I don't think any 'luxury' names will come in, seems too big a risk as their reputation could take a hit - particularly as a young team. Only real hope is for a Red Bull like venture where someone with deep pockets and a 'wacky' company steps in and does something good. At the moment its hard to see...

Vettel probably don't even care all these and laughing away.

"Still a four time World Champion"

I'm not sure Vettel not caring is any reason to not debate it.

Vettel was clearly the better driver in the blown exhaust era. That's about all we know.

I've recently watched the F1 2013 season review done by the BBC. In one of the clips, they showed an interview where Lewis Hamilton talked about where Merc and McLaren differ in which he said that McLaren took his championship winning race engineers and gave them to Jenson Button while McLaren gave...

Very good news, he has earned his place, kept his head down and brought home the car, sometimes in a very decent way. Nice to see him this year as well. I'm not buying this at all. He hasn't earned his place, his dad's connections got him a place. He brought the car home, generally in last whilst c...

I like the (not new) idea, but really for it to have any significance, we need to be able to clearly see the number decal on the car, IMHO. The introduction of permanent driver numbers also comes with the obligation (written in the rules) that said numbers must be "clearly visible" on both the nose...

I have to admit even though i try not to be nationalistic when watching F1, that as a finn, I notice myself really looking forward to seeing how Bottas does against Massa next year. With the '10 and '11 seasons notwithstanding, there has been a finn at a top end team every season since the mid-90's...

BUT will use 22 Has this been confirmed or is it just speculation? I haven't found any official source stating JB has gone for No 22. He's tweeted it. Why's Hamilton going with 44? Doesn't seem to be a known reason but it definitely holds some prominence to him. The Monaco helmet had the ball on 44...

2007/8 The peak of Winglets Cars looked like spaceships, most especially Maclaren Yeah, it wasn't good for the racing but the cars looked nice and actually different to one another! I've been watching some of the old races on Sky F1 and had forgotten how peculiar those cars looked, they really did ...

- seeing if McLaren have found their form again and built a good car. (not just magnesen) - seeing if the 2 teams at the back can close up to the midfield. - none of the given choices! Really? You're looking forward to nothing on the list, but you are lookin forward to seeing Caterham vs. Marussia?...

Ennis

Magnussen is the obvious dark horse.

Of the guys who have been there I'd say Rosberg is the 'experienced' dark horse.

Ennis

Numbers can say whatever you want them to say. There are simpler ways to estimate Vettel's car advantage. We will use Webber as a constant in our calculations. Webber is barely faster than a David coulthard when driving the same cars. You definitely don't know what you are talking about... I believ...

Despite how strong one disagrees with "unliked" stats here and there, they are the chapters of unchangeable History which made the billions of people non-champions discussing the Real Champions using and sharing various Driver Accomplishments.

I think they should use numbers from 1 to 22 (including 13). I see no reason to go beyond numbers that are above the amount of competitors. In soccer they do not skip number 13 at world cup events for example. In football (soccer) they can choose any 2 numbered number they want for almost all event...

Ennis

How do you come to that conclusion? If the compounds / construction remain broadly similar, with the same design aim, then won't their impact in the future be at least equal to what we have seen recently? I agree that there will be a lot of changes in 2014, particularly in relation to aero and engi...

Think you've almost got too much discussion for one thread I'll start with the points system and I agree on scoring for all teams, although one thing I was thinking of was a separate tiered system for teams who don't score. Basically all scoring teams are ranked as they are, but anyone who scores 0 ...

Maybe its just me but surely racing should be more about car and driver vs other car and driver. Theres seems to me to be too much emphasis on the role the tyres play in all this. Maybe someone can explain to me why teams HAVE to use both types of dry tyres in a race. Surely if everyone uses the sa...

It could mean any number of things, especially considering the original quote was comparing with Massa. One thing to remember is that LdM has made no secret of the fact that he had to be persuaded by Domenicali to take Kimi back. There's probably a little pride at stake here, too. The above suggest...

