I see is that Donington isn't a particularly great circuit, though I understand from previous murmurings that they were looking at making changes to the layout should they secure the Grand Prix.
Silverstone is one of my favorite circuits. We'll have to see what Hermann Tilke does with Donington.
Next they'll get of of Spa.
Given his past efforts I predict a bland, wide track with tones of runoff and little excitement
We'll see, because I really like Istanbul Park. I loved T8 the first time I saw it.Given his past efforts I predict a bland, wide track with tones of runoff and little excitement

Man, I love Spa!
Did you guys hear that Codemasters have the licence for the F1 game too?

unsure, I think the new Codemasters Game is going to be 2009. I read the article here if anyones interested!
I want a Mac version!
Speed isn't any better. They are constantly preempting good stuff (like ALMS or other circuit racing, F1 interest programming like F1 Debrief or Inside Grand Prix) with crap like pickup truck qualifying, taxicab circle-racing practice, or reality programming (Wipe the Ass of A Nascar Driver is probably coming sooner or later). I can't tell you how often I've played back a DVR recording expecting real race programming only to find dumb crap instead. I hate Speed.
ya i know i feel ya.
have you ever been to the speed channel web site.
wow, it took me an hour to find the time listings, and they were wrong.
when will people give up this reality tv crap.
get a life and see what is real
The Speed webite has become about the poorest excuse for a website I've had the misfortune to navigate to.
And I'm not sure if it's even an improvement over the past one that would only work with Internet Explorer.
Yeah - spending £100 million to improve the facilities. Silverstone is great, but if the BRDC aren't gonna properly bring in investors (and the government shouldn't get involved in IMHO) then Donnington deserves its time in the limelight.
Quite. Even one of the most ardent Hamilton haters over at the Autosport forum is basically going 'Umm...well...er...well done. Wow.'
Extraordinary drive. I was at Doni in 1993 - and this was the same sort of drive. 68 seconds.
Ferrari AND Raikonnen threw away their opportunity to take the race to Hamilton by failing to put on new tyres, then failing to fix the mistake, and then falling off the track twice.
A hell of a race - and BRILLIANT to see RB on the podium - he's such a nice bloke, and deserves limelight after being in the shadow so long at Ferrari
Three way championship tie at the half way point. This is going to be a hell of a year

Great drive by Hamilton, Barrichello and Heidfeld. Really enjoyed the start with Hamilton going on the inside.
I think Massa spun 5 times though I may of lost count. This is why I think he is unlikely to win a championship, he is the fastest driver but also one of the most likely to go off.
Its a bit of a reversal of last year now when it was two McLaren going against a Ferrari, will Ferrari make sure they get a winner?

Three-way tie for the championship, with Kubica 2 points behind!
We sure have come a long way from the Schumi days when most races and the championship were a foregone conclusion.

Hamilton was extraordinary, I think he was the only one not to really loose it AND lapped all but 2 and was over a minute in the lead.
I've watched F1 since the early 80's and the real talents show in the wet races
Drivers who can do this in the wet are the real masters. It showed up the Ferrari drivers for what they really are. Average. Massa was an embarrassment and I've seen him do the same sort of thing before. He can't really drive. Rakkinonen not much better.
I remember seeing Senna almost win at Monaco in a Toleman Hart in 1984. It was soaking wet and his car was good but no match for the Ferraris, Williams, Maclarens and Renaults. He was a master and made everybody sit up and notice this emerging talent.
Hamilton is the same - he is as good as Senna. He is the real deal believe me.
The driver who wins well in the wet is the one to watch.
