....whats all this gloating about the GP for?? 
F1 is ****e, a sport for toffs, and has no relation to the real grass roots motorsport that most of us compete in....
Why massage the ego's of these corporate ******?

While you lot were tapping away at the above gloating, I was sitting in a bar being proffered free tickets to the European Le Mans Series Estoril 1000km, by a person I've never met before. Pit lane pass included.
Strangely enough, I didn't refuse.
Now please can we start discussing being offered free Ferraris?
