NBCSportsPR ‏@NBCSportsPR Apr 9 RATINGS: Sunday's F1 Bahrain Grand Prix averaged 594,000 viewers, most for non-domestic F1 race on cable since 2011. Any US viewers know if NBC have promoted F1 more this year? Hence the higher ratings. Either way interesting that there is a increase for all three rac...

I don't believe people do it because he is black, although I do find it annoying how the media like to perpetuate the idea that Lewis is somehow less cerebral, analytical or intelligent compared to his team-mates (mainly in reference to Jenson and Nico) when the likes of Paddy Lowe and Phil Prew hav...

Generally when you have these tragic events sport tends to go on, in the case of terrorism perhaps events continue in order to show the perpetrators that their actions will not stop peoples lives (The British Grand Prix and several cricket games between England and Australia took place just days aft...

I was going to do a list of my own but actually I realised it would have just been a repeat of the OP's list, which is spot on!

Senna88

I'd actually forgotten how good Kubica was in 2010, he was consistent and had many good drives to the podium.

Some of Jarno's performances at Toyota I feel are greatly underrated. Some of his qualifying laps in 2005 were immense although Ralf usually came through better in the race. I think Ralf in particular began to suffer from de motivation I remember many times when Brundle would interview him on the gr...

The races at the back end of 2004 were great as Ferrari and Schumacher struggled after securing the title and everyone else was very closely matched meaning there were some great, competitive races. 2002 was utter dross aside from France there was not a single race that was entertaining apart from m...

Senna88

I don't see Lewis driving for Ferrari, I think the tifosi would love him because of his driving style but there's too much politics that goes on at Ferrari and I reckon Lewis is sensible enough to stay away from that. Mercedes is a good environment for him and he is already liked within the team so ...

Senna88

I think the OP's list is actually pretty good from an objective point of view so I will try to do the same! 1. Canada 2011 - Drama from start to finish and an overtake for the lead on the last lap which does not happen too often, and the guy who won visited the pits 6 times! 2. Brazil 2012 - Humding...

Lots of sexual tension between Seb and Pinkham on the drivers parade. Quite funny.

Senna88

Qualy could be an absolute lottery unless it dries up, so many drivers who have had little running. Should be quite interesting.

Senna88

Problem is that Rosberg comes from a country with so many drivers in recent years so it's maybe quite difficult to stand out. There's also the fact that Vettel is so dominant chances are most Germans are going to back the four time champion over the occasional race winner. What I did notice in Germa...

Senna88

With drivers it often just comes down to luck and being in the right place at the right time. I have been incredibly lucky to have contact with Hamilton and Hakkinen. I only got a photo with Lewis as it was a grand prix weekend in Canada and so he was in rush but with Mika it was at Donington and so...

Senna88

Neutrality I find myself agreeing with all your posts as a fellow Raikkonen fan. Good to see some sense and rationality on this subject.

Senna88

I thought some of the responses from Kimi fans on twitter were pathetic and at times downright disturbing, on that occasion they seemed more like teenage one direction fans more than anything else. However, it's also naive to think that this is restricted to Raikkonen fans. Remember Brazil last year...

Senna88

All evidence points to Kimi being decent at qualifying and not great. The only anomaly is that is the season and half he did alongside Montoya, who Kimi easily beat. Montoya was very good over one lap but just did not perform at Mclaren. 2005 is a lot of where Kimi's reputation came from but he was...

Senna88

Because they have a British racing license. They have to have the Union Jack on the podium. On the car they can have whatever flag they want if the team says yes. What I have never figured out is how Eddie Irvine had a British passport but an Irish racing licence and it was ordered that the Union J...

Senna88

He has just won the Renault 3.5 title and now I reckon McLaren are making a lot of phones calls! if McLaren 'loan' him to Marussia it wouldn't be a bad move but I wonder if a year in GP2 would be just asv good , make a deal with him if he finishes the championship in the top 3 he gets a drive for 2...

Senna88

Another pointless thread trying to dissect a driver's character when the poster and indeed none of us here know anything about the driver's character behind the scenes. But hey don't let that stop you from starting a tabloid esque thread.

Senna88

His big mouth and belief in entitlement is going to make life hard for him . How does his "buddy" Rosberg feel now? How does his team feel, since the obvious reason why is that the team is not giving him a good enough car. And he was doing so good, at the start of the season he was humble and groun...

Senna88

Have to say I really enjoyed that notebook, great insight into the behind the scenes of the media area. More interested in this kind of thing as I worked in the media centre at Wimbledon in the summer and actually met a guy from Sky Deutschland who was part of their F1 team. Those guys in trucks wor...

I'm sure Vettel will appreciate being booed by three men and a dog.

Senna88

Lol, Farina is like one of those League 1/2 sides that luck their way into the Quarter-Finals of the FA Cup only to be torn apart by Manchester United! Good to see Senna winning another battle with Prost.

Senna88

Bit difficult for me to vote on some of these considering I have not even heard of guys like Phil Hill, Hulme and Farina. Can only really call judgement on modern drivers.

Senna88

Hamilton in Silverstone 2008: He literally dominated the race and never placed a wheel wrong but bear in mind that before the first pit stop Kimi was a few seconds behind and closing the gap rather quickly. The fact that Ferrari didn't change Kimi's tires at that stop killed his chances of challeng...

Senna88

There are some good sports bars in Central London which generally always show F1 races, not so sure If you will be able to watch Korea in a pub live probably only the re run.

Senna88

In the long term I'd take Alonso-Hamilton, but in the short Kimi is probably the better option as he at this stage is the more complete package compared to Lewis but by 2015 I'd say Lewis will be the driver people will have always expected him be to considering his vast talent.

Senna88

Yeah Jan Lammers I think had ten years between two grand prix, which is pretty incredible.

No... Senna, it is not a "massive assumption". I was here in the forum when he left, and I read the posts. If you were not, and did not see them, then you have no clue about it do you? Also, you will note that I said... "it would SEEM that some are still tiddled at him". However, when it comes to M...

Senna88

He does have talent... did then, still does. His "scrapping for points" netted him two 3rd place WDC finishes in the Schumacher/Barrichello era at Ferrari. Not bad for scrapping in something a bit less than the best car. His scrapping for points in NASCAR reflects two things... 1.) just because it ...

Senna88

Why would he return when he's slagged the sport off so much since leaving? He was one of my favourite drivers when at Williams but he really never showed the required commitment when at McLaren, it's no coincidence that at McLaren many of the mechanics gravitated towards Kimi due to the way he was w...

DC is great, he is the best bit of their coverage. He always ask's good questions to team bosses etc which are usually questions that I want asked, and he seems to have the respect of the drivers as well. Some of the features he has done this year have been superb like the Jim Clark piece (great for...

Anyone know where I can find a list of the fastest in the speed trap in that session?

Senna88

I hate people who still put down people in Britain not liking Vettel due to him being German, it's bullcrap. Fair enough gutter media like the sun still harbour anti German sentiment when it comes to world cups etc but if booing Vettel at Silverstone was down to him being German then why was the win...

Senna88

I don't really care for the technological side of things as all I really want to see is close racing between quality drivers so the current era is doing me just fine, no need for rose tinted spectacles

Senna88

The inconsistency of the game drives me up the wall, take career mode for example I have had some great races on there and some realistic situations like abandoning development on the Mercedes mid season which meant in the my third year I had a bullet of a car out of the blocks! With me and Nico rac...
