Easily Alonso, anyone else with those tyres would have been off the track and way out of the fight for a podium.

Vivi

A few days ago I voted F616 because I started thinking of the Marvel Earth-616 continuity... apparently my choice was poor.

Agreed, takes a lot of the confusion out of it and gives you an idea of what should be going on.

Sounds like he had a lucid interval after the initial impact which is why it initially seemed to be no biggie. Always a threat with head trauma. A similar thing happened to Natasha Richardson after her skiing accident. Pulling for him... Thankfully the difference here is that he was wearing a helme...

Vivi

Perhaps he means in terms of car info getting out to other teams, surely pr events don't need a ban seeing as talking about them on twitter can only help.
Either that or LdM is a major control freak. (very likely)

Vivi

It seems to me Ferrari abandoned this years car (to develop next years) not long after the new tyres came in. I think Mercedes did similar a bit later and Lotus had long run out of money. I think these factors contributed more to Vettels/RB dominance than the tyre change. Mostly this, once everyone...

Vivi

Question, since Mark is being personally sponsored by Red Bull and that whole rumor of a Red Bull junior squad driver potentially joining him is there any chance that Red Bull are using this as a way to get a foot in the WEC side? And if so is it then just small sponsor or something bigger?

Vivi

I can't confirm it but I saw someone on tumblr say that everyone except Ricciardo on the dirty side lost at least one place at the start.

Vivi

I am intrigued as to what his arrogance led to, selfish demands? Just not being great with feedback? PR issues? etc.

Vivi

Have to be honest, the sceptic in me finds the timing suspect. Only 24 hours ago we were hearing that he was taking the SWB car to Austin, and now suddenly his back's so bad that he needs surgery immediately? Hmm. One wonders if he hadn't already been leaving Lotus whether he wouldn't have waited.....

Vivi

It kind of seems like things fell into place, I don't doubt he loves racing but being in pain and not being for it has got to be a blow on the old motivation and now he can finally get his back sorted so he can be at his best at the start of 2014. Though I have to say the whole theory of letting the...

Vivi

You know what, no bs here. I don't like Perez, I always thought it was the biggest mistake last year for Mclaren to sign him, from what I've seen this year if it wasn't for Button's unfortunate first lap incidents lately chances are he would have got past Perez in the later stages of the races anywa...

Barbara Proske, just for the giggles this was the last picture she tweeted.

I voted Alonso and Massa, aka the two drivers that prevented me from falling asleep.

*Streaker runs past*
Sebastion and Fernando: What the chocolate fudge cake?!.
Lewis: Oh this is being tweeted.
Grosjean: ...Nice...
Bottas: Meh, mines bigger.

No, in the hopes my vote will cause some strange cosmic event to happen that makes the McLaren bigshots not be blinded by the possibility of Telmex. Unfortunately like others have said the amount of compliments Whitmarsh is throwing at him leads me to believe they are trying to make the decision to ...

Probably not. But it'd be interesting to see what he could do in another team, perhaps further down the grid, like a Sauber or Caterham. I would love to see that, shake things up with a midfield team really outright fighting for wins consistently . keep in mind that they don't have the budget RedBu...

Vivi

I think they were trying to make it more interesting but completely fluffed it by taking it too far. Heck we saw Hamilton's race completely wrecked from the tiniest tap. More often then not cars can't try to overtake for long or else their tires get murdered so you end up with trains forming until s...

Oh he can work it out, he's just not allowed to say.

Genuinely never seen someone come from so far back and brake so late than in this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzFDvZhntvQ Whilst that overtake does look great with the gap closing like that I can't help but cringe at how easily he could have taken them both out of the race, a moment where b...

If his height/weight stops him getting a better seat it's a crime.

Vivi

So, instead of having the back markers overtake, and drive all the way round to catch up, they do the following: - Safety car out - Everyone pits, etc. - Clean track - Race control picks a lap - All lapped cars directed to drive into pit lane, don't box - Pit light red - Lapped cars stack, in order...

Slow puncture straight after he pitted and then his car goes on fire after Sutil crashed into him.

And that pit stop put him on tires that would be a miracle to get to the end with.

I could be completely wrong but I believe 20 is Kobayashi.

I took a look at this after Webber retweeted it. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/motorsport/mark-webber-says-he-has-starved-for-years-as-formula-one-struggles-with-heavy-drivers-20131004-2uyfu.html 'The issue of driver weight is a long-standing one in formula one.

Vivi

So then they want it increased so they're not pressured to lose weight to make the combination just above 690kg and have lots of stuff to help the car perform better as opposed to whole thing being heavier and losing speed? I think I've got it now. Maybe.

Vivi

So I read an article about some drivers wanting an increase in the weight limit next year and whilst reading I realised I don't fully understand the weight limits. It says a 'minimum of 690kg' next year dose that mean car and driver need to be under that? But over a number I don't know so they don't...

It still bugs be how people think Malaysia is the ONLY reason people boo Vettel, Mark gets more support from people because he makes the effort to interact with them. It's not the reason, it's the direct cause. The more I think about it, the more I simply can't believe the real reason is anything o...

Vivi

Chances are if you crash at Singapore you're going to look a little stupid for doing so, I'm not surprised he'd try to shift blame away from himself and considering he hasn't finished the last four races prospects for a better car aren't looking too great.

Vivi

I don't know if I'm just desensitised or something but I still think this is being blown out of proportion. Both Alonso and Raikkonen slowed down after spotting Webber, Raikkonen on the outside carried on when he realised Alonso was going to give him a lift. Alonso had pretty much stopped by that po...

If this is about what the CCTV shows I still don't see it deserving a reprimand, guess I need to see the full footage.

Vivi

Is this true? I actually have no words for this.

Vivi

I almost feel bad for not feeling bad. I like Hulk so during the first part of the season I didn't like seeing the team he left having a much better car compared to one he got.

Vivi

So I don't know much about F1 history but from what I've seen in the RB dominant years they seem to be great at having a stupidly fast car that likes to have bits and pieces break or cause concern.
Has this always been the case for them or previous cars Newey has had a big part of?

Vivi

How were the stewards supposed to know Hulk had to leave the track or not? The stewards make their decisions based on what they see, not on guessing drivers' intentions. And because of this, Hulk should simply stay on the track. If Perez pushes him out, then Perez will be penalised. Perez would hav...

Vivi

I think Alonso by the end of the season will have a 27 point lead over Raikkonen with Raikkonen getting the majority of his points in the second half. And if I'm anywhere near correct with this then I'm buying myself a cake.
