Hi guys, sorry if this has been covered multiple times before.. Me and some friends are hoping to attend Spa this year. Can anyone suggest the best websites to purchase general admission tickets from? Cheers guys I used bookf1 for the Spanish GP last year and using it again for the German GP this y...

I was so surprised and pleased when they posted the original tweet - I don't think you'd get any other F1 team doing that and I thought it was a great gesture on Lotus's part. When I saw the retraction and apology I just shook my head in disappointment. I understand why they retracted it, but it jus...

I do like the entertainment factor, and we all know it's staged but it's still fun and makes me laugh. I liked the police car chase!

Have to say, livery-wise, I don't know if anything is going to top Force India for me. It looks really, really good.

FlyingScot

I preferred his 2013 one. The black, red and white looked good. The yellow added in for 2014 doesn't really do it for me. It looks a bit too...busy. With all the sponsors. But it's not bad.

FlyingScot

I know it's only rumour but I'd have mixed feelings about MW going to Lotus, potentially a good move for Lotus but not so great for MW giving up an alternative role at McLaren to take what will likely be an unpaid job at a shaky team. http://translate.google.nl/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl...

This is fascinating! :nod: It is! Everyone likes a good old fashioned feud! And then this... Now, the respected Auto Motor und Sport correspondent Michael Schmidt claims that a leading contender to succeed Boullier at Lotus is none other than Whitmarsh himself. I thought Lotus confirmed Lopez was t...

FlyingScot

a radical nose design doesn't mean they will win the title. Just as Williams about that. They will be on the back foot too after missing the first four days of testing in such a critical year for rule changes. I don't think Lotus will be near title winning form tbh. Nah, neither do I, sadly. Best t...

FlyingScot

I would love it if somehow, despite Boullier jumping ship and all these financial rumours, that Lotus managed a genius design and produced a car capable of winning the title.

And the former 'first-lap-nutcase' Grosjean to be the one to do it.

I can dream...

Series 3 of Sherlock was... not as good. I seemed to see it all coming, and considering the fact I couldn't was the main reason the show attracted me. I'm also slightly annoyed at the idea of Moriarty not being dead. I am going to sit here and hope that he's still dead and it's just his network run...

I don't necessarily agree that they are there on merit of their talents alone. Steven Fletcher cost Sunderland £12m from a Championship side. Javier Hernandez cost Man Utd £6m. Is Steven Fletcher really twice as good as Hernandez? That to me suggests quite a bit of homegrown inflation on the deal. ...

All of them second rate players punching above their weight IMO. There's more to the Premiership than the top 6/8 teams though. Okay, they are playing for the likes of Norwich, Hull, Sunderland etc, the lower Premiership teams, but they don't look out of place in those teams. So I'd argue that mid-...

We've got one fit striker, Park Chu Young. Giroud, Bendtner, Walcott, Sanogo all injured. Chuba Akpom and Benik Afobe have never played in the Premier League, and Joel Campbell is out on loan. We can buy Carlos Vela back for £4m, so we might see him come back. You guys should buy Steven Fletcher. :...

Anyone see Sherlock? That show almost killed me. The sequences after John finds out are probably the funniest of the entire series history. Yes, I thought it was brilliantly done.

Adam Cooper seemed quite sure of it on his blog this afternoon

Thanks FlyingScot. I mean why Kimi take points off Alonso's opponents, not Kimi's own opponents. Isn't that a hint of Kimi supporting Alonso's fight for WDC? Hmm... At least, that seems to be the article's claim: "Räikkönen ist die Nummer zwei. Der Finne soll Alonsos Gegnern Punkte wegnehmen!" :nod...

Grosjean is a bit of a Massa to me. Generally a good qualifier but his racecraft is next to non-existent at times (while with Massa - all the time). And that surge in form in late 2013 is a bit misleading, the Lotus was no doubt the 2nd best car on the grid. I do agree that the Lotus was probably t...

It's hard to really tell when it's a written interview, but I doubt the quote from Romain was said with any ill-feeling or anything - you can't be sure from the context but to me it's probably just some dry humour and a bit of an exaggeration, as I'm sure it wasn't the only thing he said to him in t...

It's funny, I was watching Andy Murray win Sports Personality of the Year tonight and he said "sorry I don't sound excited, it's just the way my voice is! I can't help it. But I really am excited."

Why are you supposed to be real when being under pressure? Why can't you be yourself when you're relaxed?

Thanks.

The account is also followed by Grosjean, Lotus, Mercedes, Andrew Benson and Jonathan Noble so I'm guessing it's legit.

FlyingScot

What about the rumour (started by Sport Bild, I believe) about Eric Boullier leaving Lotus and possibly joining Force India? That would indicate things are even worse than believed at Lotus. But as Grosjean's manager, why would he allow his driver to sign for Lotus again if he knew he was going to F...
