We are seeing the result of a talented racer who started his career in the best car and believed too much in his own ability. Now that he is "mortal" his world view is being challenged and - for now- is acting like a little boy who lost his favorite toy. The Torro Rosso was the best car? His first ...

The Torro Rosso was the best car?

Rory

Wow, the first time since 1992 that a team has led every lap of the first four grand prix - that is certianly a measure of Mercedes' success.

Well, he certainly pulled that run out of somewhere!

Rory

It appears i'm going against the grain here... I'd say no, it's not worth it. The cars are moderately interesting in the flesh but it's not mind blowingly different to tv in terms of the impression of speed, I can't really relate to what others are saying. Yes, it appears quicker than with the tv pa...

Twitter suggests the 'great and the good' of F1 commentators are as baffled as we are; I just hope that something can be done about it.

As Pedrosa_4_Ever says, it might get dumped before the year starts but I don't ever remember the medals system being announced by the FIA with no consultation.

Thoughts? Rather too artificial for my tastes.

Rory

I don't like it. First, because the numbers are invisible, and according to the team bosses they will not be any bigger because of the costly sponsorship places. What's the point? Second because choosing the number will only benefit current drivers, any new driver needs to pick up numbers from 30 o...

Sorry if repost - interesting article hear on the 2008 honda v8. Nice to see teams lifting the lid on this sort of thing now that we have the v6s coming, would be interesting to see someone else do the same. http://www.racecar-engineering.com/articles/f1/hondas-f1-engine-revealed/#.UpMcsz-8x0N.twitter

What I found absurd in yesterday's quali that they only continued the session when the track was dry enough for intermediates. What's the purpose of having full wets if they don't let them drive in conditions requiring them? The full wet situation is at times ridiculous, but maybe the reason they s...

Rory

Does anyone have a good link for weather at Interlagos today? The BBC site suggest heavy rain all day until 4pm, which rather contradicts the consensus during qualifying yesterday. Rain is interesting but i'd rather none if it means we avoid the frustrating situation of a safety car procession and t...

Strange question I suppose, but one i've been wondering about - is Rober still paid or sponsored? How has he been supporting himself during the recovery? Does he have private wealth? (I assume he had a large insurance payout as well).

Rory

This is no different to a team dominating in any other area (aero, suspension etc.), in fact, it's the very essence of Formula 1. Or has that been forgotten in the few years of frozen engines?

Rory

So people not actually on the track are in a better decision to decide what is driveable? Drivers want to win, they are quite capable of crossing the danger line in pursuit of this. So the driver shouldn't be able to choose what risks they take? That's madness and doesn't stand up to much pressure,...

Rory

Fantastic 'rant' from Gary Anderson - if the drivers think it's too dangerous - they can pull over and park it! If they think they can drive and they put it into the barrier - tough I disagree with him. Why push drivers into killing themselves in bad conditions? That's the point, they can choose no...

Rory

i think the fact that Lewis, who is usually up for it, suggested over the radio for a red flag was a big indication just how bad it was out there with the spray Exactly. Bunch of armchair fools saying otherwise. And I'd include Anderson in that. Jesus can people not reason an argument. You're not F...

Just no.

Anyways, this is crazy.

Sunday is going to be wide open for ANYONE to win if this weather continues.

There won't be a race on Sunday if it's like this.

Rory

Every single time it rains most of the board gets massively excited, and I say that this kind of thing will happen and it'll be red flagged. Why does no-one learn? This is how Charlie Whiting and F1 now deals with these situations. Gary Anderson is correct.

Rory

In before delayed/red flagged/safety car race.

Rory

What the hell is going on!?

Rory

Raikkonen has the second most fastest laps of the active drivers, Schumi of course the number one. No idea why he always pulls that super fast couple of laps before end. Still waiting for that clean quali and race to see where they can get. Also there was problems with Kers till the middle, and may...

Rory

I'm sure it's already been said, but Kimi did extraordinarily well to cope with very wet conditions for the first time having done NO wet testing for two years. So the first time he experienced it was in a race situation!

Rory

This is bullsh*t. I knew this kind of thing would happen, I don't know why people get excited about it when this is the result. I'm going to the gym, f*ck this.

Rory

Man, if only they didn't hold this race in a country that has a damn monsoon every afternoon right as the race is scheduled to start. If only there was some way to predict it so that we didn't have to deal with the race being stopped due to heavy rain.... More to the point a couple of years ago the...

That is what usually happens when it rains like this, despite most of the board celebrating rain; it usually results in a boring start and most of the race under the SC.

Rory

When I hear the words 'delayed start' because of the rain my heart sinks.

Rory

Out of interest, if a driver gets pole and then subsequently take a penalty on the grid, does it still count as that driver having got pole? One would think it would because they were fastest in the session, but i'm not sure.

Rory

If only they didn't decide to have the race at a time of year that means torrential downpours are more likely which stop everyone from watching a full (or even any) racing; but, not just that, they make the race later in the day which makes encountering that kind of rain even more likely. Stupid as ...
