I fear Ron has done his dirty work yet again. I can hear the discussion now, "Jenson, we are not willing to pay the £12 mill, yes it may be in your contract but things change (mainly due to me he should say) but we want you for the same amount as this year." Jenson knows the car won't make the groun...

If he can do it one day, he will gain the Legendary status after having been seen as a "journeyman" for many years. "Journeyman"??????????????? what planet are you on Mr Willis? The Oxford dictionary defines the term as "A worker or sports player who is reliable but not outstanding". which would pu...

with the Mercs so far in front, can Honda deliver a reliable engine that will suddenly change the grid? There seems to be a lot of talk around a "development" year, but i firmly believe "H" will put an engine in the Mclaren that will be on the Mercs pace from race 1. Perhaps then the question is, ca...

JBee

really?

must be true then as they always let him know first!!!!

JBee

best driver package on the grid next season and the season thereafter. JB and FA. the Merc pair will be at it early doors and before they realise it. they will be chasing Honda fumes........

its already written.

JBee

whose Andrew Benson?

JBee

JB not going anywhere, 2 year deal, no brainer.

lack of respect Ron has shown prob added £3M to his salary.

but JB wouldnt deal like that, the man is a gentleman, F1 could learn a lot from that.

but business is business, fairy cakes as it it is.

JBee

been reading all posts with interest and all is fair in F1 Business as they say, couple of points I would like to add. 1. Big Ron will stand up at 10.00am tomorrow (actually, he wont, he will delegate to Suzi, but then again he may want the limelight to himself.......) 2. he will apologise to JB, he...

Hamilton is the hungrier of the 2, great drive from Rosberg in Monaco tho, just get the feeling that Lewis will up his game for Canada and im not sure Nico has another level in him. Failing all of that, Hammy's super slick low downforce haircut will give him the extra 10th he needs.................R...

according to the Beeb web Site (sorry Sky fans!), the German says hes not apologising for winning the race!!!!! thats just about the same as saying "F*ck you Mark and the RBR team is it not? that boy has a few things to learn yet, first one of which is NOT to bring down your team! Red Bull implosion...

Newey will jump back to McLaren when the crap starts to hit the fan. Did you see his face after the race when he was talking to Vettel prior to the podium debacle!, there were MAJOR issues there!

JBee

now the German is saying he doesnt apologise for winning the race!!!!!!

this year will be RBR's Nemesis!

you are about to watch the end of a clever, fast, but ultimately doomed racing team! As fast as they rose, they will fall faster into the ashes!

JBee

IMO this is a clever way of handling the situation. It was really the only practical solution and Marko pointed this out in his comments when he effectively said that the drivers don't pay attention to the orders anyway. However it makes it look as though Red Bull are taking control by drawing a li...

Even by my Arithmetic theres less than 18 days till the 17th March!!!!!!!!!!!

Success & wins are not everything in live. McLaren is not the greatest thing on earth there is a live outside F1 & McLaren Maybe Hamilton realised that.[/quote] you think Vettel and Alonso think that?[/quote] I'm sure Vettel & Alonso think McLaren is not the greatest thing on earth. thats not what ...

JBee

doesnt gel for me. McLaren are to rigid for a man like him, Ferrari is the fit, but thats just based on current thinking. If Newey went to Sauber in 2015, he strikes me as a guy who would want a serious challenge in the twilight of his career, could you see Vettel with that hat on? I dont think so, ...

JBee

can we expect some new "parts" on Vettels car tomorrow?

answer probably no!

just have a feeling RBR are further behind the 8 ball than they would like and no amount of Vettel Hitler jokes can hide it!

Assuming really WDC is all he cares about, why go from a consistent front line contender, like McLaren, to a team which didn't deliver, like Mercedes, that I'll never know. Which is why I won't understand moves like Hill's, Villeneuve's, Piquet's (the big one, not the little one)...the only one who...

JBee

Well, if fame and glory is his ultimate goal, i fear he just swiped one golden cage for another. If Mercedes fails to deliver, he might find those German bars even stronger than the Macca days, freedom and all. I know, I know, he's a fighter, and we are liable to see some very nice racing from him ...

JBee

Well, I'm cautiously optimistic, let's put it like this. After only one day of testing, there's no reason to jump off the roof, it will just make the fall more painful. For the time being, things look to be more or less in the right direction, and maybe that mechanical failure was nothing to worry ...

JBee

Odds are never about what a given drivers actual chances are. They are about creating a balance in the money bet between each driver in order to cover each of the possible payouts. At first it's just the oddsmakers educated guess as to where the bets will go. Then as the bets start coming in the od...

Well, then, permit me to quote my previous question: Why go from a consistent front line contender, like McLaren, to a team which didn't deliver, like Mercedes? Let's face it, money had an important part in this move. Maybe not the only part, maybe not the final and decisive push reason, but it mat...

JBee

Guys, I never follow off season testing, just scan the times occasionally and clock the head lines, so a question please. What is the rule on cars/drivers? Is it just one car and one driver allowed? It would seem to make more sense to take as many cars and drivers as possible to get time on track r...

We all know it was motivated largely, not completely, but money. F1 is a sport driven by cash so why should it's drivers be any different? But those who said Hamilton didn't think of the money at all are seriously lacking gumption. are you seriously saying he made the move for a coupla extra mill? ...

JBee

Meh...I don't know, I'm a Button fan myself, but a car which is only fast, and nothing else, doesn't cut it. Let's not forget that the 2012 McLaren was in itself quite fast. 7 wins, some other potential wins thrown in the litter bin due to all kinds of faults you can think of -but as far as I remem...

Yeah real shame about today. He was looking very good. Whilst I'm both a LH and JB fan, I'm kinda hoping Lewis does leave and they get a young gun in. They'd probably taylor the car around Button and I'd really like to see him have a season where he can dial in the setup he needs every race. I thin...
