For me, it would have to come down to Nico Hulkenberg or Jenson Button for the Williams seat, but I certainly see a few roadblocks for both drivers. First, Nico - has been at Williams before, familiar with the team. However, I wonder if Williams would allow Nico the opportunity to compete in the WEC...

Rest in Peace Jules Bianchi. A young man taken well before his time, you have been in my thoughts since the accident of October 5 2014. A gentleman and fierce competitor simultaneously - we, the entire Formula 1 community, are going to miss you dearly.

Tous avec Jules Bianchi. À la douce mémoire.

Someone else found this on the Williams Facebook page (I don't have FB so...) http://scontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtf1/v/t1.0-9/11705213_1325308740866443_7983122804932904506_n.jpg?oh=a7c759fcd2b361bc6199d7aa4efd32d8&oe=561A929A http://scontent-fra3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/111749...

So, will you attend Malaysian GP or Singaporean GP? Given they are just 3 hours journey apart by BUS. I'll be going to both! When I saw they were planning this change I booked my annual leave straight away. I love the Singapore GP atmosphere (even if the races aren't sensational, the other events a...

I'll be heading to Canada in September with my brother for 3.5 weeks - starting in Vancouver, doing the West Coast / Rockies / Calgary areas, then popping across the border to Seattle for the last couple of days (very keen to see the Boeing Factory). Next year am visiting Japan again in March (with ...

C'mon Bottas - get onto the podium for the first time this season!

I'll be getting up in the very early hours of the morning to at least watch the start - race start is 0300 my time, I have a 12 hour shift at work starting 0700, might not be wise to watch the entire race live

SehnKhan

The leaked calendar present on the PlanetF1 frontpage is interesting - Malaysia moving to the latter half of the year as a back-to-back with Singapore - given that attendance at this years race at Sepang was quite low, I wonder if having these 2 races together might aid attendance? If I were to visi...

Pretty much the quick Finns for me in Bahrain.

Kimi for a classy drive on a great strategy, and Valtteri for a textbook drive to hold out a fast car in the final 15 or so laps.

SehnKhan

Interesting to note - now that the German GP has been dropped, Channel 10 is only showing 9 races live. There will be a 2 month gap between the Hungarian GP and the Belgian GP for free-to-air viewers. 2 months without F1 on FTA! As a side note - I wasn't happy in handing over money for Foxtel, but t...

SehnKhan

HAH! I like this concept.

Based on this - the round I'd be anticipating most with a salivating mouth would be the return to Mexico!

So... For round 1... was it a Four'N Twenty?

SehnKhan

Scrap that - Second driver Roberto Mehri according to Manor Twitter.

SehnKhan

I wonder if Giedo VDG will try and get compensation from Sauber, then use this money plus his sponsors to secure the second Manor seat?

SehnKhan

First really became aware of Ricciardo around 2009 during British F3 and started actively watching his career from this point.

SehnKhan

I ended up with Valtteri Bottas - spooky!

SehnKhan

Pretty sure it was Christian Klien at Jaguar in 2004 for me - I'm born in late 1982, he's early 1983.

Fast forward to 2015 and only Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button & Felipe Massa have more candles on their Birthday cakes.

Boy time has gone fast.

If they went to a more metallic blue like the watercolour image that also appears on the Sauber Facebook page - that would be a DRASTIC improvement. Not sure IMG linking works from Facebook, so I'll URL link it instead: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/t31.0-8/1397014_101530715...

Yep, woke to this news this morning and promptly bit the bullet to sign up for Foxtel. I always assumed it would go the way of PayTV for some time, but contractually Channel 10 had the rights until this year. When V8 Supercabs (cough) went over to Foxtel the writing was on the wall. So I've signed u...

I'm looking to do the same (but in reverse, Penang BEFORE the GP for me) - yes, there are many many coaches that do that route - budget for around 45 Malaysian Ringgit for the journey each way, and allow 6-7 hours by coach (is the information I've looked into). I'm sure there are busses from KL Sent...

Just noticed that Jean-Eric Vergne has started following Porsche Motorsport on Twitter - could it be that he's off to join the FIAWEC in the new third Porsche LMP1 car?

SehnKhan

Unfortunately I've only got from the 2003 season onwards, although I'd love to one day go back and purchase older seasons from the archives.

So from that current lot I enjoyed the 2009 & 2010 season reviews.

