According to Gary Hartstein, the simple fact he was unconscious means he suffered concussion and Ron Dennis is talking out of his bottom: https://twitter.com/former_f1doc

Unless of course, his unconsciousness began before the impact.

Those criticising Tony Fernandes for abandoning the staff spoke too soon. He is now saying he made it a condition of the sale that the staff would be paid: "We agreed in good faith to sell the shares to a Swiss company named 'Engavest' on the basis that Engavest undertook to pay all of the existing ...

When they announced Intel and Airbus sponsorship I thought they might be in for a last chance but it seems like those deals didn't bring much money.

An interview with his father yesterday: http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2014/10/jules-bianchis-father-speaks-its-desperate-but-jules-is-still-fighting/ “The situation is desperate.

Surely they would want McLaren's performance to get worse with the Honda engine, not better.

jamei

I am not a big fan of nationalism and this anthem thing with the drivers must be a massive distraction for them - apparently it's going to happen every race from now on.

No, that article just speculates about every possible scenario. I'd doesn't seem like they have any sources at all.

I am pretty sure Alex Rossi already has a seat made

jamei

Button coped very well when everyone thought he would be number 2 to Hamilton.

Anyway I subscribe to the theory that Alonso was intending to go Mercedes and McLaren weren't really thinking of having him. He's one of the top three drivers thought so they better try and fit him in somehow.

jamei

It doesn't sound good that the FIA statement reported he was "not conscious" rather than unconscious. I hope I am not reading too much into that.

jamei

Everyone has their own agenda as to why the ratings have fallen, to support what they already dislike about the sport. But no one really has a clue.

Anyone who hasn't won Moncao before

I suppose Red Bull will time qualifying in Malaysia with their own stopwatch and insist on starting the race in first and second.

jamei

How pathetic.

jamei

There won't be any race in Sochi at this rate.

I voted Mercedes last time but changed that to McLaren having seen it on track

jamei

Maybe it's TEPCO, looking for some positive public exposure with JB and Honda.

McLaren will be 24th:

No analysis of this era is complete without watching this:

9 weeks until the first test, so the car unveilings will begin before then. Then there's the pre-unveiling speculation and sneak previews to keep track of, not to mention the driver market.

28-31 January

I am more excited for this than I was for the last few GPs.

It will be very hard to support Lotus. They have gone from being the Renault works team to having no money and being on the verge of collapse, but through all that they have still maintained their position in the WCC. That's quite an acheivement if you ask me. They have 297 points and are pretty mu...

I like Maldonado because F1 needs a badman. Hulk is just another fast German.

jamei

"Pay Driver" to me means someone who wouldn't be in F1 if it wasn't for the money they bring to the team.

That's clearly not the case with Magnussen, nor Kyvat nor Alonso.

jamei

I wonder what would Hammy fans and Vettel critics would say if indeed the mercedes engine is 100 bhp more powerful than the rest and Hamilton walks away with the championship. Part of being a good driver has always been getting yourself in the best team to win. If he made the leap and it pays off, ...

jamei

I don't see him at Williams either, he'll want a decent budget to work with and a chance of championship wins.

jamei

It means the team aren't pushing hard enough with car development

jamei

Isn't Kvyat currently second in the GP3 championship?

He's chosen to renew his contract each season, so if it's true that he is not getting equal treatment, then that's his fault.

Perhaps he works for Pirelli?

Don't you see well with the current cameras? I dont see the point on making everything HD or FullHD when you can see everything perfectly most of times.

Vibration is not a problem at all.

We have already seen HD cameras in action during testing, and they were very nice indeed:

Either Red Bull or Ferrari will finish 5th or lower in the WCC

No more of this

I always much more intensely at the start (and follow launches and testing very closely), until it's clear which teams are going to dominate.

Ben Edwards is a bit annoying. His insistence on dropping the definite article from "the pit lane" and "the fastest lap" is infuriating and is unfortunately being picked up by the rest of the commentary team.

DC is great, easily a match for Brundle. Without him though the BBC coverage wouldn't cut the mustard and I'd find myself preferring to watch a recording of Sky rather than a live Beeb race.
