I think you'd need the radio to be there purely for safety reasons, if the team can see from the telemetry that a car's about to have a brake failure or have the suspension collapse then it's safer to have the team be able to tell the driver immediately rather than wait for him to see a pitboard, at which point it may be too late.
Perhaps a better thing to do would be to ban the radio except for when the team urgently needs to speak to the driver because of a safety problem with the car, and have it all monitored by the FIA to make sure it isn't abused. |

Usual Sky accuracy. Vettel DIDN'T lead from start to finish

![]() If they were to get rid of radio comm's they could replace it with some kind of telemetry-based super-bright "alert" light to remind the driver to check their pit-boards or, in extreme situations, use two-way telemetry to control car for safety reasons. Thing is, it seems like the idea of really paying attention to pit-boards is something that F1 drivers and teams have just forgotten about and if they got rid of radio's they'd just have to remember how to use them again. |

He did essentially, another driver taking over during the pit stop phase doesn't really count. There was no doubt whatsoever at any point that Vettel would be in the lead again when all the cars had made their stops.

Perhaps they're putting their motor-racing business on the back-burner in order to focus their efforts on creating cartoons and producing a range of trendy sponsor-branded merchandise?
If so, they might want to re-think that. ![]()

Well, at least they're not jeering and booing at the black guy like they were last year, eh?
Still it does just go to show that the Tiffos give all none Ferrari drivers a hard time equally race is not an issue despite all the lies on here last year. Sadly repeated by you today. Pathetic attemp really. The booing of Vettel was started at Silverstone where he was booed even on the practice days. I suppose it would be easy to say this was due to standard British anti German prejudice. Sadly this practice has continued on from Silverstone. This week vettel spoke out about the Silverstone booing. All the UK websites I saw which ran the story were accompanied by fan comments saying we are right to boo you. It is sad that sports are becoming more partisan the London Olympics appear to be a catalyst for this. Team GB get loud we're the greatest. Then there was the great british summer of sport also partisan. I think its time that we have a respect champaign in F1. |

I don't say anything disrespectful not wanting a driver to win isn't disrespectful. Being part of a crowd of booing as a large mass at the time of presenting the award when the person is going to hear and be made to feel bad is completely different.
The journalists who go away and write articles that F1 is so boring because Red Bull won again are no better. Nothing is easy for Red Bull or Sebastian they have work hard for all their success and to try and diminish that success and say it should be taken away by equalisation measures as is being suggested on Twitter is against F1. |

Forza do you change your point of view about booing depending on which circuit the race is held at?

Alonso will be shown in the official lap chart as leading at least one lap so, with best pedantic hat on, Vettel didn't lead EVERY lap
![]() I think it is a bit too pedantic, what I'm sure the Sky commentators meant, and they were right, was that no-one except Vettel ever had a hope of winning that race once he hit the first corner in the lead. Ergo, he basically did lead the whole thing. |

Anyway, in other news....
During the BBC's opening montage for Monza they showed a clip of what seemed to be a desk and a chair on a concrete pad, outside, in a grassed area. Anybody know what that's all about? I'm guessing it's some kind of "momument" in remembrance of something or other. Anybody know what? I've never heard of it before.

I see Alonso moves back in to 2nd in the drivers championship and Ferrari in the constructors. Ultimately a battle Mercedes will win I think but pretty funny after the fuss Mercedes made after Hungary that this has been turned around already.

The booing at the podium is an utter disgrace from so-called F1 fans.
