Re: Kobayashi deserves a chance at the front

And why not Perez? he seems to have the edge on him. But yes, his racing and overtaking skills are impressive. By what rationale do you make that statement? What makes you think that Perez has the edge on Kobayashi? Well, that was my personal opinion, Kobayashi's got the better results so far, but ...

Kobayashi deserves a chance at the front

I've been watching this kid for 3 years in F1 and he has been impressive throughout. Right from day one he took that Toyota and out-performed the veteran Jarno Trulli. These last 2 years he has shown tremendous skill (especially as a wheel-to-wheel fighter) and has dominated his teammates. I think i...

Re: Vettel - a worthy champion

I actually saw him as the driver of the day. He made a nice pass on Nico and then put together a brilliant race. He took advantage of the safety car opportunity to gain a position but either way, he was on the podium. I think the Red Bull has pace that is similar to the McLaren on race days so perha...

One of reasons why he was unlucky is due to the fact that Hamilton should have pit lap 17 instead of 19. He lost alot of time because his tyres we're worned. Simply: wrong tyre-strategy equals loss of time (BIG TIME) Caused by him being behind Button as the leading McLaren driver chooses when to pi...

It's interesting how we try to make a season out of every race. He made a bad start but other than that, I didn't see any errors. The only real error was a strategic one where he stayed out in his first stint after his tires had died. That's where the huge gap to Jenson came from. Then of course the...

That's because they can't just use their DRS/F-duct whenever they want to. The Red Bulls may be faster on race day.

You've selected a handful of examples of mistakes that Lewis has made over the course of several seasons. I'm not sure what your point is though. My point is that Hamilton is too prone to silly mistakes to be considered "proven". When it comes to this I think Alonso has done a much better job. He c...

Re: This is where Vettel the 2 time Champ needs to pick it u

Vettel has nothing to prove. The manner in which he won his first WDC speaks for itself Part of being in sports is that there is always something to prove. Kimi Raikkonen won a WDC in 2007 and two years later he was let go by Ferrari. That's how quickly things can change. Vettel doesn't have to win...

Whenever one team begins to dominate, the rules will shift away from them. That's the way they've always done things. Just look at what happened to Ferrari in 2005.

Lewis has proven his mettle in slower cars. Last year was the worst of his career but in 2009 and 2010 he performed very well in cars that weren't the best. Alonso has also proven himself in less than stellar machinery. This season will be Vettel's opportunity to do so. It doesn't look like the Red...
