There is an official transcript of that (and all) press conferences on the FIA site.

Where abouts mate? I can't see it anywhere, only the Silverstone Grand Prix Press Conference.

I ain't no Rossi fan but its sad to see him 2nd last in qualifing today.

Thanks for that, where'd you find it?

But reading the argument it just makes me think "what the **** is the point of all this? Just let the teams engineer their cars to the best of their abilities. Stop these stupid limits and preventions". F1 would benefit. The FIA have their nose to deep into the racing these days.

Great race so far, Lorenzo takes Stoner on the last corner - awesome riding. Onwards to Laguna Seca, good times.

Trulli dropped for this weekend, in comes Chandhok

[toythatkills]

That's cool, but I'll miss him on Five Live, he's always quite good co-commentating.

[Roddie]

Surely they'll let him race for the Indian GP too.

Ferrari very close to Red Bull again, in practice anyhow. Wouldn't bet against another Alonso victory.

[Bort]

Good race. Nice to see the lead being challenged after they'd protected the tyres.

Ricciardo had a strong weekend. Equaled Liuzzi in qually and only fell back due to being overly lenient when being passed.

[Charlie]

Was a good race and refreshing to see Vettel finish outside the top 3. Felt sorry for Massa seeing his 20 laps of brilliant defensive driving come to nothing thanks to his pit crew.

[abigsmurf]

Great race, been a while since there was such a well fought top 3

[cutmymilk]

Thing is, whenever Vettell doesn't win whoever was 3rd or 4th does. Webber took 3 points out of his lead today!
