Pirelli are auctioning the HRT they bought for promo events sometime soon. It'd be quite amusing if that actually sold for less.

Reading through this thread has made me realise I very rarely actually have much of a reaction once a race ends. I just keep watching, maybe jump on Twitter or post on here, which I'm usually doing during the race anyway. If one of my favourite drivers has scored a good result then sure, I'll be hap...

...I was missing something, then! Well that actually sounds pretty amazing. Are there any videos of people doing this on YouTube (I'd look myself but quite frankly, I've no idea what I'd even enter in the search field)?

If I were a team boss and could sign either, I'd take Seb. Don't get me wrong, over a single lap I rate them as the two quickest in F1. They can both drive relentless, consistent races, and get the maximum out of a bad situation. But when the chips are down and the pressure is on, I'd feel more conf...

I'm... quite confused by the thread subject (I may be missing something!) but as my two cars have been a 106 and a 307, I'm pretty positive making either sound like an F1 car wasn't ever an option

Lewis' return to McLaren was definitely the funniest thing so far. DC suggesting - on the podium with millions of people watching across the world - that Alonso and his girlfriend would have a private celebration of their own later definitely made me laugh pretty loudly, too. Most satisfying? Given...

It's a bad idea and, at somewhere such as Monaco, could actually be a disaster and lead to accidents. But even if they elected not to implement it there (like how at Silverstone, drive-thru penalties are usually replaced with stop and go penalties because of the characteristics of the new pitlane) I...

Not seen the race (completely forgot to even check if there was FR3.5 this weekend) and was only reminded when I checked Autosport a few minutes ago and learned the outcome of the race. Oh well, I'd rather have it this way than completely miss the weekend! I did have to laugh at da Costa being sent ...

If we're counting street circuits he designed, then Valencia and Singapore are comfortably my two least favourite Tilke tracks. But if we're only counting the circuits he's built from scratch, I'd probably say South Korea is probably my least favourite. Not a particularly big fan of China or Bahrain...

Just a general thought based on some replies: I love the idea that any of the drivers at the sharp end (I say this because, comparatively. we rarely hear team radio from the bottom half of the grid) are consistently cool, calm and collected on team radio. They all have moments where they're anything...

Well, if I'm ever going to win the lottery, between now and when that goes up for auction would be pretty decent timing!

It is a sad reflection on modern day F1 that those such as Guttierez can take a seat from someone the likes of Kobayashi But until Guttierez had had a couple of runs in the F1 car, how would any one know he was not as good as or better than KK? He may have come into the team and blitzed his team ma...

1. Gutierrez 2. Chilton 3. van der Garde Gutierrez, for me, is the clear #1 so far. Getting outqualified by Hulk is no shame, but failing to make it out of Q1 on three occasions is pretty poor. The gaps have, generally, been pretty significant. One second+ in two of the last three races, albeit he g...

Alonso has already said he will retire wearing red . Of course nothing is written in stone, but I expect to see him at Ferrari until 2016 or 2017. I also believe Vettel will end up in red within 3 seasons.. Marussia? :D Perhaps he just never quite finished that sentence. "I will retire wearing red....

Caterham: Raikkonen and Vettel
Marussia: Alonso and Hamilton

Admittedly not for a whole season, as I think the novelty would wear off pretty quickly, but certainly for a couple of races.

Jenson's Understeer

Seb and Lewis are two for sure. Seb's had two victories (one a little more controversial than the other!), a podium and been within touching distance of another. Two poles as well, so I'd definitely include him. Lewis' has done an excellent job at Mercedes so far, and as much as he may have been for...

Just this past race, SkyF1 had Johnny Herbert in Merc's simulator. Not sure how long he got in it (given they mentioned Anthony Davidson was there all day, I doubt it was more than 30 minutes) but yeah... Can you read? I guess not. I said they would not let anybody in for a lark. If they give someo...

I bet if the poll had a 'Kimi Raikkonen' option, it would currently be winning!

