He slowed down in turns 1 and 2 to give back the advantage. That is the telemetry that the stewards cited when clearing him. There is no rule against going through run off as quickly as possible. The stewards had also just given Kvyat a reprimand for the same thing. They stayed consistent by doing t...

As fun as that sounds that would lead to situations that I would never want to see happen. People are against stuff like DRS and what not for making the racing artificial and this would be a step worse again. The problem isn't the rules as much as the situation that would be created by drivers tryin...

I like to look at it like this. 2014 Rosberg finished the Australian GP 8 mins and 43 seconds slower than 2004 Schumacher. That is around 9 seconds per lap slower on average over the race distance. That is the pure difference in speed it took the respective teams to complete the race under their own...

Apparently you have to do it 3 times for the penalty

Well that's fair enough then. Maybe Ferrari should have gotten on the horn sooner to Massa.

James Hunt: "Who's that?" Voice: "It's Nikki Lauda, he's just been signed by Ferrari." James Hunt: "He's a nobody." What an utter load of crap! Lauda's performance with BRM at Monaco was what got him hired by Ferrari, so it's very plausible Hunt would not have known who Lauda was before he drove fo...

I don't hate him, I don't like that he thinks he is funny, but I watch this for racing and I also hate Dans smile. The reason why I don't like him in racing is because I like good racers not fast drivers. That is a personal thing I don't like Hamilton he gets poles and fails to convert them. This i...

Stupid. Will increase the speed differential between two cars, which is a safety issue.

Why on earth should Vettel move over for Webber.? Like Vettel said, Webber himself has been moaning on both sides of the fence forever, and Vettel isn't here to win a popularity contest. He's here to win races. Most people who have formed opinions about him, are either fans of Alonso, Hamilton or W...

Once you have your first crash... and nothing happens, you'll feel much more comfortable.

No refuelling. No super durable tyres. No unlimited testing. I can't believe anyone who endured the 2000 to 2006 era of F1 and to a lesser extent 2007 to 2009 would ever wan those thing back. It just boggles the mind. There used to be 2 exciting races per year. Tracks like Valencia you finish in the...

IMO James Allen has missed a key element in his analysis: that Vettel had been tussling with Hamilton and had almost lost second position to him. Don't tell me I have a flawed argument when you haven't even comprehended what I have been saying. It is still a flawed argument. Vettel closed in and at...

There seems to be an awful lot of upset people in here and my question to them is, why do you continue to watch? Because some of us believe things can be fixed. And some of us are willing to put in the effort to see them fixed. There are heaps of things that everyone F1 fan loves about the sport. A...

Seb and Mark's Pit communications. Just to show that Vettel did disobey team orders rather than the team shafting Mark. Also sheds light that Webber had much more life in his tyres at the end than Seb. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xyft1o_sebastian-vettel-vs-mark-webber-2013-malaysian-grand-prix-...

If he lost positions due to wheel spin, what good would even more power to the same wheels have done for him? It may sound complicated but it isn't that hard to understand if you break it down. I'll walk you through it. During the warm up lap there is a myriad of things that the driver and team are...

Obviously neutral as I can get it but I prefer a planted rear end so would take understeer rather than oversteer. I set up corner entries braking a little early and very smoothly until I start to just reduce the rotation on the inside wheel compared to the outside. I'll start the turn in smoothly an...

It's not the V8 Supercars Championship but the category just below it Exactly, it's the Dunlop Series which is the feeder series for V8 Supercars much like Nationwide is for Sprint Cup in NASCAR. I think he has a great chance of doing well. It will be really interesting to see how he goes :D. And R...

You seem to have missed the but where I mentioned I'd distance myself from said friend until it blew over. It appears Hamilton ash down just that. Now his friend has been given his second chance by the sport so he feels able to give him a second chance himself. That seems morally consistent to me. ...

The start of last year was a lottery nothing more. Random winner every race. Balderdash. In the first half of the season all but two races were won by previous, regular race winners in competitive machinery that was expected to be fighting for wins (arguably with the exception of the Ferrari at tha...

From actually watching them and not just relying on stats. Ricciardo has easily handled Vergne in qualifying. At the the start of the season it was by ridiculous amounts but Vergne didn't have as much experience. As the season continued on, the gap closed and Ricciardo was mostly winning by small wh...

How many people over 25 here with career jobs think F1 drivers work to hard? Because seriously from laborer to white collar I can't believe people would think F1 drivers have it tough. I mean even middle management would work harder than an F1 driver. ANd everyone will be doing it for far less perks...

1 Point for fastest lap isn't all that much. I mean over the course of the season there is a maximum of 20 points available then, less if someone outside of the points gets it. It is less than a race win over the whole season. But the point of the race isn't to push the hardest for 1 lap. The point ...

2006 Pole Position 1:10.680 Total Race Time 1:31:53.751 Fastest Lap 1:12.162 2012 Pole Position 1:12.458 Total Race Time 1:45:22.656 Fastest Lap 1:18.069 Taking into account weather and different refueling rules during the race it is still pretty obvious that the 2006 cars are about 2s a lap faster ...

Yeah, If heads should roll at Ferrari, this forum would want everyone fired from every team bar RBR. Funny though how teams that have actually stayed together the longest with a stable line-up are the ones that actually do better.

Not sure if you guys are serious or not? Do you actually want Vettel to win the title or do you want everyone else to win the title for him?

Very average race by Mark. He spent half of it either jumping out of Seb's road or spinning whilst jumping out of Seb's road . Yet he somehow still finished well ahead of Vettel. Vettel really impeded his race to be honest, but MW is a team player when he has to be (contrary to what trolls imply). ...

Unfortunately there is no such thing as "end of discussion" in planet-f1. Lets see whether and when this thread reaches its 10th page.... Yeah I agree with you.

So the solid yellow lights on the main straight signified red and yellow flags for slippery conditions because the marshals don't have access to that area and thus cannot put out the actual flags. If this is the truth then the drivers would have known about it and the overtake would be completely le...

Actually, I fear for Alonso's motivation if he loses. It's hard to have such a long drought despite driving so well. That is a good point. He has been driving well for a long time, arguably better than the 2005 and 2006 when he actually got the championship. He has also been perilously close and st...

This all feels like false hope. 1.6L 6 cylinder turbos limited to 15,000rpm with rumours that most won't even do that due to limited fuel flow. I'm thinking 550HP + KERS. Even with the turbos teams will endeavor to make then more drivable, with more torque available through a wider range. They won't...

The redbull is now the fastest car on the grid by a long margin. Newey and his magic has turned it around big time. Every race the updates just get better and better. By a long margin like 2 tenths maybe??? Webber was less than 2 seconds in front of Alonso before the KERS problem showed up. Hardly ...

I'm predicting another "where did that come from" flawless victory from Webber. Hamilton and Vettel close behind and Alonso just off the podium.

This reeks of a setup. Why would they make this live 12 hours after the Hamilton contract was announced.

Team radio: "And use 100 % KERS on this lap and then a 100 % to open the second timed" and "Yes 100 % on the outlap" No KERS problem, just the typical Webbo fan paranoia when they just hear the word KERS me thinks. Are you saying Martin Brundle is displaying "the typical Webbo fan paranoia"? Becaus...
