Verstappen on Sainz. I believe it's lap 56 & 57 EUbrMzaOCuU Is Max at fault for both or does the blame for one cancel out the other??? Carlos didn't push Max off like Max did to Carlos the first time through. I don't understand this anymore. What do people want to see in Grand Prix racing? This is ...

Verstappen was driver of the day. No doubt. Ric didn't have any pressure from Vettel who was cruising to stay ahead of Ham.

Funny to see how many people only want "hard facts" and "zero speculation", but are hanging around on an internet forum. And when somebody has an information source like UPS guy, it's news value is up for discussion. Of course I'm looking for the facts as well, but I like speculation from people who...

I think the silly season is about to get started. Mark my words. In Monza, several announcements will be made. Starting by Ferrari.

Alonso had a big mouth about Ferrari by asking for another car as a birthday present, and no driver ever survived that kind of talks (Prost, Lauda, Barrichello, Irvine).

Flavio knows everything about F1. In terms of business. He was team manager of de Renault F1 team and he was the manager with exclusive rights of about half of the F1-grid. Webber, Alonso, Kovalainen, Trulli, Piquet etc. He was earning a lot of money on those contracts and besides that, he had the v...

I'm sure I've heard it too. I also doubted if I understood right, but now I'm sure.

Could still be joke or something.

Schumacher has clearly a motivation problem on these cars. Besides the whole concept of DRS, KERS and disreputable tires, the Mercedes is tyre eating soapbox. I still think that Schumacher was hired to develop the car, otherwise Brawn wouldn't have hired Rosberg first, and Schumacher second. I watch...

Alfa's.. Owned 2. A 33 and a 156 SW. Great cars that I love but at the same time a nightmare. :lol: Some of them are a nightmare. I guess I've been lucky because I've never had much trouble with my six Alfa's. I handle them with care, so I always let the engine warm up slowly. I check the oil and s...

We did this weeks ago "Isn't that Enrique Bernoldi?"

Excuse me. You're right. It's a picture from 2001 so it must be bernoldi.

Alonso.

Funny that people try to blame Kimi. He did absolutely nothing wrong. Alonso steers diagonally to the left, sees Kimi and steers left again. In the opposite direction of the ideal line which would be to the right at that point, so I can imagine Kimi doesn't expect this. It's 100% Alonso's fault and ...

Nice to read that some people are on the side of Spyker and Saab. I'm Dutch and I think I have some more info about Victor Muller (CEO of Spyker Cars) because there were quite a few articles about Muller, Saab and his Belize tax havens in the Dutch press in the past years. To make one point clear. V...

.....what will be the reason why he fails to perform in Bahrain? The list of excuses for this guy is endless! The man has 7 world championships under his belt. His re-entry in the sport shows his great personality in my opinion. He had nothing to loose, but he chose to re-enter, which fed the peopl...

Nice Cakewalk!

Thanks

I remember that he wanted to make an F1 movie, and like the others post in this thread, it became an Indycar movie. I've never managed to watched the whole movie and probably never will.

Isn't it Antonio Banderas who bought the rights for making an F1 movie about Senna?

cdriel

... It is just very ridiculous. The much simpler and obvious explanation is that for a team like Sauber, P2 means a LOT and they just didn't want Perez taking unnecessary risks and binning it like he almost did when chasing down Alonso. They could have easily radioed him to maintain position if the...

cdriel

Renault only had one way to achieve their wishes though, in that incident. They had to make Piquet crash. There was no other way to achieve it. Perez could have gifted Alonso the win in a load of different ways, each of them with less risk to him and his second place. Why an off-road excursion? Why...

cdriel

You haven't read much of this thread then, as you are one of several people on here making these unfounded comments. Why can't people let others enjoy a win by their team or driver? My excuses. Allready found the other thread. Of course, speculation is often unfounded and if we would all wait until...

cdriel

ok, I want the conspiracy nuts to answer me this:- Assuming Perez was ordered to not overtake Alonso, why "pretend" to go off, when all you have to do is slow up a little? A "pretend" excursion off-track could so easily end in retirement. This is why I cannot see a comparison between this incident ...

cdriel

Well, maybe it's more obvious to crash your car on purpose in order help Alonso?

Or do you think that thought is also absurd?

F1 is a business guys. And this is a forum.

cdriel

What a thread. Maldonado made a mistake in Melbourne. I think you don't need to explain a professional F1 driver not to do such things. First of all, I think none of us really knows what exactly happened, but calling the other opinion "stupid", doesn't really make sense right? After all, it is a for...

cdriel

I also think it was a teamorder. The exact message for Perez was: "Sergio, we really need this position. Be carefull." I think that we can agree on that that is not a quite natural message given the fact that Perez was at Alonso's tail driving 1.2 seconds a lap faster. Something like: "We can win th...

cdriel

Am I the only one who thinks Perez got the order not to pass Alonso? And that he intentionally let the car roll in the safest corner on the track? Probably to avoid a scenario like Austria 2001. I think Perez is that good, that he doesn't need this. At Ferrari they need a new scandals boy for Alonso...

Maybe Red Bull hopes for rain after 20 or so laps. Every other car ate their tyres and had to pit, while Vettel runs on the option tyres he started the race on. On P1 :) Then it starts to rain, and everybody has to pit for full wets, including vettel. Then he'll stil have P1 if it turns out ok for h...

A mate of mine went from a 33 which he had handling on rails, to this "last of the rear wheel drive" monster. I loved it, but it took some effort to drive fast and never handled like the 33. He once stuffed it into a kerb and it was never right afterwards. Great looking car though, gotta love Alfa'...

The 1300 V4 Lancia engine had about 85 horsepower. Driveability is great. I drove one last year and I almost bought it. But I didn't trust the subframe. That's the main issue with that car.

some great info and video there thanks mate! Just wondering what your thoughts are of general admission, how hard is it to get a decent spot to watch the race on a Sunday?

Brawn said they'd be aiming for 3rd in the constructors this year and that seems very likely based on what we've seen. Agree with this. RB and McLaren are a level above everyone. Merc, Ferrari & Lotus all have the potential to be the 3rd best team. Will come down to development. Regular podiums for...

MONACO Anyone got any tips for Monaco, going for the first time this year so any advice greatly appreciated. Try the K-tribune between Tabac and Piscine (swimming pool). I think that's one of the best places in Monaco. Start/Finish under your butt, and you can see them climbing up St Devote on your...

I wouldn't call it rarely. You can find a recap on Youtube. I think it's above average for someone who is for about two years in F1.

And today there was not a crash, but that was due to the effort of the others avoiding him.

i think Koba cost Rosberg some places too at the end? If we are talking liabilities here, I would nominate Kobayashi. This guy is the craziest driver of all Jap crap we've seen the last years, including Ide and Sato. Did you saw him making threatening steering movements when he got passed? Just lik...

I think Schumi would have had a points finish if his gearbox didn't fail. I thought it stuck in 3rd gear (in stead of loosing just third). What I noticed is that the Mercedes has a superior top speed. Vettel was bouncing the rev limiter with DRS open, but couldn't get close enough to pass Schumacher...
