Re: kimi on top gear
I enjoy the fact that because he didn't beat Hamilton, Lewis cut the corner to gain an advantage, as well as there being supposed worn parts on the car. People shouldn't get worked up/disappointed about Top Gear Test Track times. Barrichello has the record, for crying out loud!

Re: Bernie has said he wants 25 races?
18-20 races is optimal. I don't want too many races, because there is risk of getting bored. Like after the race start and just before the first pitstops? F1 is more boring in some races than watching a film 3 times, I often go and make the dinner after the start and then sit down whilst it cooks t...

Re: Swiss move on tax rise for rich foreigners
Lewis Hamilton has revealed that Monaco will be his new place of residence for the 2012 season, with the McLaren driver explaining that the time he spent in Switzerland was 'a bit boring'.
Sheer coincidence, i'm sure.

There is little point to sandbagging, really. If the team was a second faster than the rest of the field, I think we might have seem glimpses of it in the last three tests.

Re: Fifty Years of the Beatles poll
Unfortunately, it doesn't count Magical Mystery Tour as an album
Problem with The Beatles is that they had a lot of fantastic songs, but not many of them on the same album.

Re: Bernie suggests bringing back customer cars for new team
Don't have a whole lot against customer cars, but perhaps limit it to only the car and no aid during the season. In 2011, it'd have been a Red Bull-Toro Rosso borefest.

Re: Which Team line-up is the most efficient & exciting?
Toro Rosso, for me. The two were partnered briefly at the end of 2010 in 3.5, but had completely different class of machinery the following year. They're both super quick and super determined. Both of them have very different personalities, as well. Ricciardo is open and friendly, whereas Vergne see...

When commenting about the current grid, can we really include Schumacher as one of the best in the sport? Perhaps he was once, but he's been beaten by Rosberg two years in a row now.

It's largely just something people like to use against him, because some will agree for the sake of agreeing. McLaren didn't just put him in the car because he was British, they put him in the car because they believed he had proved he could perform at a high level. It was a huge risk placing a rook...
