Do you think Hamilton and Mclaren will find a new way to cheat this year or do you believe with the criminal investigations they will keep it on the down low for a minute.  I forgot they more than likely made Alonso give up his set up info so they could use those settings on Hamilton's car, because you remember that when they were taken away last season that Hamilton's pace dropped off.


I couldn't agree more with McClaren and their cheating, Avery. I hope that's behind them though you know F1 is straight up cut-throat and they will do anything for the slightest advantage. You'll note I was careful to say Hamilton fan and not a fan of the team. Yes his pace dropped off a bit and he suddenly made some mistakes but I think he shows great promise. Until there's a viable American driver in F1 or Eddie Irvine makes a comeback I am fairly ambivalent.

Although I love F1 I do have a disdain for the apparent caste system which exists. The one exception is Toyota who has thrown a ton of money at F1 and come away pretty much empty handed. I am bored with the Mcclarens, Ferrari and Renaults although they continue to push.
