Re: Who's the king of tier two?
Webber goes missing far too much to be considered equal to the 2 world champions listed.
Webber is in the same league as Rosberg, Massa etc these days. Been around a while, can be superb on their day and anonymous for far too much time.

Re: Attending a GP
I've been to Silverstone, Spa, Melbourne and Hungary so far. Melbourne and Singapore for me this year. If anyone wants any advice about any of these GP's let me know.

Re: First time Grand Prix attendee: advice requested
Went to the Melbourne GP last year for the first time, agree with a lot of what has been said but a few amendments for me. I got there early on race day, on the turn 9 hill. It was scorching, ridiculously hot. Painful in fact. Anyway, I didn't need to have been there so early. When the race started ...

When red flag/safety car periods are so long that everyone follows the safety car for inters you know it's gone way too far.

I've loved having Jenson and Lewis at McLaren together. I don't like the Mercedes team and so obviously not a big fan of this!

Gearbox failure today which changes it from 24 to 52 is very unlucky. And very harsh. Now it's cancer v aids for the title for me

Re: Is driving for Ferrari really that special?
I think the magic of Ferrari fairy cakes is massively exaggerated. Alonso didn't care for them until he signed for them. Now they are his best chance of a third title so he's not going to say anything different. 1 title in 7 years is nothing too special.

Re: What do you make of Nelson Piquet Jr?
He would never have been a champion, but he could have been a solid midfield driver. Unfortunately he was at the wrong team. His podium was lucky but he still needed pace o deliver it.

Fwiw I've been in the paddock just before the start of a practice session and Lewis was incredibly focused. Lenny Kravitz was with Nicole and they were completely separate. He was in the zone. Got some great photos too.

I love the sky coverage. Brundle and Kravitz are the 2 best F1 presenters/commentators whatever you want to call them and they're still both superb.

Which drivers are you talking to now about driving for you next year? I think the first target would be Kimi Raikkonen. He's very fast and causes no trouble within the team. I could imagine him and Jenson working very well together - neither of them are likely to cause any friction. My next target w...

Just below the big 3. In a class of 1 really, much better than the chasing pack but his flaws mean he won't make it to the top 3.
