Almost tempting to find a sticker saying "Female driver" and mash it on their car

My best team prediction for Monaco has to be Red Bull. They have such a well balanced and set up car and these slow corners should suit them perfectly.

Webber for the win?

I think Button will be supreme again and defy all the odds.

Although the smart money is on Red Bull IMO.

(LOL @ the sexist remark! *Waits for Emma to see*)

Nothing would been greater to see a few girls in F1.

There's been a couple in Indy Car / Cart doing quite well, and quite a few more in nascar, but never in the history of F1 as far as I know.

Are they girls racing or just the grid girls John

And on basis of female drivers, Sarah Moore leads the Ginetti Junior championship ahead of a field dominated by boys

I've watched a few races on German stations, mostly RTL... they have the best, albeit not terribly politically correct term for this: Boxen-luder

Box = the pits
Luder = ... oh well... I guess "tramp" is the least offensive word for it that I can think of right now. Female dog works too.

Crossing the line on foot - just shows his class really!

Button has the be one of the nicest drivers too - he just always seems to be laughing and joking always willing to chat to anyone, never an air of arrogance at all. Vettel's the same!

I thought Button was like that cause he was in a crap car last year, obviously not!


Ferrari taking legal action to stop the cap now, looks like Ranault and BMW are gonna back them up too.

By watching the race last night, i think Button is on of the smoothest racers out there.

Doubt legal action will help if FIA is lame enough to stick with Bernie's ideas on this... There's nothing wrongful or illegal in any way FIA is doing by introducing such a cap so don't see how the civil legal system even applies at all.

I totally agree with their fight against the cap though, and don't see how FIA has any choice in the end but to back down with this many top teams pulling out if the rule stands.


As for Button and the Brawns, it looks grim in terms of anyone really being able to challenge them this season. Maybe introducing both such a massive number of changes as well as banning in-season testing at the same time wasn't such a good idea... The teams who missed the target ahead of the season has very little means by which to catch up until the season is over.

I agree about in-season testing. However I think the changes have invigorated F1 - it's made people believe in miracles and that change can come fast, big teams won't always win!!

Again I agree on the legal action. Seems that's all Ferrari want to do. Best thing they can do is threaten to leave along with all the other big names.

They all need to sit down at a big table and agree either way. Bernie is a hard man to change, I'm sure the threat of sponsors and investors pulling out will do it in the end though!
