True but at 33 it very much ended his F1 career and teams weren't exactly lining themselves up to sign him afterwards. Yeah, he got shafted! Again! I don't think he got shafted as such he just wasn't as highly rated by the people that counted. Against Schumacher, I mean who would? He didn't get a d...

So double yellow equals red now? Why have the double yellow at all? In fact, we should just red flag the session for whenever a car goes off track. Seriously, just force drivers to drive to a delta for the relevant section of track. If it's red flag worthy (aka a driver is in a dangerous position an...

Think you mean 2007 for that one - 2008 he won!

And whilst the crash itself wasn't big, this must have been terrifying for Buemi (free practice, China 2010):

So Russia has to root for a another hopeful after Petrov and Kvyat. Don't know if Sirotkin is still in the picture somewhere?

Sirotkin is clearly fast but has made a number of bone-headed mistakes in GP2 this season.

If he gets enough experience does he evolve into Haunter? Yes but then he will have to move to another team if he wants to develop any further. :lol: A shame that so few people will understand that reference.

First off, this is an idea born out of Hamilton's brain. "That's a solution I've come up with myself," said Hamilton of the component pool plan.

Sauber is a true racers independent team, one which stepped up the ladder from sport cars to Formula 1. Despite all shortcomings, they have been reasonably competitive for their budget all along their history, barring the last couple of years. Hey, they were still scoring podiums in 2012. They brou...

I voted FI over Williams, but it will go to the last race. McLaren could still have a chance based on how much they develop the power unit this season and whether they get at least one big result.

As an aside, next season we'll definitely have a system whereby everybody is allowed a certain amount of selection changes over the season.

A few that I think will probably never be broken: Youngest to start a race: Verstappen has this one set in stone unless the rules changes (which it might).

Between Valtteri Bottas, Romain Grosjean and Sergio Perez, whom do you feel will end their F1 career with the most podiums?

This question should take into consideration whom you believe will end up in cars most capable of podiums in the first place and who will capitalise most on such situations.

For Red Bull, I don't see them holding on to Gasly if they keep Kvyat over him - either he'll have the superlicense points and be good enough to develop in F1 in their eyes, or he's finished. I tend to agree with this. Unless maybe if Kvyat has a REALLY impressive second half of the season and Gasl...

If Mercedes do indeed appeal and Rosberg is elevated back up to second place, will the results be amended accordingly, or is that now the official result regardless of any appeal?

What, Gasly wins for the first time since his FR2.0 days and nobody comes here to post it? ;) As I said somewhere else on the forum, I think Gasly has it in him to either win GP2 or at least finish among the first four which would grant him enough points for the super licence. Kvyat is not safe at ...