SehnKhan

I'm heading over tomorrow night AUS time, in Japan by 0800 Wednesday morning and headed straight to Nagoya. First time at the Japanese GP - I'll try and take plenty of photos (though I'll likely only be able to share them when I'm home in a couple of weeks time).

Looking forward to this one!

SehnKhan

Webbers first win (Nurburgring '09) was something special - the sheer emotion that followed on the radio was something else! Obviously I'd been watching F1 for many, many years prior - and Webber won't go down in history as my favourite driver ever, but as a fellow Australian who knew how hard Mark ...

And for the record, I got 13/21 - I couldn't resist the "White flag - Give up Maldonado" option so I would have had 14 had it not been for some funny business!

SehnKhan

Yes I've ordered and received MOST of my order. The replica polo shirt was delivered first, there was a slight stick delay. The replica Softshell was delayed by about a month but arrived quickly once sent (USA to my home in AUS was 11 days from date of dispatch). I ordered those direct from the Will...

I really hope Williams can convert for a podium today... am concerned about their rear tyre wear at this circuit though.

C'mon Williams, you can do this!

SehnKhan

It's certainly nice to hear he is out of the coma, but we don't know the true status of his health right now. I appreciate the media reporting he's now entering into a rehabilitation stage, but I do ponder whether he's simply been released to home care due to the fact there is nothing further that c...

Seems a lot of people think Lewis should be leading the WDC because he's won the most races.

Remember when Bernie floated the idea of medals deciding the WDC, and the uproar that generated at the time?

Seems a lot of people are always wanting the opposite of what they wind up with.

SehnKhan

Rubens and DC have signed contracts to race next year. Both have a clause in their contract confirming they are the "Number 1 driver" with this yet unnamed team (although I suspect it is HOW Racing). DC has been quoted with "It'll be my year next year" Rubens added "Blah blah blah I don't want to he...

He'll spin into the first corner and fall to the back of the field. Then over the next 76 laps he'll carve his way through the field, picking off drivers 1 by 1 (albeit with a hairy pass on Maldonado on lap 13 [unlucky for some - including Maldonado today], and an equally scary moment with Perez on ...

SehnKhan

Great drive from Vettel today. He had it all to play for and drove like he wanted every single position on offer. On the flip side, Ricciardo knew right from the start that third was realistically top position for the RBR today and drove the race accordingly - no point thrashing his machine with not...

"Inaugural New Jersey race delayed until 2021".

Hey, Going to the Australian gp next week and have general admission tickets for the 3 days. I was just wondering where the best spot is to watch the action? also I'd like to be near a big screen. Thanks I've always found around Turn 9 a good place to watch with General Admission tickets - up a lit...

SehnKhan

I wouldn't worry to much, unless there are a lot of safety car periods then i think the race will be completed faster this year than last. I hope you're right and suspect I've got my knickers in a bunch over nothing. The concerns I had above crossed my mind while watching the review DVD and my thou...

Under Formula 1 regulations, a race must run for a total number of laps to exceed 305km (with the exception of Monaco). Should a total of two hours elapse prior to the scheduled distance being completed then the leader will be shown the chequered flag and the race result declared (barring any interr...

Really hope that this is the beginning of a more successful era for my team Williams.

SehnKhan

There are indeed plenty of rumours and speculation around Williams. Rob Smedley has been linked for a long time. Martini rumours have been going around for months and now look like the deal is done. Petrobras were rumoured once Felipe Massa was announced at the team. Also Felipe Nasr is reportedly c...

"Who can stop him?"

Been watching it today on BluRay - only a single disc this year, approx 3.5 hours of footage and a bit light on the extra features, although this year it does appear to integrate the extras in with the main round-by-round review, so perhaps they're trying a different format.

Hi all, Looking for some advice on how to tackle the Japanese Grand Prix. I'm looking at doing the double (F1 at Suzuka and WEC at Fuji) and travelling around a bit pre & post races in the district. But with regard to the Japanese Grand Prix itself - what are your suggestions for best locations to s...

I hope Red Bull have a pointy nose also.

Then they can paint it to look like Sebs "Victory Finger".

From James Allen on Twitter: @CaterhamF1 revealing drivers next week. Sounds like @kamui_kobayashi will be one, possibly Marcus Ericsson or @AlguersuariJA the other? Hadn't heard Jaime mentioned previously, but if he were to join with Kobayashi I'd be pretty happy with that lineup. Although I'd also...
