And you might see Rigsby in the crowd. I intend to seek out Ross Brawn for some answers as to why he has given God such a lousy car.lol

Rigsby, and you even might have a chance to sit next to Playboy's father who is allowed back!

Rigsby, just take along a BIG 'TRNC' flag and we'll watch out for you ;)



I expect Ferrari to be more competitive and IF McLaren have got the blown diffuser setup right they will be thereabouts, too



Other factors will be the weather ( temp / rain) and how well the tyres last / how well they are managed...



NOTE JB consistently tends to come good in the latter stages of the race - as his tyres are better preserved.

I'd love to have seen what would have happened if Kobayashi hadn't been in front of JB for most of the race..

Re : Msg8,



Rigsby, and I am bidding as we speak for Playboy's NEW HELMET( ethnic yellow one) ! Hope I'll have enough money if I put my bet on the Gnome!

P.S. Hoping to spot you on TV in the crowd in Playboy's enclosure next to his Papa (wearing THE HELMET).

Rigsby was there,brilliant,Lewis Hamilton has a lot of respect from me.After the race on the slow down lap he drove up the escape lane at Abbey corner and waved to the crowd,top marks from me.However the Red Bull,s were in a different class.I am sure it would have been 1st and second if Vettell had not got a puncture at the start.There were a few empty seats at Silverstone and when i tried to get an upgrade all the web site said was;Sold out?

Re : Msg 12,



Clarissa is very very sad: lost money on Gnome bet, plus Alonso had this stupid penalty...

And on top of that Rigsby has switched over to Playboy's camp!

Hi Rigsby



I took the Mrs out and recorded it - thinking the race would be boring.... !



Not much mention of Jenson Button on here .. So..



WHAT a drive on the first lap .. 14 th - 8th



LOVED the comment from Webber on the radio - when he was being congratulated for his victory.." not bad for a no.2 driver "



Rigsby's 'God' was a pussy cat, and Alonso had another bad day at the office - first being hit by Massa just after the start and then the drive through for how he passed Kubica..



Well done to Williams - 2 in the top ten - and Kobyiashi



Oh, but I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Red Bull debrief ...



Bring on Hungary, ( another Red Bull circuit ) and we'll see if McLaren can get their blown diffuser to work ...

Mark,No not asleep but a very long day yesterday.I have to say that the renault driven by the russian chap had a good day.Nice of god to let Vettel pass easy,but i dont think the Red Bulls could be caught on the track.After the safety car and the bunching up of the cars it took about 2 laps before Webber got the gap back to where it was.I think Webber put the kettle on and made the tea while the others were still going round.That safety car sounds real nice on the track.I also think Bernie has a fair point when he said Silverstone was a fair pretending to be a circus.

Hi Rigsby !



I'd LOVE to see what Alfonso could have done if he can get away in clean air !



YES, the Merc safety car sounds good -from inside, too..[ no not been inside it - just watched it on TV ] amazing to think Bernd Mayländer is CANING the AMG -tuned engine, and yet the F1 cars tyres need 'warming' as they are going too slow :o



For SURE, the Red Bull is the class act on such circuits and had something in hand..



As for The Russian lad.. he brings sponsorship money and he's not totally useless ! .. May be there'll be a F1 GP in St Petersburg, soon ?!
