Indeed, and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the current concept, just trying to think of a way the shootout format could work. The shootout-Q3 might be easier to follow as there isn't as much action simultaneously and we'd be sure to be able to follow each lap while currently we're at th...

No. Afaik the next driver would come out of the pits when the previous is doing his hot lap.

Then I would say no to the concept. Track conditions far too variable, it would make the whole thing artificial.

I wasn't watching F1 back in the mid 00's so I am unfamiliar with the concept. I'm assuming that all the cars could still be on the circuit at the same time? If it was a shootout format then its obviously not fair due to changing track condition... It certainly does sound like a good concept to me a...

Everyone reacts differently but if it were me having my future discussed in public by my manager week in and week out wouldn't help the situation, it would probably make me perform worse. My thoughts exactly, having your future discussed publicly all the must become exhausting. It certainly wouldn'...

Within the given specifications that everybody would have to be bound by, whatever those already be, there is the room for coming up with the better performance tyre than the concurrents. That would be all what counts: be better. The risk remains the same regardless what, and that is the risk of lo...

Regarding your first point, my position is not that the absence of competition is the underlying cause for the tyre issues, but that they facilitate it. As I've said, it's perfectly possible for a single supplier to supply technical tyres (to use Michelin's term). But I don't think it's possible fo...

Just sat down to watch Practice 1! Love the european races in this time slot for viewing in Aus.

Lets hope we see the Ferrari having made some genuine gains on the Mercedes!

Colesy, Fernando has stated before (two years ago?, maybe more) that he thought Lewis was the best (aside from himself I guess) driver in F1. So this isn't the first time he's made that comment. My comment about the Hulk was that he didn't include Seb. I'm not sure if that's because of last year's ...

I can perhaps see a swap between Raikkonen and Bottas ? McLaren, Lotus, Toro Rosso, Red Bull, Mercedes, Force India all to stay the same. Haas - pay driver and an american driver. Manor - 2 new drivers Sauber - Nasr kept, Ericsson replaced It would be interesting to see Massa and Kimi duel it out a...

He has to put Hamilton in - Lewis matched him in his rookie season, so underrating Hamilton would in effect underrate him as well. It's the same reason Lewis is always so positive about him in return; to a certain degree, their reputations are tied together, and they both benefit from talking the o...

Indeed. Potential politics/mind games aside that's a big complement for Hulkenberg. Given that he put Hamilton in there despite their history hints that they may have been genuine comments in my opinion.

Having three current F1 world champions in the event would certainly spice things up a bit and make me more inclined to go out of my way to watch it! Team Australia need a new participant this year to replace Mick Doohan, as much as a legend and terrific ambassador I think he is, surely its time to...

I would personally welcome a Hamilton/Alonso reunion as that same kid who took on the 2-time defending champion is now even better, more well rounded and stronger and I don't think anyone can rattle Lewis to break his concentration, not even Alonso and his political games. I also think Lewis would ...

Want an annoyance? Last Saturday I was in London for the 60mile ride at night. I drove there my girlefriend's car, locked it, went to the start line and found out that the car key was gone. The ONLY car key. With my wallet locked inside the glove compartment (luckily I had one of my cards with me)....

Given the last few posts here, would it be fair to say that the general consensus is that Ferrari did indeed improve their engine output enough to improve their lap times through straight line speed in Canada, but were possibly unable show the full potential as they were chewing too much fuel?

Tough poll! In a high performance car such as an F1/LMP1 car I am leaning towards Hulkenberg... But I think Montoya would do better in a NASCAR/Touring Car race.

I respect the point you are trying to make but I think its unfair to say that his personality/attitude has changed. Whilst I agree that his natural ability/pure speed has gone off slightly and others may be more deserving of a top seat, as a character I dont think he has changed in his 14 years in F1.

Why were stands packed then? I'd hazard a guess and say tickets weren't out of the price range of a normal working person and were held in countries with a motorsport heritage. I wasn't around then, so not based on experience, I just can't believe the price it costs to attend a race in person. I ag...

I think I started a thread about this a little while ago. Fans should absolutely not have a say. What happens? The FIA publishes a survey. Example question: do you want more overtaking in F1? 1. There's no opportunity to answer 'yes... but not if it means X, Y or Z', so the results lack crucial det...

Vandoorne at McLaren is my main wish.

Way to ruin the team spirit.

The amount of debate regarding who does and doesn't deserve a drive at the "top" teams next year got me wondering about what my ideal driver line-ups would be for Mercedes, Ferrari, Williams and Red Bull/McLaren(or whatever team is in the top four most competitive teams consistently).

It will be interesting to see what strategy Ferrari run for Kimi now that he is no doubt their best chance. Will they attempt to undercut to gain position like Vettel usually does, or will he run softs in the middle stint then come home on the super softs and try to have an advantage at the end like...
