Re: Not another Max Verstappen thread but.......
Marc Marquez achieved his first podium at the 2008 British Grand Prix aged 15. He was not given a bottle of champagne, the other two riders were. They were also asked not to spray it at him. He has had plenty of champagne to drink since then, though.

Renault managing director Cyril Abiteboul has responded angrily to Adrian Newey's suggestion that the engine is the only thing holding Red Bull back in 2015. Technical guru Newey said during the weekend there was no light at the end of the tunnel with Red Bull's engine supplier, suggesting the powe...

Re: Teams Possibly boycotting Melbourne GP
I wonder how they think Alonso managed to brake hard while unconscious? I guess because its a fact the body can spasm during an electric shock. He applied 75kg of pressure to the brake pedal for a sustained period of time. Felipe Massa applied full throttle after he was hit by a spring in Hungary.

Re: Drivers cannot change helmet designs during a season
Everyone here is missing the point. The drivers are hardly outraging against this rule change. They simply do not care. The teams, and by extension the drivers, were part of the decision making process. If they had a problem with this it wouldn't have happened.

Re: Alonso vs The Hulk
Hulk seems to do a very good job on doing "a train" with his fast top speed cars. He seems to set up the cars to be fast on a straightline (so low aero setup) so this way he holds up the faster cars on corners and he doesnt get overtaken in the straights... meh. He wont win races this way I think. ...
