Hard to tell but my vote's Pasta. One can learn race craft, but you either have raw pace or you don't. Partner Pasta with a more experienced driver (Yes he was with Boobins last year but that was his rookie year and Boobins is midfield who ended up in a top car) who's willing to spend time with him ...

I'm always amused when they play the Australian National Anthem. Compared to the European or South American ones we hear, it's so dry and unexciting. But it's mine and I love it. Haha fair enough, I'm a Kiwi and I like your anthem. Our is the pits, an old drinking song with garbled lyrics that mean...

Beaten by Boobins in his -first- season. Some drivers need a bit of time to learn, they're not all Senna sr, Lewis or Keke. People just don't want to give him credit. He's erratic and inconsistent but whether people like it or not, he's quick.

swillis

Doubt it, one of the engineers was saying recently it would be a shame for Lewis to go as they have built next years car with him in mind.

swillis

He's never been quick enough to be a world champ so it's the best he could do. He should consider himself lucky to have been in WCC teams, but instead he bitches and whinges about his faster team mate getting specials privileges. If hadn't of been in the dominant Ferrari which made him look better t...

It's not a ban worthy mishap, grid penalties are useless against the bottom teams, 20s isn't enough so what else can they do? The course was red flagged meaning potential imminent danger around every corner, go slow and don't pass anyone, he did, doesn't matter if Petrov was out of the way. Rookie o...

All the women that Eddie Irvine beds using only the line 'I drove for Ferrari' seem to think so.

I can't stand people that say he's arrogant. Go look up the definition of arrogant/arrogance ... it's the belief of self importance, or that they are better than others. Once you have a world title to your name, it ceases being a belief - you have a trophy to prove it. So now he's won a trophy he's...

None of the above is true.

Long run I'd say yes they're a mid field team. They're not Ferrari or Macca, nor do they have Newey - the only reason RBR are a top team.

swillis

Austin, where Fred will cement his third title.

swillis

I wonder about Fred (A shot of Felipe in the snow) and Massa's shots (His race engineer Rob Smedly). What I'm guessing is Fred asked Felipe what he was submitting:- "I'm submitting a pic of Rob, he's always there, behind me one-hundred per cent at every race" Fred "Oh, so that's the critea" and subm...

Rally and F1 don't compare. Time trials v racing. You race the clock, not each other. Next to that I'd question F1's top spot when other series can lap as fast. Cart was close getting a few years before its demise but inspite of F1 slowing down it's still not being challenged.

Between the video footage, which is posted a page or two back, you can clearly see Seb check his mirror, he knew Fred was coming. Add to that the stewards have access to telemetry which shows Seb changed his line AFTER checking his mirror the move was outright dangerous. To those that don't like lik...

I'd like to see fred win his fourth drivers crown.

I'd love to see Hammy in a Merc, the car sucks but he'd be out performing both Schumi and Brittney in it, would be a great way to show his talent.

And for Caterham to score a point ... I'd be prepared to give up nut a for that.

swillis

Cheers Rocket_Red _b

swillis

Yeah, he makes mistakes but he is quick. He'll string enough mistake free laps together during a race before the end of the season.

swillis

Why were people advised not to attend?

swillis

Such a tight technical track that doesn't flow requires contastant precision ... so voted Nando (like I would for every GP) but I have a feeling Button and maybe Kimi might spoil his day. RB have no chance without the cornering speed that the EBD gave them.

I don't get to watch races anymore, been on pay telly here for years. After reading this thread earlier in the day I was expecting to watch the a replay and think it was *Definitely True*, but after watching the onboards, he was clearly along side and Vettel needed to leave a car width.

swillis

He's not going to get what he wants from Macca, more money and to keep the orig trophies. Those might be up for grabs elsewhere but he'd have to partner Fred again, in Fred's team, or go to Merc who built a car around Saturday instead of Sunday. No way Marko would let him contest alongside his golde...

swillis

Nearly voted Vettel but remembered he's being done by his No 2, leaving only ... well, no one. Trulli was probably the last driver who was stupidly quick over one lap.

swillis

Somewhere between the top to choices but much closer to 'one of the best of the current generation' than not being anything special. He's a got a lovely trophy proving he's special.

While he's been in F1 for 7 years and that shows on the race track, he does have a sense of immaturity as his twitter exploits show. Nephilist's right, Ross would calm him down and it would spill on the race track too. His pace with more control, that'd be scarey. While he's had to work hard, not ta...

Nando, but the Maccas will be quick. A Renault powered car hasn't had a podium there since Nando in 2005 UNLESS it's had a EBD, ie Seb win last year, but where's his EBD now? Back in the parts bin at Milton Keynes. I would like Kimi to prove me wrong though.

swillis

I trust EJ, he's not often wrong with these things. It might be LH posturing to try and gain a bigger salary from Macca, but Lewis is young. He can go to Merc, get paid more, KEEP HIS TROPHIES (He's kinda keen on this) and still join another stable down the line. They might not have the greatest car...

swillis

Cars not fast enough to win Monza. Ferrari, Macca, RB, Lotus and even Sauber will be quicker.
