That USGP in the rain a few years back was awesome.

McLaren should have stayed the course with Honda but they did the H a huge favor by dumping them.

This is the reality for McLaren now. Second rate chassis, second rate engine

What a race that was! Best race of the year! For Max, that was probably the most impressive performance of his career thus far. He came back from the adversity of a poor start and just chipped away at the cars in front of him. On that Hard tire he was absolutely flying! I was amazed that the Red Bu...

Max Verstappen said drivers “have to stay at home” and there is no point “being in Formula 1”

You are right Max, you drive like you are still in Karts, go home and let the grown ups play until such time as you understand that you are wrong sometimes

Fans like this deserve parade races.

No real sources have confirmed anything on Twitter

Unreal they ruled for Leclerc

Edit: fake source. Sorry

. Obviously a penalty - the rules state that you have to allow the cae ahead/alongside room - Verstappen didn't there can be no doubt about that. Do people not know the rules ? I just don't know what a suitable punishment should be. As with Vettel's penalty it would have been better if Verstappen h...

It wasn’t super clean but it would be refreshing to have a close, exciting race end with a pass with no Steward action

Why would Mercedes want to provide Red Bull with their engines? It would be an alarmingly foolish move if you think about it. Pretty much everybody with an opinion on the subject says that being a works team is a huge advantage, so what should Mercedes really have to fear? If I'm an engine supplier...

Great to see Honda finally speaking out. Mclaren last year was just ahead of FI. If they were to use some other engine they would have been further down. I hate it how everyone is strawberry on Honda for Mclaren failures. I never believe Mclaren had a great car anyways and everyone is simply blamin...

Tame Impala and Earth, Wind, & Fire

Well this thread was a bit premature.

It seems like one McLaren fails to finish each race. Reliability is critical. Again, this is a practice year for Honda, like it or not.

(according to http://www.grandprix247.com/2015/05/27/mercedes-willing-to-supply-demand-for-customer-cars/) Toto said:- three of them came to see me [on Friday] about whether we could supply customer cars to them. The Three are rumored to be Red Bull, Toro Rosso, and Mclaren. :lol: 1) Source? 2) McL...

Whatever the outcome, one thing is for sure: FIFA is not sweeping this one under the carpet with a sham 'internal investigation'. :nod: I'm not expecting instant miracles but this could be a start for the long-overdue cleanup the game needs. I think it could certainly be the start. Unfortunately, i...

I've no doubt that Alonso will get fed up with the poor Mclaren, but at the end of the day its his fault that he is in this position IMO. He had a WDC capable car in '07, but fell out with them so badly that he had to go back to Renault. To make things worse, teams had realised from '07 that it was...

Unless Alonso could mount a WDC challenge with the 2015 Ferrari, possible but not likely, then if Mclaren win a championship before Ferrari Alonso has made the right call. I think you nailed it on the head. I don't think Alonso can beat the run and hide Mercedes team as constructed even with Ferrar...

Fox Sports had an equally harsh article about why teenagers shouldn't drive F1 cars. Thank goodness Lewis and company botched the pit or this would be the ONLY story. Massa should chill.

I prefer F-1, but I'll watch two turtles race (there is just something pure about trying to go faster than someone else) - and Indy was a fair bit better than turtles :) I agree in principle. I prefer F-1 to ovals any day of the week, but these drivers in Indy manage to just get in the way of each ...

Not sure if anyone has posted this, this gives in indication of how closely intertwined the Mclaren car is with the Honda PU. Interesting, i think some of the problems the team are having with their engine is the dictation of the car design on the engine design and visa versa... I think both partne...

It's hard to not say "Nico" in this situation, but the truth of the matter is: Hamilton had this race by 20 seconds. At the end of the day, the Hammer's team isn't going to screw up that badly every race.

Just let Monaco GP on F1 calendar for the sake of historical mumbo-jumbo, but NO championship points to grab on Sunday (alternatively, let the 10 drivers in Q3 on Saturday fight for the championship points: P1 gets 25, P2 gets 18, and so on) If you're going to do that, just have P1 get 10, P2 get 9...

Hamilton: "I'm surrounded by idiots"

Hey all, I'm from Austin, TX and I'm relatively new to the whole F1 thing. I've been a McLaren fan since the F1 track was built in my back yard and I try to get there as often as possible (the US Grand Prix, of course, among other races/concerts). I don't pretend to know a ton about the sport, but I...
