Re: Mclaren - Too much talking and Zero Delivering!!
McLaren are following a path already trodden by Williams. * They've declined the option to become the "proper" works team, no longer get first choice best engine and even worse will have to bet on another returning engine supplier (BMW/Mercedes, Cosworth/Honda) * They've chosen (or favoured) driver...

Re: Ferrari is an embarrassment to F1
From a neutral POV, I don't consider Kimi and Alonso to be in the same level at all. Alonso is a much more complete driver IMO. This year should prove that.

Re: Red Bull could
Speed is not an issue for Red Bull, speed over race distance is the issue. I believe their "long-run" pace looked allright in FP2? I don't think speed was ever the issue. Reliability was (well, "is" until they prove they can complete races). Sorry, I actually meant keeping the speed over the whole ...

As a McLaren fan I am conflicted with this and have been since the rumors. Yes it's great to see Magnussen get a chance, but I feel sorry for Sergio. He moved with high hopes and landed a bad car. Bad car + 1st year in a team + high expectations = too much pressure = failure. I am sure he actually f...

Re: Sky testing 3D
The 3DS is no comparison to the large format 3D in cinema or TV.
I have to say, on my 59" Sammy it looks amazing! The depth of field really helps placing the cars distance better. (Like the players on a field in football)
Well done SKY I say.
I do wish we had Georgie in 3D though.
