I voted three to four years. I'm not a Mclaren fan, or a Honda fan. But I think it would be crazy to go through all of this pain and reputation damage, and not give them a chance under the new engine regs. They've had to play catch up since they started. Give them a chance to see what they can do wi...

With the Virtual Safety Car, I don't get the point of a driverless one. Hell, I don't get the point of a safety car full stop. Just move over to the VSC. Have someone sponsor the VSC, and plaster their logos on the screen while they're rolling around the track. Brundle could even say things like "Vi...

Daniel Ricciardo should get a mention here. Many of his 2014 performances came about because he displayed an excellent ability to save his tyres for a late race assault (to great effect). This year at Monaco he did much the same thing, looking after his tyres until Verstappen & Raikkonen pitted the...

I have worked in customer care so I know 6s and 7s don't count. You are only rated by your 9&10s and your lower-than-6's. So it is either a 10 or a 0. I chose zero.

So.. interesting to hear people's reaction to Austria. I feel Max had the capacity to out qualify Dan judging off the practice runs and Q1/Q2. Q3 it seems as if Max was over driving the car, did Dans older wiser head prevail on this occasion to keep the car within the limits of grip? I think Dan ge...

I don't get this logic.. it's like saying Foreman was out-performing Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle, or the Hare was out-performing the Tortoise.

A 6'4", 90kg man.... of terrific talent.... probably wouldn't make it in F1. To be winning in the top levels of Karts, you need to be of slight build, so it makes the path to F1 harder for anyone bigger than average. Add on the fact you need significant backing and a family that drive you to motors...

This is a hard one, there are too many factors to consider. I think about driver like Shane Van Gisbergen, who is strong in every category he races in. In an interview they asked him why he didn't follow the path to F1, because his Engineer said he had the skill set. He said at 1.88m and 99kg he alw...

There's not enough information yet for me to know how I feel about this. If it is actually David Brabham essentially resurrecting the team, and he is going to have a large amount of involvement in it, I don't see anything wrong with him reviving his father's team name or even claiming their history...

Just out of interest, we see manufacturers come and go all the time so why can't private names come and go?. Do they really have to be the exact same original owner,factory,mechanics etc.?

As for your reason as to why you think the biology argument is redundant, I just don't know what to say. I'm staggered that in 2017 you'd think that is actually the way biology & evolution works.

It's funny to me reading posts from guys saying whether or not we need women in Motorsport, and what women like to see.

Please tell us exactly why women don't have the same opportunity as men to get into F1? What rule or regulation is preventing a girl from setting her sights on F1? Yes the sport may be run by men but why is that automatically a bad thing? Also, the people who actually hire the drivers, that is the ...

Instead of segregating women, why don't we increase the teams to 3 cars each, and make the 3rd seat a mandatory women's seat? After 10 seasons, open the 3rd seat to both genders. This will give F1 10 years to: Normalise women in the main game Promote women in F1 Develop more female drivers to be pro...

TBH, and off topic sorry, I would like to see some facility that would allow a guest driver from the country holding the race, (as long as they hit they 107%) and it would make a difference to the back markers.

I am strongly, strongly opposed to any scenario where the results of one race determine the starting grid for the second race. It's one aspect I hate of GP2/GP3 as it means you can get taken out in race one and you're then screwed for race two through no fault of your own. Saying that, I'm not agai...

Can't answer that one. I'm a Zanardi/CART fanboi so my interest faded once he left the side.

I did enjoy seeing JPM beat Ralf though after the way he treated Alex.

Based on interviews at the time. I remember BMW asking to have him fired because he kept basing his results on having inferior parts compared to Ralf, and BMW felt that wouldn't be a good look if he kept blaming the parts So did he have inferior parts or not? Surely if that was the concern and he w...

There are levels and levels... Put those other CART drivers and F1 and they much likely would've done worse than Zanardi. F1 is where the best in the world are, and where good drivers from other series can join and get exposed. Sebastien Bourdais is another example like Zanardi. And like Zanardi, w...

People, the solution is simple. I can it the "Brad System".

Everyone draws their starting position from a hat. Once drawn, they have 1 chance to trade with another driver if they wish. After 10 minutes of trade and dealing, the starting positions are revealed.

Doesnt make sense to me. How would Red Bull want to be a Merc B team?? And first of all, I thought only 4 Mercedes powered teams were allowed?

That said, if Lotus haven't signed an engine deal, and the mounts now allow for any engine to basically be plugged in, what if they skipped Jerez to see who has the best engine, then that allows them to subsequently sign for them before the Bahrain test?
