the table's will turn next year
I know I have been hard on him but this year he has made a lot of bad calls. I wouldn't mind seeing him go to the #88 if we could get Brian Whitesell back . Still though the car was not good enough in terms of handling, comfort and speed to consistently run in the top ten. He was good for the first 150 laps or so and then the car went away and lost a lap in the process. Still he got the free pass, worked on the car some and got a 2nd place finish on gas. These kind of strategies Letarte is good at but still needs to work on in race adjustments before Gordon can run with the 99, 48, 16 and other cars I have no problem with Letarte. He is trying to adjust the best he can with the cot set up. Some caught on faster than others. They look like they finally got it together. Of course now we have to wait till next year.
As of him going to the 88 team, I am giving Eury Jr. the off season to figure out what is up. Then I am going to start complaining. lol I'd keep Letarte. He's got potential-we just haven't seen all he's capable of yet. I'm not a fan of Hendrick or Gordon but if I was a fan of his, I'd be pretty upset at how well the 48 team is running relative to the 24. Is JJ really THAT much better a driver than Jeff?! You betcha... still NO wins..... he needs to go. I am not a Jeff Gordon fan but I think Letarte is doing a fine job......I'll take him on top of the #88 box!! Jeff was awesome yesterday and I think it was a bad luck year and not a bad crew chief year.coffeepotsoftware

it was pretty close, but it definitely wasn't the closest race of all time.
i belive the closest race ever has to be one of the races when raikkonen battled alonso in 2006, esp. japan 2006. nah... the Singapore street race more fun and closer Yes it the closest race ! You mean the most fixed GP ever? I got up at 3:30 am to watch it live. I was on the edge of my seat for most of it, and standing up for the last 2 laps. I woke up my family yelling at the TV when Vettel got past Hamilton.... A real nailbiter, one of the most exciting GP's for a long long time. Singapore street race was far better. nope. the race was not close. but the race for the championship was.
Massa had a very comfortable win over Alonso and Kimi.
On the other hand, the championship race was exciting as it really went to the last corners! The biggest fix i've ever seenemirates airline booking

I loved the fact it was a mechanic who told them them !!!
LOL
i agree - alonso losing the WC like that would be amazing!
loved the end of the race - i was shaking!!
i was dissapointed at hamiltons driving near the end though, almost as like he was just prepared to let himself come 6th without fighting... dissapointed in hamilton but im still glad he won!! The single greatest moment of this decade in F1 Cruel but extremely satisfying! wait for the fia to deduct points off lewis Lovely thank you very much!
I thought it was lost but then we had a little bit of luck at the end! Amazing afternoon of racing!!! lol at their faces.
Well done Lewis! Wow. I need a pint or two. I'm glad Lewis Hamilton won, that won't please the racist Spaniards! Dell PC = ВЈ499
House = ВЈ250,000
Watching everyone in the Ferrari Pit Garage realise Massa HAS NOT WON the title. = Absolutely f-in PRICELESS! Don't be such a prat ! You can thank that strange and very convenient problem of Glock's car (or wallett?). Enjoy it, it's not going to last.
Ferrari sei un mito, Massa forever F*cking brilliant mate.
Now go to the American NASCAR forum and tell the yank muppets that the WORLD CHAMPION is from ENGLAND. Pricless what a finale I was jumping up and down like a 10 year old. Good for you Hamilton. Gutted Ferrari i didn't enjoy it the best! I wish i could have taken a picture!...sigh.....lol LOL! That's one for You've been framed, might win them ВЈ200!LOL Classic, Schumi some what absent was he not! haha lmao i no they thought they had won 2 in one day massa is a great guy for trying but no-one can beat the world class of lewis hamilton8000 winch

