The Mansell/Mclaren debacle was beyond embarrassing, and thankfully for "our Noige" most people have forgotten it. Vettel is past his prime, pure and simple. His last race win (Singapore 2019) was in a car that had dubious legality. I think he genuinely cracked when he got demolished by Ricciardo at...

He was treated very poorly, in the way they announced his departure. I suppose even today, apart from having a rich daddy to get into F1, it also pays to have an engine supplier who demands a driver from their country be in one of their powered cars. That's very unfair on Tsunoda and strikes me as ...

Juans Girl

Even if it was consensual, and I have my serious doubts that it was, it was still in poor taste, and someone who had just scored an F1 drive should've known better than to put it on social media. Though looking at his background, it explains why he did what he did If she were jerking him off in the ...

The fact that even the drivers and other team members were in awe when the car was doing laps tells you something.

Sound wise, todays cars are a major disappointment

A very sad day now that Ron Dennis is completely out of Mclaren. I would dearly like to know what caused the rift between himself and Ojjeh. Dennis made the team and company what it is today, and i find it astonishing at how he was ousted. He also played a big part in shaping how F1 is today, as far...

I think it is safer if I refrain from voting for now. :D (I have just taken another look at the accident, and measured the distance between Rosberg's car and the outside of the track, at the moment the outside car drives over the inside car's wing...) Pardon me if I am wrong in my assumption, thoug...

Diabolical move by Rosberg. Brings back memories of Schumacher and some of his moves. Nico needs to admit he stuffed up , and quit with the dumb comments like "I was on the inside so I dictated the line". Like I said, last time I saw arrogance and poor driving of this level was when his countryman u...

Juans Girl

I think he was 100% justified in making the comments on the podium. Silly decisions/mistakes made by the team have cost him two wins in a row. For a guy that's usually so reserved and happy go lucky, you can feel the frustration. Anyone who says his comments were unjustified obviously has some sort ...

I don't think there was a conspiracy, but.... the crew taking off the tyres was straight there, so where were the crew with the tyres ? The tyres wouldn't exactly be sitting at the back of the pits. They were due a pit stop so these should've been ready. And what's with this useless fascination of l...

[quote="wire2004 The 4th image is the damming image for Nico. Lewis has his car alongside Nico. And Lewis is still in the track. No he is not. He already has two wheels on the grass. The second image shows when he should have decided to back off or go wide. There was no room for another car there. ...

What a dumb arrogant move by Rosberg at he first corner. Loses 2nd place and nearly takes out Hamilton. Only reason he moved so far left was to stop any chance of Hamilton getting through.

End of story

F1 never has been, and does not need to be at the pinnacle of automotive technology. Numerous times over the years certain systems that even your basic road car has, have been banned from F1. The V6 engines have been a huge failure. From the lack of noise, to the over the top technology associated w...

If there's one thread where the posters' answer is heavily based on whether they support one driver or the other, this is it. It sticks out like dog's balls.

To answer the question, did the affected driver think he was forced off the track ?

Juans Girl

Most here are probably too young to remember, but Senna used to criticize his engines in the press conferences after he had just WON the race. Alonso had every right to diss that lump of sh1t that Honda calls an engine. It's performance was beyond embarrassing. What he showed today was sheer frustra...

They're trying to generate as much power output as the others from a smaller PU. It's not that easy. They have not succeeded yet but they do not deserve some of the hate and ridicule some of you guys are giving them. The size of the PU is locked in and cannot be easily (if at all) changed no matter...

Juans Girl

In Dennis' defence, was it his decision or Whitmarsh to go with Honda ? Martin Withmarsh rose through the McLaren hierarchy to the level of his own incompetence and was probably promoted several times thereafter, until Ron Dennis appointed him to Team Principal. The entire fiasco begins and ends wi...

Juans Girl

With all due respect to the OP, I find it an odd question, and here's why. Don't they currently supply a handful of other teams, which on any given day and with a bit of luck could beat them ? Didn't they until recently supply engines to McLaren, who when they have their act together could also have...

This guy has had rotten luck when it comes to team choices. He should've been either in a Merc or Ferrari by now, with his obvious talent

Maybe a new management team is in order

Mercedes only cares about winning in a runaway. I question whether or not that is good for the sport.

Obviously you weren't watching F1 over a decade ago when Ferrari was dominating in a similar fashion.

Juans Girl

You're right, Honda has no racing pedigree. Does your computer not work? Pedigree doesn't win you races. What they did 30 years ago, or even 5 years ago has absolutely no relevance to today whatsoever . That's a ridiculous argument and I am not quite sure where you were going with it. We spend WAY ...

The guy is a tool. You get the impression if he ever lost the Sky job, there wouldn't be too many tears shed in the paddock.

Same goes for Pinkham

I don't think they are in danger of going bankrupt, but this monetary shortfall has got to hurt. Teams are in F1 to make money (privateers) and/or to advertise a brand (Merc, Ferrari), no other reason. To do either of these you need to win or be up the pointy end (or have generous pay drivers). McLa...

As F1Tyrant said, it's a marmite issue. To me Kravitz is car crash television. I only watch to see who is going to thump him first. I was hoping it was going to be Smedley. Whilst I find his questioning of track personnel irritating and in most cases counter-productive, his attitude and sly asides ...

Juans Girl

Where it also gets tricky is the team that should've complained to the stewards about it would be complaining about a team that also happens to be their engine supplier.

Juans Girl

Does anyone else find Kravitz as irritating as I do ? He swaggers around the paddock as if he has carte blanche access to anything and anyone he wants. He's also what I consider a journalistic troll, intentionally asking questions he knows he won't get the answer he wants to, and achieving nothing b...

Brundle mentioned the comments to Dennis when he interviewed him on Sky. Dennis's reply was something along the lines of EJ being the village idiot of F1.

He's not wrong

Juans Girl

There's very little doubt that the team favoured Vettel. Their actions at the Turkish GP in 2010 when the accident was 100% Vettel's fault highlighted that. Marko, who I think really runs Red Bull and not the wimp Horner, was always pro Vettel. Even the most hard headed driver would lose motivation ...

Juans Girl

Agree on there being a slight advantage by having a much closer technical relationship with the engine supplier, but lets not forget thst there are many other factors that lead to overall speed and lap times. The gulf between Mercedes and the other Merc powered cars cannot all be put down to just en...

Juans Girl

I also don't buy the notion that you can't win without a "works" engine. On the other hand, what constitutes a "works" engine ? Red Bull creamed the opposition for four straight years with what is effectively a customer engine, Whether you pay for the engine or not has nothing to do with whether its...

McLaren and Honda have always said this is a long term project. We're 5 races into that project and whilst it has been an appalling start lets see where they are in 2016/17. If they aren't a race winning team by that stage then I think you can say its been a disaster, 5 races in I don't think you c...

I think Alonso's decision making has been a bit bizarre. He may have had his reasons for leaving Ferrari (that only he and his inner circle know), though in hindsight he should've looked at what was available before making the decision. if his decision was because he wanted to be in a race winning c...

Jesus, what a joke.

So if he blew four engines in the first two or three races, he sits out the year ?

Bring back Mosley. Todt has lost the plot

Dan's Engine is lost. What a stupid, stupid rule.

Now that Magnussen's engine lunched itself, does this come off Alonso's allocation ?

Symonds was interviewed on Sky and said if Bottas doesn't race in Malaysia that Wolff is not guaranteed the seat.

And no, chick is not derogatory.
