You see soccer, tennis, snooker etc. players repeatedly performing the same exact move trying to refine and hone it to perfection at the most basic level. I don't think racing drivers do the equivalent (something like attacking the same corner repeatedly and measuring minute differences) because it...

I saw the original Star Wars film in 1977, and a few years later, I fell asleep during the second film. Clearly, the Force (to stay awake) wasn't with me... :D By contrast, I saw 2001 at least 10 times in the cinema, including travelling to London especially to do just that... I'm surprised that 20...

For 2016 I think the most likely option is the losing driver will be smart enough to stop implying it's the team that cost him the win. That's all Tonto's really worried about and there's no reason why it should persist now he's had his say. If Rosberg is beaten again then I think he has to leave th...

I'd like to agree with Asphalt, bit the fact that the republican party seem to think that he is a viable candidate for presidency makes me worry a bit. It almost feels like a joke that he has a genuine chance of being in the White House, thank whatever god you want that the president doesn't actual...

Simulators are really for testing setup and analysing developments, I'm not sure they help the drivers much beyond that (and perhaps learning new tracks of course). You often hear of test drivers who've taken a season out of racing complain of wanting to get back to it. But they seem to be talking a...

I'm hoping it's BMW. ...RBR's conduct has at the very least compromised preparations for 2016, unsettled partners, damaged their image, harmed their standing within F1 and added many millions to the cost of their engines. You sure about that pal? Tag Heuer to leave McLaren for Red Bull :smug: I don...

So after all that they've probably ended up worse off than before? Assuming Lotus become the Renault works team. They've only themselves to blame I'm afraid. Redbull would end up better, if Renault after spending 11 tokens go backwards, I fail to see what the blame on Redbull is for? Depending on w...

I’m not a cinema person but definitely looking forward to this one (on the pretence of taking my nephew of course). My mum took me to the ‘first’ star wars film when I was just a nipper and it was the most amazing thing! I’ve been hooked on sci-fi ever since, but star wars always makes me a bit sad...

No legal reason not to, the crash tests hadn't changed and obviously the previous year's car had passed them. Would it really have still been competitive though?

Firstly, that comment by Cameron is misguided at best, downright insulting at worst. People should have the right to say what they want, and not be slandered. I don't agree that airstrikes are going to help here, so I think this is misguided by our MP's. But what I say next will probably be an unpo...

Remember McLaren? They were good.

I'm a little surprised at the focus of this conversation. Talking about what Cameronbot called no voters or whether labour MPs who voted 'yes' have been naughty seems like navel gazing. What Cameron said simply illustrates for the 100th time he's a $"%&, and of course labour voters can vote whicheve...

Saz, I think the most important word in your post is 'proper'. If any other country wants to get involved in trying to remove people or organisations like ISIS, then you are right that proper military action is needed. Airstirkes, drones missiles etc are not how to do it. The government took pit fo...

There are a few things to remember before, understandably, questioning Bernie's judgement. First of all many of the stupid ideas he puts forward are designed to act as leverage in one power struggle or another. Just because he pushes for something doesn't mean he wants it. Don't assume anyone else ...

I just don't know what to say. I read a lot of autobiographies by people from all walks of life but I've never come across someone so delusional, conceited and narcissistic.

I get the sense Tonto is fed up with the way both drivers react to losing. They complain, sometimes make barbed comments aimed at the team and generally provide a negative element to what should be a positive occasion (a one-two). In a normal race team that would be bad enough but as part of a corp...

Saz and Mac D, though I'm obviously not in agreement with much of what you say I completely respect the fact you've thought about these films critically and come away with things you like and don't like.

First they announce sponsorship extensions that tie them to F1 for next year ta least, immediately afterwards Mateschitz reiterates the possibly of them leaving, immediately after that Horner confirms they now have an engine deal for next year.

I can understand those saying the punishment is too lenient. But if you let kids race these cars you have to accept a degree of childish/hormonal/irresponsible behaviour is inevitable. A 2 year ban is pretty heavy duty, it puts his whole career in the balance. Any more and it would almost certainly ...

It looks like he was/is a genuine prospect. This was his first season in cars and he won several races. It looks like he was disqualified from a few races earlier in the season too.

Haven't seen any figures for the crowd but the stadium looked pretty sparsely populated - particularly on Friday.

Looking forward to Mercedes Stars and Cars on the 12th Dec. Its going to follow a similar format to ROC plus some one-off guest runs. Wolff v Lauda, Rosberg v Hamilton and Coultard v Hakkinnen for example. Coultard and Mika will be racing in these 8O http://www.benzinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/20...

Very excited! But I stayed out of spoilers. I just want to know one thing who is the villain's name? I think a lot of the villains and how they relate to each other is still unknown. Some dude called Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) is being flagged as the main 'Vader-like' villain for this movie. But then t...

My inner geek has been reawakened, am I the only one? Got my tickets for The Science Museum Imax, one of the few places showing it in 2D (and on 70mm!).

Yeah I've been reading up on the guy. It isn't even his first season in GP3. Last year he came 21st, last but one of those drivers who completed a whole season, and behind several who only did a few races. He's had 4 top 10 finishes in two seasons of GP3. He's never won a race in any sort of proper ...

I'd be interested to know what the others get. Jonathan Neale talked about the 'telephone number' salary with which Merc lured Paddy Lowe. I'd guess he's on 1 or 2 million...? Allison could be similar. But I find it hard to believe any of the others are on seven figures. I remember back in the day M...

Magnussen didn't get the chance he deserved, given he was rushed into F1 early. How was he? He was young, but not exceptionally so. He had decent single seater experience. He spent two seasons in one of the main feeder series and won it. Magnussen wasn't rushed, he was ready to enter F1. But he did...

Magnussen didn't get the chance he deserved, given he was rushed into F1 early. Vergne didn't get the respect he deserved, given how close he was to 'next-big-thing' Ricciardo.

I'd rather have a fully drunk Lewis Hamilton on the roads than an average Suburban mum in a 4x4. It's a shame he had to use such wishy washy language though: ' mistakes happen to us all '. What does that even mean? You accept responsibility by saying 'I made the mistake' , not by saying the mistake...
