I can understand people being bored. But I could never get the hate. Yes at times you see an ugly side but all champions have this. Otherwise they would never get to the top and stay there. Maybe it is because he drives for a 'non traditional' racing team? He will be remembered as one of the all tim...

Wow i wonder what Nico will have to say about this interview. He threw a fit when Vettel said his team is the hardest working (Ballsgate), imagine what he will say when he hears that Lewis thinks he is higher callibre. I wondered the same thing when I read that Lewis said he and Nico would not be t...

James14

I agree. Even when you take out the freakish incidents (Rosberg's nose coming off, Webber on fire) there was a heck of a lot of hard battles with multiple bunches of cars. There were a lot of non-DRS passes at unlikely places, some interesting strategy, and the right front tires on everyone's cars ...

James14

Good interview. I feel he spoke the truth about Alonso. In a lot of ways he has enhanced his reputation by competing in a lesser car than the RB. His overall consistency shows his class.
Vettel is a great driver, no doubt, but he won't win over everyone until he is in a lesser car battling it out.

True but it could be extended by a few minutes. Although the panic could be good viewing and throw up a few different results.

I think the Q2 is a bit pointless. Why not just put the top 10 into the shootout. It would make Q1 more exciting and eliminate the top teams just doing enough in Q2 to get into Q3.

Any chance of a lift?

I agree. Something needs to be done.

James14

A little bit of mind games chaps. I did not see the interview but I'd guess there was a smile on his face.

If it has riled Nico then all the better. It's all a bit too pally on the circuit at the minute. We need a bit more needle and edge between more drivers if you ask me.

Jenson Button has suggested that the minimum weight of 2014 cars should be increased
Fear is that taller, heavier drivers could be handicapped by new rules

"Vettels car not illegal" Fernando Alonso

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/24381349

James14

Great thread. Looking forward to the rest of it.

James14

Vettels talent does not stop with his driving skills. He is also a good politician. He has made it is business to be on good terms with the powers that be in F1. Hence his good relationship with Bernie. Despite this though, Bernie knows that F1 needs titanic battles for the WDC, not a cake walk. Whi...

I think you have a point here, Vettel is just short shifting and that in itself if used correctly is a form of traction control, even exiting a corner one gear higher will give you some degree of "traction control

This makes so much sense. And it is obvious he has this mastered.

James14

I do think Senna, Prost and Schumacher deserve to be mention in the same breath.

I feel Senna was really special. He would have been a champion in any era.

James14

Top competitive drivers always look to get into a better car or a team with serious potential. Generally these teams usually pay better. Top drivers are among a rare elite and considering they are in a dangerous sport deserve to be well paid. If a driver left a competitive team to go to an uncompeti...

Mark "Taxi!" Webber

James14

Elderly?! He's 66 and retired in 2006. Also, it hardly reads like a conspiracy theory or an accusation. There is no suggestion it is anything other that conjecture based upon personal observations from a man with a great deal of experience. His interest seems to be describing and understanding some...

How have the big teams not seen this and produced evidence?

James14

I'm hoping that these engine rumours are being fed by Ferrari to throw the opposition.

James14

I believe it will be a lot closer. Even leaving out the new rules Ferrari have assembled a good team and Mercedes are heading in the right direction.

James14

I'm glad to see the big no vote as I post. Are they pushing everything to the absolute limit? Yes. Thats what good teams do. Are they cheating? No. If there was even a scrap of evidence the other teams would be screaming blue murder and a lot of legal people would be very busy right now! I suspect e...

If i were to be at a grand prix and boo it would be for the following reasons: I'll try to tackle these one by one. Vettel Taking out Weber in Turkey 2010, and the ensuing gesticulation - he didn't take him out, which would imply that it was deliberate. They collided with Vettel moving across back ...

James14

Ferrari would end up paying Massa's and Kimi's wages.

James14

I've heard it said that Vettel, Newey and Horner are nearly always last to leave the track on Friday and Saturday evenings. They work late analysing every detail of the data to see where they can improve. Maybe he is alluding that a lot don't bother and are off enjoying themselves (taking a dip in t...

James14

Why is it always the top team's advantage that is unfair? If for example Ferrari has 1 second advantage to Mclaren or any other team for that matter, it's not unfair, it's just normal? But when the currently fastest car, Red Bull has the same advantage to Ferrari, then it's unfair and Red Bull must...

James14

To be honest I am getting sick and tired of people shouting down other posters as "conspiracy theorists" whenever someone dares raise a question that an F1 team may not be behaving ethically. In my opinion that's a lazy response designed to stiffle any meaningful debate. I agree with the OP that th...

James14

Like it.

James14

Unfortunately though the only way to guarantee that they would be on time for every race was to acquire a Newey designed Red Bull bus. Bit embarrassing really.......

James14

RBR is the new Area 51.
Except there are way more conspiracy theories about Red Bull. I believe they also have a secret base on the moon and are part of the New World Order. They may also be able to control the weather...........

James14

It has been mentioned already but more gravel traps where the car is beached.
It would add bit of a lottery to it and punish driver error.

Qualifying needs to be looked at too. Either skip the Q2 and let the top ten through from Q1 or just have a one hour session where all have to participate.

James14

I think he is always honest when interviewed. He usually owns up when he makes a mistake so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt here.

James14

Why are you blaming Red Bull for doing such a good job? You should direct your anger at the 10 other teams who are not doing well enough. I agree with this 100%. I'm a Ferrari fan and the car is not good enough. Simple as that. RB are doing a better job in every department and it is up to the other...

James14

Fans like to see this type of thing. I smiled when I seen it.

A rap on the knuckles and a fine payable to charity would have sufficed. Webber has been a great example and advertisement for F1 throughout his career.

James14

I think it was fair journalism and far from 'gutter press'.
If a journalist fabricated what Martin Whitmarsh said then it would have been gutter journalism. But he did say it so it is fair and right to analyse and speculate on it.

What was before the Big Bang? Take two aspirin before you read this.. Most of us think of space as having the three basic dimensions with time as the fourth just marching on. But before the big bang there was no space, no time, nothing, not even three dimensions. Nothing. Not even time. Forgive my ...

I think Alonso has made the Ferrari look an awful lot better than it is really. As a Ferrari fan nearly all qualifying sessions are a bit depressing. I do think the limited testing has hurt them (and McLaren also). After the car is launched both teams seem to scrabbling about in the dark and updates...

James14

If this ends up being true, thats maybe another hint suggesting that the 2014 Turbo Ferrari will be fairy cakes. Hope not Thats another variable which may add to Alonso switching. As a Ferrari fan it pains me to say it but if I was to put money on it I'd say Mercedes may well come up with the best ...
