News in brief

Wed 02 Jul, 09:40 AM


Mark Webber has been busy since the French Grand Prix. The Australian went to a Speedway event in Wales last Saturday, contested an amateur mountain bike race on Sunday, and watched tennis at Wimbledon on Monday.

Webber, 31, also said he will keep an eye on the start of the Tour de France as he races at Silverstone this weekend.

"I am a big general sports fan and, while MotoGP is probably my second favourite sport, I do enjoy the Tour, especially the mountain stages," the Red Bull driver said in his latest column for the BBC.

  • He clashed memorably with Fernando Alonso just a year ago, but Lewis Hamilton says he is getting on famously with his 2008 McLaren team-mate, Heikki Kovalainen, who also lives in Switzerland.

    "We sometimes train together, even go out to dinner," the Briton said in interview with the newspaper Blick.

    1. Why Have Yahoo padded this out with a load of old messages? Things must be getting pretty slow here if they've got to recycle old posts.
      Must be because everyone's following Spanky's advice (18) and going to f1fanatics,myforumx,com for a decent conversation.

    8. Lewis must not be as good a driver as he thinks. I recall another time he failed to yeild to a traffic signal, Canada, crashed into Kimi, took him out.

    10. you speed in the pitlane, you get a fine, everybody knows this, its not a conspiracy, it really is quite simple, its not the same as ignoring flags where its not an automatic fine, its not the same as overtaking a ferrari, its simply speeding in the pitlane.

    11. the race hasn't begun yet and he is already on the path to cheating

    12. BMW just spoken to after ignoring yellow flags!! Oh, I forgot, the team name does not start with an M.

    13. Hi USAlien & mjhzxc. Some of the people who prefer to talk about F1 in a friendly way, and don't want to wade through pages of nonsense have been visiting a forum. We think you might fit in nicely there, its at f1fanatics,myforumx,com obviously swap the commas. You'll find a lot of nice people there.

    14. Let's see ... Hamilton gets fined 900 Euros for speeding in pitlane (okay, twice in one day and admittedly 900 Euros is a drop in the bucket) and Kubica just gets a reprimand for ignoring yellow flags?

      Granted, speeding in pit lane is dangerous, but isn't ignoring yellow flags potentially just as dangerous? Where's the fine for Kubica?

    15. how can you call a world champion a rookie. he was a rookie but not any more worrie about your own driver.(who probley drive for ferrari)

      Restraining order for Sutil... very funny, LOL.
      By the way, thanks to Massa spin which caught Sutil unexpectedly. Massa get away and Sutil go into the wall and race is over for him. Looks like 250m behind is not good enough... haha

      From ferraribeng, on Mon 29 Sep 4:45PM

    18. Hehe Roy, you are too funny. I think McLaren need to put indicators on Lewis's car so the stewards don't penalize him for improper lane changes.
      I'm sure it won't be long before the tifosi complain that Sutil is getting paid by McLaren for obstructing Massa time and again. Massa is going to seek a restraining order, making him stay a minimum of 250ft behind him

      From usalien1967, on Mon 29 Sep 4:18PM

    19. I here that the stewards were asked to fall on thier swords for not penalising McClaren for failling to run down the pit lane to help Ferrri mechanics who were slowed down by the weight of the bung given them by Ron and as for the time penalty on Massa, they are taking that to the FIA to see if they can get that applied to Hamilton instead for passing Massa again while he was in the pits and having a better suntan
