Anybody catch the French G.P.??
I prefer the live event on Speed rather than the delay on Fox. McLaren better get their collective butts in gear if they want to save this season.

I taped it, but then I was watching Euro 2008 on ESPN and their little ticker spoiled it.
Anyway, kudos to Massa and the prancing horse
The WDC is wide open, and Felipe has come a long way since the opening races

Don't have a Mercedes right now...
Fox sucks, not only they delay the race but they cut the prerace show and the driver interview at the end!!! What the hell are these guys doing, how do they expect to attract more people to the sport if they don't present them with enough to understand what they are watching. I actually wanted to hear what Kimi and Jarno said regarding the problem with his exhaust/effect on the car and what Jarno had to say about his magnifisent performance!

It was simply scary watching Massa's Ferrari pass a McLaren on Lap 49 like we were standing still.
Now, rant time.
Kova, gets a 10 spot penalty for holding up Weber in qualy....When he was one of a number of cars?!
WTF is up with the Hami penalty on his pass of Vettel? 7 laps later we hear of the penalty?
Raikonnen gets to drive around with a flaying exhaust pipe? That car should have been taken off the road. Hell the crew didn't do anything simply to avoid appearing concerned.
I'm mildly happen for Jarno, but damn, it appears the stewards have it in for McLaren.
Very disappointing.

Good for Masa. F1 needs to break away from the FIA.

If only David Hobbs would not interrupt his co-commentators continously...Very annoying...
James Allen and Martin Brundle are much better IMHO..Hamilton should know , by now, that you cannot gain a position by cutting across a chicane. Ron Dennis certainly seems to have tried, unsuccessfully, to change the stewards minds, about the drive-through penalty.
