Re: Kimi Raikkonen's incredibly bad luck

You want to talk about double standards? Ricciardo gets a ten place grid penalty for EXACTLY THE SAME THING at the Malyasian GP last year. Raikkonen and Ferrari get away with it. Amazing. As far as I am aware, the rules have changed regarding this since last year. The mandatory 10 place grid penalt...

Re: Driver(s) of the Day - 2015 Australian Grand Prix

I missed the beginning of the race due to a "sun outage" (!!@%!), but gather Nasr may have been at least partially responsible for a first lap crash/incident? I haven't voted yet as I'm waiting to find out whether this is the case. Even so, its hard to come up with drivers of the race as we don't k...

Seems odd. Perez got knocked out at Monaco, missed Canada and was back after that. So Perez had 4 weeks between races - which is more than Alonso would have had if he'd raced at Australia. I think there is a bit more than is being said - but I'm surprised at the amount of people who think they have...
