Re: Vettel's Accident vs Hulkenburgs

this guy has issues. In his own head he\s still convinced Senna is totally at fault. How can you blame him if neutral spectators aren't even agreeing about it?

Re: this is NOT over yet. ferrari put in a protest.

actually they were yellow flags. But my guess it was just a software glitch or something, because generally yellows flash and this time they were just staying on. From what I've seen at least.

Red and yellow flags is nonsense, they are actual flags only, not digital panels.

Re: Kobayashi out Gutierrez in

Good news. Kobayashi could perform, but he wasn't spectacular enough for Sauber. The team needs a driver that can every now and then bring in a surprise podium - not points. Consistency at their level brings few rewards. Kobayashi started off his career reasonably well - but he hasn't improved. He'...

Almoust any driver in a mid to low field team outperforms the car. Driver rotation, budgets, sponsorhip, or even spur of the moment leaves midfield drivers without a seat for the following year.

Re: Kobayashi out , Gutierrez in at Sauber for 2013 ?

Koby looked really good in the final two races of 2009 and then just vanished to nowhere apart from that race in Suzuka. Him and Perez are about the same really, just two over rated mediocre drivers. Koba hasn't set the world alight and extremely overrated by many here. Guti should be a good choice...

''As the commentary said, he should have been looking to position his car right to make the turn, and he went left.

At the end of day, during his entire career, Koba was cleaner in close combat than Lewis or Massa during the last half of the 2011 season. Today, the only mistake he did is be braked late, so did button and rosberg, but still I think Rosberg moved in the braking zone. There is something in some peop...

Re: Kobayashi in need of a sponsor to stay in F1

I read before that the F1 paddock hasn't put Kamui on the big team radar because of his lack of consistency. As far as i remember only two DNFs were his fault this season, so that seems a bit unfair, especially with the likes of Grosjean and Maldonado around. Plus today's contacts weren't entirely ...

Sauber are using every bit of public attention they can get their hands on. Of course they will announce the drivers later, the more attention the bigger the chance someone will come in as a sponsor.

The difference is simple I think. Pat Symonds knows it the best. If you go on a totally different strategy than the rest it might work out from time to time. And Sauber always split strategies. When it worked and also the car ran well, he got podiums. Malaysia was a bit different, but on the other o...
