Not a very good week for England.

Could have been worse. It’s better to have had the chance to win than to have had no chance at all.

…his rookiness was just at the beginning…
Had he have not had his "engine troubles" (i think something is a-foot here) he would have been fine.

I mean how many times did he go almost to the back and drive like a freaking mad-man climbing up to the front yet again. His 3 pit stops as opposed to 2 would be an issue, yes. but again….his car was fine all season but towards the end…"oh noeeess! the gearboxx is fxxxxored!!"…

meh.

Also,

GO SAFFAS!!!

*springbok’s all over the place*

that try though…blatantly looked in!..though if the entire match played out the way it did but had a try and conversion, it would still have been 14-15

Lewis Hamilton = Born Racer. He wants to win things and beat everybody on the track. Nothing wrong with that, but experience will revert him to what he was at the start of the season ie. points count not trophies. We could reverse and hope for another Schumacher but we already have one in Alonso whom is a self-confessed cheat. See appeal, and press, details for confirmation.

I’m happy to see Kimi win it though. He has been one of the best drivers for a few years now, and he deserves it. Whether Ferrari deserve it is a matter between the neutral and the biased. I’m a neutral and believe they have had ‘favourable’ treatment from the FIA. Though, lets not forget, the vast majority of the teams in WORLD motorsport rely on British (not just English) engineering knowledge, including design. That includes Ferrari who still miss the knowledge of the Mancunian Ross Brawn. And the likes of Adrian Newey, who is recognised as the finest designer in the motorsport world. Just happens to be English, and just like John Barnard (among many others) is being paid vast amounts of money to turn an average F1 team (Barnard dragged Ferrari from the doldrums in the late 80’s – early 90’s) into a viable competitor again.

English (in terms of sport) should only be used when the team is consisting of members of the TEAM that are recognised as qualified for the term English (including nationality). F1 (and all other motorsport teams) have members from all corners of the world, and rightly so. It is the most advanced motorsport known to man.

Rugby = Public school boys (don’t bend over Percy) who play the game invented by a cheat because he couldn’t kick a football. Otherwise known as… egg chasers.

England Football Team = Vastly overpaid, average skill (compared to players gone before) whom can’t perform for their country. Coupled with a manager who hasn’t a clue, and picks those who play for ‘big’ clubs = absolute rubbish.

Now then, Hydraulic manufacturers………………
