Weeeeeeeeeeeee we're back

I think it is right not be concerned. The sector times are all unimpressive. If Vettel said they went the wrong way (which can happen at any race for any time) then they just have FP3 to get it right. Let's hope they go the right direction. I have a bad feeling like this as generally Ferrari FP2 is ...

Usually what you see with P2 for Ferrari (well this year) has been indicative for the race. I watch all sessions and am struggling to think of them doing so badly in P2. I hope I just have my panties in a bunch.

7th, 12th? wtf? Something really special better happen or Hammy will prob get at least 3rd and Vettel fall further behind. I honestly don't believe it was sandbagging or more fuel - they looked light enough. This could be a disaster from the point of view of people like me who do not want to see Mer...

Germany's Sport Bild said Ecclestone, who thinks the engine rules in their current form have caused "the biggest problems F1 has ever had", will meet with Cosworth chief Kevin Kalkhoven in the coming hours.

(Source: Grandprix.com)

This is superb news if true. We need a cheaper solution.

tentimes

Taking what you all have said into consideration I am more convinced than ever that the only way out of this mess is to change to much, much simpler engines. Otherwise we are at the whim of the engine manufacturers Mercedes and Ferrari. Renault will never catch up and Honda (I think) will probably p...

Does anyone have any information about Cosworth and the new F1 engines? I have heard that they have a design but nothing more. Is there anyone in the know or just particularly knowledgeable that can shed light on whether it is a serious possibility or not? My own feeling is that it is definitely too...

Yeah Honda are in a huge mess. I don't see them working their way out of it for at least another two years.

Well, that race was interesting for all the wrong reasons. I thought earlier it would be a total borefest like last year.

tentimes

3some time!

Four laps to hang on Perez!

tentimes

Could Perez milk his tyres to the end and get a great podium? If anyone can, he can - seen him do it so many times.

Just about the best stop I have ever seen lol.

I hope he gets Botas.

Kimi has a problem - no straight line speed. The guy just has zero luck this year
Kimi has no luck since 2001. No surprise to me anymore...

He has the worst luck I have ever seen. Rosberg not too far behind either.

I think a lot of these crashes (including feeder series) have been due to the diesel spill which was over ALL the track. You see a car going in a straight line and just violently twitching into a crash. That could be residual oil on the track. I have seen so many of them this weekend. and what was ...

Oh no.

Well that's the championship over - I think I will switch the TV off again. F1 has become tedious. 30+ years watching the sport and I think it has never been worse.

I hate to see him playing lap dog to that dictator. But the Russian public probably view it more positively.

Does anyone else think it is really rude of the media to constantly interview drivers when they are on their way to the toilet? The last thing I would want going for a dump is someone thrusting a microphone and camera in my face!

Looks like a series of Mercedes is sweeping in to dominate the area, however, theres a small chance of an outbreak of Ferraris & a scattering of Williams. The threat of a sudden downpour of Mclarens has been ruled out.

Worth pointing out that in yesterdays GP2 race there was total carnage at an after the first corner - they red flagged the race immediately. So there could be some interesting developments at the start.

tentimes

I have a feeling it is going to be a horrible bore fest with little overtaking. My only interest in this race really is right at the start and whether Nico can work the clutch(es) properly this time. My guess is he may well get scared and fluff it again to have Lewis take lead, after which we will h...

Now that is the most interesting theory I have heard all day. I think you are on to something there.

tentimes

Both Ferrari and Mercedes supply engines to other teams. But the clear message is that the supply comes with a caveat: you are only getting engines while you are not beating our own team. This should give teams like Force India to reconsider being a customer of a competitor team. One would imagine ...

Does anyone think it's strange when Honda "dont have enough parts" for both drivers, as if another set is just outside the companies resources. I think it's more likely they want one new version and one old version on the same track to measure the difference on a level playing field. And that makes...

I know this has been glossed over before, but things are different now its backs to the wall time and maybe some leniency to the rules. I has been mentioned here that RB went to an engine builder and had a make up job done. The basics of that engine (the new design one) exist at Renault. Blocks, cr...

If they are nowhere near by the end of the year I can see him just walking away from the sport and concentrating on cycling.

What people seem to overlook is that there is actually a good chance they *will* walk away and take TWO teams with them. They have almost no chance of selling those teams as a going concern, for several reasons: Audi/Porche aren't going to buy in to being also-rans (they have no hope of winning wit...

It seems a bit weird to me that two completely different teams, both of whom have been through various different fortunes and financial difficulties and completely different circumstances over the past few years, both end up going into administration at exactly the same time. Especially with all th...

They have £40mil incoming next season, so that covers the debts. The Indian duo are in talks with them and will know about the £40mil. My guess is they reckon it will be a cheaper deal if they let the company enter administration first, so they can buy it cheaper (and have made an initial derisory o...

Inappropriate post removed.

If there is such huge disparity in the engines and they are largely frozen, then we could end up in yet another F1 crisis with only one team able to win the championship. That would cost a lot more money then opening up the development again. What I find funny is Horner blasting Renault, when really...

I think it would be sad to see Button get dropped. He is still a top driver, just needs a carrot, like a good car, to get him back in winning ways again. He is way too fit to be ready for retirement. I also think it would be a hard blow for it to take place in the year after his father died - that w...

Ferrari is looking where drivers go to retire their career now - not a winning team. I don't think he would fit in either. Ferrari requires a particular type of driver and he isn't that person.
