Re: Will Honda Deliver?
Will Honda deliver? Yes. At some point if they persist I think the engine will 'turn good'. Honda previously had great and reliable power units, just the rest of the car which was tragic, until the year they left the sport that is!!! The real question which should be asked is - Will Mclaren deliver?...

Re: Why does Hamilton get so much flack for being a tax exil
There is a problem with the UK tax system. It is unfair to people with high earnings and short careers, such as F1 drivers. If you pay at that rate, then when your career is over you have nothing to live on. They should come up with a system like in the US where athletes are allowed to distribute t...

Jenson is a man of his words. Hakkinen and Coulthard got on really well with "non-written agreements" between drivers. Since Alonso can rely on Button's pre-race agreements, there won't be any friction apart from some funny banter. Alonso won't get angry if Jens unfollows him on Twitter too . That ...
