I'm sure Ted Kravitz on Sky said after Malaysia that Ferrari managed to poach some top Mercedes engine men as well as Jock Clear. I'd put it down to that. Such gains in such little time? And I don't know about the Merc engine men but Jock Clear is yet to start working for Ferrari (gardening leave) ...

Sorry, the licence fee IS optional. You only have to purchase it if you want to watch live BBC broadcasts. Incorrect. ANY house with a TV must pay the licence fee. Sorry but that is not true. My workmates has a TV and doesn't pay it. All legal. Check here http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check/viewtopi...

You all watching Sky? Race control have made a complete balls up of it.

I do believe I broke the news here first

I know what you're saying, but loads of leaders have saw their leads cut because of the safety car. That's what happens and Jenson has benefitted grearly from gaining under safety car in the past. Deserves win though. Can't take that from him.

It was red and yellow for slippery track. Over.

What's a pofium?

Seriously though, some have been good, some have been awkward. There's not been a great deal of action between the top 3 finishers to make for a decent interview anyway.

As a Hamilton fan, I chose...Alonso.

Hamilton's defensive driving today was fair. Hard but fair. No contact, no weaving. Just putting the car into the correct position for each turn. With TFLUFF's logic, Jean Eric Vergne would have got a drive through for defending against Hamilton too. And his driving was good today.

I thought Lewis was a dead cert to stay at McLaren, but after James Allen's blog yesterday, I'm now convinced he's off to Merc. What advantage, if any, would Merc have in 2014 with the new engine regs? Also, when does McLaren's engine deal with Merc end?

Ted Kravitz just reported in Twitter that Hamilton has been called to the stewards to explain himself for apparently blocking Rosberg. Just can't stave off controversy, can he

I camped at Silverstone last year and visited Towcester on the Saturday and Sunday nights for drink and pub grub. We were charged about £20 for a taxi which should have cost half that. It was a O.K because it was shared between 4 of us though. The traffic was no bother as we went at night. Someone w...

Nothing really Apart from the yearly "abandon party to watch Aussie-GP"-event.(then falling asleep before the start) That's pretty much me. I've got last years McLaren top that I rarely wear, and some F1 books and games. Most folk that know me know that I'm pretty obsessed with F1 but compared to o...

What if you use DRS but come off the throttle slightly and therefore deemed to have slowed down under yellows and kept to regulation time? Or is DRS under yellows just completely banned?

@hairy_scotsman. It's been said by others here before (on the old forum I think), that although I personally don't post much on this thread, these photos are greatly appreciated. It's great to see the circuit taking root and must be quite a project. Must be pretty good for local enthusiasts like you...

McLaren. They exist due to their sponsors contribution. However, this may be a massive mistake to leave their 2 drivers out of the testing. Bahrain showed that they aren't the quickest car about at this moment. Good luck on your sponsor duties boys, but if I were an F1 driver, I know where I'd rathe...

Depends on what your view of PR is really. I agree that Lewis is never gonna be the joker in the pack, Jenson and Vettel beat him there. However, put him in somewhere that he naturally enjoys and he's got great appeal. Take the BBC's jet ski race around the Thames last year for example. While Lewis ...

Anyone watch it today? Any news if Plato received a penalty for his 100 yard push on Flash?!? Hope he doesn't, what he did wasn't too dissimilar to Jackson on him earlier. I quite like the lax BTCC rules, which makes for more exciting and daring racing, BUT... Plato made out that Shedden hit the br...

Great race today, China definitely is the best Tilke circuit. So glad for Rosberg and bodes well for the season. Nothing worse than a dominant car wrapping up the season by Easter.

When I created this thread, I was of the opinion that yes, Sky's coveage is good, but I prefer the BBC's team and approach. Today, I flicked between the 2 channels but found myself sticking more with Sky. I'm warming to Lazenby and Georgie to be honest. I think that just getting Sky installed in tim...

I hope he is not penalised, but I wouldn't be surprised. He moved swiftly for his one move, but taking the line again I'm not sure. First impressions are he took the line again, which kinda looks like 2 moves! Haven't a clue till I see it again.

Just watched the 'F1 show' from yesterday's Sky F1 channel. Susie's now got hell of a German twang! Is she the 3rd driver? I want her to do well but she is not ready to step into F1 I'm afraid.

Thing is, since the 2010 points adjustment, the rewards for taking risks and going for the win far outweigh consistency. In old money, yeah, sometimes not worth risking a solid 2nd place 8 points for the 10 point win. Now, a win is far more rewarding. It's then trying to find that balance of when pu...

Not really relevant but I've been marking undergrad lab reports most of today. I'm actually offended by how crap some of these are. When I was an undergrad I didn't really put any effort in, but they were better than these. If this is the next generation, then we are ****ed. On the whole, the sun l...

To answer the thread titles question, then yes, Sky was worth it for me. I was paying £42ish per month for Virgin XL TV with V+ HD, 10mb broadband and basic phone calls. For Sky I am now paying £42.50 for Sky + HD entertainment extra TV, unlimited broadband and basic phone calls. My Virgin was due t...

Its great to have the current field of WDCs but cannot help thinking that of the 6 current WDCs, JB and Hamilton are definitely the bottom two. Unproven as yet as far as WDCs are concerned and haven't yet demonstrated that they can drive well under pressure when the WDC is on the line. JB got lucky...

Mines reads a little weird. Basic wage would have been $2816, 92% of the UK average and 190% of the world average. However, as it's the last week of the tax year and adding overtime, my final monthly salary is $3684, 120% of the UK average and 249% of the world average. It's a cliche, but I'm still ...

That theory does not apply to ex wrestlers. Did you not see Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Expendables. He was fantastic! Did you not see Kevin Nash in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.

I went to see 'Act Of Valour' at the weekend there. Great camera work, good action, poor plot, horrible acting.

I've skimmed this thread and saw a lot of confrontation that I won't bother joining, so in response to the thread title and original post, it would be unwise of anyone to bet against Button right now.

Don't really understand Lewis's strategy and race instincts at the beginning of the race. What is the point of working so hard gaining pole position if you are going to concede it so easily. From what I could see, starting in pole Hamilton was on clean side and needed to turn in and cover Jenson on...
