Some of the crowd are throwing bottles & cans onto the track.

It'll be black-flagged if that continues.

As Brundle said, vested interests have refused to stand back and compromise for the sake of the sport.

Indeed.

Err, that'll be the red flag, surely?

So it wasn't Ferrari that said no, according to Paul Stoddard it was Jordan

Will the US actually want F1 back next year.

Didn't the Indy boss sign a contract for another 5 years or so a while back?

Oh i do apologise for mixing my flags up

You know what i meant.

I think we're seeing the death of Formula One unless somthing is done about all these rules and reulations.

It's my considered opinion, that a Ferrari will probably win! Although, I'd love a Minardi to win.

See that beer can...?

That's the third can or bottle i've seen thrown on to the track, and that one seemed to be aimed at the Ferrari..

Nope it was Ferrari that refused the chicane option - Jordan was was of the 9 teams agreed not to run. But then went back on that - hence Minardi felt they had to run in order to maintain championship points...

[JonRB]

I think they might have to stop the race. In the name of safety. You know, the same safety that has emaciated our sport over the past couple of decades.

[Roop]

More to the point, what happened if it hit a driver...? Getting hit by a beer can at 200mph would cause serious injury if not death. Unreal.

Bernie is a complete idiot sometimes, he's the head of F1 and he should be answering the questions! John

I liked Brundle's comment that he was going to find Mrs Ecclestone to see if she will talk common sense after trying to get some comment from Bernie!

[Roop]

Worry not, it's probably Busch Light.
