Maby she should have given up the fags to improve her blood oxygen levels.... She has a full team who work for her, Doctors, managers , phyisos etc no excuses! For getting caught? Sure. For taking the substance for 10 years? Not really. There is one big excuse: It was a legal substance. I'm finding...

i didn't spend anywhere near a grand to go to that "race" it was a farce, but i got a refund of more than i paid for the ticket. now it's just an interesting story to tell If you are not from around - it's a grand at least. Race tickets (>100) + hotel on a race weekend (>200, >300 for downtown/nigh...

Vlad

Exactly. Everybody wanted to race. FIA/Max said "rules can't be bent, I'm the man!". Good thing that pervert is out of the picture now. And they'll be bending rules come Saturday

Vlad

So if I was one of the back runners I'd immediately protest all the results of qualifying, referring to F1 rules. I still remember how those FIA idiots robbed me of money and entertainment by refusing to introduce a chicane at Indiy GP in 2005. Because "rules can't be bent". I wonder if they'll ben...

Well, I've just read a report on the press conference she's given today about failing a drug test. Now I don't think I'm falling for a story hear, but it really does sound like an innocent mistake. The drug was only banned from 1st Jan this year and is found in common medication available for docto...

If you look at the wording of the rules we didn't actually specify where in the world it had to be 14:00

according to this, it'll be Krasnoyarsk, Russia time than.

One week to go and I have bad news... Those idiots from F1 is setting it to fail from the start. The qualification will be illegal. The new half-assed rules clearly say that qualification should run from 14:00 to 15:00. So Australian GP quali from 17:00 to 18:00 will be illegal and opens wide gates ...

Seven cars finished the 1996 Monaco GP and I think that is the lowest finishing record F1 has had, eight cars finished at Spa in 1998. I think we will have over 10 finishers for the Australian GP. Lets wait and see! Actually in 2005 US GP just had 6 cars. As all Michelin cars couldn't race for safe...

Vlad

That would be great! But since when F1 turn down the money?

Vlad

Well, can it be the day?! Ferrari using it's unlimited resources and sorting out the car fast? Practice never tells the whole story, but seeing Kimi's name in the title of both practice articles - just made my day!

This helmet is awful. It's basically just patches with different sponsor's logos, with not much real design going on.

Well, too many sponsors is never a bad thing

Vlad

Alonso will be under more pressure. Ferrari have brought in Kimi under the expectation of more WCC points. Alonso is at Ferrari already so naturally one will still expect kimi to come up to speed. Having said that, i dont think either driver is under as much pressure as other drivers in other teams...

Vlad

I think Kimi is under more pressure. Many people rate Alonso as the better driver so Kimi is under more pressure to perform and to prove those critics wrong. He lost a bit of reputation after being matched and arguably beaten by Massa during their time as team-mates, and a bit more considering Mass...

I still find this a messy idea. Ferrari team with numbers 7 and 14. Drivers of same team should have numbers that follow each other. Now I care even less about numbering since the days they became invisible. Even one of the last traditional things in F1 disappears. Why stop there? Why not require t...

Vlad

Not sure I'd like this, but like a previous poster said; if you can't see the number on the car, what difference does it make? Personally, I wish they'd just kept the team numbers like they did from '73 to '95. The numbers currently don't mean anything for the viewers which I suspect is one reason ...

Vlad

I'd go further and order that helmet designs must be the same all year. YES! Currently, with numbers smaller than penny, and helmets dramatically changing every race it's impossible to recognize who's the driver in "other" teams car. I will remember what color top camera is on Kimi's car, but I can...

I'd imagine Hamilton will pick No7, Alonso No5, Raikkonen anything he's given, Rosberg No3 and Massa No2...

Yeah, N2 for Massa should be in the contract!

Vlad

Alonso. He loses to Kimi and his stock will fall rather dramatically given most seem to assume Kimi isn't the driver he was 8/9 years ago. If Kimi loses to Alonso then it was expected by the paddock really. I think most of the F1 set expect Alonso to have the upper hand. I also think they expect hi...

