I just came across this website: http://www.manorracingfanblog.com/takeover-bid-know/ From reading that it seems a takeover is imminent and that Rio Haryanto is involved somehow and will presumably be one of the drivers. As much as I would love that to be true, I find it hard to understand how Hary...

They found cash for another week, so they have until the 27th or so.

I think this was more for the offer of sale that been tabled.... they had until today to accept, or it may be reduced or withdrawn

Sack the petulant little prick

Can only be Hamilton. Topped just about every session, managed the tyres and gap perfectly, and took pole and the win

ainscowpaul

Am I alone in thinking he is milking this a bit? Really laying it on with the 'not sure how we move forward from this' Drivers have wiped out cars 3 and 4 races in a row, but come out supporting them, even when it was driver error. Maybes he should adopt the same policy Shame, as I really like Ricc ...

Vettel, acting like a petulant child when things dont go his way, again. Surprised we didnt hear a radio call demanding Kimi get out of his! No we only Heard Kvyat scream for someone to "get out of the F***** way!" later in the race. ;) Wasnt that complaining about back markers and blue flags? I fi...

Hopefully any opportunity he gets, he wont blame everyone fort anything that goes wrong. I found his last season in F1 to be very negative in his interviews, extremely negative in fact

ainscowpaul

As above. Very good move, keeping him with the team

Grosjean confirmed to Haas!

Im certain the bodies within the sport are constantly trying to find ways to make it as safe as possible, but, it will never be free from risk You have machines carrying a driver at immense speeds, inches from walls and objects, and both can make mistakes, or freak accidents can occur. Sadly as Mart...

Listening to the team radio that was played out, it sounded like exactly what he asked Rob, that it was indeed team orders

Heading off from Newcastle at 5am tomorrow for the weekend, cant wait!

Its commonly known amongst the drivers not to swear whilst being interviewed on live TV, hence why it almost never happens. Sebs swearing wasnt heat of the moment, it was intentional. I know I cant protect my kids from the world, but I dont find it acceptable to do what he done. You dont hear Roone...

The point remains, it shouldnt happen by a professional sportsperson on live tv

I know when he opens the internet, he could find things, but I dont expect, he should hear it on an F1 race

Yes, disgusting. Regardless of what the word was, it was a swear word that is not commonly acceptable on 'day time tv'. I know my son will encounter much worse examples, you dont need to try and educate me as a parent. It isnt the first time Vettel has done it, and Im sure last time there was posts ...

ainscowpaul

Regardless, having my 8 y/o son who was watching the race with me, say 'daddy he just swore!' wasnt a high point

Its not the first time he has done it, and its quite frankly disgusting!

ainscowpaul

What if a rabbit runs out, Hamilton hits it, and smashes his nose?

You could spend all day with 'what if'. It will be what it will be.

ainscowpaul

As he said, if NR gets close enough he will let him past. That was fair enough.... Why should he compromise his own race, and WDC standings?

I dont think its that they are desperate for cash, I mean why would they buy a company out knowing that by week two theyd be skint What is probably more the case, is that they feel they are carrying far too many, and reducing it to what they feel is required, and within their budgets, much the same ...

De la Rosa a second off

Are there any websites covering live timing for it?

The speed at which they pulled out the gaps yesterday was crazy! Not sure if it was to do with watching it in person, but it looked considerably faster than any other race this season so far

The prices this year were shocking, on both food / drink and merchandise.

Cheapest pint was about £4.50, burgers same and things such as Burritos were about £8.

After having to pay this Friday, we took a cooler in Saturday and Sunday with beers and some food, and saved a fortune!

ainscowpaul

LH wins this weekend, NR retires, gap is only 4 points

This season it needs a nig gap, especially with double points for last race of the season

Its far from over

ainscowpaul

The first of todays pointless posts.....

The majority of us here have jobs, right?

How would you feel if come the end of the month, you didnt get paid? Would you go back to work tomorrow?

I wouldnt

Be it F1 or not, its still a job, employment, and an employee has the RIGHT to be paid on time

I sat at Stowe this year, which was great, as you get to see a lot of action

I hope they provide support to the crane driver as well. You mean the driver who didn't stop when he could no longer see the guy in front of the crane? Have you drove one of those Telehandlers? Do you know how many blind spots they have? Do you know they require Banksmen? If the answer to any of th...

Be a shame if no progression... Was hoping they could mix it up a bit more rather than just making up the numbers

ainscowpaul

Ive been following their times closely in pre-season testing, and so far, nothing suggests that they have closed the gap on the field at all so far. I know a lot of it is about data, aero and bedding in new parts etc, but the times should by the end of sessions be somewhat reflective of their positi...

How do you think Massas timings will compare to De La Rosas timings?

I think DLR is one of the best for car development, but not raw speed, so will be interesting to see

He came, he done well, he most certainly didnt conquer but has instead been handed an opportunity to be their number 1

Dont under estimate Perez, he will keep him on his toes