I'm a Pisces.

Jenson's Understeer

I could understand him doing say, a day in the sim just to see what kind of lap times he can put in, how his hand copes with all that is required with an F1 steering wheel (just minus the closed cockpit), what his feedback is like and his 'feel' for the track compared to the race drivers, etc. But s...

I wouldn't even consider Red Bull taking on a GP2 driver. Aside from half a dozen or so drivers, they could pretty much have whoever they want as a replacement for Webber. That would include the likes of Hulkenberg, who right now is a much safer bet than any of the GP2 drivers. It's hard to imagine ...

At the moment, I feel like it'll be: Red Bull: Vettel and Ricciardo Ferrari: Alonso and Massa Mercedes: Hamilton and Rosberg McLaren: Button and Perez Lotus: Raikkonen and Grosjean Sauber: Hulkenberg and Bianchi Force India: di Resta and (probably) Sutil Toro Rosso: da Costa and (presumably) Vergne ...

Jenson's Understeer

(wild) prediction but also most likely to happen: Webber stays at Red Bull Raikkonen stays at Lotus (moving to Red Bull would destroy his relationship with Vettel within races, would be worse than now) Bianchi goes to Ferrari instead of Massa Massa retires Hulkenberg keeps stuck in a midfield team ...

I go out my way to avoid reading anything Andrew Davies writes these days. I completely understand his are opinion pieces, and as is the case with any such article, will be subject to a little bias. But I'd always found he very rarely actively backed up his opinions, and worse still, had a habit of ...

Jenson's Understeer

I would put money on Bianchi being in the Sauber next year. I just don't know whether it's replacing Hulk because Nico has moved to a different team (Lotus does seem like the only potential option, in terms of moving up the grid) or Gutierrez because Carlos Slim has decided to focus his attention fu...

just a rumor i heard btw on this subject is that Webber had his 200th race with cake and such and the whole team was there except for Vettel and Marko.

Tell me about it, an awesome finish! I did joke to Russian Time about the chasm between Nasr and Bird given that difference was eight times the size of the closest F1 finish. Interesting that Coletti has taken the championship lead though, not Leimer's finest weekend. Leimer's two-for-two in the fe...

No comments on Button's reaction to Anthony Davidson's thorny "What were you thinking there" after showing Button driving just as aggressively as Perez? Did he actually have 'technical' problems, or did Button not want to deal with the question I wondered if it was the first time Jens had seen that...

It's tough to pick between Vettel and di Resta, because I think both of them drove flawless races and would've really struggled to get a better result than what they actually achieved. Vettel was perhaps fortunate that he didn't have anyone challenging him, but his time on lap 55 suggested he had pl...

I'm going to say 9. It was a great race, full of wheel-to-wheel action up and down the field, the majority of which was a lot cleaner than what we've seen in recent seasons. The one thing it lacked? Any legitimate squabble over the win after the first couple of laps. Once Seb got out front, he never...

At the time, I was of the opinion that it was a very peculiar move, and one where he/his management team perhaps bought into Sauber having one stronger season compared to Force India being the better team for the two seasons prior to that. Or, of course, that he either wanted to be that step closer ...

That sprint race was pretty awful for about 16/17 laps, and then just amazing for the final 6/7.

I actually love the look of the Williams, and have done ever since I first saw it. Couldn't tell you why. The Marussia is probably my least favourite, as whenever I see pictures of it, I always find myself thinking it looks disproportionately long. Not a fan of the livery, either.

I really don't know what to make of Heikki's time. On the face of it, being .6 down on Pic seemed terrible, but then you learn Pic's car has the upgrades and van der Garde's did not, before Pic outqualifies van der Garde by over a second. But was that because of the upgrades, or more down to van der...

I've always felt that a track which usually provides a less entertaining race would be better suited for the first race of the season, just because the first race is exciting simply because it's the first race. So I wouldn't actually object to it being held in Bahrain to make that race a little more...
