I was sitting here fuming at Andrew Davies team mate battle on the PF1 site (Hamilton winning against Rosberg!!!??? I am sure they do it to gherkin people off and don't even open it up for comments) but your article has made the world right again. Well done, great article and will read yours from no...

I like the one Alan Jones said were Ferrari had shown interest in him and wanted to sign him up to race for them in 1978 (I think). He was told he had to come and meet Enzo Ferrari to discuss the drive but the whole matter needed to be kept completely secret and under wraps. Jones made a good effort...

At Imola in 1982, Vileneuve, dissapointed by Pironi's behaviour, looks somewhere in the distance during the ceremony. The plate that was given him for the 2nd place had an interesting history. It's told by Jonathan Giacobazzi, a member of the Giacobazzi family (notable vine producers) that sponsore...

I may have been the over 70, so apologies for boring you about a long forgotten race. I must have assumed that an F1 fan would be interested in the history of the sport. Guess the article wasn't written by an F1 fan with quite the same level of interest. Some just watch the season of the time, some...

This is inspired by an article in January 2014 Evo Magazine and felt it would be funny to do a similar one for our forum. Add your own. This is a snapshot of a typical day on the Planet F1 Forum Someone enquires innocently whether Vettel is the best driver ever. Three say yes, 8 say "It's just the c...

Just to be clear the penalty was for Massa crossing the hatched line which you can clearly see in the pics above rather than crossing the white line as Hamilton was doing!

Jules_b

As of now Massa is in good form so I understand the probability. Next year, Williams Mercedes can be a team to watch out for. Sad for the 1 race winner, seems he was struggling in a ever so struggling car. He may quit F1 altogether. What because they have signed Massa?? Hahahahahah okay whatever Wi...

Jules_b

It's not the fact that he is boring but that his car is so dominant and he drives it so well that he is able to do the work in the beginning and manage the gap for the rest of the race! They have found a good formula which will remain until the others catch up or the rules are changed.

I saw a quick flash of something curious and then it struck me that the national anthems on the podiums were filmed in a bit of a strange way (alot of close ups). A bit of research and this is what happened... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0e3_1377556857

Anyone got any ideas how much these teams pay for these helmets? I a sure much more than he standard equipment that these companies sell to the mortals!

Jules_b

Ha I forgot how much I missed Villeneuve from the F1 scene. He does speak his mind though whichis nice.

BTW anyone noticed the scars at the back of his head?! Previous hair transplant op?

Truly awesome!!! How can any F1 or MotoGP driver justify having a girlfriend or wife?!?!?

I always get the impression that Lazenby asks a question, and then instead of listening to the answer, is listening to his earpiece for the next question so has a very vague reaction to the first question and blurts out the second. I also get the impression that Brundle does not always like his ques...

Did anyone notice behind Jenson Button and Hamilton in their post race interviews there was a very self conscious Lee McKenzie in the Sky footage. She was on the other side of the driver intervew area waiting to do her interviews and was clearly slightly unnerved at being in the Sky shot. She kept l...

Jules_b

I never understood the hype for him. Above average yes but not Hamilton/Alonso etc level. Not as good as Rosberg but better than Senna. I heard the same hype for Sutil and I ask where is he now? I did hear the same for Perez and didn't understand until Malaysia. easily better than Alonso. He's not ...

Jules_b

forgive my poor memory but wasn't there some gay rumour that surfaced when the whole Piquet crashgate thing was going on?? Cannot remember who was involved (dont think it was Piquet) but it was about a gay relationship within F1 that was quickly swept under the carpet!

Jules_b

I got a real fright when I read that article!! Not nice at all and really hope nothing escalates there otherwise there will be some heads rolling

Jules_b

What's unbelievable is why you think conspiracy is unbelievable! So, when vettel crashed and horner took webbers front wing and stuck it on vettels car....if they had done it without webber knowing...you saying they wouldn't do it????? So when Alonso, driving in the McLaren sat in the pits for 5 se...

