Schuttelberg

Mate, I understand what you mean. I said this earlier as well.. You can't please everyone. Same with Vettel. But, he had to go for that strategy because of his poor qualifying and start. What he made out of it was brilliant, but he put himself in that position. I'm his fan too, just like I'm adaman...

Schuttelberg

I think there's something you need to accept, not just as a driver, but also as a fan. You just can't please them all. I don't want to sound like some Einstein, but back in '05 and '04, a lot of fans would say that Schumacher could not pass. He only knew how to overtake in the pits which was absolu...

Schuttelberg

I don't know what to make of Vettel's drive. On the plus side: - Moved from 11th to the grid to 5th in the race - Had good race strategy - Finished ahead of other drivers on a 2 stop strategy except Rosberg On the down side - Lost a lot of places at start - Lost 3 places in the closing laps - Unabl...

Schuttelberg

I imagine I want to keep this driver for a few years. It's a mid-field team. I can't imagine Alonso is the way to go, personally. I'd go either Hamilton, Webber or Rosberg. They've all had experience in awful cars and haven't spat the dummy. As I couldn't pick which one, I'd beat di Montezemolo to ...

Schuttelberg

Obviously the criteria for selection must be the ability to obtain points towards the drivers' championship. Thus, despite my allegiance to Mark Webber, I'd have to go with Alonso . This is a no-brainer. He is the best driver of his generation. Like the lion of the jungle, his status cannot be ques...

Everybody seems to pick Fernando saying how consistantly quick he is, all we know is how weak his team mates have been and when he did have a quick team mate he was beaten, this myth that Fernando is the greatest is a little blinkered imho. It's not his speed that makes him the logical choice. Even...

I genuinely believe the forever 3rd and forever 4th thread should be deleted. I understand the one pertaining to Rosberg.. It's been happening since last year. Useless topics, with no sense of discussion.

Schuttelberg

There were two stories I was watching last night. 1) Could Kobash get a podium: we all saw how that turned out unfortunately. And 2) can Vettel pass, or as his critics suggest, only lead races. Personally, since I started this thread, Ill have to say that I leaned towards the latter but had not mad...

Schuttelberg

I voted for Schumacher. However, I don't know what my budget is and how long I'm looking to hire someone. There are a lot of other factors involved. If you tell me, here, you have 50 million dollars, sign me someone for the next 5 years. I would without a shadow of a doubt hire Button. Reasons? 1) H...

Schuttelberg

I see some people here are cheering him on to win a race before he is done for good. I've followed Schumacher since 1994, and if I know him, he will have a detailed idea of why Rosberg was so much faster than he was, prepare to the nth degree and come back stronger. He may or may not race beyond thi...

Steve Slater has been corrected by Karun atleast 20 times already.

I'd bet a couple of quids on both the Merc's winning the GP. Far fetched, but I think the price is right.

I think the whole 'unpredictability' thing is being blown out of proportion. I for one, fully expected it to be McLaren vs Mercedes on the front two rows. Kobayashi, I expected to see in the top 10, specially after his performance in Q1. No real surprises for me other than seeing Vettel out of it. W...

Schuttelberg

I was on board the Nico Rosberg lap yesterday, in qualifying on full HD, with Karun Chandok doing commentary and I must say, that was as flawless a lap as I've seen, in my near two decades of watching. I've seen as good laps being done by other drivers, but this was right up there. Fabulous lap, gre...

You are correct sir. I am really bad sometimes.

Mercedes-Benz have confirmed that Roberto Merhi and Robert Wickens will join their DTM driver lineup for this season, forming a new Junior Team with fellow young driver Christian Vietoris. The trio will be mentored by Michael Schumacher, who benefited from a similar scheme himself before racing in ...

I'm not ashamed. I could do with KC though.

Schuttelberg

I don't really want to get into 'who's' fault is was when they were racing. It happened, it happened. I don't understand the issue people are having with Vettel's reaction? He's human and he can express himself. I don't have an issue with Narain's reply either. The FIA should shut up and stop handin...

Schuttelberg

Has to be button on Karthikeyan :D Id also say Button on Massa, Good wheel to wheel action stuff and showed brilliant think from Jensen who never backed out of it. I really think that Massa is a lunatic who could crash just to not get passed and this is quite dangerous, I would say if this was anyo...

Schuttelberg

First off i have to say that i always liked Perez from when he started last year (mainly because i liked smooth drivers, and he and JB seem the best at it). He really did seem as a decent driver. Today's result was magnificent for him and he drove an excellent race, i really wish he had passed Alon...

Schuttelberg

He is absolutely the best in F1 right now! I dont think anyone cant handle a high pressure situation like today (or like Singapore 2010) and somehow make it look effortless! Even if Perez kept on him, the way he saved KERS to cancel out Perez's DRS had me convinced he would have stayed ahead! His r...

Schuttelberg

And besides the point and nothing to do with Vettel's conduct, I do feel that the HRT is extremely dangerous for these guys in these conditions. They're just nowhere. I hail from India, and though I'm proud of NK being the first Indian to compete in F1, KC is far better than him and NK has always h...

Schuttelberg

They could have both avoided the collision. Vettel cut infront of Narain too quickly and Narain moved slightly towards Vettel. I think that the point here isn't whose fault it was, but the fact that Vettel handled himself poorly in the interview. BBKing. :D You and I always tangle and never seem to...

Schuttelberg

I would say it is Vettel... I mean a Sauber was eating him alive today and he got tons of breaks with McLaren messing up Hamilton's stop, Button losing his nose, etc...

so that he could say..

Schuttelberg

That he may generally be, but today he shown he still has some responsibility left in him. At their direct battle (especially when the Toro Rosso was also on the curve) I felt damn sure Massa will blow Button sky-high. Glad to see the Brazilian can still make the right calls sometimes. Not so glad ...

Let's see if Vettel is man enough to admit it was his mistake. He won't because it wasn't. As I posted above - the stewards determined it was NK's mistake http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/f1_me...document-36.pdf I read that NK apologized to Vettel. this link does not work Vettel clearly called ...
