well well.. seeing the red 'clowns' running like the 100 meters final down the pitlane and being cheered by the Mclaren pit boys on the passage, I gotta say I had a good laugh and it was a very entertaining circus to say the least!

Ouch... Talk about scorching the other. We'll have to ask them to be nice to each others. but Ferrari sure did give us something to talk about in a mostly boring race. They've had too many pit incident this year and it sure looks like discipline is starting to be an issue.

Well, well, Bernice slamming the Scuderia.

He'll live to regret that remark.

That was a vicious jab, but somewhat deserved I'm afraid. Montezemolo is a passionate man and sometimes lets his passion override his sense of reason. And the unfortunate part is that Bernie Ecclestone is the most powerful man associated with F1 and is not afraid to let you know how he feels. Montezemolo really just poured water on an oil fire.

Nice one Bernie! Never thought I'd ever agree with BE.

I think the only clown in this situation is Bernie and the F1 circus. A man of his position should leave "personal" opinions out of public comments. It makes F1 look like cheese like roller derby and WWF. You do not see another other sporting organizations making silly derogatory comments about a team or player? Being transparent is not in Bernie's or Max's vocabulary.

Bernie always brings nuclear weapons to a knife fight. His toxicity in the face of adversaries is the stuff of legend. He is the worst possible steward of the sport, but for all the rest!

In many other sports, Luca's comments would be considered detremental to the sport and he would be subject to a fine and or suspension. Luca has his underwear in a wad because Ferrari should have won Singapore handily. Instead, errors are being made that in the time of JT and RB would hardly ever have been made. Luca has to deflect the issue to something or someone else - no point waiting until the end of the season where he can be held accountable.

If I was Bernie I would have told Luca to gas and go last week.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Continous mud slinging gives F1 a bad image and I believe this is due to the lack of politically correctness from Bernie and Max who should set an example for everyone else. How do you expect people to behave if the guys at the top don't respect anyone either.

Lets see if in the next GPs Bernie and his celebrity guests get entertained and fed at Ferrari's expense on their luxury hospitality areas.

He had it coming to him, if Felipe was the one to come out the winner of that race, DiMontezemolo would be talking about how much fun they had in Singapore and how much he thinks his two drivers are the best in the world.
