Kubica, because while Gasly is getting thumped by Max, everyone heralds Max as one of the top drivers in the sport. GR is still a rookie, and he is putting the wood to Kubica like Robert stole his girlfriend. This is not the Robert Kubica we once knew. This is the pay driver who doesn't even deserve...

Carmen "Easy Way Out" Jorda needs to shut the bleep up. It's insulting to women, tbh. I wouldn't want my daughter settling for second best when she can aim higher. It also doesn't speak well of her confidence or drive when she supports these notions publicly. I'm the first to tell you that men and w...

Impressive. I don't mind the aesthetics, they seem extremely functional.

Ferrari isn't vastly ahead it seems You believe Ferrari were running on their true potential? They are being coy. They have to be on a heavier fuel load. No one will come to know of the true pecking order till Q1. No point being too coy. Horner pegs Mercedes. Seems about right. It's too late for op...

Not sure if pobratings mentioned it yet, but which driver is closest to the ratings benchmark? I'd love to know what your system pegs at the average driver.

Would the championship have been any different under the old 90's points system? I just think you have increased reliability now, and so many races on the calendar, that you can win a WDC easier without the most wins. I think it's a number of factors in play here. I have no problems with it. I'm a L...

Sportsmanship? When it comes down to the final race, of a single-person championship, you excuse the gentleman's rules and allow an athlete to compete to fullest extent of the rules. This goes for any sport, and if you disagree, you've never been in a championship situation before. No rules were bro...

I want Wehrlein, and that's who I expect. Kov2 get!

Kinda silly ridiculing a team boss poll, then posting your own biased drivel. No, I don't think any poster here is better informed. None of us have millions or billions riding on our understanding of what makes a driver good. Our opinions are based on personal biases that don't need to be tempered i...

Qualifying and arranging grids by speed is a staple in most forms of racing. It only makes sense. Why should a driver be penalized for success merely for the entertainment of fans? Hell, in a reverse grid scenario, being a middling team could be an advantage, as you'd reap points more consistently. ...

It probably depends on the parity of the teammates. The Ferrari was capable of mounting a challenge if the teammates were evenly matched. But it was clearly the best car by some margin. PEACE.

I can only rate the 3 I got to see.

1. Hamilton
2. Senna
3. Piquet

Shamelessly biased, but Lewis is the only career I've gotten to see in full. I caught Nelson and Ayrton in bits and pieces towards the end. I wasn't a weekly watcher yet. PEACE.

Am I really seeing people using comments made on team radio? If it's not abundantly clear already, drivers say all sorts of things in the heat of the moment. I would hate to be held accountable for some of the things I say just on my daily commute. PEACE.

Really? Nico has been complimentary to the point that people question his desire. I dummy know why people like psycho-analyzing drivers. They're more committed and confident than us. They all have big egos. Don't read so much into what you see written about them. Just enjoy their on-track work. PEACE.

Pimpwerx

Lewis was in the same position Nico was in at Suzuka, but he wisely backed off. We saw other drivers do the same, and others push too hard and get pushed wide. This is a standard racing maneuver for decades. The only reason it resulted in a thread is because it's Lewis. You can say otherwise, but we...

Pimpwerx

Really, mas? Stewards gave him the penalty. Concede the point and keep some shred of dignity. Kimi was wrong, full stop. You're not winning this one, no matter how much you try. That was a terrible attempt by Kimi. Maldonado has been crucified for less. PEACE.

Suzuka was luck. Lewis seemed quicker over the weekend and the race. But today Nico was untouchable. I'm not sure Lewis got his setup right at all. Not sure what their program was on the day, given the limited time and shortened session. PEACE.

Pimpwerx

Nico doesn't seem to think the move was unfair. He blames himself for carrying too much speed through T1. Funny that. PEACE.

Pimpwerx

Lewis doesn't get enough credit for his pace. Vettel is stated to be as fast as him, but why don't we question his performance against Ricciardo? DannyRicky out drove him last season. It was the first tine we've seen him against someone not named Webber, who was unable to do much in that dominant RB...

