^^^ Nevermind about that idea. Just read that the KERS must be applied to the rear wheels as currently used. However, did notice that Exhaust Recovery from the single turbo will be allowed as well, so I'm curious how they're going to implement that!

Sounds like they are admitting the off-throttle engine reliability excuse was baloney as most of us already knew

10% throttle...no, 20% ...no, now 50%!
Say what?...http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/92941
Can U say this smells like roses or the dump?

Saturday update – "After consultations on this overnight, the FIA has reverted to the previous ruling that only 10% throttle opening is permitted, much to the annoyance of Red Bull and Christian Horner." ....R U confused now?...I am.

But Wait there's More
All the bi**^&ching by RB, McLaren and Ferrari has now resulted in an attempt to reverse the blown diffuser ban...meeting on Tomorrow...i.e., going back to Valencia... http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/92987 ...but they need unanimous agreement within FOTA...that is probably not going to happen so set at 10% throttle for rest of season...let moaning and groaning continue.

Update: "...Ferrari and the Ferrari-powered Sauber team refused to sign the deal to return to the Valencia specification." Why U ask?...bc Ferrari was within 1 sec of RB in Silverstone Qualy

Add Another A-hole to the List
Schumi...never did like him or his driving "style'...I religate him to Petrov- Hami team of "Get out of my way...come hell or high water, I'm coming through mentality"...there is always next race to look forward to!

I'm just glad to see Vettel not get the win. How about that finish at the end with Massa and Hami, I wanted Massa to get the spot so bad. Great to see Ferrari win again, even if it was Alonso.
Getting tired of this whole exhaust thing, I wish they would just stick with one rule. Personally, I think they should just ban the overun, or keep it at 10%. I liked the way the cars sounded yesterday, didn't have the flagulent sound.

You can't really blame a race car driver for racing. Some people do stupid things... and Schumacher has done plenty of them... but I don't know if that incident was one of them.

What happened to Button was pretty stupid... "Guys the wheel isn't on"... and he would have had a high finish if not for that incident. Thank God nothing happened. I still remember races in the past where a wheel wasn't put on properly and it ends up rolling forward at a high rate of speed hitting pit crews and stuff.
And what is the deal with them not fuelling Hamilton's car properly??? He probably could have gotten a podium finish if not for that screw up.
