Whilst Verstappen & Raikkonen made contact first, this was only due to Verstappen being squeezed by Vettel. Vettel tried the old grid start trick by storming across hoping to cut in front of all opponents. He must not have realised Max & Kimi were already alongside though so the misjudgement cost t...

Alonso won't agree to join a team where he's not going to be treated as No.1 driver so rule out Mercedes 100%.

stranger

whatever theory u have, there's only one theory that stands, track record. We all know what happened in the past to Webber. It probably isn't as obvious as Alonso during his Mclaren days. But comparisons to Webber can't be ignored. Yep, they can Its easy to look back at some of the bias in the Vett...

stranger

Ricciardo easily driver of the day for me.

But agree with most that Checo, Fernando and Lewis also drove superbly.

stranger

To make such a mistake is almost inconceivable, but until we know the exact facts, which may never be revealed, its just nonsense going on about conspiracies. At the end of the day Ricciardo should have won if it wasn't for his team's bizarre mess in the pits, we all know it, he just needs to keep d...

Wow, 11 pages even though Lewis has accepted the blame according to Lauda. Impressive I'm sure in Lauda's eyes, Lewis is to blame. He would not want his drivers going erratically for position so early in the race. By the rule book, from what i understand at least, he didn't break any rule. At best ...

Leaving the rules out of the mess, I go back to my statement that you can win the race on the first lap.. seems that Jackie Stewart agrees, well and a bit more I guess on his part. http://www.planetf1.com/news/stewart-mercedes-should-fine-hamilton/ Must say its probably the only time I can recall e...

stranger

No, I don't consider slamming the door shut when somebody is already partly next to you as good racing. The door was already being slammed when Lewis decided to try and put his fingers in between. But it was not shut. And like Hamilton could/should, according to some, have anticipated the gap was g...

stranger

As much as I love Nico, its clearly his fault, Lewis came in hot but coming in hot is not against the rules. Moving over when your opponent has come alongside you (even though I know it was only just), is however considered an illegal move. Nico says he was surprised that Lewis went for such a small...

stranger

Ricciardo for me - however Verstappen looking hot on his tail already so will be interesting to see how the year pans out.

stranger

And as for examples from 2014, Monaco 2014 for one, I don't recall Lewis anywhere in sight as Nico rolled over passed the chequered flag. You might argue that Lewis was affected by some dirt in his eye, that's fine, but then don't tell me that Nico has never pulled a sizeable gap, coz it happened. ...

stranger

Nico has never once pulled away from Lewis when they've ran together and whenever Lewis has been behind he has been catching or hounding him. That would be tough for Lewis to take. Did you manage to watch the previous race in Spain? Or what about any of season 2014? Or other years? You are a fair w...

It would have been wrong of the team to ask this and created even more disharmony in the camp. Agree. Would have been weird hearing the team over the radio, "Nico, due to a team screw-up we have misjudged Lewis' pit stop, do you kindly mind moving back over and letting him win?" You know what, I ma...

I know its been mentioned a few times over, but if Ricciardo was to partner Vettel at Ferrari 2016 it would be an excellent move for him I think. I don't think it will happen, but if it did I would just love seeing Seb's face cringe at the thought of another year of being dominated. He'd be quick to...

stranger

Certainly has no bearing on 'driver of the day', but it was interesting to see Daniel Ricciardo give back that position to Kvyat after Kvyat gave it to him earlier.

We all know what Sebastian Vettel would have done in that situation.

stranger

For the sake of the championship it was well worth watching Nico win. Certainly feel for Lewis, he deserved it, simple as that. Unfortunately however, that's motorsport, and sport in general. Lewis dropped from 1st to 3rd, well, there's been many times a definite winner has dropped more than just 2 ...

stranger

A small tidbit - if this does go ahead - and local news saying it will - then daylight savings ends on the raceday so practice and qualifying is on daylight savings time - and race is on Oz eastern standard time. That is correct. Initially I thought this might indicate a night race but now it seems...

stranger

Certainly has to be Vettel who has the most to prove.

