Re: Greenpeace banners
Wow some of the comments on that video are extremely aggressive and narrow minded, someone actually blaming the drivers themselves for destroying the arctic? This is the main reason i get annoyed with 'activists', they are so over the top.

In which recent races have you seen or heard of anyone that he has brought to the track with him? I have no idea why this would affect him anyway...Crazy_Ivan wrote:I think Lewis needs to drop the non F1 circus that seems to follow him, sadly I don't think he wants to.

Re: Di Resta v Sutil
I don't rate either of them tbh, but out of the two i'd say it was Di Resta. He just can't keep it together for a full season, maybe with a bit more experiance he would improve but this is his third season (i think) and he he hasn't showed that he has the potential to be a champion.

I don't get the thread title? Martin Brundle's Sky F1 commentary, talking about Mark Webber's line through the corner just before Sutil spun into him.

Just because they went down the wrong development route last year doesn't mean they will this year, it's not a given that they will drop off in performance again. Hopefully they keep up with the teams around them and can challenge the red bulls.
