He will be employed more for his experience than current speed. Pretty much what I was trying to say. Not going to set the world alight but should pick up plenty of points and finish consistently. But would he chose to go to a team that needs that sort of driver, and could they meet his wage bill? ...

Compared to their coverage of just about any other sporting event in their repertoire, the BBC's coverage of F1 is actually great. It certainly blows MOTD out of the water. I'd agree with the people moaning about Suzi, she's a bit of a tool, but Ben is great. Like a few other people I've listened to...

I'll take him. He can live in the utility room next to the cat. I'm always happy to house unwanted F1 drivers. On a serious note, Massa is a solid enough driver, if not quite top drawer. He shouldn't come across any difficulty finding employment at a decent midfield outfit next year, providing he is...

I like Vettel as a person. I admire Vettel as a driver. Envy, even. I would never boo a driver for winning a race, unless he had obviously cheated to win. That said... I can understand the frustration that is causing people to boo. In Monza it was probably mainly due to the fans' Ferrari allegiance,...

No other decent offers out there so I wouldn't hold it against him.

At the very least, this should settle years worth of Alonso vs Kimi arguments. I stress should...

Given that 30 years ago yesterday Gilles Villeneuve died trying desperately to outqualify his teammate, who he didn't exactly have the best relationship with, I think that's a slightly unfortunately timed blog. Perhaps he means 40 or even 50 years ago, when I think there was a lot more respect betwe...

I still think that Hockenheim 2010 has affected him more than his accident. He has not been the same since. After all, he would have won that race, and who knows, we might have seen a much more positive Massa. I think that's a good point, his results were just beginning to pick up again after a slo...

According to a dream I had the other day, Vettel will lead the championship going into Brazil, ahead of Button, Hamilton and Rosberg. At Interlagos, Hamilton came back from seventh to win a rain-affected race and the championship, though he was gifted the win when Schumacher hit Senna. Vettel crash...

Why not? If Webber is such a whino it doesn't mean Kimi would fare badly there. He's not like Webbo in any sense. No need for favoritism for Kimi, just optimal equality if possible. I wouldn't ever want favouritism for Kimi, unless it's the last race of the season and there's a championship at stak...

Anyway, as KooTeePee said the OP probably did not intend to turn this thread into an Alonso vs Raikkonen one, but just to focus on whether Alonso's decisions were correctly taken. And on this point I think that the most challenging view was that of Ecclestone I quoted above, ie, that Alonso's real ...

Yes indeed they are.

Red Bull Racing 2013: Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Räikkönen. You read it first here.

"This "Super Kimi" nonsense is just that - nonsense. Great driver but his fans need to stop putting him on a pedestal up above the clouds in the pantheon of motorsport greats." That is not a dig at Raikkonen fans: it is a rather polite statement from somebody who is surprised by the hype around Rai...

I have no idea! There's so many possibilities right now that it would be difficult to rule out almost anybody, and we simply don't know which cars are going to improve and which ones are going to fall off the pace (we all have a good idea, but nobody knows for sure). I voted five because that's alwa...

So Webber swaps from a team where he is clearly no.2 to go somewhere that he will probably be no.2. Ferrari swap a driver who definitely can't get anywhere close to Alonso, for a driver who might occasionally get quite close to or even beat Alonso, but probably won't threaten him over the course of ...

I think his behavior is very much related to the topic. As much as people would like to believe that he chose to leave, he didn't. He was fired. He actually wanted to stay with McLaren, which was the right choice but he couldn't And because of his behavior he lost 2007, and I'm not talking about hi...

KooTeePee

I think its as simple as this: 1)Renault > McLaren = good move 2)McLaren > Renault = bad move 3)Renault > Ferrari = a no brainer I'm not taking the circumstances into account here. I would always say that if he had behaved well in McLaren, they wouldn't have fired him and he would have been at leas...

