There's going to be a lot of this because Brazil is one of the worst countries for kidnapping. Holding the olympics there is just a mistake.I feel bad for Ecclestone, but greed (he's worth billions) creates problems for the greedy.

Ferrari parts ways with James Allison...

Ferrari won't stand for not winning for very long. More shake up in Maranello.

He left on his own accord since his wife died in tragic circumstances, and he wanted to be close to his children in the UK. Will probably go back to Renault now.

That's how it's being spun. I don't buy it. I'm not sure why Ferrari took him on anyway, Lotus was terrible too. I don't think for a second that was his fault entirely but it is what it was.

Poor Nico,,, he forgot to turn again,,, 5 second penalty,, off the podium. Good job by Hamilton won it at the start again. He's still got his work cut out with the looming grid penalties due to replacing engine parts. We'll see....

and in typical Bernie fashion, he got his mother-in-law back without paying a dime

White64Goat · 08-01-2016, 06:12 PM

and NOW he'll be paying for the rest of his life...........

Lotus was terrible with Allison? I dont think 4th best constructor and 3rd best in driver's standings with one of the smallest budgets on the grid is "terrible".

If Bernie got himself kidnapped he would some how sell the rights to televise his kidnapping and make a fortune.

Helluva race!

I was kiiiinda hoping for Verstappen to pass Nico at Les Combes and hold the lead but it didn't quite pan out that way...

Silver Ignition · 09-01-2016, 09:17 AM

Felipe Massa to retire at the end of the season!

Time to step up, Checo!
