could you imagine a race were the following were taken out in the first corner Vettel, Webber, Hamilton, Button, Alonso, Massa, Raikonnen, Grosjean, Rosberg and Schumacher. I think i'd turn off after that. Also the tactic for the pole position is simply sweep across the track, force the 2nd place ma...

stevey

This is a really interesting change for next season and will possibly change the tactics some teams choose to run in the races. One team this would benefit in the current season is Ferrari as the current car as according to Gary Anderson their problem in qualifying is that air is taking to long to r...

stevey

What if Vettel doesn't finish? I read Button's thoughts on turn 1, seems quite a spot for someone like Perez, Maldonado or Grosjean to get excited and contentious and take a few cars out. If they qualify close to top 5, either Alonso or Vettel could get caught up in first lap incidents. Vettel is 1...

stevey

Yeah the race down to T1 is long, the front runners will have gotten away by then, and its up to the middle and rear packs to take it carefully - but i still expect a SC after the first lap.

stevey

Only gonna do a few teams, Mine would have to be this Ferrari Alonso and Vettel - this team pairing has to happen Red Bull Raikonnen and Hamilton - would be an epic battle and no mind games as there both pretty straight shooters McLaren Button and Rosberg Lotus Webber and Schumacher Mercedes Hulkenb...

Not a webber bombing photo, but a hilarious Webber Pose from the man himself

Button yes - only gonna be 1 or 2 more seasons though before retirement beckons or he is moved on

Massa - No, not by a long shot.

Webber - No, I think he has maximised his potential at a championship and any of the other young drivers could bring in the same points for the wcc.

stevey

Its Diresta, I saw him at silverstone having a few. Wasn't chaining it though!!

stevey

I think this year Hamilton has taken a giant leap in performance, I dont really have a take on Rosberg other than he is competent.

The first testing phase next year will give a much clearer picture, cant wait!!!!!!

stevey

I think there beginning to head in the right direction, they were just to slow on the uptake.

stevey

The winner is the winner end of story. I may not like it but it cant be much clearer than that.

stevey

My only opinion of this event was this If the rule was not clear, and then needed clairification it is not the same rule going back in place and should not yield a punishment until the new clarified rule is used at the next race. If you compare it to the clarification of the aero rules for Red Bull ...

stevey

I'll over £10.50, as long as i get to drive

stevey

I thought it was going to be an actual article, but its basically 1 statement from Jacque and the rest from Rosberg saying how he owned schumacher for 3 years.

Schumacher, Hamilton would be interesting to watch for a few races. Not for a season.

stevey

I think its probably worth starting a new thread based on points lost for the top 10 drivers at least, but we'd need to agree some ground rules on what is accepted as lost point situation, say for example poor Quali - should not be counted Quali Punishments - should be counted but only if not a dire...

All this says to me is Whitmarsh regrets it big time, maybe he's realised that his position is in jeopardy based on next years results and this is how he lets his frustration go.

2013 will be make or break for Whitmarsh

stevey

I salute that sentiment

would love more published on their fitness regimes and diets

stevey

a great explanation, now will be interesting to see what happens as this is not copyable this season by any of the other teams. I always wondered why redbull had the 2 raised sections on either side coming above and over the slot gap. This must be to provide additional strength from above for the f...

stevey

Hamilton will definitely want to win the next 2 races to go out on a high, come on guys this is the sharp end of racing. Each one of any driver that could win would climb over the other guys chassis to do so!!! - with the exception of Webber who will be pitted or told to move out of the way

stevey

All of the following have had amazing drives this year, I just wish the RBR wasn't so good in Vettels hands to make the climax that much more exciting

Alonso
Hamilton
Raikkonnen
Vettel

stevey

LOL there it is, the Jynx that ends his run

stevey

The teams use this time of more of a testing time for the car than they do for testing new driver talent.

stevey

I personally feel the drivers tend to have more personality than the teams, i feel it is the drivers that draw fans to the sport and then to the team.

So id say from a fan base its much more significant than the WCC, but the WCC brings in the money

stevey

Ahh I now realise what the answer is to this riddle! That mechanic is just very very strong and is able to bend carbon fibre which is supposed to take several tons of impact... He probably was fed Red Bull before the event and instead of getting wings, he can now manipulate wings. Joking aside - if...

stevey

I think these days the teams tend to design the car that will give them the greatest percentage of a chance of victory in the lab, excluding driver preference. It is then up to the driver to adapt his style to fully extract the capability of the car. If you think about it, designing a car to the str...

stevey

Yeah it isnt a moveable device, it meerly flexes.

stevey

When Ron asks him too is my bet

stevey

I still believe this is more to do with the restrictions on the double diffuser and the rear stability it brought.

stevey

I hope it goes to the last race

Kimi always looks half cut to me lol!! Just watched the BBC video, you can really see how close the people in the team are, they lost together and won together. It may of had its ups and downs and the odd controversy but it had great emotion and thats what solid relationships are made of. I feel Lew...

stevey

When the whole thing about the flexi wing popped up years ago, it was never the wind that did the majority of flexing it always seemed to come from the Nose. It looks like they've just expanded upon this and tightened the wing to match the new load tests. I cant believe any other team hasn't spotted...

stevey

This is pretty dodgy for jenson to say considering the years past he mentiomed they had better blown diffusers than currently permitted and will ever again. Also no more off the throttle blowing. This is spelling for a very bad time for Jenson in the future possibly more so 2014 as the cars will bec...

stevey

Webber compromised his own race today, His bad start led im into all that trouble.

stevey

Not that I believe it but you can also ask the alternate question Is Hamilton sabotaging Mclaren? After all he is driving the car and by pressing the wrong buttons/switches he can easily cause a mechanical issue. That would explain more why he has more problems than Button. Yeah, i dont know why th...

stevey

They've saved 10M with salary for perez lol

anyway no conspiracy, just bad team performance

stevey

It was funny, made me laugh after being so miserable at the Hamilton retirement!

stevey

the difference being one drives for Mclaren the other for Red Bull

These guys are human, both capable of good and bad behavior and both have good and bad moments. Hamilton and Vettel are still growing personality wise, I think the Hamilton Mercedes move will be the making of him.

stevey

Nicolas prost!!!!!!!! I dont know if hes any good but I hope he is. Now that would be ace

stevey

Why did we not get any interviews with Ron Dennis, he was there and I find him much more informative than whitmarsh.

and yes Mclaren are a joke, what is it now? the last 5 races, 4 have suffered mechanical failures. (I may be wrong on the numbers but im pretty sure there close)
