"condemning a chicken thief to the death penalty"

Great quote from Marko. Still exaggerating, and still mad, however.

DWilD

He watches the same races and he is doing exactly what he is paid for. Since when did doing your job start getting classified as madness? I dont agree with anything he says or does, but I can understand what he is doing and that is the best his team can expect of him. Cant fault him for that. Havin...

Is it just me, or does Marko watch different races to the rest of us, with him blaming everthing else but his team when it doesn't go his way?

What is the music on the podium during the champagne? Is it just f1 music or is it part of a 'real' song?

I decided to see how consistent the drivers were via the following points system: 24 points for 1st place 23 points for 2nd place 22 points for 3rd place ..... 2 points for 23rd place 1 point for 24 place 0 points for RET,DNS,DNQ If F1 was scored like that the tables would look like this (compared t...

10/20.

No. 15 - put Clark, then changed to Rindt - bit annoying that.

I ask this because Senna's time at Williams is, if you believe the gossip (which I don't), soon to be up. With all this 'negativety' aimed towards him, I wondered, when compared to his teammate, what was better - consistency (Senna) or race wins (Maldonado). Senna is currently 15th in the championsh...

Ben Edwards did say in the May Motorsport magazine podcast that behind-the-scenes the BBC and Sky teams are sharing a lot of paddock information and have a decent, professional working relationship.

Damn, someone beat me to uploading this quiz this week.

If I was Paul di Resta, I wouldn't be happy that the BBC put this picture up of me. Anyway, see if you can come up with a good caption for the picture. (PS I put the link because I couldn't work out how to put the picture up alone).

I personally think a rotating calendar for certain/most races is the way forward, for a few reasons: The Teams etc. have said that 20 races is the maximum they can afford to do per season. We are at 20 this season, and on top of this there are discontinued races such as Turkey and France, and suppos...

Since this season is a crazy as it can get; I would order Pirelli to make tyres that last a race, but a mandatory pitstop is needed, and the driver has to get out, run around his car, get back in and continue. :twisted: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE introduce this rule.

Not the last GP in Valencia, should be back in 2014 (Spain now alternating like Germany does, from next year). But yes, agreed, that was a surprisingly good race.

Well done, I couldn't have come up with that - you never know, if Timo sees this, it might make him better!

Well I am part of your 'diminishing group', would be interesting to see how far it can go before someone wins for a second time. Believe Hamilton will win (the previous two canadian gp's have been won by the two mclaren drivers), with mercedes pushing them hard, maybe a schumi podium.

Very random topic I know, but anyway, which of the BBC and Sky shirts do people think look better?