KooTeePee

I think you're absolutely right that the weight of expectation that comes with Ferrari labels every non-WDC winning year a failure, in the same way that Brazil not winning the football World Cup pretty much signifies the end of the world over there. I don't think, however, that Alonso's results at ...

Actually, it does "need testimony". Other than the 2007 Hungarian GP and the subsequent issue with Ron Dennis, what are some of these "tantrums" that are more than ANY driver in recent past? Maybe my memory is failing me, but you keep painting this bleak picture of Alonso, getting beat on "Umpteen ...

I'd obviously be happier with a Kimi win but yes it's looking very open this year which is a refreshing change from last season.

KooTeePee

My post wasn't directed at anyone in particular Fair enough, but again just be careful because it looks like you're saying that to anyone who disagrees with the OP. Looking at the posts, it seems most people are just trying to express disappointment at the OP's motives rather than trying to censor ...

i would think that people who cared would at least have a thread in the off topic section...anyway it's just my view,i find it funny that boycott threads and the sudden care for Bahranis seem to always happen around the GP time,the issue going on there doesn't only occur during the GP time. This is...

People are far too easily "offended", its almost fashionable now to claim to be offended at this and that like 10 years ago when every second person was either allergic to nuts or lactose intolerant Don't try to censor anyone just because you happen to be "offended" You think it's offensive, I thin...

i don't think one needs to be a mind reader to realize that people here only seem to care about Bahrain only when the race weekend is around the corner...i don't see any boycott threads anymore. Why would the boycott thread still be active? The race is over, presumably everyone that boycotted the r...

Boom, boom and boom. Give this man a medal. Tired of the liberal pontificating about things they won't give a s*** about tomorrow. I'm sorry, are you a mind reader or are you capable of telling the future? Or both, perhaps? Because unless you can do either, you haven't got a f**king clue about what...

Well said, it seems some F1 fans are just generalizing. The only other countries mentioned in domdonald's post are Libya and Syria... which don't have GP's. We can't exactly boycott something that doesn't exist can we? As for dom's point about us only knowing that the media tells us... well yeah, t...

But most F1 fans will watch the race regardless. I could also say I am saddened that many of you watch other TV channels and programs without realizing that they are supporting bad things that go on just like in Bahrain. This is the problem, people are making it to sound so bad and not watching a r...

As said I will be watching the race, there is a GP on and I will be watching it, for me it's that simple, no need to get caught up in stuff that goes on in the world all the time anyway unless you can really do something about it. And no not watching the race won't do anything to make even a slight...

I hate to say I told you so... but I did. This is just too good an opportunity for the people looking to cause trouble to ignore. Only an idiot (i.e. Bernie and the FIA) would fail to realise that.

I will be boycotting because some things are more important than watching tele.

He is more cautious and thx to that he is leading the WDC. However if Button didn't made that mistake in China he would leading the standings. It's funny that we see a more aggressive Jense than Lewis this year. However if this cautious approach brings him no wins I see Lewis getting more aggressiv...

Why would he let them risk the cars by letting them race wheel to wheel on track and then sabotage them in the pit stops? It was my understanding that team principles want their cars to win races?

Love it when these type of threads get bumped in circumstances like this. It's a bit unfair on the OP who was only commenting on what he could see at the time, and couldn't have predicted this result (few others did), but then again, you could also argue that it was unfair for the OP to judge Merce...

Who's up for boycotting the GP ? I will intentionally skip it, the Bahrain GP and all associated TV ads. Me too. Also looking for list of advertisers so I can contact them. Count me in.

So everyone is fine with China having a GP, UAE (Which is all of a race distance away from Bahrain, and also a classic Middle East oil rich monarchy) having a GP, Singapore (Probably the least democratic country in SE Asia) having a GP, but is upset over Bahrain.

From a Raikkonen fan's point of view, I would say yes Alonso is currently the best driver in the sport, and has been either there or very close for over 7 years now. I just happen to support Raikkonen, and I also think that on his day Raikkonen can beat Alonso, but in terms of the sheer relentless n...
