.........i'd also add to that that when a GP2 car sounds better than an F1 car then there is a problem.

Going to an F1 race was all about the theatre of the event, if you take any element of the theatre away it loses something. F1 should remember that there are other forms of racing around that may fill the void.

I hope this isn't what the rest of the season is going to be, just watching Merc go off into the sunset and listening to the ontrack announcers at the venue over the 'playstation' sound effects............ - how many seconds in front of the rest of field????? yawn

My little boy was just playing Mario Kart on Wii..............sounds just like a current F1 car - oh dear

Painful to listen to.......and I don't mean loud painful - supposed to be the pinnacle of motor sport and they sound like a fart, if you can hear the crowd and tyre noise that shows how quiet they are. When you used to go to an F1 race one thing that added to the experience was THE noise, now they a...

Can't wait to hear Kimi's reply to Rob Smedly on the radio....... 'Fernando is faster than you' ..........

Now Shumi's gone............ it's Vettel for me, i don't follow teams at all

If he hadn't have been stuck with a dog of a car for 3 years maybe he would have the motivation to stay......If only he'd have come back with another team.

Yes it was worth it........but not with Mercedes - they were a waste of time with a car that's amongst other things has eaten it's tyres for 3 years and this season want's to spend a lot of it's time with DNF by it's name. The team is a joke.

:( it had to come sometime, i just wish that he hadn't wasted the last 3 years at a team that couldn't produce a consistant top level car, and to be honest i think Mercedes got the best end of the deal (PR wise) without Schumacher and a lackluster car season after season Mercedes would be firmly in ...

doesn't the Sauber do well because of it being kind to it's Tyres and not out and out speed?

This is not how statistics/probability works. If it was then you would have a 50/50 chance of winning the top prize on the lottery. You either win it or you don't, so it's 50/50. If you make a statement saying that you will win the next lottery draw then you have a 50/50 chance of that statement be...

I'll start by saying I am not a Schumi fan and never have been but I'm disgusted by the treatment shown by Brawn towards his old friend I know there is no place for sentiment in sport/business but if his dithering on whether to continue contributed to the signing of Hamilton they should still have ...

I have always said that EJ is the best, most in the know and informative pundit to have ever graced Formula 1 broadcasting. :lol: that's made me laugh ...thanks. He had a 50/50 chance - pick one way and he's a genius, pick the other and he's just the idiot everyone thinks he is and we all would for...

This is racing and if you're not fast enough then you get left behind, schumi has been nothing more than mediocre since his return and its time for him to make way for new talent. ...........correction - MSC's Merc has been mediocre in it's realiabilty this season (which Merc admit), when it worked...

Just for this Merc, I'm not going to buy your cars. Go Screw yourselves.

+1 ...............down 2 sales already

Coming back was a good idea............just not with Merc - it has been a car for realistically finishing 6th 7th or 8th and every new season was just hopes and dreams. Lewis will need a lot of luck (& new engine regs).

Where would he go? Surely Ferrari is his only option? Sauber, I'm sure they'd love to have him but could they afford him? Does he really want another year of not winning? Surely Sauber would benefit from having him in terms of the sponsorship he'd bring in? I really can't see him going there, thoug...

Are some of you serious ? Schumacher not marketable ?????? put Schumacher and Rosberg signing autographs for fans and see who has the longest queue........ i know which one i'd be in line for - that's marketability.

Great chance for them to learn from a man who was done for fraud and had to do a runner and then years later is banned from F1........and wears a thong.

He's full of BS - Schumi all the way for me............ but Briatore's giant size ego is bigger than both of them.

F1 is supposed to be the pinnacle of motor sport, and some people want is presented by a smug childish idiot (witness his grabbing of Ted Kravitz while he was on camera) a miserable envy striken Red Bull fanboy, and a blithering BS merchant who just says the first thing that comes into his empty hea...

One of the Worst has got be Berger, his treatment of Bourdais was truly awful.

I don't think it has anything to do with the drivers - if anything, I think they are usually punching above the cars weight. They really need to hire better tech personnel, that's all - before last years' tech director signing spree, most of the guys in Brackley have proven to be terrible with in-s...

BBC now showing Sky how to do a post race show, excellent. Lazenby to be replaced by Steve Ryder? why not? Absolutely. There's not a great deal of chemistry and fluidity in Sky's coverage. This is why I've always said EJ is great; he says things others might not say, also creates great conflict and...

I must be in a minority but i've always found Jake to be a bit of a prat, EJ to be an embarrassing Uncle and DC to just be irritating with his constant ' Micheal's 1st carrear' nonesense and just not enthusiastic about anything.

I'm starting to lose hope for this team, please don't let's have a season like last year when you're constantly looking forward to next years' car.

Loved the SKY coverage - i dont miss the eedjit with stupid shirts one bit or wooden Coulthard, it's about time F1 coverage was brought up to date and given an overdue makeover.