AH HA there you have it.... a completely unbiased, honest, scientific and unarguable analysis of the situation x( . I'm being sarcastic just so that you are clear about that. In my opinion Webber is a lot better than people make him out to be and put him in the same car as Alonso or Hamilton and he...

Ferrari, Mercedes and new cars. Curious to see how Hamilton and Rosberg fare without team orders. :-P Curious to see whether Ferrari still consider Alonso as their team leader , and whether they have finally worked out what kind of car Räikkönen needs. :evil: And whether they can hold on to Alonso ...

Went with- Power train reliability. First time since my obsession with F1 began that there is such uncertainty at the beginning of the season. Potential for midfield teams. Bar the odd dip or gain from a certain team (like Lotus & McLaren in 2013) there hasn't been any surprises, real potential for ...

The only way that Hamilton is Similar to Jacques is when Hamilton opens his big mouth. I followed Jacques and found he was particularly good in the Atlantic series and Cart series. His first season along with Damon Hill was also a stunner. He did well in fighting and winning the '97 WDC. Jacques to...

Alaaddin - stats are only part of the story. To use a teammate comparison you need to co spider relative strength of the teammate, circumstances of the season (how the regs suited driving style), luck, mechanical failures and many other things. That's why opinions can hold firm (even if I disagree w...

Ennis

Not related to the accident but they have to be more immune to risk than a normal person, it comes with the gig.

That's not to say they don't want to manage that risk or would prefer it wasn't there - but they will be less fearful of a lot of things.

Ennis

Well Rosberg was extremely close to Hamilton, he scored 90% of Hamilton's points. Whereas Massa only scored 46% of Alonso's points. If Ferrari had a driver as close to Alonso as Rosberg is to Hamilton (a driver which could get 90% of Alonso's points) Ferrari would have 460 points. and a very solid ...

Ennis

How do you rank them though?

I think the Red Bull advantage is due to the blend of man and machine where style matches machinery so ranking on pure mechanics may not give the best picture.

Ennis

I don't think a poll is really required here, it's one of the few topics that the board has been largely united on. Did like the suggestion of double race with a reverse grid for the last race (something like Qualifying Friday, Race 1 Saturday, Race 2 with reverse grid Sunday) but that's a different...

Ennis

Well you can tell your family you have seen something new today as I don't support anyone and I think Sutil is good. I just don't get it. I'm also not a fan of anyone but just don't see it. The worst thing is, until this thread, he was someone I didn't even consider in any way, shape or form. He ju...

Ennis

By comparing Raikonnen with Sutil, are you trying to imply that both are likewise talented? In the way that you said get rid of him, maybe some one if not you, could hire some one to slash his throat as well so that he retires? :lol: By comparing Kimi & Sutil, he is highlighting the fact that they ...

There are plenty other threads. Perhaps reply to them instead of telling us how bored you are with this one?

Are the numbers confirmed, or only the driver stating what they've requested?

What if they get a podium, win or a WDC title challenge? will their stock remain same? will nobody care? at the very least they will battle on track with other highly-rated drivers and teams, and possibly affect the outcome of championship.

Do not rule him out. What if Gutierrez gets very close to Sutil on points, or even beats him in 2014? Come on Esteban! :D That wouldn't be too bad but Sutil isn't exactly rated Sutil is not a ghost, you know. It's like giving someone credit for beating Chilton. You're expected to beat rubbish, so w...

Ennis

What an uninspiring lineup if true. Gutierrez was 2nd worst only to Chilton in my opinion and Sutil had a teammate who made a habit of retiring for 5 races in a row but still beat him.

They basically have 2 of the 3 guys who I think are least deserving of a spot on the grid now.

I prefer stagnation than a ducking fast damn car winning four years in a row. Honest question.... If it is really important to you to keep the car performance very close together why don't you watch a spec series? Why can't people realise that they'd like F1 but with a relatively close performance ...

Ennis

To believe they won't share information pre-contract is naive. There will be behind closed doors conversations taking place already around their 'ideas' (ideas which came up during Red Bull brainstorming sessions).
