McLaren's totally f**ked up - apparently Hamilton and Alonson haven't been talking to each other.

Hamilton is 7 points ahead,isnt he?

This is a press statement from Hamilton yesterday.

For the record, Fernando and I are fiercely competitive and respectful of each other. We are both ambitious drivers who want to win. However, we are not drivers at war, as has been widely reported.

Although we did not speak on Sunday we have spoken since the weekend and continue to have a professional working relationship. In fact, Fernando and I plan to meet up over the holiday period.

As an individual in my first year in Formula One I have done my utmost to conduct myself in a professional and open manner. Of course, I have made mistakes, not least during the last weekend, and those are open to public scrutiny. I have my own regrets and have dealt with matters arising.

However, it is disappointing that inflammatory and untrue material is given to the media and published which may damage reputations. This inflammatory material is then commentated on by many others as if it is factual.

Whilst I wouldn't normally communicate through press statements, I felt it important to set this matter straight.

C'MON LEWIS.

Button got in to the top 10. 

  I take they they don't get to earn any points for the rest of the year.

Glad the drivers get to keep their points though.

£100m is a crazy fine

After half of the first lap the Belgian GP wasn't really exciting or eventful.


  McLaren may file a complaint against rival team Renault about alleged use of technical information.
