The introduction of traffic lights in F1

[Moose423956]

Having read that Lewis Hamilton drove into the back of Kimi Raikkonen in the Canadian Grand Prix, I was a little surprised to see that the Finn was waiting at a red light at the time of the accident. When were traffic lights introduced into F1? What will be next, lollipop ladies on the straight, a zebra crossing near the chicane? Sounds like a very odd state of affairs to me.

I think lewis hamilton got distracted when Hilary Clinton rang him up to say she was going to drop out of the race.
Am I the only one who thinks they are dead ringers ?

I can't see the likeness between Hilary Clinton and Lewis Hamilton myself.

Pathetic. It's like putting traffic lights on a motorway.
I think F1 is becoming so regulated (same type car/same engine sizes/same everything) and overburdened with red tape, it's like racing Scaletrix cars, less exciting, more and more boring to watch.

What?

It was a joke in very very poor taste - I just hope no-one saw it.

It included the word "Plymouth" if you want a clue.

Jasper Carrot said something like that - but suggested that controlling scaletrix cars would not be risky enough. So a "crash" would be accompanied by a whack round the head with a cricket bat!

Watch the motorbike racing instead. James Toseland came 6th in the MotoGP and Scott Redding came 6th in the 125's.

Didn't even make a mention on the news. Seemingly, Euro 2008 is more important than celebrating British success...

We all make the odd poor taster, sometimes our guile isn't what it oughta be
