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...

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.

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 ...

Paul Di Resta on the right has certainly got younger looking! DTM must agree with him!

I really feel sorry for Sergio. Remember this? Almost a year to the day... http://www.planetf1.com/driver/20263/82 ... -next-year

Valen

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...

I have Nico Rosberg's helmet if anyone is interested.

If only these modern TV's and Amps had some sort of 'Volume down' option, the op could then watch the first 1 minute of SKY coverage without the audible terror he experiences.

I'm absolutely terrified

Here Here my friend! Will be doing the same in Belfast!

Bring in on people!! Monday off work for St Paddys, might have a few pints on Sunday!

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.

Valen

Damn! Gonna miss those profile shots beside the touchscreen analysis!

Valen

Means absolutely nothing... Wait till Melborne kiddies... ...is exactly what everyone said about the Brawns pace in pre-season testing. One swallow doesn't make a summer. Also, given that Grosjean was .6s faster yesterday than Button was on Tuesday (and seeing how close Di Resta and Ricciardo came)...

Valen

Outstanding effort from SKY! I was going to reduce my package and drop the 3D / Sports but now I will keep it.

Lets hope we get the whole season in glorious 3D!

Note: Onboard cameras are SD, so I don't imagine they will be in 3D, but still, bring it on!

Pit girls knickers. (Or bra)

Why let the truth get in the way of a good troll eh?

Valen

The Hulk would have been outstanding at McLaren. Perez is ok, young and getting better, but the Hulk has IMO the natural skills and speed to win. He will be one of the greats if he gets into a top team.

Valen

Why let the facts get in the way of a good biased opinion!

Valen

If Button cleans up his quali's then he will be scary! As a fan of both Lewis and Button, I can admit the Lewis was the best at Qualy, perhaps the best on the entire field. Button however is usually awesome in race trim, combined that with better Q3 performance... it looks good! With Lewis on anothe...

Valen

Yes he can. As for this hatred from certain people calling him NO GRIP and such, I gather his winning the 2009 WDC, coming second in 2011 and getting within 2 points from Lewis this year means nothing? Was that all fluke then? Just curious, because it comes across as ignorance when people spout off ...

Valen

It's not really his lifestyle thats the problem, it's his maturity.

He could be such an ambassador for the sport, and the british spirit, but damn he really let's himself down sometimes.

Valen

I would point out, that no matter what you say or do, you won't change the mind of haters. I do like most drivers on the grid, I also have my favorites, but the venom toward drivers from some people is embeded. It is interesting to hear their thoughts in paranoia, guessing and 'what ifs'. It's what ...

Valen

Button would be the least deserving driver to win the title imo If Button wins the title this year, that would be one of the most amazing achievements of a driver, and therefore completely deserved. IMO 2009 was an ultra boring championship... Button spent half the season with a much better car and...

Valen

The Hulk or Jamie A would be a good job IMO. (For a year at least)

Valen

I really do try to like Hammy, but he makes it so difficult for me! When he wins, everyones great, when he loses he talks through gritted teeth and looks on the verge of tears. I suppose thats why peoples opinions are divided. (Like mine)

I have posted seversl times about lazenby. He is completely distracted by evreything around him. If he spots a driver in the distance he gets all too excited- it was cringeworthy when they were told to get out of the RBR garage after the race after lazenby had tried to sneak in like an idiotic kid....

Valen

Totally agree with giving them time, I will give them a whole season!

I have to admit, the BBC coverage with it's humor and easy going nature made for a very enteraining show and I miss that.

If SKY can get J, EJ, DC and lee mckenzie I will be a happy man!

Valen

Had to comment after watching the race yesterday.... I love most of the SKY coverage so far. BUT... Damon Hilll KILLS the mood for me. He just stands there staring off into the distance thinking about how much money he is getting from SKY. Simon Lazen I just can't take. He asks a question, and then ...

The Ferrari hub has only three turns of the thread, while the others have six or seven. But what I find amusing is the new pit stop control light, it looks like Wall-E. You mean this ?

It feels like every day I am reading a report on how far off Ferrari is and Alonso has a statement every single race about how horrible they will be. In the end Alonso seems to do very well in most races... He has been in the points all 3 races and has a win for crying out loud. Today he proclaimed...

No reason yet thankfully.

Yeah, it could be a turnaround track! We will soon see!!

Valen

If any protesters try to harm or put lives at risk during one of the biggest sporting events of the year in front of the world media then they will lose a lot of support.

They are not stupid, this race will happen with minor incident.

Valen

I disagree. I find Hamilton very likeable and modest. Atleast he doesn't go calling other drivers idiots and cucumbers. I'm finding Button a bit on the nose lately. His bitterness over 2nd in China was unimpressive, come on Jenson if Lewis didn't have that penalty he would have wiped the floor with...
