Any idea when the deal ends?

Sutton

As far as I am concerned, the only circuits that should host the opening and closing rounds are Australia and Brazil. In fact, I dont care what order. 22 Races is the maximum imo. I would prefer a shorter close season. 4 months is far too long. Other sports get away with it, but in F1 NOTHING at al...

Even when you go back to the early 90s, Mansell chasing down Senna. Yeah thats all very well and good but there was no chance he was overtaking him.

Sutton

Time to axe this shambolic race.
Hand out the points after qualifying, leave the sunday for more posing and drinking on yachts.

Sutton

Early days for Stroll, but for me neither him or Palmer are good enough for F1.

Sutton

What he is doing is well within the rules, and up to him.
But for me, the drinks bottle should be mandatory. Not only that, it should be kept cool. Somehow.

Sutton

I wouldn't call them a complete failure, but so far they have mostly failed to achieve what they set out to achieve (2 or 3 second faster laps) while delivering the negative aspects as predicted (less overtaking). So not exactly a success either. As others have already said, the fact that Ferrari a...

This season has been very good. Its the track. 4 races at the circuit, every single one a complete borefest. It needs binned, immediately. Unfortunately it's on the calendar until 2025 x( Another 8 seasons of awkward converstations with Putin for the drivers :( Perhaps that's why Hamilton had a 'ba...

Well..... This is shaping up to be the most boring F1 season the last couple of years. Bottas can't touch Hamilton and RBR is nowhere near Merc. Ferrari, what to say about them. I really hope they are sandbagging but I am afraid they were running on fumes in testing... I cannot stomach another seas...

Not much faith in the Ferrari PU there.

Ask me again in 1 week

I'd take that thank you very much.

(I know Mercedes have made a step but it's all relative)

But the cars are 4 seconds a lap quicker now?!

I am delighted they have done something different at last with the livery. The chrome/silver/grey thing was boring as hell.

Red Ferrari
Yellow Renault
Orange McLaren
Blue Sauber...

Need Toro Rosso to come out with a green car...(do red bull do green tea?)

They have one to test apparently. So probably just launch without because it looks nicer!

We will need to wait and see next week then!!

Ferrari winglet on their fin is interesting

Sutton

Sutton

I am not against them changing the format. Its been the same for decades it seems. Qualifying as a format is as good as it gets. Sure its been dull the last few seasons and extremely predictable but with luck that will change next season. 3 practice sessions is far too much. I would welcome a 'sprin...

Sutton

Did they use the monsoon tyres in Suzuka 1994?

Sutton

was there 3 different types of wet tyre when Goodyear were the sole tyre suppliers in the 90s?
Or did I just imagine it?

Inters, Wet, 'monsoon'.

Alot has been made of the current wet tyres, but cars always aquaplaned.

Sutton

3 or more teams capable for race wins and titles would be a nice change after Red Bull domination immediately followed by Merc domination.

Sutton

Never going to happen, but I would like Australia having 2 races bookending the season - Melbourne in mid march to start us off, Adelaide to finish the season mid november.

Sutton

He can sit back and take his pick from any UK based team bar Mercedes.

Agree.
Can't say i have ever even considered being interested to see it. Leave them to it.

4: Williams
5: Force India
6: McLaren

At the moment, Williams seem to be slipping down the grid again after a great 2014 (by their recent standards).
McLaren and Force India have better drivers.
Car wise, not much in it.

Sutton

its been a long time, but never seen the point of the sunday morning warm up.

smash up your car potentially giving more work for your mechanics.

Sutton

Should add that the manufacturers have to supply one private team only with an engine.

A 'draw' to take place to determine what private team gets what engine.

Williams - Toyota,
McLaren - Ferrari
Force India - Renault

for example

Sutton

Teams: 8 Manufacturers, 8 Private. Manufacturers: Ferrari Mercedes BMW Honda Audi Ford Renault Toyota Private: Williams McLaren Red Bull Toro Rosso Haas Manor Force India Sauber Friday: Free Practice 1 & 2 Sat Morning: Pre Qualifying. (bottom 12 cars from last race enter) Top 6 go to qualifying. Bot...

Sutton

I reckon about 4 (1 or which is VSC) and a red flag (that will ultimately end the race a few laps early)

Sutton

Kerbs cutting tyres? You would have thought this sort of thing would have been checked more than once months or weeks prior to this weekend.

Sutton

Walls? on a street circuit? whatever next?

Although there are some areas of it that look incredibly narrow. Around the castle for example.
Will be interesting.

And as for Pirelli, if the tyres cannot handle the long straights, thats their problem and their failure.

Sutton

Ferrari have been after Newey for years. He is just not interested.

Sutton

very well researched stats. very interesting stuff.

Sutton

The F1 Show at first was superb. Then they decided to have an audience. Why? It killed it stone dead. Sky tried that with the football on a saturday night as well. It just doesn't work. Completely unneccessary.

Sutton

...the race coverage is superb, but with each passing season the other content gets less and less...

I cannot think of a new program so far this season, last season was hardly any. And they seemed to have scrapped the F1 show altogether bizarre.

Sutton

What?
Not chrome/silver/black/grey?

Surely against the rules??!!

Sutton

In seasons 2008 and 2009, every single team either won a race or a pole position (except Williams) Very competitive seasons, then in 2010 they added the 3 new teams who were all beyond rubbish.
