1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Well looks like Ferrari was practising with empty tanks. Must have had some high paying sponsors or Ferrari bigwigs to entertain for the last couple of days ::) Still rather funny to find Fred down in 10th though after reading all the news reports of how well he was going to do!

One of the best quali sessions I've seen in awhile, got to love Spa and its weather. Here's hoping for an equally exciting race. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

That was a good race, Spa never disappoints, as does Vettel. Really confirming he is a hot headed bell-end just of late.

PS What are Ferrari up in front of the FIA for? Have I missed something whilst on holiday?

Great race at Spa as always, never a dull moment. 8-)

Think this might have something to do with the Alsonso overtaking Massa and team orders at Hockenheim. Possible next race ban or loss of all championship points is on the cards. We will see what the FIA dish up.

That was rather entertaining!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Not the result I was hoping for from Sutil, but still a fine effort.

This one has CD, Craig, & I in a three way tie for first (150), and  Eno & Nemo in a tie for second (130) .  8-)

Going to be a nail biter to the end I think.  :o
