Hakkinen won the championship by 14 points, Schumacher still wouldn't have won the title even if he'd won in Belgium.

I remember being really pleased when he stepped in for Kubica at Indy 2007 because his talent seemed genuine from what I'd seen of him in lower formulae. I don't think anyone expected his rise to be so quick though.

Aeson

That's great news. Loved the A1 ring. Please scrap the race at Catalunya. :thumbup: :thumbup: A thumbs up for each statement. My thoughts exactly No way!!! Catalunya might not be the most exciting track ever but at least has lots of proper F1 fans and big attendance! Scrap artificial tracks with no...

Is this a thread to discuss the race or not? Who cares about some guy's jingoism. Shame Grosjean didn't quite get the reward he deserved today but you can't fault Vettel, seemingly on his way to title number 4.

https://twitter.com/Lotus_F1Team/status/332089761802092546 Lotus have confirmed it. Autosport are also reporting that Ferrari is the likely destination as McLaren have "ruled out the possibility". Tim Goss was only promoted to TD at McLaren at the start of the year so it would be rather harsh to boo...

Still, we still have drivers like this on the grid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt5nt7IdyPs F1 now has more penalties than ever before for dangerous driving.

Aeson

Last time we had tyres that the drivers could push the entire race, we had processional racing. Who had the fastest car today if not Alonso?

Aeson

Only Rosberg retiring ahead of him so a genuine 7th. Faster than Massa in the closing laps too despite being on older tyres.

Aeson

So what's your take on the same situation happening to Vettel in Abu Dhabi last year?

Aeson

As has been mentioned, this is the list McLaren started on their website over a year ago celebrating their 50 greatest drivers across all disciplines of motorsport in which they have competed. It was listed based on their contribution to McLaren, hence drivers like Mansell being low on the list. The...

Have you seen the onboard replay of Webber's start? If so, what makes you disagree with Davidson? The wheelspin is audibly obvious. Webber suffers ECU glitch A problem with Mark Webber's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) heavily compromised his Australian Grand Prix as he laboured to sixth place. Red B...

It wasn't all the car's fault. He also dumped the clutch too quickly, you can hear the wheelspin about a second after he pulls away. Ahh ..

I'm gonna re watch the race in the morning. But when me and and my buddy were watching we thought Webbo had slow reaction time to the lights going out. Now please don't roast me I'm not claiming to be an expert like Lt. Drebin or Aeson. Where am I claiming to be an expert? I agree that no KERS and ...

Strap on outboard motors and take the wheels off. Job done.

One corner that stands out as dangerous for me is La Source, not so much for the drivers but for the photographers that regularly stand within touching distance of the cars at the apex with only a 3 foot high concrete wall to protect them. I'm amazed none of them were seriously injured by flying deb...

@Scuderia Steve: I dont think apart from the silver & white any other code caused any sort of confusion. I for one never had problems identifying between the yellow, orange and the reds. I didnt notice the commentators having that problem either. There are people in the world that are vision impair...

Aeson

Nothing more than Bernie making his annual comment to stir up the naysayers that come out of the woodwork to trash talk the GP. He is coming to Melbourne to negotiate but I'd be surprised if the new contract runs for more than 5-7 years.

Aeson

Spain 2012 from memory is the closest qualifying session I can remember. Wasn't Hamilton 7 tenths faster than anybody else? But wasn't that the qualifying session he was disqualified from for not having enough fuel in the car? It wouldn't have been drastically different, certainly not enough to cov...

Aeson

General admission isn't too bad but it can make following the race a bit difficult, unless you can stand somewhere in view of a big screen and within earshot of a speaker for the commentary. I've no idea about the premium zones so I can't help you there. One of the best places to stand just to see t...

Aeson

Why so much focus on times? It's testing. They're not necessarily going for laptimes. They're doing science! Indeed, but right now they're all doing fairly long stints for the first time, so it's interesting to compare things like lap time drop off. Nobody is about to place bets based on this data ...

Aeson

Not a great run for Hamilton there, times started out fairly slow and dropped off dramatically. Even managed a 1:30 lap at the end of the stint.

Aeson

Three lap run on soft tyres, same as Bianchi's current P1 time.

Aeson

Does anyone know what tyres Perez was on for that 10 lap run he just did? I hope it's soft because his times at the end of the run were 4.6 seconds slower than at the start. No info from Autosport or McLaren. His next run wasn't quite so bad. Although he started it with a lap roughly 1.2 seconds sl...

Rosberg did a 1:17.613 at Jerez during testing last year and he hardly set the world on fire during the season, whereas the fastest lap McLaren managed was a 1:19.464 yet they locked out the front row at the first race.

Aeson

Ricciardo often edged it into Q2 while Vergne was regularly eliminated in Q1, using up an extra set of tyres compared to Vergne and more often than not ended up starting on the same row of the grid as him anyway, which put him at a slight disadvantage as far as race strategy goes. He was also too po...
