Re: Jv vs martin brundle. who do you back.

Brundle lost his all credibility during his first year at Sky in 2012. Suddenly, he changed a lot of his views by 180 degrees, just so he would be on F1's side. It's very rare nowadays to hear Brundle criticise ANYTHING in F1, and if there's something that he clearly seems to be angry about in F1 h...

Re: When was the safety car introduced?

There was one more time between 1973 Canada and 1993 Brazil with SC - Hungary 1992. After one of the accidents, marshalls showed "SC" signs to drivers and SC was about enter the track, when they abruptly cancelled it.

Re: 2007/2008 - A modern age dark period

While 2008 had some good races, 2007 was a snooze fest in most cases. China and Japan were the only interesting races. Both Brazil 2007 and 2008 would not be remembered at all today if they weren't the final rounds. Apart from problems for Hamilton in 07 and exciting two last laps in 08 there was ab...

Personally, what worries me far more is the safety of other competitors and spectators - if 15 seconds are not enough for a double check up, whether the wheels are firmly on, then someone in RBRs crew is not doing the job, he's supposed to do. Conspiracy theories aside, this could've ended up in a d...

Why the hell everyone keeps mixing Maldonado in this crash? Even if he made a jump start, deal with it - he had nothing to do with the crash. Moreover he got tagged by Perez which ended in him spinning out few laps later.

Kobayashi has a great chance of winning. He was 5kph clear in 1st sector speed trap, where it matters the most. If he gets Button on the first lap, then he'll probably win.

It's not that much safer at all and it will actually lead to the first dead in years imo. If Silverstone had tarmac instead of the gravel, Schumacher would've died for sure in 1999. They forget that when breaks fail, Tarmac is so much more dangerous than gravel. Just have 2 meters of gravel between...

Probably the most bizarre thing I've seen this year. We saw in Canada that pitting with 10 laps to go when you are very close to the leader and on same, oldish tyres, is clearly the way to go.
