All that is mentioned in terms of the cars not being driven at their limits are the tyres. It's a bit of a stretch to conclude that, because the drivers have to be ultra-cautious over the tyres, the cars themselves are the worst in F1 history. The entire article was not translated into English. I d...

Fernando Alonso was interviewed by an Italian racing magazine with tidbits now appearing translated into English. He is clearly very unhappy with Formula One now, an opinion that he has expressed before but now is considering leaving F1 for either Lemans or for Indy Cars. The idea of an Alonso still...

"Longbow Finance" doesn't scream "we're serious about racing" to me. But if it keeps the team afloat until a wealthy petrolhead comes along to buy it then great.

Sorry but I disagree. Monisha is one of the biggest reasons Sauber is still around. She has been working diligently since before most people ever heard of her and was for many years Peter's right hand. She is a very intelligent person and it is because of her this deal was reached, which on paper h...

Absolutely. It's amazing that she's being kept on. I have to believe that there is a search underway to replace her ineffective and disastrous "leadership".

I suggest you put a reasonable price on your products otherwise you could have the same faith as apple - lose market share. You have to be the ONLY person who values market share over profits. The only person. 99 out of 100 people would choose to have 92% of the profits of an ENTIRE industry over 9...

No, I diminish your points because they are factually incorrect. You have no points because the data doesnt support them. You have no understanding of business whatsoever. None. Zero. Zip.

Sorry if my reply took a few days but some of us are workaholics and have deadlines to meet, but finding those machines took all of 5 seconds.

No I am not. I am correcting your brazen inaccuracies. NOTHING you have stated is even true. You cannot have a discussion if you do not understand the basic facts. You are talking about fantasies in your own mind, not facts. Apple has done nothing wrong, so they dont need my defense. Absolute nonse...

HS Thompson

You dont even understand what you are talking about. You said, "apple sells less and less smart phones ever year". That is demonstrably false. Any cursory examination of the facts proves that you are wrong. Marketshare is not and never has been an Apple goal. PROFITS are their goal. You *do* know t...

HS Thompson, I dont know how you can point out Apple's profit like it is a good thing... If anything that only proves that apple's products are overpriced. Me as a consumer I dont like that the companies make so much profit. This would only be good for apple shareholders, and not us the cosumers. A...

No sport shoots itself in the foot as much as Formula One does. It's amazing F1 has any feet left!

Comparing drivers from different eras is fraught with difficulty, but this is beyond ridiculous. Would Mansell cope with the modern cars? Maybe not, would Hamilton cope with the old cars, probably... but then how many times do we hear modern F1 drivers who have a go in an old car and say how fright...

HS Thompson

Actually drivers are being "tested" every single lap they do. Just because they dont push to the cars limit to save tires doesnt mean they aren't. To go the fastest possible while saving tires is also extremely complicated and only the best drivers in the world can do it Hard to think of anything m...

Have you used/owned an Apple computer? Why I like them is the operating system just works so you just do what you use a computer for. A PC with windows also works.

This is a common fallacy. It wasn't because of the tyres. It was because the cars were extremely aero-sensitive which made following the car in front very tricky. Instead of tackling the problem they decided to do a workaround by introducing comedy tyres which meant cars had a large performance dif...

It would be nice if F1 caught up with this century before it kills itself off from lack of exposure to the next generation. Kids these days live on their phones and on the internet, and F1 currently shuts itself away from promoting itself and putting itself infront of those audiences. Apple might a...

HS Thompson

But frankly none of this matters here or is of any relevance with F1. It is Apple's anti consumer practices which sadly their own customers fail to understand and end up thinking its good for them is the reason I do not want them anywhere near F1. I know they will try to do the same with F1 and how...

I hope not. I despise Apple's vision for content distribution, and I can't imagine I'd like anything they might want to do with F1. On the plus side, maybe they'd be smart enough to make old races available for download... at some silly cost each, and DRM-locked to 3 computers or some crap! x( More...

So I would need iDevice to watch F1? Sorry, but I will never buy such. Yeah, buying a $99 Apple TV is such a hardship. It would cost me $80/month to get F1 into my house.

Also I couldn't disagree more with your speculation about how Michael would have stacked up against Senna. I watched both men race in their prime and, for me, Senna has the edge.
