Be interesting to see if Kimi wants to let Vettel through given they've just given his seat away...

ALESI

He'll get a slap on the wrist. Stewards won't want to ruin the championship fight. Whether it affects the championship or not should be irrelevant, I feel this at the end of a season when people go on about others not racing those fighting for the championship - how they race them should be the sam...

Planet F1 reporting Hamilton has signed a two year extension at £40m a year. Can someone explain to me why Merc would pay that sort of money when Alonso would drive the Merc for peanuts?

Planet F1 reporting Hamilton has signed a two year extension at £40m a year.

I thought the French Grand Prix was pretty decent to be honest. A mistake by one of the title contenders led to first lap chaos and subsequent charge through the field, while there was plenty of mid-pack action, even without the artificial DRS zones. Yet reading through this forum and twitter I see...

I sit corrected, weird decision then Just a clever way to look like you're giving a very harsh penalty without actually doing anything. This is frequently stated, and I disagree with it every time. Taking away Schumacher's lifetime legacy - his points and wins - was not the point of the penalty, an...

You have to wonder what the point is of paying a driver mega money for the last tenth he brings, when he's driving three seconds off the true pace of the car to preserve the engine? I agree that the FIA should stipulate the rules and take a take it or leave it stance, but aren't the FIA the ones res...

The difference in salaries between the drivers does not in any meaningful or accurate way reflect the actual difference in talent or hard work. If driver A receives 20 million dollars per year and driver B receives 5 million dollars per year, it is really hard to argue this is justified because dri...

Driver adopts Darth Vader voice - "I have you now!"

But that aside the whole premise of thinking about F1 in the shower is disturbing.

He was going to back out anyway, he didn't want to start the race on the Hypersoft... big fuss about nothing.

The drivers would probably have to have their PR advisor sitting next to them to make sure they kept to the script... just one of F1s many problems.

Alonso is 22nd on the list, and here we have the problem with lists...

ALESI

Isn't part of the problem that the cars could run at a decent speed around the rest of the lap and only need to slow down for where the problem actually is, that way they could keep their tyre temps up - but the Safety Car needs to be capable of racing speeds to allow this to happen.

ALESI

How to make F1 more exciting should be the question. It's not like if Monaco was the only borefest of the season... At least it allows great filming, which the 19 other dull races of the season rarely do (except Spa and Singapour, mainly because of the night). There was a time when you could see ra...

I wonder how many times we'll see those super wide front wings being ran over and shattering into a million pieces?

ALESI

Might I suggest not taking the Hypersoft to Monaco next year? What's the point of having a tyre like that if no one's going to use it properly?

ALESI

I'm a hardened Hamilton fan boy, but even I had to applaud Vettel's drive at the Bahrain GP - it was exceptional race management. But make no mistake Mercedes could have won that race in 2 or 3 different ways. Last year (behind closed doors) I think Mercedes made the decision to throw their weight ...

ALESI

Wow, I'm impressed, read the whole thread and there was (almost) no-one claiming Bottas should have moved over for Hamilton to maximise his WDC points.

So much for the Merc party mode eh, or is Bottas not allowed to use it?

ALESI

What difference is a race on Saturday actually going to make? Is there any reason to believe it will change anything at all? If they are going to qualify for that then we'll have the usual cars in the usual positions, which will then drive around in a train for ten laps and then pull in. The only wa...

This forum don't change much... Lamo posts a perfectly reasoned post and even specifically says 'today's race wasn't fixed' but others can't help but jump on his anti Ferrari bias.

Hilarious, Autosport is too in depth? Well, gee, look no further than Planet F1 for three line non stories!

I hope they stick with a similar livery to last year. That one looked stunning... Hmm, I wouldn't worry. Last year (or was it the year before) CH made all these noises about a radical makeover... and they produced another purpley-blue car with red and yellow bits on it... But then, what did we expe...

Now that Liberty have dealt with the grid girl issue, will they move on to countries hosting GPs with horrendous human rights records?

If, as people suggest, the general level of female competitiveness is so low, then a women's only series is a terrible idea. The best way to improve is to compete with people better than yourself and 'up your game' to beat them. A women's series would likely produce one dominant woman who would then...
