Watching Alonso after the race, he seemed most content. His words, best of the rest. I think he can see improvement and is starting to "buy into it". Button on the other hand looks on the point of walking. Both these drivers are the best in F1 when you get to the top you wait for the best drive or ...

Actually there is vastly more revenue to be made through a free model. Whatever else Bernie may be, he's a businessman. I find it hard to believe that if there was money to be made by going Free to Air Bernie wouldn't have embraced it. Bernie is a business man for BERNIE, the F1 teams get whatever ...

F1 needs much more business change. At least to get sponsors back into the sport to create smaller independent teams and provide some opportunities for growth in driver numbers. The sport should consider Should be run by non associated business men with MBA's and PHD's .....not cowboy boots and voti...

Yes its a mistake that Rosberg should resign with Mercades. However the traditional view is that a German drives in a German team whatever the cost ! Its interesting how emotion drives poor business decisions...

so the rumours are jenson is out , and how let down would or should he feel been driving a car with canine qualities to say the least -my guess is pretty hacked off About time. I would have launched Jensen years ago. I agree JB has done very well with a very lack luster car at times far better than...

DrJones

I don't think it really matters what Alonso or Red Bull say about their chassis. If you are dominating the slow corners relative to the other cars then you have a good chassis. If you are dominating the straights you have a good PU. With how bad the power/balance ratio is right now, an engine is mo...

Two ways to read this. Either Hasegawa has no faith in Button that he will challenge for wins with a more competitive car, OR he doesn't believe Button will be around next year anyway. Might be one to add to the silly season![/quote] Well there are a lot of rumours going about that Vandoorne will be...

This was forecast five years ago by The BSC Consulting Group. Many would understand that F1 today was built upon state subsidy through BBC state broad casting the sport on the worlds televisions. Upon the back of this publicity the sport and smaller teams benefited from a large worldwide audience wh...

I am a little surprised at blue colour as Aston martin has always been racing Green or silver. Its good to get rid of the poor brand image of Force India after the Aston was a star in James bond.Guess the saudi shareholders don't like that name either.

Paul Hemberys current Motorsport Director of Pirelli latest punt is to drag up an old idea from 2006 to put forward a Global competitive structure in F1.

interesting lots of cosworth people in mexico ???

DrJones

Mcclaren are playing the system..but its a system which reflects the dieing days of the sport under totd and eccelstone who should have gone years ago. GP in Argentina ??? You are nuts !!!!!

DrJones

You can be sure lauden has resigned on account of principle......he is a fighter and sad loss to unless haas wants him ? Do you think manor will fold with the Beanchi court case looming?The team is set to be changing name again next year anyway. Rossi is a great ambassador for the team but quiet ste...

DrJones

Ron would always block it as he driven by the pain Mcclaren has endured this year. The US GP showed that Renault was not performing too badly ??

DrJones

JB is something to do with the F1 drivers association and safety ? Clearly he is taking up the concerns normally reflected by Jacky Stewart who has been less than vocal lately ?

DrJones

I am quite sure if John Todt had been compulsory retired and a team of experienced MBA's from other industries with no financial interest had been put in place five years ago they would have put rules in place to standardised and separate each component of the power unit thus allowing mix and match ...

DrJones

Wonder what this race will look like in a totally wet drowned out three days ? Poor Bernie does not get the luck in the US ?

DrJones

To some extent 2016 will be a development year for this project too.It is Right that Mcclaren will need to see the benefit and advantage of this investment before letting other teams on the project. However two further points In 2017 the engine will be perfected at which Redbull would be interested ...

DrJones

There is a simple solution to fix Jon Todts mistakes.Those engine manufactures who have less than the average output or power of other manufacturers will be given more tokens for development until they reach the average of all other teams....at which point they get the same tokens as all the other t...

DrJones

Both JB and Alonso have proved themselves in adversity they should be orsome in triumph next year

DrJones

I think BSC Consulting Group is right. they need to open an engine program of their own developing the WEC Audi engine with cosworth as VW is in real trouble.

DrJones

Not sure why Mag has not left for new horizons afar as he new there was no chance after Alonso took his place.....Perhaps all teams should have a reserve driver race every season at silverstone before they can qualify as world constructors champions.

DrJones

The soon to retire bernie thinks Cosworth could provide a cheap V8 at anytime.But Honda is getting problems with ers ? Renault is getting problems with the engine...why cant customers mix and match with standardization of components ? we know that Honda is further ahead of development than the token...

At Sohcci Alonso ran the new spec Honda engine which rumour had it developed an extra 50 BHP over the old engine and 10 MPH on the straights. JB used the old spec engine to get a 9 th place finish and Alonso 10 th place. We will see in the next race what will happen in the US and Mexico.It is quite ...

DrJones

Forget Renault and Redbull. If a deal is done it would be an unhappy partnership doomed to fail again but would buy time for the cosworth partnership to grow. Ron Dennis is right both engines and tyres are sources of political anti competitive maneuvering in F1. Redbull wants to cover off the compet...

DrJones

They have been here before.They will only settle for this to buy time until heir own development program starts gaining direction.

DrJones

Which ever way you look at it Red Bull is in the position where Mcclaren found themselves in 2013. To win again they need to have a factory engine. With VW in trouble Globally support from VW is unlikely.However christen is starting to realize that to be competitive Red Bull needs its own engine dev...

If FI sell last years chassis to Murissa all will be solved ?

DrJones

The real question this season will be...will Fernado be any faster than Jensen in the same car ? They will have different race styles !

DrJones

Interesting strategy for Mcclaren. PR says Fernado must launch the car in Spain for the home crowd it peters out.Fanado likes the new design but has his doubts after testing but remains hopeful for Barcelona.Jensen remains hopeful like last year the reliably issues will be ironed out at Melbourne. T...

DrJones

I am not sure why Murissa cant buy or rent Force India s 2014 chassis and make the mods for an engine supplier this will get them up and running for race three ? Force India wants the money so wonder why the deal cant be done ? If we believe the press the new 2015 car is running into very high devel...

DrJones

Alonso and Button is obvious for the next two seasons.After that 2017 Button and Alonso should retire and a suitable new drivers selected.MG should drive for williams or FI next year. As an investor I would not want to risk my considerable investment on a rookie in a top team.Sponsors want a hero in...

I don't believe there is one overall winner. Each have different for different tracks.It is probably worth considering the conventional wisdom.Who are the top six drivers in F1?

Alonso
Lewis
Button

its all about opportunity in this employment market.A person with experience who is anygood is hard to find.Otherwise its a risk on a rooke a grime thought when millions of pounds are at stake.

sort of a decision Red Bull might consider but never Mcclaren ?

All the engineering directors,journalists and fans do exactly the same thing.Adrian Newy always used to walk the garages and make sketches in his notebook on other teams developments.Each car has a different development path not all ideas can be used on all cars....However if all cars become similar...

I was more impressed by that driver they ran in Austria..he seemed to have all the skills the team wanted.
