I started to type something like "sorry if I offended you somehow" but I stopped for the simple reason that it would be total bullshit. I'm not sorry, I don't really know your problem is with this thread, and frankly I don't give a crap. So you know what? Over to you. Do it in a "useful" way. A "no...

Are you suggesting that JB has not won any titles yet at McLaren coz he had a better teammate?

chinki

I will have to look around at the betting possibilties for LH, next year - it would certainly be worth a few quid for a race win and even a top 3 in the wdc? (assuming the odds are good?) I don't think Brawn can do a Brawn again (you know what I mean) - but I am pretty certain they must have attrac...

He has raced for a decade now and in the last 6 years I dont see what he has done that can even be remotely considered legendary. So the answer is NO.

Until Vettel wins a WDC in a Minardi like Alonso and Hamilton did, he will never get the credit he deserves. He aint getting credit from his peers, that is for sure. I even saw a tweet recently where JB said Alonso deserved it more than Vettel. People on this forum can moan all they like but his pe...

When was the last time Alonso took kindly to his team-mate being #1 in the team? If by some miracle Massa manages to perform better than Alonso in the races despite the entire backbone of Ferrari giving Alonso preferential treatment, then the answer to this question will simply boil down to whether ...

I like how it's been totally ignored that Hulk was ahead of Hamilton at the time of the accident. No he wasn't. If he was ahead then they wouldn't have hit as he'd have skidded sideways in front of him. As it happens, they hit - He was alongside. Yes he was, watch the video. Hulk was ahead, Hamilto...

Jenson Button hands down. Without the SC and Hulk being involved in a crash, still Button would've won it in the end when it was raining hard at the last 3rd of the race. I don't think Hulk's FI could resist his Macca in such a situation. And without the SC Button and Hulk would've beaten the 3rd f...

@OP How can you effectively judge all the drivers one by one when the cars they drive are all different, some even 3-4 seconds a lap slower? In any case, this poll will obviously reflect the bias induced by short memories and recent races. If you take the poll just before the beginning of the new s...

So was Vettel's penalty deserved when he T-boned JB in Spa a couple of years ago?

Alonso and Ham have already said it - It is Newey winning the races silly. And here I am, thinking Hamilton said yesterday the Mclaren has been the fastest car. How silly of me. Alonso said it for the obvious reason - to try and destabilise Vettel. Which obviously didn't work. just look at the last...

I like how you left Hulkenberg in but Hamilton out. Sense? There's none to be found here! Driver's of the day for me were Hamilton, Button and Massa. People voting Vettel as driver of the day has to be a joke. He caused his own accident at the start. Overtook Kamui under yellows. Had places gifted ...

Alonso and Ham have already said it - It is Newey winning the races silly. If forumers out here think they know better, I am happy to leave them alone. Lewis and Alonso are better drivers than Vettel is and still by quite some margin. Lewis and Alonso had a flawless season whereas Vettel's mistakes ...

This may be the only time i ever say this, Chinki: you convinced me. Racing incident it is but he deserves the penalty for damaging another driver's race. Yup that is how it works in F1 now and on this high and after an incident packed day, I am off to bed now. You keep your nose clean around here ...

Whilst i agree Hulkenberg may have cost McLaren 2nd in the constructors championship, which is bad! I don't see him as another Maldonado at all!!! , that's unfair the guy ha done really well this season! What Hulk did today was right out of Maldonado's book in Silverstone and Maldonado got penalize...

In a season of 20 races. You cannot point your finger at one thing, Ferrari shot themselves in the foot by designing a poor car to start with. Red Bull's strategy call to pit Vettel at Canada got them a 4-point swing which has proven to be crucial. In fact if Vettel had not pitted that day, unlike ...

chinki

All Im saying is that contact happens in racing even F1. We have seen plenty of incidents this year where there have been zero penalties applied yet a few have had penalties. To call Formula 1 a non-contact sport goes to show what your thinking is. You feel that any contact is too much contact and ...

Carry on building the RB9.

Have the tyres and understanding them been the key to success and will they continue to play a major part next year or it is the car that mostly makes the difference still?

So is Newey really the one man magic team or is it the people around him that make the real difference?

Castle, Two & a Half Men should see me through. I had missed seasons 1-7 of Two & a Half Men and am downloading them right now. And a repeat of Castle season 1-4 is long overdue.

Can't pinpoint a single event where the championship was lost. But certain things do stand out. What got me thinking was just how crucial vettel taking button in Abu Dhabi has turned out to be. He could've settled for 4th and played it safe, but in hindsight what a massive contribution! Sad times a...

So he should've said to Lewis: "Sorry for making the error of not having any control on my car and hence having nothing I could've done about it". That doesn't make any sense. What has what he should have said to Hamilton got to do with it? You will find he usually doesnt. Move on, you are banging ...

I'm not fond of punishing drivers loosing it (as long as they do not make a habit of it). All these penalties are annoying me. If this goes on the drivers will not go for any gap anymore ... That train has long left the station. F1 is clearly headed towards being a no contact sport and I dont think...

In a way, I can understand Sauber's position - he hasn't performed, it's that simple. Time to give someone else a chance. I doubt it has as much to do with performance as it has to with money and sponsorship. There wasnt much separating Perez and KK at the end of the season and given that Perez had...

Among all the mayhem, this one takes the cake for being the trashiest post of the day.

So if you lose control and spin into another car whilst trying to overtake it and thus ending his race you do not deserve a penalty? Crazy. No because the rear stepping out in that situation was unexpected. Is losing the rear driver induced? Maybe while accelerating, but on that point it was totall...

chinki

How can you penalise someone when there is oh one dry line?! And you woulda thunk an F1 driver with a few seasons would be smart enough to realize that and stick to the dry line. He was never gonna make it stick on the wet line and he should have backed off, but he will learn just like Maldonado an...

chinki

What was he supposed to do? He was ahead, he lost the rears. I don't think the penalty was deserved because he clearly did everything he could and left enough space for Hamilton, but the way the rear just snapped out on him unexpectedly was beyond control anymore. Then Hamilton says on the BBC inte...

So bring in those water sprinklers that Bernie wants and we can enjoy all the races. Wet races due to their nature will always be more exciting than dry ones and that is a no brainer. Wet races are always good compared to dry ones, that is a no brainer. All your questions (bar the championship one) ...

@OP Based on your logic about deserving the win, shouldnt it be the Hulk who deserves it coz he was definitely faster than JB all through and was even ahead? He would have deserved it more, but he made a mistake at a crucial moment. Besides, JB might have been able to catch and pass him at the end ...

chinki

For me it's Lewis. We can't speculate what would have happened if he didn't have so much bad luck. Would he have crumbled under the pressure of the title fight? Would he have won all the races he lost through misfortune? All we can say is that Lewis put himself in the position to succeed. That's al...
