I would say they have equally bad luck, Hamilton's bad luck has cost him when he's been in higher positions but he has still managed to get a few points, whereas Nico has been struck by bad luck when he has been at the lower end of the points but has had a bit more luck in the higher points like tod...

This thread feels like everyone is arguing about how to pronounce the word Scone, whether it's "Sc-own" or "Scon" :lol: Anyway back on topic, I really enjoy Ben Edwards, he's a bit like Legard but actually knows his stuff, and I feel that him and DC actually work really well together. I don't mind t...

Rosberg won't move to Ferrari, he loves the "Silver Arrows" too much, he is competitive with a great team mate and getting equal treatment. Maldonado would be a bit of a unusual move for Lotus, if they keep Kimi and replace RoGro surely they have to look at the likes of Hulkenberg first and possibly...

People should read this before going berserk (which seems to already of happened in some cases)

Joe states that Ferrari did a test in Bahrain and that other teams will test the tyres through the season.

Gaz

As we're talking about helmets, Hamilton seemed to run his normal helmet in quali after running all the practice sessions with his new custom Monaco one. Did he not have like the correct visor on his custom helmet or something?

I think the music makes this one

Good

Alonso's home win
Vettel not winning

Bad

Watching my favourite driver plummet through the field like a brick in water
Tyres exploding and degrading like no tomorrow
Watching drivers being told to drive slower to make the tyres last when 3+ seconds off the pace

Gaz

If tyres were not a factor I think Mercedes would be crushing the opposition with RedBull their nearest competitor. But due to how the tyres are it's Ferrari leading the way, with Vettel closely following.

Gaz

I think this would be a more fitting link as it's not a hour long :-P http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8737993.stm But it does seem in that race that they were racing flat out all the time and just having multiple pit-stops, but saying that that's what last years Canada race wa...

Gaz

But what happen's to poor Romain Grosjean?

Gaz

I was hoping it was going to be a much brighter and vivid silver

Gaz

I get the feeling that there won't be any real changes in the order, maybe the midfield and backmarkers might jump around but I don't expect a 2009 type of season. I think the teams are too aware of how much it cost them (and how much it gained them for other teams) to not be massively prepared. I c...

Gaz

Funniest: Hamilton in McLaren's pit box, it was a surprise but a expected surprise that many people called

Most Satisfying: Vettel passing Webber for the victory in Malaysia, showing his utter ruthlessness and a side of the drivers we don't see too often

Gaz

It went okay for me in Oz but I totally screwed up in Malaysia thanks to the poor effort by Lotus and Ferrari and foolishly decided Kimi would be on pole instead of Vettel because of Kimi's quick performances on the Friday

Gaz

Compared to Lee I think she is the right choice, even though Lee seems universally liked (perhaps Kimi aside) anytime I hear Lee she seems to always ask the most mundane, boring and obvious questions . Isn't that her job though, to ask pretty much the same questions to 22 drivers, am sure it can ge...

Gaz

As a RoGro fan it's a little bit annoying but totally logical. If you had one set of upgrades at the first race who are you going to give it to? A former WDC with bags of talent, experience and consistency or the unreliable and a bit crash prone driver. I mean RoGro has some stellar days but the fir...

Gaz

It was because Di Resta out qualified him and would of finished higher than him if the team hadn't ordered him to hold position. Simple.

Gaz

I was expecting a lot more retirements from the big teams to be honest that cost me quite a bit. Hulkenberg's DNS and Williams and McLarens shockingly poor performances ruined it for me

Gaz

Is Bianchi really good or is Chilton pretty rubbish?

The catering staff etc do not count as part of the 60, as they're part of the hospitality staff, along with the truck drivers

Gaz

I would be very surprised if McLarens new sponsors were either Coca Cola or McDonalds, both of which need no advertising as their markets are already saturated, hell Coca Cola is one of the biggest and well known brands in the world.

It will be Telmex.

Edit for spelling

Gaz

Am looking forward to seeing everyone's predictions

Gaz

All I can say is that am sure he won't be used to stopping that far in the middle of the pit lane

Gaz

Sounds good for the sport and McLaren. Funny thing is that if it happens that Mercedes and Honda will have effectively swapped places and roles with the same 2 teams in a matter of years

Gaz

Am in, with my totally imaginative name

Gaz

I read a rumour somewhere that McLaren might be taking over Cosworth's F1 engine subsidiary as a basis for there own engine program. It's probably nosense but you can see the logic of it. Anyone else heard anything to that effect? I think I read that in a thread on here somewhere, but it was a most...

Gaz

I probably imagine that not having Hamilton alongside him at Ferrari was in his first contract with Ferrari and now has deemed Vettel good enough to also be blocked

Gaz

I feel there are just too many variables here to try and type out a answer :-P To keep it short, RedBull won't of shot up the ladder, they may have made it gradually but that would mean Vettel would definitely not be a 3xWDC with RedBull, perhaps 1 at the most. But as someone said above, he might of...

Gaz

I am a big supporter of RoGro (strange as I am British and he's French....) but I desperately hope that he keeps it together this season and becomes good, because on speed alone he is a match for Kimi. The only incident last year I thought was really bad was the Webber incident in Japan, Spa was jus...

Gaz

I think what makes Vettel a standout qualifier is that if his car is capable of being on pole he will always put it on pole. He always delivers when under huge amounts of pressure. Sure he had some poor quali performances in 2012 but, in my eyes, that was not because he was lacking or the car was l...

Funnily enough today I watched the video about RBR making the worlds fastest race car without any regs. Newey said one of the main things is that it will reach a point where the human body cannot take the G-forces anymore and the cars become unbearable to drive. I guess we could be currently prolong...

Gaz

should of put spoilers in the title

now a little bit on the anticipations ruined

Gaz

I don't think the teams publicise that kind of information, most takes on team budgets are just estimations based on some facts, like Red Bull won't agree to a budget cap, suggesting they're spending well over it, which is a lot

Gaz

I was skeptical right off the bat when he said that McLaren, Ferrari and Merc were the fastest. I felt pretty sure that the Lotus was quicker, and quicker than the Merc at least. So I don't trust his analysis, just doesn't seem quite right.
