still it was an interesting race, with much of the drama provided by finish people - kovalainen? two time crasher - in one race, that deserves kudos

hm ok, take 50% heritage points there, we claim the other 50%
anyway, what's that investigation all about? i turned off the telle once the race was through. and to add to that, during the race i had muted the sound, pointless babble of some ex-hotshot racedriver and his equally challenged co-commentator.. boring.
after all this is formula one. the top of the motorsporting world - according to a lot of people. with all these scandals and investigations and disqualifications (already pronounced and pending ones) the sport is almost a byproduct. i wonder when we reach the point where the racing is just the half time show between the latest episode in "the simple race" or some other random title for a reality based soap around motorracing. gosh. they ticked of the americans with that indianapolis thing a few years ago, now they disqualify a team (sort of), blablabla.
also what's with the allowing all the technological gizmo one season or two or three and then removing them again (for good - supposedly) only to allow them or some variant of them again later for a few seasons and then ban it again. friggin make up your damn mind. no electronics governing traction, no movable parts and slick or rain tyres. DONE.
jeeez, with all that crap going on, i'm tempted to lose f1 completely and switch over to touring cars and the le mans series. blargh

one thing about the alonso - hamilton thing. i don't think hamilton got a better treatment or better material over alonso. it's just their policy - and has been for ages - at times in the past and maybe this season, too, working against them. they believe both drivers should get the same material. so they do that. alonso, as the reigning world champion, felt entitled to get the better parts (because let's face, out of two engines, one has to be a wee bit better than the other), but didn't. i don't know how they decide who gets what - maybe they just cast the engine and say engine one goes into car 1, engine 2 in car two, engine 3 into car 1, ... so all in all he made a big stink because he didn't get the preferred treatment he expected. that really is all. but then again he's a twat for thinking he'd get that after at least a decade of ron dennis and mclaren claiming to have equal drivers and not favoring any one of them. so in essence he hoped for something the team wouldn't give him. couple that with a teammate that, although being a rookie in formula one, turned out to be the 2nd best driver in the world this year. that's gotta work your ego as the reigning champion quite a bit. im not trying to defend alonso, he's still a twat in my opinion, but you gotta see the bigger picture to all this. and to say that this is all ron dennis' fault is also stupid, because all the players knew the rules - some just hoped against better judgement that the rules would be changed for them is all.

so are we going to see additional drastic changes for the fia f1-rulebook for next year as a result of this years soap-opera?
