I never saw the RPM show, however before the Race he did not say much, except explained the basics of what happened.

ahahah i wouldnt be saying anything negative if i were him...
Honda sponsoring the televising of the F1 on ten... not to mention all the ad's playing on the network...
is anyone able to give more info on 'channel tens' view of BAR? I didnt bother watching cause of no BAR also
What I don't understand is why many BAR fans will still not watch the races. I believe it is very important to watch the other teams compete. Any true fan of the sport will still follow the races religiously.
I'm not a fan of martin or James but at least they say to what they fell and they both said last night that BAR broke the rules and they should cop it sweet.
Neil Crompton is sitting on the fence, he said last night in a great smart ass way that this isn't the first time BAR had interpreted the rules different to everyone else, he wants to say something but I think higher powers are saying NO NO NO!
How good was the Spanish director?
Slow montion video's all the time to show the tyre situation, who was bold who was ok, and a lot of incar footage which was great.
You saw Alonso changing things with the controls, Webber fighting the car and Kimi just cruising.
Great tv was the behind shot of Trulli's Toyota after the 2nd pit stop when he had a great flame or two just burst out of one side of his exhaust.
What are Ferrari thinking with fueling Michael up like that?
The only thing I can think of is that they knew the tyres weren't going to hold out and had to nurse the car until 1/2 the race was done and then see what they can do. Very disappointing, but if you read planetf1.com you will see Alonso, Kimi and Trulli expecting Michael and Ferrari to be right up there in this 19 round season.
Webber, Webber oh Webber.
Yes I know the car is rubbish and isn't balanced and doesn't have speed.
But Montoya last year one at Suzuka with a slower car.
Anyone else notice he buckled again when Rubens was behind him?
Just kicked the tale end out (power to early or too much speed into corner) and back end on dirt Rubens into 8th or whatever it was.
Then the thing that pissed me off, he didn't even block or try to block Fisichella from passing him.
Renault, fastest lap on the last lap by Fisichella and Alonso went cold and then ok then cold back to ok.
I think they will run into problems soon.
I just wish, that Montoya didn't spin (which he caught FANTASTICALLY) and his fuel hose didn't stuff up.
My hands are sore, too much typing.
not true Javed, alot of us, myself included and i know alot of my mates are not F1 supporters, we are BAR-Honda supporters, and hence no BAR no interest.
Its like Sydney Swans AFL in sydney, they dont support the AFL competition, they support the Sydney swans.
Problem is, why didn't BAR do it before and if it isn't so clear in the rule book why didn't another team do it either?
Mmmm fair enough. But if you were a swans supporter and the swans arent in the grand final, do you still not watch the match? Not a dig, but a serious question. Also, Jason you seem to hate BAR alot, Martin and James are twats and I would not trust them as far as I could throw them, their opinion means shit. The fact that Sir Frank Williams was on Fry's behalf is enough proof for me. Away from that argument, yes Montoya did look shit hot, and JPM is my favourite driver away from the BAR lads, so was thoroughly disappointed to see his fuel rig not work :( Mclaren have seemed to step up to the challenge.
I don't hate BAR, but I do dislike Jenson.
I would rather see them in it then not in it.
if ur refering to the 'cheating'...Quote:

(GMM) As the shudder of BAR's two-race ban is still felt up and down pitlane, it has emerged that three more teams may also have been running an iffy fuel setup.
Britain's 'Guardian' newspaper said the trio is believed to have 'modified (their tank's) design' after BAR were found guilty of using fuel as ballast and running an underweight contender.
But, at Imola, FIA stewards did not also check - for example - the Ferrari F2005 and Renault R25's own fuel system.
Javed, i guess the masses wouldnt? Well I know I didnt watch it, and a few ppl said even thought there was so much uncertainty (which keeps viewers entertained), they found it boring without BAR.
I knew that Id be bored without BAR, I mean i watch qualifying etc up til the race, but after I found out BAR werent in, I jsut found that evetything else was boring. Just my opinion and no offense taken Javed, its just me, and I think a few ppl are the same.
I have been off the F1 for a few years now, but for some reason, this year I am finding myself sitting up all hours watching the races and I love it!
I am a straight-out Schumey fan, period, but over the past couple of years it became very predictable. This year's season, whilst filled with controversy, bizarre rules, etc is probably the most ineresting it has been for a number of years and I guess that is why I have come back to it.
With regards to last night's race, everyone seems to have been waiting for that race when Mclaren would bring everything together - Spain was obviously that race! I am not a McLaren fan (haven't been since the Senna days) but f*ck me that car looked shit-hot last night both in performance and even just the general on-road presence. It is one sleek looking car!
I am finding some of the rulings to be very frustrating (like not being able to do tyre changes) and my frustrations are probably only going to increase next year with more f*cked up ideas from Max. I think that article on Page 7 of the thread that lud posted up pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter.
This is the ultimate motor sporting circus in the world. It is where our road cars get their technology from (without F1 we might not have our beloved VTEC)....
Channel 10 sucks. It is as simple as that! I have always said, give it back to 9! (maybe even SBS). Actually, give me the job to host it and get rid of those puppets that handle the motorsport on 10 now. I rekon we could get a nice little team of well informed guys from here that could do a much better job.
But then i guess it is just like everything in life - POLITICS
Ahh that's enough rambling for tomight. Bring on the next round!
