Hotel Bust-up between drivers, as tempers boil over

Confirmed reports have recently started coming to the attention of the F.I.A, after a fight broke out at a China hotel between two drivers.

Witnesses at the incident claim that Red Bull driver and soon to join Ferrari protege, Chris Taylor, was attacked in the hotel lobby by Renault driver Jef Beyens.

One witness had this to say:
"Many of us saw that Mr Taylor was walking through the lobby, as many of the drivers are staying at the hotel for the race weekend. We started to gather around him to get some pictures and autographs, when Jef Beyens suddenly ran through the hotel doors and attacked Mr Taylor, then and there."

It is understood that the attack was caused by the crash in which the two drivers collided when the Renault was making a manuvere to overtake and the RBR cut him off. The incident has certainly ruined Beyens' hopes of claiming the F1 crown for this season. When interviewed about the situation Beyens had the following to say:
"It's understandable that I am extremly annoyed about the situation. Here is a driver that is NOT in contention for the championship and who firstly wont let a faster car past, and secondly cuts me up to ruin my chances. I could've handled the situation more calmly, but my emotions were cooking. I have spoken with FIA officials straight after the race, and its up to them to decide courses of action."

At latest report, the FIA have determined that Taylor COULD see the Renault moving up inside him and deliberatly moved across, leading to a fine of £50,000. Although the exact figure is not known, it is said that Beyens' has been fined for considerably more for starting the hotel brawl. Furthermore, Beyens' has privatly apologised to Taylor and both are putting the incident behind them.

Go me!
 
Ergh, I've got the biggest moron for a teammate in my ChampCar game. On Phoenix yesterday I would have gotten an easy podium but he didn't have the Team Co-Op box checked off and he blocked me and made contact! :ouch: Relegated to sixth place, behind his fifth. :( And he won't even communicate with me at all.

And in my F1 game, whenever my teammate or I qualifies well, he has a bad start and drops like eight places. This bad luck better not carry over to this game.
 
No, but since England AND the UK was taken, I had to settle for it. :lol:

No I've been to Cornwall 12+ times and have family there.
Does that qualify me to have a car form there? :)

Davidson Allowed To Test With McLaren.

The FIA have allowed Lee Davidson to test with McLaren after the season has ended even if his contract with the team doesn't officially start untill the first race at Bahrain.

"Both teams came to an agreement and Lee (Davidson) will be allowed to leave his current Honda contract after the Brazilian GP."
- Max Mosley.

This wont be the first time Davidson will drive the McLaren after he tested for the team during the winter before this season where he was unsure of where he was driving.


Davidson, Winter S2.

Lee starts 16th today for the Japanese Grand Prix.

Other News:
Horton: I will win!
Ferrari To Sue Trendell.
Kolles: Taylor Only Wanted Money.
Kawasie: New Wings Suck.
 
OK...I'm officially obsessed.

Had a dream last night where I was watching the GTP F1 Japanese Grand Prix on TV. :lol:

It sucked - Blake won, Chang retired on the last lap, and as usual someone drove into Trendell. I got 3rd after falling to 9th with 5 to go. That's all I remember.

I scare myself sometime. :scared: Hope this doesn't actually happen in the real (fake) race.
