Lol, this forum specilializes in overreaction! Kimi and Nico may as well give-up, their championship hopes are clearly over already.

That old chestnut. Care to elaborate exactly how a car is designed around a specific driver rather than simply designing it to be as fast as possible?

Red Bull won for four consecutive years despite several rule changes targeted at reducing their advantage.

Can you blame Horner for requesting consistent treatment for the new dominant team?

Less ability to optimise the engine doesn't mean that it's a lesser engine. It just means you haven't got the engine's builders on your payroll, and your chassis wasn't developed WITH the engine. No, it means less opportunity to optimize the non-ICE elements of the power unit. Chassis/power unit in...

JB will be looked at in the same light as Tim and Sam. Dennis should go too as he is blamed for the whitmarsh failures and has no idea how to win anymore. Firing everyone in the team is pointless as the team needs to take the success this year with Jensen forward to hit the ground running for 2015....

It's just under 1,100 miles from Austin to Las Vegas as the crow flies. If Europe can sustain approx. 7 races within a similar area I would think the US can sustain 2.

No dotd from me - they were all too busy saving fuel to demonstrate spirited driving. Now if it were a 'most fuel-efficient driver of the day' poll I would vote Hamilton. He was the coaster extraordinaire!

Yes Vettel is exactly like all the RB juniors which is why Ferrari are about to sign him for a gazillion Euros. Because that's how F1 works - the most experienced and elite motorsport minds in the business look for average/junior/'can only win in a Newey car'/'reputation damaged' drivers, and lure ...

I think that to diminish Vettel's reputation based on his comparative performance in the RB10 is a little short-sighted and reactionary. Ferrari obviously agree.

I can not understand anyone who would pick their car based on what happens in F1. Depends. Mercedes have said that one of the benefits of signing Hamilton is that he opens up markets that have been closed to them in the past. How much that is worth to Mercedes I dont know. But when Valentino Rossi ...

I read that the reason Newey is distancing himself from F1 next year is not the restrictive aero regs but the fact that Seb and Dan are doing most of the development leaving him twiddling his pencil.

At its core, F1 is just entertainment, just like any other sport, including the Olympics. Any value we place on the competition aspect is purely derived and meaningless. That's the complete opposite of how I see it. I've played sport (rugby) at a lower level and it was all about the competition. If...

F1 has become too corporate. Get rid of the car manufacturers, bring back the independents, get budgets under control, bring back the underdog and, most importantly, make sport the driving force not profit. In a way it's grimly satisfying to hear about fans leaving in their droves as it sends a clea...

I really don't think there is any relevance or technology transfer from F1 to road cars as the design objectives simply don't overlap. Take a battery for example. In F1 you want to discharge as much current as possible as quickly as possible (within the 160hp limit) for the smallest size and lowest ...

One day people will realise what a colossal factor the car has in F1, more than I think most people think.

Folk claiming that Vettel can only win with a perfect car based on comparison with his teammate over 2-3 'clean' races in car still suffering teething problems come across as somewhat reactionary.

Based purely on TV interviews (because that's all I've got to go on) Vettel is the driver that I would most like to have a pint with.

First off I think Seb is a very very good driver. If he is great remains to be seen over the span of his career. Now that said.

Flavio Briatore understood this issue. While Formula One is basically technical, the casual fans know very little, and probably don't care.
