I think Perez deserves a mention to be honest.... And Kobayashi, Hulkenberg, Rosberg and a young man called Sebastian Vettel. I'd love to add Alguesuari to that list if he gets a drive next season! You've forgotten Di Resta, who by the way hasn't been as messy as Maldonado but seems to be equally t...

Some thought that Force India's performance yesterday was not not genuine but today in FP3, they were 4th & 5th! They have got some minor upgrades but it seems that the track & the temperatures varying around are suiting the team & the duo - Paul & Nico will surely try to maximise the performances w...

Yesterday does not matter. Today it will show if they really have pace to be ahead of teams like Ferrari and McLaren. Hamilton in interview said that they had multiple setup problems yesterday. So I expect them to be fixed today. Ferrari were in their aero and component testing mode yesterday. So w...

Yesterday in FP1 & FP2, Force India looked genuinely fast. So much so that the McLaren drivers were even amazed that they had so much speed out here in Valencia.

Hoping for a strong weekend for Force India.

Force India are looking to be 1 of the 3 top teams for the weekend! I know practice times don't mean much but they surely indicate something. Nico Hulkenberg's run in FP2 was superb & if Force India can be as competitive, then Sauber & Williams need to be on their guard. As always, will be rooting f...

Am i allowed Jimmy Clark? I know it was a formula2 race, but he was at the top of his game in in F1 at the time; it was a time when drivers compeated in any race they could including different series's.

Bandini This accident took place just because all of the cars that were participating in the race did not have identical brakes!

horrendous, tragic,

That tragedy just proved that back then safety wasn't given the highest regard.

The very instant Tom Pryce's car struck the marshall, 2 lives were lost instantly! Sheesh.

Well, it would be great if Schumacher or Raikonnen won but considering the technicality of the circuit, Red Bull might have an edge. McLaren should do well out here as the track has a few long straights. Alonso would be the favourite & Lotus as a team would the favourite. Nonetheless, I'm ever excit...

More sad because someone who died was good looking? Maybe an undenieable trait of human emotions but a very sad indictment of society. I hope that post wasn't made by an adult.

The reason why I feel the saddest for Francois Cevert's accident is because he suffered the most gruesome death & also because he was the most handsome driver ever in F1. Had he not been in F1, he would've excelled in Fashion Modelling. http://www.abendblatt.de/multimedia/archive/00038/243523v1_jpg_...

The problem is that F1 cars just accelerate too quickly- it's amazing for racing in series like GP2 and GP3. Somewhat unfortunate that F1 just isn't suited!

Tom Pryce's accident is always the one I tell people about when they ask about deaths in F1 (me being the F1 anorak of the group) just because of the bizarre series of events that caused it.

From the list as presented (I miss Jim Clark, though his death came in a F2 crash) I vote Senna, because of the circumstances in F1 at the time of his death.

Usual suspects from here on out. Maybe a Lotus driver can bag a victory. But I think they've missed their chance to do it on raw pace.