Accidents don't happen often in these situations because drivers understand the concept of conceding the corner. Nico did not have enough to complete the challenge. It's very simple. In the video, the successful outside overtakes saw the outside car even or ahead of the inside car. Once the inside c...

Pimpwerx

Mds, how far alongside do you mean, when you say "making sure he has his wheels next to the other driver on corner exit". And where, for that matter is the corner exit? Just being fully alongside throughout the entire corner. A driver will not be forced off if he remains fully alongside. I do feel ...

Pimpwerx

The McLaren was plenty slow with a Mercedes engine last season. The finger pointing is a bit silly. The package is slow, period. That's about all that can be stated factually. PEACE.

Pimpwerx

It doesn't seem to be affecting him. His time since Bahrain has been pretty cool IMO. I don't follow celeb nonsense, but my timeline has been full of him and his Cobra in Malibu, ringside at the MayPac fight, and chilling with my favorite basketball player at the MetGala. Seems like he's living the ...

Pimpwerx

Yeah, Monza or Monaco, the Merc will be the quickest car on all circuits in all conditions once again. PEACE.

Pimpwerx

Does anyone know if she's even fast? I noted on another forum that when Michael broke his leg, Salo filled his seat, not Badoer. When we finally got to see Badoer in race action, it was obvious why they went with Salo. Maybe Wolff simply isn't good racing. I mean, he she been an outstanding driver ...

Why does it seem that all these popular conspiracies are always derived from poorly sourced bunkem that always suggests that one team signed to a wholely idiotic sounding agreement? It's always someone's poor interpretation of some comment that is later shown to be completely innocuous. What I'm get...

Average. Melbourne has produced more processional races than exciting ones. This was far from the worst. PEACE.

I'll make my guess after fp3. It looks like Nico has the measure this weekend, but its hard to tell if there's any setup progress made overnight. I hope for Lewis. I also would peg Seb for provisional third, but I don't know if the Williams or Bulls have anything to say. I expect Sauber to just get ...

I live a few blocks from the location of the circuit. I'll probably be in attendance. The elevation change is nowhere near as pronounced as in that video. It's very slight, if at all. I'm curious to see how bumpy it's going to be. The straights are along a pretty busy section of Biscayne Blvd. There...

First for me was Button, I believe. I feel bad because I call him an old goat all the time. LOL. I had to look, but I'm older than everyone on the grid now that Webber and Rubens are retired. Neato. PEACE.

The Merc chassis was fastest everywhere. The slow tracks, the fast tracks, in the dry and in the wet. I don't think there is any engine magic there. They have best knowledge of the engine, and can design the best gearbox and exhaust, but I doubt they're tapping into some hidden reserve of power. The...

I think That Mercedes engine inside Mercedes GP chassis is a more powerful plant than other Mercedes engines of customers I also think so... If you are not convinced, watch replays of hamilton passing easily all cars on the straight (mercedes customer cars included) Makes no sense. Cornering speed ...

Adam Cooper suggested the Mercedes may be 'over engineered'. A bit like McLaren in late 2012 they've got very little room left for development on the current cycle. He could easily be wrong though and we'll know by mid season. Odd thing to say given no one is really running their official front or ...

Pimpwerx

I mostly agree. Some such as mikey think that being the works manufacturer will be an advantage that counts for more than being a customer, even with the best engine. I'm sure it will help but McLaren have a big mountain to climb. McLaren have made some technical staff changes, too. I wouldn't be s...

I agree that Honda based upon the rules needs to homologate by 2/15. The fact that they had at least 12 months to further develop the PU during 2014 while others couldn't should level the field somewhat. MB Renualt and Ferrari had about a 50 HP difference from most accounts. The 50HP can come from ...

People love to read the tea leaves every silly season. There's no reason to posture in the press. If Lewis can't come to terms with Merc, they will have to pursue another option. Alonso is probably the next best thing. It's common sense, and I doubt Lewis wasn't acutely aware of this already. Howeve...

Pimpwerx

The problem was that two drivers with Lewis and Fernando's talents cannot coexist. Is there any point in F1 history where two top drivers got along in the same team? There's always discontent, because these guys are fierce competitors. I don't know if you can blame anyone. Can you blame Ron Dennis? ...
