I can't help but agree with this.. You can say she was with a lower Merc team in DTM but the fact is that her teammates were scoring points/podiums while she could barely break the top 10 Except they didn't look at the 2012 results for starters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_DTM_season Her team...

Just because she doesn't have a pair of actual *Definitely True* doesn't mean she's any worse than any other pay driver we have ever seen. No, of course not. Her totally unremarkable record speaks for that. And comparing her to the worst drivers in previous decades is stupid. The level of talent in...

I thought that instead of complaining because someone with a vagina will be driving an F1 car on a bloody shakedown test, you'd think motorsport fans would be up in arms about the near-death of the British F3 championship. You know, the hallowed championship that all the F1 greats have competed in?...

Almost like she knows someone at the top of the company. Wolff wasn't involved. He wasn't at the table when the board discussed it. Imo, though an attempt at fairness, you probably still want to appease Wolff regardless of his presence in the actual discussion or not. I do not believe she'd have go...

At the the time I remember thinking that both penalties were unnecessary.

I agree

Just by going by last seasons results he has to be favourite, depends on what progress other teams can make but Red Bull will always be competitive

Kobayashi won GP2 Asia Webber was F3000 runner up. Raikkonen Blitzed FR2000 winning 7/10 races. Wolff hasn't won anything and hasn't been close to being competitive in any series since finishing 5th in FRUK nearly a decade ago. Kobayashi was rubbish in GP2 proper though. Showed no merits for an F1 ...

She may be ok test driver. Luca Baoder wasn't amazing race driver in 2009 or eralier, but he must have been really good test driver as he had that role at Scuderia Ferrari for over 10 years.

Going to be interesting to see what both say when/if they run into each other at some point (on track!) When has that happened in the last 3 years? Malaysia 2011 comes to mind.

It would be quite embarassing though, if you're going to put a woman in a F1 car put one in that won't be laughed at How do you know it would be embarrassing? Got a crystal ball?

It's a straight line test. No biggie. But if your tiddled about that you are going to be well tiddled off when she starts driving on Fridays.

Off the top of my head: Giovanni Lavaggi Yuji Ide Ricardo Rossett In fairness, Toto Wolff's money will be helping significantly. Chanoch Nissany, Jean Denis Delatraz as well.

I think everyone wants to see Vettel in the same team as either Alonso, Hamilton or Raikonnen.

A shakedown just makes sure all the wires are connected and it isn't going to go *kaboom* if the race drivers apply the throttle slightly. If Suzie Wolff gets a little exposure, then good on her. There's been worse drivers given a race seat . Such as? Off the top of my head: Giovanni Lavaggi Yuji I...

I'd like to see more pro drivers take part, but other than F1 there aren't that many high profile drivers who would be worth booking. Loeb, Solberg, Rossi, Toseland, Montoya, Villenueve, Jimmie Johnston, Dario, McNish, Shedden, Plato (5th Gear isn't on now), Neal, Prialux.... All non F1 guys who ha...

Well last time he didn't have the best conditions and still set a competitive time. Not checked, but iirc Button managed the same time with a 'hot' lap to Lewis on a 'damp/oily' lap. As much as I'm looking forward to it, I'd much rather see some new blood taking part - Maldonado, Grosjean or Perez ...

I find their constant complimenting pretty funny, they keep doing it and Vettel keeps winning titles. I do genuinely believe that they think highly of each other, but does Hamilton really think Alonso is the best driver in the world? Doesn't he think he's better than him and vice versa? I think tha...

I find it odd how poles on this forum show that most people think the two best drivers are Alonso and Hamilton but if either of them think that they must be playing mind games! Could be that they actually agree with the majority. You do realize this is a British forum..Hamilton fans will have no pr...

Just friggin get rid of DRS altogether and let the drivers overtake normally.

GO SUPER PEDRO. Why are they putting Pedro to good use but didn't do so with Fisi? Both are hugely experienced, strikes me as a missed opportunity for the past 3 cars... I think Alonso rates Pedro as a good test driver possibly from his time at McLaren, it could be his influence that got Pedro the ...

But Newey has turned down Ferrari more than that once before. Even if Horner goes that way I can't see Newey following. iirc when he was with McLaren and was approached by Ferrari, he didn't want to go mainly cause he wanted to stay in England.

Odd to say the least, I wonder what could have happened to make him miss the first test. I doubt it's something to do with a sponsor agreement because, its the first test and they don't usually have 4-day events. Unless they just want to get Pedro in the car for a while. Is not the first test by an...

The trouble is that there are only so many seats available in F1 and drivers without budgets have to show that they have something more not to give than the pay drivers, only problem is the so called pay drivers are themselves very good so if you're shown to be no better than a pay driver then don't...

As for the poll question, I don't think Rosberg will suffer a Kovalainen-style humiliation at Hamilton's hands, but I do expect Nico to be comfortably beaten. But are 'we' underestimating Rosberg? I don't know. He is ranked 8th overall in the 'rank the drivers 2012' thread, behind Webber and Hulken...

pokerman

I just genuinely believe that if Rosberg were a truly elite talent, he would have beaten Schumacher convincingly over the last couple years. I don't include 2010 in that, since Schumacher was very poor and absolutely no competition whatsoever bar two or three decent drives. Leaving the points from ...

But i'm guessing Alonso would not be looking to step down mid season like Massa had to do in 2010?
