Re: Renault's F1 division up for sale?
I think Red Bull's criticism is justified; if, for instance, you bought a product that was of good quality for four years and it suddenly decreased in quality for a year the company wouldn't be justified in arguing they should be given leeway because of the previous four years. It's a very similar s...

Slightly later. Worth half a tenth - at most. Plus, he was only 0.04 off and lost time in the last sector; commentators suggested that was a mistake (went in too quickly) into the swimming pool section.smoothcrim wrote:4/10 Vettel and he was on the track later.

Why does Ant Davidson constantly contradict himself? He said that Raikkonen's lap was frantic - and that was how a lap of Monaco should be driven. But, earlier when Vettel completed a frantic lap of his own (quicker than Ricciardo's 'smooth' lap) he said that wasn't the right style to use.

I cant wait for a race where Hamilton is behind Nico by less than a second with better tyres and 8-10 laps to go. I think it will put all of this to bed. We may just see this in Monaco. But that wouldn't put anything to bed because you can not pass at Monaco Somebody better tell Adrian Sutil then.

Easily Alonso. Incredible performance. That Ferrari has no business being on a podium. And the gap to Kimi will be an eye opener for many. Kimi was complaining of power issues at the start of the race. No doubt a great performance from Alonso but perhaps the gap to Kimi is smaller than shown here.