I'm all for trying new things, but most of the time it never works out. Dario Franchitti is a good example. It seems like nowadays as soon as a driver thinks he is any good, he winds up in Nascar. It also appears to be the last place some drivers wind up after they've been kicked or pushed out of everything else, like Juan Montoya or Scott Speed. Nascar has become a dumping ground for washed up race drivers. Good thing is many can't cut it and don't last long. I think Travis Pastrana might be a heckuva driver. He seems to be awesome at everything he does. Or do you find it annoying? I personally think it is pretty cool because it shows how popular NASCAR really is and it shows how good an open-wheel driver really is in other forms of racing. That's just my opinion, though. What do you think? Also, is there any other drivers that you would like to see come to NASCAR? If so, who? I can't say it bothers me that they're coming over to NASCAR necessarily, but it's how they do it. Most of them jump straight into the Cup. That's not the way to do it. They should at least start out in Busch, or Nationwide, or whatever the hell they're calling that this week. Don't really like it at all unless they are super good and I have only seen one like that in the last 3 years.
Doesn't bother me. I've grown quite fond of several of them. It's fscinating to watch them attempt to adapt to a different style of racing. I've watched a few F1 races, Fernando Alonso I believe would do well, he's a very good driver, he does however seem to have a personality that most NASCAR fans frown upon. As far as IRL drivers, I think Tony Kanaan or Helio Castroneves(did I spell that right?) might do well. I doubt any of them would come to NASCAR, but I suppose you never know. It bothers me if they come right from open-wheel to Cup. It's not fair that they can just skip the NW series or ARCA. If they want to race in Cup, they should come over from IRL/F1 and race in the NW series then EARN their Cup ride.
And FYI, Richard Petty agrees with me! I personally hate it. I think it is kicking people out of cars that have dreamed since childhood to be in one. The drivers taking them are often here for a fling in the series. I don't have a problem with them coming into NASCAR,what I have a problem with is teams hiring these drivers and letting them go just as they are really starting to do better.I think it is really crappy that A.J. Allmendinger and Patrick Carpentier don't have rides for next year as of now.A.J. has came a long way as well as Patrick.I hope that they both find good rides for next year. i agree with he Col, they should have some seat time in Nationwide before straight to the Cup Series...Montoya seems to be the only one with some success this year and hopefully more next year, but my personal opinion is that Montoya leaves Gnassai for a better equipped team and then we would see some REAL results! no i do not
we have nationwide drivers that want to move up plus arca and trucks that want to move to nation wide to try to make cup also
so with that said they should stay where they started I agree with Green bean!
Not to mention, quit wreckin my driver!
Get the hell off the track!
Go to ARCA!kakoose

im glad its going back to the bbc.as long as james allan stays with itv Glad and relieved. ITV have got a whole load of rights for live football coverage next year and, if F1 had stayed with them, the football would have been given priority. Personally, I can't stand football and would hate to have to wait for Numpty United to finish 0-0 away against Chumpton City before getting an edited F1 race - still with adverts - after the event.
The BBC doesn't have rights to anything else to clash with F1 and can be expected to give it every accommodation. Plus, Bernie has already said the old theme tune will be coming back so that's that. Next year the BBC get it back ... ITV do an okjob but I'll be glad to watch a race without adverts every 8 laps. (Not that it's that exciting!) Yep back on the Beeb good news Yes and No
Yes: No James Allen (Well sometimes he is okay)
No Louise and Ted
No: Like the Ad they put and the Replays they show after
Good Memories with ITV
But with DC and Brundle commentating it should be fun, But with Murray, it would be better you can watch it also online for free on http://www.LiveStream.us.tt
I am an aussie the local station currently rebroadcasts the ITV feed.
Since they do not normally deal with the BBC and have a relationship with the US's Speed TV --- I am worried about not getting the BBC but Speed TV's ....argghhhh
We used toget the BBC's and MW was a genius .. People all too easily forget how BAD the BBC coverage used to be, compared to what ITV have given us fans over recent years.
ITV have improved the coverage by an order of magnitude. At times the BBC didn't always show races/qualifying live, we'd be outraged now.
ITV have done a good job. Yes, some of them annoy the hell out of us, but overall we can really only complain about those damn adverts.
Good job ITV, hope there's EVEN BETTER to come from Auntie Beeb. No, the ads give a break to go for tea or pee without missing a rare bit of real action, since they will replay any incident that happens during the ad break, and they tend to avoid taking a break at a critical point.
I would like the classic F1 theme back though, hope the BBC still have the rights to that, you can't beat that bass line. i think itv was good especially martin brundles pit walks cos they made me laugh but i think it will probably be better on bbc, i did like the links itv had with couthard and hamilton but it was quite bias towards the british drivers and i think bbc will be more open with how it perceives talent, plus if the keep "the chain" by fleetwood mac as the title music then im sure everyone will be happy lol BRING BACK MURRAY WALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol Much as the adverts haven't been as disruptive as I thought they would be, I'm rather glad it's going back to the Beeb. At least we get the 'Nigel Mansel' sig. tune back instead of Three Blind Mice (listen!!) I'm waiting to see who's going to be involved with the commentating before I'll be totally happy however. Incidentally I'm not so sure the Beeb is going to be 'unbiased' (going by recent programmes .....)guess the character price
