Some of you seem to have forgotten the incident where he took out Grosjean in Australia. Now it was clear he was purposefully shoving him WAY off the track, much more than he needed to because he'd pretty much been guaranteed the place after the apex. But that pointless stupidity ended Grosjean's ra...

Yes, absolutely. But I'm glad they have a range of different ones and prices. I was at Silverstone today and got a decent silky polyester white McLaren shirt that mimics the race-suits for £25, which is pretty standard for popular band conerts. They had the official rocket-red victory shirts for aro...

Was just browsing through the results centre on the site and came across this: http://www.planetf1.com/results/#/driver-standings/2012 Anyone have any idea why it lists all the team principals as drivers (on 0 points each of course)? I understand the adittion of third drivers, just in case they sit ...

I hate the idea of a Russian GP because I can't face the commentators puns about rushin' around. Croft: "Well Martin, Hamilton seems to be in a rush today" Brundle: "I know Crofty, everyone is Russian around here" And the award for worst joke goes to............. And Petrov comes into the pits for ...

I don't mind the lack of focus on certain things or the bias towards drivers, the mistakes are a bit annoying I'd agree, but the worst thing of all is that whenever something interesting happens, "Crofty" SHOUTS AT THE THE TOP OF HIS VOICE AS LOUD AS HE POSSIBLY CAN FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN BECAUSE WIT...

McLaren Mercedes Mercedes I wonder why........ I think you've made the same mistake as me after reading the title but then you didn't go on to read the opening post, it says Whiting not Whitmarsh. ;) Glad I'm not the only one who made that mistake :blush: However I'm also glad I understood the mist...

I could've sworn they made a rule about this after Hamilton's car conked out before the back straight after the race ended in Canada 2010?

I think the reason he didn't get penalised mid-race was because he hasn't been consistently like this. What most people forget is that the FIA consider previous behaviour when dishing out penalties, hence why Hamilton and Schumacher seem to get a lot whilst Rosberg didn't. His repeat offences this ...

IamTheWillrus

It's his fourth race back in an F1 car. I think everyone here knows he's gained a lot more respect by giving it a go, showing he can challenge for the victory and ending up with 2nd, rather than blazing through the midfield only to stuff it up Vettel's gearbox and retire with nil pwa. Have patience....

If that is so, he fully deserves it

They have a good understanding of the car in quali, but a bad understanding of how to manage tyres and race strategy. Lets hope they can knock their heads together over the break and have it figured out by Barcelona.

IamTheWillrus

I agree also :thumbup: Lots of teams and lots of drivers fighting for the podium, exactly what we want. And we deserve it after the boring snooze that was 2011. Out of interest, does anyone know the record for the most number of championship leader changes there have been in a season? Whatever it is...

IamTheWillrus

*Sigh* And here I was hoping for a season of role-reversal, where Webber does pretty well and shuts Vettel up.

IamTheWillrus

It's interesting and gives more than two drivers the chance to win a race. I'd take this over 2004's setup any week. I dont like how it encourages tyre nursing though. Racing should be about pushing the hardest, and not care that much about tyres. I don't like it either, as you and others said, it ...

Yeah teams can now decide if they want to do team orders or not. If your team is balanced and fair like Lotus, Williams etc, there's no need for it. If it's floundering, corrupt, unbalanced, unfair and you have favouritism for one driver like Ferrari, order away. Er....Lotus still has the DNA of th...

After the misfortune in Australia and rookie mistake in Malaysia, it seems he's finally found his grove. He overtook both Rosberg and Button by the first corner, matched Raikkonen's pace for most of it and was going faster than him for a few laps. His overtakes were very reminiscent of his GP2 perfo...

Oh dear, how much a Sunday performance can change a Saturday opinion

Shame, he could've got some decent points.

IamTheWillrus

The one you just watched? Yes it was a buzzkill that Raikkonen couldn't get past Vettel, I was shouting him on myself, but that was far from a boring procession such as Valencia last year.

What major changes will be on the cars for 2014 (or whenever the next big regulation change will be), in terms of both appearance and performance changes?

I just realized he's the only driver with 0 points besides the "3 new teams". That's not good :uhoh: His car's not fantastic, but surely it's been fast enough for a top-ten finish at some point?

Very interesting systems.
