Grid for tomorrow's race:

1. The Golden Boy
2. Hammy Hamster
3. Crumpie's mate
4. The mighty Button
5. Who cares? ;D

Bit of a dull race with the Golden Boy winning again.

The Spanish Flapperjack tried to liven things up by running into the back of an ailing Hammy Hamster.

Result:

1. The Golden Boy
2. The MIGHTY Button
3. The boring German
4. Crumpie's mate
5. Mobile Chicance
6. Spanish Flapperjack
7. Hammy Hamster
8. Kamikaze Kobayashi
9. The Old Cobbler
10. The flying Scotsman

For which he apparently received a 20 second penalty added to his time by the stewards. There is some justice after all!

Glad for Jensen, but McLaren found wanting on Lewis's strategy today. What on earth were they thinking putting him on the prime tyre with so many laps still to go?

What??? Why??? I think he penalised himself by doing it without the stewards getting involved, it was a racing incident!!

As opposed to the lunacy shown by Petrov in keeping his foot in over a rain gutter and his out of control flight back across the racing line which should earn a severe penalty for idiocy

It appears that Mr Hamilton got the penalty and not Alfonso Bonzo www.planetf1.com/news/3213/6865439/Whitmarsh-Penalty-was-fairly-harsh

Which is still bloody ludicrous!!!!

There were both penalised 20s, but in Alonso's case, it didn't effect his finishing position.

I assume Hamilton's "weaving" came on the lap before, as he kept Alonso behind.

If so, fair enough. But if it's a penalty to change lines more than once, then watch the Golden Boy's approach to the first corner.

But it would seem that the Golden Boy is beyond reproach. Remember in Australia, when Button was penalised for overtaking off the track but Vettel wasn't.

Two races into the season and already two instances of the rules being applied inconsistenly. It seems that Christian Horner isn't the only one up the Golden Boy's backside.