I agree Johnny Herbert is very good and appear to have more of a bond with Brundle than Hill does.

Jules_b

Wasn’t there some guy on the old forum who had come up with some top secret way of comparing drivers based on stats and taking out a whole load of factors. I think his name was POD or something. It would be interesting to see his stance on where Prost is vs Senna and indeed all other F1 drivers.

Jules_b

No it was the name of the oringnal thread. I know it was the original name. But we have no need for the original name anymore as the scope of this thread has changed. As it is now an official sticky the name should reflect that. I agree! The original title has no bearing any more on the topic, Upco...

Asking about which season had the most actual rainfall would be a tricky one though!! Right, careful analysis of the statistics leads me to say that 2008 and 2010 had the most actual rain fall in the season followed by 1975. When you take the average amount of rain over a season to number of races ...

Jules_b

1. 2000 and 2008 with 6 wet races out of 17 2. 50% of races were wet in 1954 Of course a wet race can be occasional drizzle to torrential rain but I believe all the above are classed as wet races. http://f1-facts.com/statistics/weather Asking about which season had the most actual rainfall would be ...

Heidfeld I think! When his car caught fire last year

Barrichello is great in this BTW

Wow so many people off topic talking about Vettel, Senna etc!!! It would be great if there was a transcript on what Mansell was yelling to his team

Jules_b

Thankyou all for the replies!! Some very interesting points and it looks like I have a lot of reading to do

I understand that the Senna movie is biased but I will read the Senna v Prost book as well as other suggested readings and will promise to keep an open mind of Prost going forward

Jules_b

From reading biographies on Bernie and Senna he comes across as a guy who had a power struggle with Bernie, lost, got paid off, favoured certain drivers (Prost over Senna), changed the rules to suit his own agenda and spoke in a extremely arrogant way to drivers. Generally seems to be an unpleasant ...

Jules_b

Decided to see the movie Senna again for the umpteenth time yesterday. It caused me to read up a bit on Prost as I was not watching F1 when he was around. I have to say that although he is in the top three most successful World Champions of all time it does not seem he would be someone I would be pa...

I forked out an extra tenner for Sky HD with the F1 channel – In general I think it is working out well. I am not sure about Lazenby. He comes across a bit shifty (don’t know why!) and he has a nervous, fake laugh which is mildly irritating me but I am hoping that he settles down. Georgie is pretty ...

Looking forward to Smedley working with Perez at Ferrari in the future! The best thing for Massa to do is to join another team (Sauber?) with a clean sheet and rediscover himself. Once he escapes the shackles of his past and has a clean sheet I am very confident he will find his form again!

Jules_b

Wow that is the most incredible weekend ever Cakewalk!!! It really is. How did you come by this access? IE I guess you have to be a sponsor or competition winner to get that access??

Jules_b

wow some reaction to this thread!!! To be honest this video is exactly why I love Hamilton and I wish he was back to that again!! His cocky "sugarplum smile" was writing cheques that his driving could cash and I truly hope we see him back to his old confident way again soon. How great would it be fo...

The two Torro Rosso drivers are going to be pretty difficult to distinguish!!! Not much difference there.

I love Raikkonen, Kovaleinen and Jenson's helmet designs!!

I slipstream other cyclists on my cycle to work. Oh and if I am driving on an empty motorway I take the racing line to get there quicker and save fuel!!!

Jules_b

I believe there is no such thing as "the same car", unfortunately. Any car, no matter how crap or great, will always favour certain drivers more than the other. Not the best of examples but Rubens spanked alot of people on the Top Gear track!

sorry about the query on REALLY old news but... Last year everyone had a good old laugh at Eddie Jordan speaking to Vijay (Owner of Force India) and when he turned round to the Indian gentleman next to him, asked him who he was, was answered " a brother" by the said gentleman, Eddie proceeded to go ...
