If the best drivers in the world cannot go slower under waves yellow flags and avoid a car that is off the racing line on a completely dry track then perhaps they shouldn't be racing. And as for Lewis's concern for marshals safety people should go to the FIA lap times page and see what driver was po...

Sorry to say it does clearly state that the pass has to be displayed by sticking the pass to the windscreen and if not could be subject to a parking fine. Yes the ticket is a bitch to get off the screen later but that's better than a parking fine

The high prices are a result of Silverstone trying to minimise their losses after paying ridiculous fees to Bernie and co. Do not be mad with the circuit, be mad with Bernie. As for high food and drinks prices, well, thats just because youre in a captive audience environment. Every concert/event/fe...

The thing that really kills me with the fans crying about the data sharing is that their argument is based on only Nico being able to gain improvement on his lap time compared to Lewis, why should this be? If Nico is not capable of going as fast as Lewis unless he has his data then surely he could ...

Damon Hill performs the outro guitar solo on the Def Leppard track Demolition Man (actually a very good shredding solo!) His boy Josh is now a drummer in a band and that stuff sounds cool. But just go with what you love, I'll be driving into woodlands with Moby Bodyrock pumping out of the speakers!

And here's my ideal scenario: Limit teams to 4 aero/body work updates throughout the year. Open up engine development. Wider tires. Smaller breaks. A continental race on rotation -i.e.European GP to be held in mugelo, then the next year mangy Cours, the next year Brands Hatch etc to make it a truly...

The team have announced who will test after Silverstone GP so I guess they're feeling confident of finishing the season at least

Tony Fernandez has tweeted they'll be racing in Austria without a doubt

Ron didn't really want him so made a win bonus pay offer and given that the 1996 McLaren was terrible it was never a realistic offer to take.

Jordan.. Who knew they'd discover downforce for 1997!

Could He being a 'British' driver be an important reason, other than being a 2009 champion, for lasting in F1 till now? I think British drivers have it harder than most actually. I agree they have it harder, apart from Lewis I know of no other British driver that's been bankrolled/backed into a lea...

Wasn't his quotes an answer to a direct question? Leading him to say that obviously Kev's inexpirence would have an effect on the development due to feedback

ForTheLoveOfRacing

I just cant help but think that the development feedback they get from Button just makes them go in circles. I know i am going to get flack for writing this. No team has ever moved foward with Button in fact some good teams have moved backwards and just get caught in a rut. Brawn hit the jackpot wi...

Simply put McLaren is a customer of Mercedes, Mercedes supply engines as part of the agreement and McLaren run them. They are not duty bound to put the engine supplied by Mercedes into the car once this years competition is over. McLaren can put whatever engine they have in the car as soon as the la...

Mark was so poor which covered the weakness of Sebastian. He has won his 4 championships but if nico was his team i think he would not have won any because alonso would have won atleast 2 of those. Hamilton would have won all those titles in that redbull of yesterday. Nico who? Which Nico? Yes poss...

First, let me start by saying I give my hats off to McLaren as a constructor. Second, let me also state for the record that I rate Jenson driving ability as 'good'. Former world champ, and it takes a bit to drive a F1 car, so hats off there. With all that said, does anyone else notice that througho...

Alonso - 2007 Blackmail. That was probably one of the worst things on the "human level" to come out of all that. I've never supported Alonso, originally because he won the WDC almost by default in 2005 (although hindsight has shown him to be the more talented driver and full deserving) with Kimi br...

I am not going to weigh in on the "Is Jenson Button the right man for the job" debate as i will be biased as i have a major man crush on the guy. However i will agree that McLaren need to do a better Job. The size of the outfit, and the money they have at their disposal you would expect better resu...

Unfortunately if Jenson does not take some responsibility for his performance and thereby do something to improve it .... Then we will not see him in F1 next year , he is too complacent and to eager to jump out of the car and blame all and sundry for poor performances . Ron Dennis is no Whitmarsh a...

Crofty's a good commentator but observation is not one of his strengths, nor is analysis, he loves to make kneejerk conclusions during free practices. Like Ferrari has caught up with Merc during FP1 or 2? Part of his job will be to keep people interested and increase viewership, how will he do that...

So the McLaren team make a car that doesn't get the tires to the optimum temperature and that's Jenson Button's fault?

Where do these fans of the sport come from?

I enjoyed it until the safety car. I really wanted a Williams on the podium. And as much as I am pleased by a Force India on the podium I wanted it to be Hulk. Hulk screwed his race mostly by bad qualifying but still finishing so close to your teammate who started 8 places ahead is impressive and t...

But you're allowed to hold the driving line. If that wasn't the driving line you may have a slight point. No you're not if a competitor is alongside!!!!!! How are you not getting this?? If someone is alongside you must leave them a cars width between your car and the track limits no matter where th...

Inappropriate post removed. Hamilton as the driver ahead is entitled to hold the racing line. If Rosberg had made the move stick and got ahead you might have had a point but he didn't. So you just ignore the rule regarding leaving enough room for a competitor? I thought that rule related to corner ...

Not only this, we saw some ham-fisted brute driving from LH today. I counted at least 6 instances of 'back off or we will both crash' today and it was only in the scenes we could see.

I think you ought to look up the definition of statistically impossible, because it does not mean 'highly unlikely'

Lewis doesn't have to yield he didn't take him out just held the driving line. Never anything in it. Nico could have yeilded earlier but chose not to and kept his foot in. His choice.

The moment Nico realised the race win was not going to be a possibility he took it easy not to stress his engine, that's the way I saw it.

Smart driving, he can finish 2nd to his team mate 3 times and still be ahead in the WDC so he's no need to push yet

as a Ferrari fan it's going to be another frustrating campaign. I wonder how long Alonso will be able to still keep this all up.
