On a side note it seemed a bit badly run this time. Drivers in the wrong cars, cars in the wrong 'lane', sometimes no way of distinguishing between the two cars except for a small flag (useless when both competitors are from the same country). And the commentators didn't seem to know what was going...

Honda built possibly the best engine ever, the gx

I think they'll get it perfect just a shame it'll probably be too late for jb and fonso to benefit from.

manny carvalho

he knows exactly what he's doing. nicole sherwotsit is up there with the best of them at selling herself as a brand and he must have learnt a thing or two while they were together! lets be right she's a karaoke singer by trade yet you can't get away from her! for me its an odd one cos i like lewis a...

why isnt mehri on the list??

things like that are interesting to see

but generally i do find the off track camera shots a waste of race time.

the long camera stare at carmen jorda every race is a plus though

ford sierra 4x4 for me , ive devoted my life and home to caring for fords oap's

i wouldnt buy a car based on anything to do with f1 but if cig ad livery was allowed again then jps could tempt me to buy a pack.

What the article fails to mention is that it has been based on a tweet. As you all may or may not know, tweets can only be 140 characters in length and it is very, very hard to put decent nuance in it. What Grosjean may simply have been willing to say, but could not accurately express due to size l...

but then what if jenson beats alonso in 2015?

manny carvalho

eric b has gone down in my estimation since joining mclaren too. at lotus he came across well but having rons arm up his puppet hole seems to have made him a bit t watish. i really want jb to go up against alonso but it would be nice to see him jump ship to wec and mclarens efforts fail next year an...

manny carvalho

I am getting bored of hearing how disgusting Mclaren are behaving.If the drivers don't like it then walk away.Mclaren don't owe them anything even though others seem to think they do. a different thread might be a good choice then? this one is kind of dedicated to it lol ;) mclaren do owe them some...

manny carvalho

i think ron is underestimating the damage this is doing to mclaren , however many fans alonso is bringing to the team this whole jb/kmag mess is losing them 10 times as many

manny carvalho

maybe it was the flexible rule book they were/are using ?

manny carvalho

this year the brakes on his car were struggling to work around him lol

manny carvalho

no but we all know what m.s did when he/the car wasnt winning lol why should jb be blamed for not getting the car right? a driver gives their feedback and the engineers make it happen (or are supposed to) . mclaren have been far from good for a long time at pit stops , strategy , car design .... i t...

manny carvalho

it would be good to see grosjean in a competitive car again , i reckon hes got a great future given the chance.

some good arguments here on the bottas thing but im still going with frank williams rating of him as a future wdc

and hopefully it will be with williams!

manny carvalho

personal troubles seem to be used a lot as an excuse for hamiltons poor runs which is fair enough i guess. looks to me that jb really is on top of his game right now if he can show up his team mate by such a margin what with the personal issues hes had this year!

manny carvalho

im sure on sunday ted said he was going to be the 3rd wheel at williams next year

manny carvalho

the best two in , magnussen as reserve and stoffel needs another crack at gp2

manny carvalho

Its not all bad luck, massa puts himself in those situations by going for it which I think is what we want to see from the drivers. Otherwise they are accused of being too passive with no fight in them. I do think bottas is better but remember this is a new team for massa and he's been used to getti...

manny carvalho

The only thing from the Sky coverage I didn't like this weekend was the 10 minute monologue review of the season by some actor with a chap tinkling on the piano like some lounge lizard.

Agree ! But George the poets bit is always good

manny carvalho

You should have said
yea, No ..... For sure .... Me and all my fingers back at the keyboard have learned a lot today and are really pushing for the next post or ... None of our posts are signed yet and they don't know what thread they will be in. Adopt one for your Sig

manny carvalho

Does anyone else find the f1 driver mimicking "for sure" as the start of a post as funny as I do? Anyway , I think bottas is definately all he is said to be which is a future world champion. Similar to hulkenberg,ricciardo and I believe grosjean given half a chance. Talent makes them capable of it a...

manny carvalho

you asked why he had no offers available. he might have one at mclaren , the reason he hasnt at any other team is because they are already fully booked ;) silly season ended a bit back but maybe no one told you or mclaren that and its a bit late in the day for button to start tarting himself about t...

manny carvalho

if ryu knows as much as he thinks he knows about the situation then why isnt his last post being taken seriously?

i would explain but i think the reason is obvious.

manny carvalho

It's comical that f1 is called the pinnacle of motorsport yet drivers that are experienced and proven to be top drawer are cast aside to accommodate a grid where most have nothing to show. Everyone wants that next instant star that will take them into dominance then give them a sub standard car and ...

manny carvalho

Im not a trained lip reader but after rewinding and rewatching a few times im sure whatever he said in whatever language , it wasn't something his nan would be proud of

manny carvalho

Has any more been said about nicos potty mouth rant as he left the podium at interlagos? Who was he calling a f'ing b*****d ? I guessed it was Massa for stealing his thunder.

manny carvalho

dan , not to mention the theory button can only win in the best car with the stars all aligned. now horner is saying vettel is very car sensitive etc etc .... hmmmm its clear that every driver on the grid has immense talent but as massa said in a recent interview (well my interpretation anyway) its ...

manny carvalho

no idea on the number of stops made or the details , as i said iirc something was said about it (notebook maybe?) mclaren have clearly been disappointed with him all along. seems to be a trend for grabbing the next possible big thing rather than giving young drivers time to work their way up and rea...

manny carvalho

surely with grosjean really getting into the swing of things now it would be the final nail in perez' f1 coffin if he went to lotus??

manny carvalho

i think its harsh but the big mistake was taking him in the first place, iirc something was mentioned on skyf1 about perez being 30 odd seconds off buttons total race pace in abu dhabi! i don't dislike perez (or any driver for that matter) but as others have pointed out he's no better than kobayashi...

manny carvalho

In fact, beyamei, not only I do NOT censure Alonso, Vettel or Hamilton, I ENCOURAGE drivers to say politically incorrect things on the radio and to vent their feelings, it makes them look like human beings and not PR robots from outside the real world. by having a word before each race??? how do yo...

manny carvalho

kimi openly barks at his engineer in a disrespectful manner , vettel disobeys orders , hamilton tweets info , alonso lately seems to aggravate rather than motivate .... how many times is it said that racers are selfish egomaniacs?? di resta is slated for being arrogant and yet at the other end of th...

manny carvalho

its not just about an engine though is it? honda arent hanging about with their hybrid technology ! http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/hybrids/#beyondhybrid the v6 nsx concept looks impessive too :twisted: you hear a lot about mclaren needing change (replacing whitmarsh , button etc) but i think this engin...

manny carvalho

i salute you on that purchase!

how much was it?

manny carvalho

i have no idea

if they didn't then its a wasted opportunity! much better than vettels kravitz appreciation society shirt

manny carvalho

that reminds me ! 4:20 passed me by, im slacking today ...i better get the kettle on and re-read this

manny carvalho

i didn't know the figures , maybe let slip is harsh :) obviously bbc one isn't a dedicated channel and i enjoyed recent years but i just think they could've made more of it. maybe fp sessions shown on another bbc channel and an "f1 show" just to give us a bit more that they have no time for on raced...

manny carvalho

i pay 40 a month for my mobile , 40 for the gym , a family day out can be close to £100! ok i already had a sky package before so i just pay the extra £10 for sky f1 but really for the amount of coverage you get is it really that bad? watching f1 is a hobby to me and is many times cheaper than all o...

manny carvalho

its been said plenty of times in interviews that the conditions experienced so far are not representative of what they will have in australia and beyond so who's to say pirelli have messed anything up?
