Chart of Lust
1. (new entry) Head to head pitstops - some more old-fashioned F1 excitement
2. (new entry) Platitudes - enjoying "coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't count" from Webber
3. (new entry) Jubilee chic - a Union Jack tacked on to Webber's helmet design and a half Vodaphone, half flag offering on Jenson's cap
4. (new entry) HRT cream and gold overalls - 70s classic styling for the boys at the back
5. (new entry) Rosberg - for his "go faster tablets" quip during Brundle's track guide. Try that at the Olympics and they'll have you urinating in a cup faster than McLaren can change a set of tyres.
Chart of Loathing
1. (re-entry) Whinging - displayed firstly by Schumi about the rain (!) then the usual "tyres not working" from Button then Hamilton in-car about his puncture
2. (new entry) Sky race guide with the McLaren drivers - like the Virgin media ads for those that haven't seen it, lots of pointing and swiping at nothing. Pretty much like their driving.
3. (new entry) Fan blowers - cooling the drivers. I think they should return to using large palm leaves.
4. (new entry) Jubilee chic - ubiquitous, enough already
5. (new entry) Not-quite-pink-enough - a la Papa Button's shirt. Not quite lucky enough for a win.

GB GP - "Great stuff. Another great day for us"
On the Saturday it looked like the race was going to be an cracker: wet weather forecast and Button qualified 18th, going out in Q1, so will be overtaking through the pack. And didn't we go on and on about the weather. I would like to point out that Wyld Stallyns and myself sat through a whole race of that weather! Did anyone give us a medal?
It turned out to be my most disappointing race of the season, which is fairly damning criticism when you consider we have had Valencia. All you folk who thought Petrov was a bargain, if it looks to good to be true and it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Maldonado is turning into the bullied child of this year's class. I was going to say that he is the new Kobabashi...And Lee MacKenzie, what a stirrer!
Ultimately McLaren were nowhere and I'm not fully sold that Red Bull deserved that victory. Webber is definitely being ditched by Red Bull though. If Ferrari had a better second driver, where would they be right now?
The only person who truly triumphed out of the race is The Pitstop Princess! I've never led the FF1 league before, although I feel like Alonso, out front right now but for how long can I hold the pack off?