Vlad

I think Kimi is the last person in the planet that the words "under pressure" mean something. This is the guy that was sleeping half an hour before his biggest day, his debut Don't forget the ice cream! Yeah, if Kimi will be interested Kimi will put an effort and be winning. If not... Anyway, words...

Vlad

Why on earth would they take out their driver who is leading the championship out of a race? He disobeyed team orders? Fine him. Dock him wages. But they are never ever EVER going to force him to sit out a race over something as internal as this Fining a driver who earns tens of millions - is admit...

Vlad

Terrible race from Kimi. Poor start and then just couldn't overtake. That was a pathetic display of racecraft. Really? Kimi is just keep doing EXACTLY what he was doing last season. Making sure he doesn't loose any points to stupid accidents. Which allowed him to bring way slower car the 3rd place....

Vlad

Didn't like Vettel much before, and like him even less now. Kid that will never grow up... If I was team owner I would sit him out next race no matter what it costs me. Because obviously it's like with dogs - it you don't show him HARD who is the boss - he'll never learn. And then Mark will never tr...

Vlad

Not that I was surprised by Ferrari effing up the good thing they have. But HOW CAN YOU SEND A DRIVER WITH BROKEN WING ON ANOTHER LAP????? Where they drunk, or high, or both? All of them?

Vlad

I too don't know that much about Macau. Is the track layout particularly dangerous or does the format for their on track sessions lend itself to these problems? I haven't heard of it being an especially dangerous event, and its been around for a long time. Very, very sorry to read about the inciden...

Vlad

There's always a trade off between aggression and consistency. Alonso has chosen to be more aggressive this season than he traditionally is, IMO to his advantage. The incident with Kimi happened because Alonso was too aggressive with the corner entry. That cost him lets say 15 points. I think he ha...

Vlad

Did it bother / insult / offend me? No Do I think it shouldn't happen? Yes They are only words, but their inappropriate use is known to offend. If you think it is ok to say or do things in public that are known to offend others, fortunately you are in the minority. Which is why, on average, society...

Vlad

Seriously, it's not even about whether or not it's offensive, it's about maturity. Swearing doesn't bother me at all, and the list of things that I'm actually offended by is one word long (racism), but it's still disrespectful. These guys earn millions upon millions of dollars and are world-famous ...

Vlad

Here's my take on it - It doesn't bother me, but at the same time I don't see why people should swear when there are plenty of other words they could use. But who is to decide what words should be used and what shouldn't? F word is a very common, widespread word, everybody knows it, half (or so) of...

Vlad

As a whole i think this season has showed that Lotus has lacked the winning attitude here. Team and it's boss should always be looking up for a win, especially for a team that Lotus has been this season. It just could be that Kimi has brought a bit of that winner attitude by not settling for second...

Vlad

While I enjoyed his comments very much, he seems extra tiddled today! You should see me when I'm trying to solder some tiny little thing into a tight space... or laying carbon fiber with epoxy hardening fast... and than wife comes with all-important question of what to wear for the dinner... It was...

Vlad

I don't think the issue here is that the swearing was offensive, but rather that the connotation, not of the individual words, but the use of swear words in general is not particularly tolerable for international viewing. I like Cricket. Most of the players are absolute gentlemen (the women too), a...

Vlad

Anyone else surprised by Vettel's language? He only did it because Kimi swore first... Bit silly though. There are kids watching. Felt sorry for DC. So kids don't know those words? Really? I find it silly placing self-taboo to exclude two most used words of modern English from "official speak". It'...

Vlad

Why should anybody replace him? He is a young driver who is very fast, but still learning. Just as with Maldonado. Give the guys a chance to learn. Penalize them when they deserve it, but give them a break. Heaven knows that even experienced drivers make mistakes... much less when they were new to ...

Oh, what a great day. It was almost as good as last race of 2007. At least it seems now. I never really expected Lotus to win this year at all. Not this late in the season, not with 7th fastest car on a grid. The question was - can he hang on to 3rd in WDC or probably not... And that would be a grea...

Vlad

:) Really happy for Kimi today. So glad hes won. Yes, I don't think he had the pace of Lewis, so no doubt there will be cries of him being "gifted" the win. but at the same time, you have to be in a position to take advantage of opertunities, and he did that by driving a stong race, making a good s...
