The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I'm very much looking forward to the German grand prix on Sunday as it is strongly rumoured Vettel has already draped his German beach towel over the winners trophy this weekend! :lol:

It emerged tonight that all but three of the teams are running illegal equipment and might not be allowed to race.


This is genuine, only HRT, Virgin and Lotus have rave overalls that meet the rules. The compliance patch from the FIA must be stitched into the neck, printed patches aren't allowed and the other 9 teams have printed patches.

Just stitching one over the old one isn't good enough either.

This is getting ludicrous.

That wouldn't surprise me to say the least wwodb. If you'd have told me KTFC would be playing at Nene Park a few years ago I would've had you sectioned under the mental heath act!

Go Mark go!!

If one of you guys wants to set this thread up again on the new forum when it's up and running feel free, just PM me to remind me to sticky it.

Thanks BR

Strange how CHDB seems to have going missing this weekend :lol: Fantastic result yesterday and I have to admit I didn't see that coming, before the race I would have settled for a podium finish so a !-2 was just perfect.

No RD, not missing, a great result for RB, have to say I had Vettel down for the win with Lewis 2nd, Alonso 3rd and Webber 4th - just hoped JB would get into a decent points position.

As is turned out, Button with a great drive for 3rd - well chuffed for him on that, Schumacher with a solid race at last, my god though, how quick was Rosberg off the line in that 1st lap and then for 2 or 3 laps after that. And the Merc straight line speed was pretty hot again. Get that thing right in the corners and everyone needs to be watching out!

Can't take it away from the RB team though, great driving from both and excellent tactics in the race from the wall.

Well done.
