Re: What happened to Giancarlo Fisichella?
I will always remember him with his Monaco, Canada and Spa Francorchamps performances. He was something special on those tracks. If he could have achieved that performance level on other tracks too, we would have had some Fisichella vs. Vettel threads now in the forum. :thumbup: Getting on the podi...

Re: True potential of 2012 Williams?
I agree that with a top driver this car should have been at the front in 2012 and winning more than just 1 race and certainly a multiple podium contender. Williams should have finished at least 6th in the constructors even challenging merc for 5th if Maldonado hadn't thrown away so many points and i...

Re: What's going on with Romain Grosjean??
It is really weird in the first stint he was right behind Kimi only 1 second behind him and lapping faster than him in the early stage so he seemed to have a massive balance issue with the mediums.

Re: The Official Kimi Räikkonen thread
Looks like Lotus has a new chief race engineer ex race engineer of Mark Webber Ciaron Pilbeam while Simon Rennie leaves Lotus to become Mark Webber race engineer at Red Bull.
I think this is a real positive for the team as he can bring a lot to the team.

Permane just said Romain and Kimi were told to lift in that sector and according to him they did lift sufficiently so I dont think they will get any penalty maybe a reprimand at most.
