A miracle I don't think is required now the building blocks are in place I think 4-5 years and they will be top 3 again, such bad luck with Paddy Lowe that did last year otherwise it could have been a whole lot different how unlucky was it that he did his worst in his career but he did try something...

Pleased Toto has invested it shows he believes in Williams as they say money talks.

I look forward to the nest 3-4 years I think things are in place for recovery Paddy Lowe has a lot to answer for in this saga. Claire is taking a lot of flak when it's not her fault that a top designer made the worst job of his career she did the right thing and sacked him, it will take time to reco...

What I don't like is that Vettel will not come clean, I have super quick reactions myself and when ever a car pulls in front of me or some other incident my reaction is to avoid an accident, Vettel on the other hand always does these antics he deliberately tries to block, he has done it so many time...

I wish the Hero of F1 the very best recovery possible, he's been a Hero to me since I was a kid. All the best Champ.

Very good points, here I am thinking about everything being done fairly in my dream world, if I could I would take my own vote off and vot against this idea, the points you make show me how wrong I was.

Thank you.

kimandsally - how long have you been watching F1? (out of curiosity) I'm 53 and I have watched every race live until Sky got it (i'm not in a financial position to have Sky) and before that I used to listen to it on the radio before TV, Also been to a few GP's. I hate the fuel saving and DRS and mo...

this would just be a very silly idea and become a laughing running joke I think some of F1's problems come from constant changing the rules and this idea is worst than the double points silly ness maybe we turn F1 into a comedic event It would be more helpful if you said why and be constructive. Fo...

I have an idea I have mulled over for years and Brasil has made me make this thread. Imagine having a spinkler system in different parts of the track which are operated by a random computer, no one would know if or when it would rain and for how hard or for how long, this "could" make fantastic raci...

I will probably be the only one on this, being a racing fan and knowing the dangers that these drivers go through every race weekend. It's occupational hazard. There is no way to know for certain if things were done a little bit different if Jules would be with us today. If we make it "safe" we may...

I just knew this is what would happen, not been on here for more than a year so I didn't know about other people airing their views. I suppose if you like it enjoy that's what life's about having fun. I'm glad you people enjoy it seriously I am but for me saving fuel penalties for drivers when the c...

It is getting to be a joke is not F1 about Racing? So why look after the tyres why not have tyres like before so they can Race, fuel limits so again they cannot race gearbox and engine penalties it goes on and on. I've watched F1 all my life it's like a drug to me I don't want to watch it but I have...

I think more then 1 is deserved he did an amazing job and as we all know he does have it against him Michael Schumacher quoted to Ross Brawn when he was dogging around not allowing Hamilton to pass he said doesn't matter Hamilton gets blamed for everything, I agree he often did and does so when he h...

Blake didn't use the statistic to prove how mighty and great Ferrari is - just to counter the notion that they are "a team that can't remember what it feels like to have a championship winning car".[/quote]

Yes I got it after I read this,

kimandsally

The joys of short term memories...or short term experience. That team that cannot remember what it is like to have a winning car has won 8 of the past 14 WCC championships. Now that is a great use of statistics out of the whole of F1 history that is the only time Ferrari have won 8 from 14, not koc...

What can you expect when those people come up with a regulation stiffling the development of an entirely new engine so that no one who is behind has a chance to catch up. What a dumbass policy it was to begin with. Make manufactures suffer the massive cost of creating all new engines in a new forma...

They are sending 3 cars to Oz as they won't have sorted it by then.

" we [the sport] can't afford to not get 2016 right.

And what exactly does he mean by "get 2016 right"? Unless Red Bull win, things are ...

kimandsally

As a Hamilton fan, I'd love to see Mercedes maintain their dominance in terms of pace for one more year but reach bullet-proof levels of reliability (much like Red Bull going from 2010 to 2011). I think he could possibly set some new records in that circumstance. By 2016, I'd love to see the other ...

Button is gone and should wake up b4 he ends up a Barrichello cry baby Have you been sleeping through the GP's this year?

Horner, though, says it is wrong for fans to be asked to pay the bill. "I don't agree with the fans having to fund a team," he told Sky Sports News HQ. "The fans pay to be entertained by the teams, they shouldn't be having to pay for a team. "The concept of that is wrong and should not be allowed." ...

Sad to hear they fought like a Lion but didn't have the tools to do the job.

First problem is that the fan base has been destroyed by the lock down of media free to air TV like the BBC which underpinned the rise of the sport. Now its restricted to a few pay to view channels with dwindling uninterested a few million viewers left. I'm not sure F1 ever was free to air over her...

About the same time last year, a rumor spread about the Ferrari engine being down on 100 horsepower little did we know...

Hamilton is a genuine sportsman he wouldn't entertain doing that, he loves competing.

What amazes me is why did the race go ahead when the helicopter couldn't be used?

This could and should have been avoided they race ran even though they knew about the weather days ago, they could have run the race earlier to keep more daylight etc etc.

I just hope Jules makes a 100% recovery ASAP.

What a shame if it does close over 200 jobs gone.
