Alonso might be remembered to be a ruthless character, mostly off the track. He will also remembers as the driver who deserved more titles than he actually got. Guess his team choices would soon be lost in pages of history. What will remain is: - He beat Michael Schumacher - Closely missed three tit...

Regardless of top teams wanting Ricciardo, today is a sufficient argument for him to switch teams. Verstappen will not learn so fast, but he will keep harrassing him like this, which ultimately will drop Ricciardo's stock on the market. As said, Renault looks to be a good option, but I am pretty sur...

I've heard rumours of a larger turbo floating around. But during qualifying I think they mentioned new intakes (variable perhaps?) and fuel injectors. Sounded like they were planning to change up a few of the things that only cost 1 point each, lots of small changes. I would hazard a guess that the...

Hamilton Vettel Rosberg Kimi Rosberg looks absolutely clueless of what to do of Hamilton's winning runs. Vettel may well haul him on various occasions throughout the season where Ferrari is near Mercedes. Kimi Raikkonen does not stand a chance against Vettel, unless Vettel has instances of pure bad ...

While the Mercedes, Ferrari, Williams wonder who is gonna give them tough time today for race win, McLaren is looking forward to just seeing the chequered flag under its own power. As a FA fan, this is getting kind of too frustrating. To make things worse, we have 3-week break until Barcelona to see...

Getting same error here too. Forum working fine, website is not accessible

Why would Mercedes need Alonso, when with the competitive advantage they hold now and will probably hold for another 2-3 seasons, they can even win with Max Chilton in the seat? Realistically Alonso can be either at RBR or McLaren. I doubt RBR is anymore an attractive place to be considering Newey i...

So do we have any decent chance of rain during the race ? It has been ages since we saw rain mid-way during the race, shuffling the entire order and springing up surprises

Faisal

Clearly LH fault. You could see Bottas maintaining the line and LH moving into him

Faisal

Mercs are on wet setup I guess. And at the moment all they might be doing now is praying for rain

Faisal

Reminds me of final races of 2007 season when Alonso had a bad qualifying session, probably in China and he blamed team for playing with tire pressures. By that time, it was certain he is on his way out so he could badmouth the team. Not much different from Maldonado. Drivers are human beings, they ...

Faisal

It all depends how much it rains to bring a red flag. But we dont mind uninvited showers, dont we ? And on a track like Austin with medium speed corners, a wet track can bring a lot of action

Faisal

Any chances of rain?

I hope you are being ironic

I'd put that Jenson needs a better team than McLaren. (Counting McLaren's today's form). If any of the recent rumors hold any water, McLaren would be getting Alonso, who would be good for the team as well as Jenson. We might have two very race-oriented and smart drivers fighting it out on Sunday, no...

Faisal

If that was true, neither Kimi or Alonso would be sticking to a single team beyond one year.

Faisal

the pit exit was done safely, its further down the road that Alonso gets pushed off the track, It's all one move. Alonso saw Vergne on pit lane exit, decided to not lift and instead plant his foot. That's still part of exiting the pit lane. Alonso was not punished because he was faster, being on op...

Q: What if Kimi matches (or worse beats) Alonso ?

Just sharing a spoiler video of 2007 season shown on Star Sports before start of 2008 season. Was watching my old videos collection which include some other F1 videos too, so thought to share: Note video quality is quite poor so bear with it http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f251/Faisal2715/th_F1200...

It's gonna be fun when those front runners who did not stop during SC are gonna pit. And it seems those who stopped have switched to 2-stop strategy

Faisal

Not a prospective race for any of contenders. Lap 10 and he's already 7s clear of P2. And with F1 now less loaded with technical failures and driver mistakes, nothing is gonna change

Faisal

Ferrari is really fast in S3. Alonso has been posting purples in it for sometime

Faisal

It's the car. Everything that is unique in F1 is also related to the car, not the people. If you look at most of the regulations, they also focus on car rather than behavior/methodology

Faisal

If it's a wet race, my money is on LH to win it comfortably or it could be Webber. Dont see Ferrari/Vettel/Lotus doing anything spectacular

Faisal

Alonso-Hamilton battle is what made this race worth watching. Very calm and composed driving by both. Seb is in a different league today. No matter where had Alonso started, he would not have got near Seb today.

Faisal

The current era is far better than the era you mentioned in terms of viewership. However, yes, today the trick of the trade is tires which seems unacceptable to some viewers

Faisal

Renault alternator might win it for Alonso... On a serious, if Alonso somehow manages to extend his lead on McLarens in next 1,2 races, he needs McLaren to start taking top positions in races to ensure Vettel doesn't get much lead on him if Vettel is finishing ahead of Alonso in races. It's clear un...

Banning some drivers wont be outrageous at this point

Faisal

Those running higher downforce will be the ones running at the front as the race progresses

Faisal

It's understandable why Ferrari want to jump ahead of others already. Last time engine freeze came, Ferrari engine wasn't the best around in terms of power and was unreliable at the same time. With time reliability has improved but it still gets beaten by Mercedez in terms of power and Renault in te...

Kind of annoying.

Not just annoying, way too much advantage considering the speed advantage one would gain.

Just like we say our systems in universe can be described systematically by numbers, which are essentially an orderly figures,...

With the level of reliability improved throughout F1 teams, I find it pretty harsh to penalize a driver for equipment change. This is of course from a viewer's point of view although i agree fairness of competition demands there ought to be fairness for those who dont go for a change. But I wonder h...

I would have agreed with Whitmarsh some 6 years ago, but right now I without any doubt feel Vettel is the fastest driver on the grid followed by Lewis Hamilton.

This is the reason I would never keep a reptile:

I am not knowledgeable to comment on others, but putting Minardi into that list is a big joke. It's the team that gave us Webber, Alonso and was a 'renowned backmarker' when it ran and after it quit.

3 car team is an unrealistic idea considering cost and of course, pitlane issues as well as those sky high wages. I'd rather prefer a sprint race like the one A1GP used to have. The sprint race drivers should be different from ones in the main race or alternatively, one of the drivers can move out t...

HRT surviving in F1 is an achievement itself. And one has to be deluded to say they haven't made any progress. Earlier they used to be the borderline case in 107% rule, now they are far from situation where they wont be allowed to start the grand prix and keep running whole race, sometimes finding t...
