As i understand, in 2007, before the economic crash, race teams made agreements with various sponsor. Long term agreements. As of last year, these agreements ended and therfore the blank spaces on the cars. Also McLaren who's biggest sponsor - economically - for the past 5 or 6 years has been Vodafo...

Was Pedro De La Rosa giving any penalty after his minor accident with Romain Grosjean?

Does anyone knows the value of HRT? Not that I'm buying it, but still interesting.

I agree with @Mr-E, since I visited Spa-Francorchamps this year I was blown away. Great track! I was seated at The Source.

To begin with, there is a rule stating that "Drivers must use the track at all times. For the avoidance of doubt the white lines defining the track edges are considered to be part of the track but the kerbs are not."

If you're interested in the technical side of formula 1, Craig Scarborough (@ScarbsF1) -as mentioned earlier- is an obvious choice AND recommended. Another technical writer is Matt Somerfield (@SomersF1) or http://www.somersf1.blogspot.dk/.

Alonso: "Hamilton is the only driver who can win without the fastest car".

It makes sense:

Alonso is considered the worlds best driver, and nobody has ever won the Championship in their rookie season. Hamilton missed out by a single point.

Nxet_DK

great pictures @Ev0lutionz.

funny how long it takes to prepare for one f1 race. If Monaco (3.340 km) - which is the shortest track on the calender - takes 6 weeks to "build"/prepare, I wonder how long it takes to prepare other f1 tracks such as Valencia (5.419 km)

Did you see Perez? He was on fire. That Sauber could easily be argued to be the quickest - to bad they ran out of time.

I would say over the season they have been the best car on average, yet Mclaren usually end up screwing one of their drivers each race. Their "screw ups" were usually done doing their poor poor pit stops. Bahrain, Spain and Britian had seen better pit stops. Thank god they fixed it - judging from t...

What a qualifying - McLaren one-two and Massa third. Though I'm in doubt what happend with Alonso. He was supposed to be helped by Massa through his slipstream. Bad timing?

Hamilton - he will be so close to a WDC title after a win.

A month ago McLaren brought an article as to what they spend their holiday on. http://www.mclaren.com/page/were-in-the-summer-shutdown Although I can't wait for the Belgium GP to begin, it seems fair that all teams have a common holiday.

If I had to choose it would properly be Suzuka 1991, when Senna claims his 3rd WDC

This year Vettel is forced to do whatever he can ("fight like a donkey") to get every single point, compared to last year, when Vettel was leading in WDC throughout the season.

In the interest of Williams I would say Bottas with no doubt, whom have shown good pace, preformance and most importantly - good results. If Williams wants to battle other top-teams and mid-teams, Bottas seems to be the best choice. Bruno Senna just seems to be insecure in how he is preforming - tho...

First of all, its difficult to overtake at Hungaroring and even with DRS and KERS it is still difficult due to the fact that Hungarorring is pretty much Monaco GP alike. Secondly, the end of the race was extremely interesting - with Raikkonen close behind Hamilton. And then there was the tactic arou...

I'm suprised to see that so many people have voted for Karthikeyan. But in my opinion, Button is clearly the best teammate for Hamilton. The reason lies within the duo of british drivers-thing and the growing support for the team. I believe the support has given them the extra energy that is needed....

So overtaking a slower car is unsporting - but qualifying in illegal engine maps isn't?

As i understand, their engine mapping was legal during qualifying as they have found a loop hole in regulations. Which supports FIA's decision not to give any penalties.

Nxet_DK

It's a very unusual situation, but in theory Hamilton is doing nothing wrong. So FIA has no right to give him a penalty in my opinion.
