Re: Is F1 Run By Complete Idiots?
At the end of the day, the fate of F1 is still very much in the hands of the fans. If we stopped watching tomorrow, all the major sponsors (Rolex, DHL, UBS, Allianz, Emirates) would pull out and F1 would go bankrupt. Then they would be forced to fix this mess. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup...

Re: Dennis: McLaren should have reverted to 2012 car in 2013
I always felt the main reason they did not go back to the 2012 car was because of Jenson Button. The mp4-27 just didn't really suit Button. In fact he's called it his worst Mclaren, if I remember properly. I think had Lewis still been there we would have seen the return of the old car. Would be int...
