Re: Any real incidents of a team sabotaging its driver?

Has anyone mentioned McLaren overinflating Alonso's last set of qualy tires in china 2007? Out of the 10 sets allotted for the weekend all of them were inflated to .2 PSI except for his last qualy set which was inflated to 1.5 PSI(nearly 8x higher and at risk of overheat/rupture) After that race the...

Re: Luckiest result ever

For me that'd be Jenson Button's first win. Alonso and Schumacher both starting from the back of the grid fight their way to 1st and 2nd only to both have failures and retire gifting Jenson his first win ever driving a Honda. Think it was 06 Hockenheim or Hungary I think, it's been a while.

Re: Behind the leader in restarts.

Does anyone know if the 10 car lengths rule behind the safety car is still in effect? I think Vettel or Hamilton got a drive through for exceeding that distance but that was 3-4 seasons ago, there have been quite a few restarts in recent history that drop off the safety car pace almost and entire se...

Re: What do you guys think of the DRS rules this year?

Cant wait for this change. The RedBulls and their Newey DRS tricks gained so much more per lap than their competitors in practice and qualifying, I'm looking for qualy battles to be tighter and more exciting next year.

Re: The most exciting and entertaining drivers of all?

Alonso and Hamilton are the most fun to watch because of the sheer speed and determination. Maldonado is fun to watch because whenever he gets a few seconds of airtime (especially a replay) chances are he's going to hit something or someone XD