He is arguably the only driver who has the pressure of his career coming to a crashing end if his teammate gets the better of him.

stranger

Certainly good news, not bad, to have more teams in the sport. I just don't hold much hope they will last long unless they can get much more funding.

stranger

I may be going to Budapest this year, in fact its very likely. Anyone got any suggestions for a good corner? Looking most likely at a grandstand position, or what's G.A like?

I'll be at the World Championship stand at the Melb GP this weekend, same as last year, love this spot!

Being an Aussie, I was a fan of Dan's pre-F1. Nevertheless after what we saw Dan do in a competitive car in 2014 its understandable many have started to like him. Came into Red Bull after Seb had reined 4 years as champ on the trot, and absolutely cleaned his clock from the word go. Eventually sent ...

stranger

Jev doesn't seem all that bad but perhaps there's more the team can see than all of us. I'd have liked to see Perez, Bottas, Hulk or even Grosjean in that Red Bull seat but hey lets see what the kid can do. Red Bull seem to like to stick to their own drivers, other than Webber, Coulthard, Klien & fe...

stranger

With Daniel in the team he has no hope at Red Bull so his decision to leave is understandable.

Kimi will prove to be a tough competitor but surely Sebastian has no excuse if he can't beat him.

stranger

I'm pleased to see that all this silly nonsense is put to bed now that Vettel eclipsed Dan in Singapore. If only Dan's car would run with dodgy hybrid power more often (like Webber's KERS seemed to do much of the time), then Seb would continue handing him a big can of whupass for the rest of the se...

stranger

The assertion that the team doesn't know why Vettel is slower simply tells us it can't be anything relating to the car. If it was relating to the car, tyres, handling etc, they would see it in the data. They can't see it coz its not there, he is simply too slow for Daniel and its understandable that...

stranger

Hakkinen was burnt out, he retired at the end of the season, i don't think Vettel has got to that stage yet? In all fairness to Vettel, his workload at RBR in the car, at the track after hours, at the factory/simulator, fitness training, doing PR, etc. is as high as it gets in the sport and is pret...

stranger

If Sebastian had only struggled for pace for 1, 2, 3 or maybe even 4 races, but then finally got it together, it would make sense to the claim that he simply wasn't able to easily adjust to the 2014 car. Fact is, he has struggled and been slower than his less experienced teammate for just about ever...

stranger

Red Bull now going to rebuild another new car for Vettel. Sadly they don't understand that now that RB is no longer the best car, and now that Seb has a competative teammate without a steel rod in his leg & who is also in his prime, that Seb's domination is all over. Daniel is just way, way too goo...

stranger

Sick of reading people write that Vettel is burned out, tired, drained, like as if he is some old man on the verge of retirement..

Stop making me laugh, its the most pathetic excuse any sportsman can give for 'losing'.

stranger

Seb outperformed Dan all weekend, but the team messed him up on strategy again. The moment I saw him pitting I was thinking it was way too early, and that they were going to cost him a good result, and it proved to be. Another great drive from Dan but Seb really deserves better than the results hav...

stranger

We can all argue about Sebastian's abilities till the end of time.

But what is no argument is that he is no match for Daniel. Absolutely being smashed by his teammate.

Haven't seen any driver be this bad compared to his teammate in a long time.

stranger

It could all turn around in one race. Ricciardo fans - or any other driver's fans really - would be foolish to discount a Vettel resurgence, especially as we get into the second half of the calendar. Vettel is getting outpaced and outraced by Dan race after race now, I wouldn't say Seb can't beat h...

If you don't want to attend or watch F1 races hosted by countries who have invaded other countries, then I'm just wondering if you had stopped watching the US, Australian & British GP's at the time they invaded other countries such as Iraq in 2003?

F1Oz wrote:Dan deserved the win - but he was clearly helped by Vettel holding up others for multiple laps - great driving from 'both' and why not acknowledge it?

I certainly do acknowledge that Vettel did a great job as no.2 driver.

I remember hearing somewhere that due to the lack of running in Friday Practice Vettel used Ricciardo's setup for qualifying and race. Wow, your hearing really goes places. If only you could get away with using that as a real excuse hey. LOL. Using the same set up as Daniel really is an excuse for ...
