6th last for me

thought I might have picked some points up with the lottery, but it really didn't work out! Quite stupid of me to leave out Vettel completely, and for no reason at all...

This is my first time really getting into Le Mans 24hours. I was just wondering: Mark Wevver had the fastest time in qualifying yesterday night, only for the session to be red flagged by a crash, does that mean he is on pole or was that like Q1 or something? I'm probably looking a bit ignorant atm ...

When the electrics failed, the rear brakes had to take over the load the KERS was doing, namely provide some braking force. If you are in a race and the electrics failed in such a manner, it doesn't take a genius to connect the dots and realize that brakes that were already on the limit would be as...

Croatia because it'd be nice for the underdog to beat Brazil... Oops Started watching hill loved the guy and now support lewis. It's nice to have a fellow countryman who might possibly be the best driver in f1 too Croatia, because Brasil are a cheating sour of *****. Oh, F1? 8O Alonso, because 2012...

The fans are dying off? I'm not being completely facetious, there is almost zero promotion of the sport, and being primarily pay per view makes it almost impossible for a casual viewer to happen upon it and become a fan. Sky and SkySportsNews are showing F1 news a lot. I can't see why the fans woul...

Merc themselves said they don't know if the electronics failure was even connected to the brake failure either. It could have been that Lewis cooked his brakes in the dirty air of Rosberg anyway. We will never know that now. Judging from the team radio messages, Lewis also had more rearwards brake ...

Hamilton's breaks failed because he was not running in clear air. He wasn't running in clear air because Nico did a better job in qualifying. Doesn't sound like luck to me. That's strange logic. Like blaming a guy for finishing 2nd in Qualifying because the guy who started 4th ploughed in to the ba...

Could it be people are turning to online streams instead of paying a TV subscription, these drops in ratings seems to coincidentally coincide with F1 going to pay to view across many countries. I think that could be the main reason behind a drop of a few million viewers this season. I think that tv...

Luck inserted itself into the equation when the KERS system failed. That happened to both drivers, and from that point forward it wasn't luck but who was best at managing limited and damaged resources. We don't get radio messages live and all of them, all we get are sound bytes a few moments after....

I'll try find it now, saw it a few days ago. Lol Edit: sorry man, I've looked throughout he two places where I would have seen it, but it wasn't there.

Still, it was not luck that Nico drove superbly to finish in second. He made up for his loss in energy by putting in sublime pace for the first two sectors each lap. With the brake bias supposedly shifted toward the front, it's a wonder he never made a mistake through the braking after doing so. As...

Schumacher forever#1

I find this very interesting, but I'm not sure if it reflects on the true consistency of the drivers. Isn't this more of a NASCAR table rather than consistency table. If I were you, I'd wait until the end of the season (yes, I know, that's a long time away) and measure consistency of each driver by...

I usually prefer to watch the BBC coverage. Brundle really annoys me, he just doesn't seem to be aware of the finer points. This weekend, I don't know how long it took him for it to sink in that Perez didn't have a DRS problem (he was just falling out of the 1 second range through sectors 1 and 2)....

I've barely played F1 2013 because of Gran Turismo. I'm on Bahrain in career mode, at least it's better than F1 2012, when I raced one or two grand prix. I guess it was a bad idea to buy FIFA 13 on the same date... Haha I am in the same boat mate. GT6 has taken me over! I have not played any other ...

Shocked that it's only a 5 place grid drop, given how serious the accident he caused was. In my opinion, I don't think it should have been more. The FIA are way too strict these days, and they must realise that drivers cannot be 100% perfect when battling for position. Yes, it was Perez' fault that...

Schumacher forever#1

I think that Vettel has been quite good this season. He has been a bit unfortunate when he missed out on Q3 in Bahrain and he has had terrible luck in some races. Having said that, Ricciardo still had bad luck as well in Malyasia and Australia. But Kimi, for me, has been more disappointing. It's bee...

Jacko, A racing driver wants to get as far as he can to the outside in order not to lose speed in the corner due to a tighter angle.

Massa for me, mostly because I feel sorry for his lonely 0 votes, and that people are giving him a lot of stick that isn't deserved. Great race by him, but seemed to struggle to pass the RBs, perhaps because they were getting equal tow and DRS as Massa. Hamilton struggled to pass Seb without the aid...

Schumacher forever#1

If Perez hadn't flung out his car on the way into turn one to the left, Massa would not have collided. I'm pretty sure the racing line is not to swerve to the left whilst braking. Massa had already committed to the move when Perez moved over. Racing incident, in my view, although most of the blame g...

7/10 3 points taken away because it took a serious issue with the Mercs to liven up the GP. Otherwise it would have been regular processional race. But it turned out to be a great race due to it. Specially towards end. Excellent drive by all podium finishers. It wouldn't have been a processional at...

140/140 :) Best race since Valencia in 2012, me thinks. Feel so gutted that Felipe ended in the wall. Williams picked up a miserable 6 points today and I would have given anything to see Felipe on that podium on more time; Ricciardo would have gotten another chance again, but Felipe will never get a...

I hope the French Open doesn't clash with the build up on Sky. This happens every year, and Wimbledon is on the same time as Silverstone :'(

Schumacher forever#1

I agree with your points Wojo, but the points are not picked up during qualifying, and, yes, Alonso's pace has deteriorated a tad, but he has improved immensely in the races IMO. He is extremely good at picking out the right strategy in the race and I think his experience has made him much better th...

Schumacher forever#1

Kimi just isn't on alonsos level Tbh, I don't think anyone they could have realistically brought in would be on Alonso's level. TBH Alonso is overrated. Lewis beat Alonso in his rookie year, Nico seems to be equal to Lewis and Vettel is lighting fast too! Then there is Daniel Ricciardo and Botas an...

Schumacher forever#1

In the long term, probably, Kimi and Alonso are both approaching the end of their careers and really don't have that much left in them. I'd be amazed if Kimi was in the Ferrari for 2016 partnering Alonso. They probably should have gotten someone younger like Hulk a shot because he could learn and e...

Did anyone hear Simon Lazenby talking when showing the Drivers' Championship as it stands in Qualifying today? He said that Vettel had never been beaten by a teammate yet, has he been visiting the PlanetF1 forum?

If you don't count the kerb as being a part of the race track, maybe another car could fit into it. But, for most circuits, the kerb is part of the track.

Ah, now, Japan was at the start with Kimi's front wing catching his car. If you watch the start again, it's extremely tight into the first corner. Brazil 2012 saw nearly every driver leave the track, and are you talking about the overtake with Alonso and another driver coming out of the pits? If so,...

Alonso would never won a race like Hamilton in Bahrain. Not in the same league as Bahrain 2014 but Nurburgring 2007 was a good old scrap between himself and Massa I think Alonso holding off Schumacher for pretty much half a race at Imola in 2005 would count as similar to Hamilton's Bahrain win tbh....

Schumacher forever#1

That would be insane, Mcdo! I'm not sure if it would be fair, and, as always, there are a few minor problems associated with these ideas. I'll tell you one thing, though, the whole world would want to watch qualifying with that format.

Max Chilton if he still gets pocket money for the next 3 years.

Yeah, soccer, much like F1, has to keep the priorities to the fans sometimes. My friends and I always wanted the Golden Goal system, thinking that it would encourage offensive play. I didn't realise it was in tournaments before and that it would encourage defensive play.
