Oh, I just so love the elitist attitude of some F1 fans when it comes to NASCAR& who don't follow NASCAR & only comment on one race or an incident they see on the news or a YouTube clip etc. Tin top racing is a whole different thing compared to racing in open cars & tin top racing in NASCAR compared...

From all drivers in the grid, Raikkonen is probably the one who least cares about how his teammate is doing. So Massa is wrong. The beating Raikkonen is receiving is not psychological but physical. He is getting smoked on the track So he says. But I'm not sure that's true. It must impact him when h...

Sam's been working overseas for over 20 years & I have always wondered if he would eventually return to Australia. I guess that's now been answered. He's too young to retire & has so much experience so I am wondering if this has anything to do with Team Penske being involved in V8 Supercars next yea...

I think that article is a bit exaggerated. If you look at long term, I wouldn't say Ferrari are losing out replacing Alonso with Vettel, because Vettel is a long time investment. It was always known that at some point they have to replace Alonso with a younger star. I think it's unlikely for Ferrar...

Looking at the poll & having watched the raced, bottom line, it was pretty boring &, because I love F1, I don't say that very often

That has to have been the most amazing/different Bathurst race that I have ever watched. Considering I am 56 years of age & have been watching Bathurst since I was young & my middle brother was a Marshal at Bathurst for many years, that's saying something

Here we go again with the nonsense that Alonso is the best, if you ask what makes Alonso good they can't say anything special. The reason why people call Alonso the best is simply the media keeps referring him as the best, especially on SKYF1 and BBC but nothing proves it. I totally agree, he is th...

I just had a Skype lesson with one of my guitar heroes, Philip Sayce. He couldn't have been a nicer guy, complementing me on what I did well and helping me with what I was doing wrong instead of just saying it was wrong. We had a great chat about the guitar greats, and how to approach the guitar fr...

basically if next years Honda McLaren is poo poo , mixed in the fact with his retirement getting closer , and with the average F1 drivers age plummeting to unseen levels , maybe Fernando should try to not be so instant with his, "I've had it , i'm out a here " remarks :lol: :lol: :lol: I wouldn't c...

A little turtle begins to climb a tree slowly. After long hours of effort, he reaches the top, jumps into the air waving his front legs, until he crashes heavily into the ground with a hard knock on his shell. After recovering his consciousness, he starts to climb the tree again, jumps again, and kn...

Daniel for me. He did a lot of precise & analytical passes during the race whereas, Lewis, being hailed as the current rainmeister, didn't show the mastery of racing in the wet that he normally does IMO. Special mention for Jenson Button, he did a fantastic job especially considering how many F1 fan...

Hahaha, exactly. I love the sound of the Mercedes AMG safety car. Beautiful sound, beautiful looking car. This year, in V8 Supercars, the safety car is a Chrysler 300 SRT8. Doesn't do the same thing to me that the Mercedes AMG does

I don't understand why anyone is saying that Honda's engine will be behind or a disaster in 2015. And I certainly wouldn't take anyone's word from a team using another engine etc. Considering they have been working on it since 2013 & have 2014 to see where other engines are, they could be fantastic....

I was surprised, to be honest, that they even had a podium interview, considering what had happened. I half expected an announcement to be made that there wouldn't be an interview. What also surprised me was that they still played the upbeat music for the champagne spraying part of the podium which,...

Things were different then & I don't think that you can compare then & now, however, yesterday was a reminder that, no matter how safe things have become, motor racing is still a dangerous sport

Does anyone know how soon Bianchi crashed after Sutil? To me, watching on TV it seemed like it was a lap or so later not immediately after. If this is the case, considering there was a tractor right there to take Sutil's car away, the tractor shouldn't have still been there for Bianchi to crash into...

I got the feeling Pedrosa was going to do whatever Marquez did, and Marquez made an error of judgement due to lack of experience. :thumbup: Agreed. Dani, with his years of experience, should have known better but I think that he is at the point of being so frustrated with his younger team mate's re...

Been to three races this year, yeah not a fan lol. Just most races are are a big train of follow the leader, bit like F1 back in the day. Different experience being there, TV is not good action overall in a season. While the director was following Lorenzo alone for some laps, they missed several ba...

Interesting news for fans of V8 Supercars Down Under. Marcos Ambrose is leaving NASCAR to compete with a renewed Dick Johnson Racing / Penske matchup for the 2015 season. Woohoo!! Should give RedBull Racing something/someone else to think about. ;) http://www.motorsport.com/v8supercars/news/ambrose...

I've noticed during quali in NASCAR that when a driver is on a lap they show a constant feed of whether the driver is up or down on the current fastest driver. I'm surprised they haven't introduced this in F1 yet instead of keeping the 3 sectors. I thought it was great that you could see whether th...

Whether this is good or bad for Ferrari, only time will tell, but obviously something had to happen.

No offence intended but if your watching of the sport depends on a certain driver being in it I think your doing it wrong.
