Vettel in the 2014 Redbull.

If people think sudden deceleration was the cause of the injury let's take into consideration David Purley who crashed during pre-qualifying at Silverstone when his throttle stuck open. He went into a wall doing 108mph and stopped in less than 66cm which resulted in a 180G load. He made a full recov...

It looks like its going to absolutely chuck it down all Sunday.

If no race goes ahead or starts I guess it be cancelled completely & we all move on to Russia.

Maldonado crashes!

Vettel out of FP2.

cmberry20

Bit quiet around here, everyone must still be on holiday.

Anyway, FP2 in 5 minutes and we should see some sub 1.50 times.

Ferrari were found guilty of breaking the no team order rules and were fined €100000. They didn't appeal against it thus accepting guilt. Thus this brings me on to Lewis Hamilton and McLaren in Australia 2009, Lewis was told by the team to lie about what happened and was found out, he was then disqu...

Fair play to Alonso, he handled it well. Completely unfair to be put in that position because the team cheated & it should have been Domenicali or LdM answering those questions. (even though they lied through their teeth too)

In other news, Mercedes have re-branded themselves & are now called 'Ferrari'

Bad news for drivers imo, let them fight for positions. If you cant over take then tough luck.

cmberry20

I'm 100% sure that come the 1st race of 2015, Ferrari will have built Alonso a car that is capable of winning the WDC & WCC. Then the other teams will turn up & it will be back to the drawing board for the 2016 car.

cmberry20

Pfff, I'll stick to Pitstop 2 and Super Monaco Grand Prix. The pinnacle in racing games.

Ask your parents kiddies.

cmberry20

Well, Schumacher won in the pitlane.

cmberry20

Well I think Mercedes are off the table unless things go really south with Hamilton and leaves. So realistically, the only possible seat will be at McLaren, it might be worth the punt if Alonso can forget the past. Either that or wait till Ferrari to produce a winning car, I'm sure sometime ago Ferr...

As long as Williams maintain their momentum and Massa doesn't crash in to anything else (albeit his last crash wasn't his fault) then I think they have Ferrari beat.

cmberry20

The way things are going, it looks likely Williams will pass Ferrari in the WCC in Germany.

It might be a question of can Ferrari stay ahead of McLaren?

cmberry20

I'm actually bordering on not liking them.

Cant really put my finger on it, but they look wrong!

cmberry20

Was that a couple of years ago?

The British crowd is one of the best in the world, applause for every driver regardless of which team they drive for.

cmberry20

From his own point of view? Sure, no harm in considering. Yes, from his point of view. He has gone on record saying that he want Titles not respect. Currently, it's not looking likely he's going to get many titles with Ferrari. Senna had no qualms in jumping ship to go to the best team so that he c...

McLaren seems to be the only team that looks likely. They have openly said they will have him back.

cmberry20

I know this is yet another Alonso thread (sorry), but I thought it warranted its own poll. Most consider Alonso to be one of the best drivers on the grid, however, after this year it will be 8 years since his last WDC. One of, if not the main reason for not winning the WDC since 2010 is Ferrari. The...

1993 was the last year that Ferrari went a whole season without a win.

In that season they managed two 3rd places & one 2nd place. I think they might actually manage less this year!

Sniff Petrol seems to have nailed it... http://sniffpetrol.com/2014/06/24/ferrari-announces-tantrum-special/ :lol: :thumbup: Thats the funniest thing I read for quite a while. Sums up Ferrari brilliantly: "The 458 Edizione Grande Bambino features petulant bodywork, stroppy wheels and a series of to...

I'm not for dropping FP1 but how about this: No practice sessions on Friday and it becomes a press day like Thursday is now. Saturday has two 2 hour practice sessions, one in the morning then 1 hour lunch and then the other practice session in the afternoon. Qualifying is then done on the Sunday mo...

Does Ferrari have too much historical Baggage? No, it has too much arrogance. Historical baggage, sense of entitlement, arrogance. Different terms for pretty much the same thing. Kind of, but look at Williams.... massive in the 80s & dominance throughout the 90s, but look at them now; a shadow of t...

Yeah great news. Now all they have to do is get rid of the designers at Mercedes, Williams & McLaren & they might win a race or two!!

cmberry20

Judging by the starts that Williams have been having this season, we might see one of them in second place at the first corner, dare I even say - maybe 1st!

cmberry20

For going off the track - error, no penalty.

For reversing back in to the track into on coming traffic - silly, penalty.

Imo.

cmberry20

I watched the 2012 Monco F1 hightlights on the BBC last night & I had absolute no memory of the race. I think the only overtakes were in the pitlane & I think that was Hamilton dropping places to Alonso & Vettel.
However, I found 2010, 2011 & 2013 races pretty entertaining.

cmberry20

I surprised that no one has mentioned Coulthard turning down a Ferrari drive just because he didnt want to be Schumachers No.2.

Grid penalty for Vettal for gearbox change, starts 15th.

cmberry20

7 Deg F? Awesome, better get some snow tyres on the cars then!

cmberry20

One unscientific observation about this whole topic is; when you listen to Red Bull, they concede they are down on power and performance but fully expect to claw back - as do most of the fans. With Ferrari, they/we conceded they are down on power and performance but are almost resigned to be stuck ...

Probably waving at all those back markers in front of him to move out the way.

cmberry20

Isnt it in the rules now that is you have a grid penalty you carry over any 'left over' penalty position into the next race? So if Ricciardo qualifies 15, he drops 7 places to 22 but still has 3 penalty places to incur, therefore, these places are then taken at the next race? Is this right? Or does ...

cmberry20

So, I want to be the Devils advocate here, but when Vettal disobeys team orders he's at fault and the whole F1 community joins together to chastise him and to point out that's his selfish and not a team player. When Ferrari instigate team orders is because no driver is bigger than the team and the d...

cmberry20

I think it would be ironic (and also hilarious) if Vettel wins the WDC in the final race because of the double points rule. I think the only reason the FIA came up with this stupid rule is to give another driver other than Vettel a chance of winning the WDC in the final race. So for Vettel to win fr...

Charlie.... 'there's a leaf on the track - better red flag the session!'
