Why make a villain of him for it? If I didn't know better I'd think you're new around here :lol: Since you are very smart and we talk *Definitely True*.. please explain me this bit..

My posts are here to testify how highly I have always rated Sainz. For me raw speed is the most important thing and he was even better than Verstappen in this department. He is also a very good starter(so far). There will be a vacancy very soon at Ferrari/Mercedes/McLaren so if he keep performing ve...

ROS/HAM (80/20) This crash is a blessing in disguise for Hamilton because after Nico taking the lead after T1, his deficit would have been 50 points and the Mercedes team can now clarify about this "wrong" mode Rosberg was using. Oh.. and this consecutive wins record hype will stop now. Bring on Mo...

Today race has confirmed what I have always thought about the F1 grid. There is definetely a weaker side of the grid and many drivers(I will not name them but I am sure a thread will be made about it in the next months) have set records or reached unbelievable hype thanks to that. The stronger side ...

ROS/HAM (80/20) After what we saw in the race with Raikkonen and Ricciardo unable to overtake who was ahead but slower, Hamilton did the right thing. But there are few things I want to add: 1. The cars are supposed to start using the "race start" power unit map but for some reason Rosberg was in the...

@sandman1347 Stoner had all the reasons to be upset. They said he was winning because DUCATI was faster on the main straight, but they forgot to mention that when it was time to take corners, Melandri/Capirossi could not make it work. DUCATI also did disrespect Stoner wen they tried to get Lorenzo ...

I don't know if people realize how small Ducati is compared to Yamaha/Honda/Suzuki. When I was a 2nd year student, our project was to design a demonstration platform for the Ducati museum. What Stoner did in 2007 is worth at least 5 WDC in the eyes of Ducatisti and whenever I watch Barcellona 2007, ...

I would say that if Max fails and Ricciardo gets poached then Red Bull are in big trouble regarding drivers. I think most teams would be in big trouble regarding drivers if one driver fails and the other leaves. Red Bull, having the Toro Rosso second team, are possible better placed than most thoug...

So we will have two possible outcomes with explanations/excuses: If VES is slower than RIC it will because : 1. He had too many buttons on his new steeringwheel 2. He is only 18 years old. Give him some time. 3. He doesn't know the car/track. If VES is faster than RIC it wil be because: 4. He is a g...

And girls/women.. The only one who has done something similar in recent memory is Raikkonen. Well yeah, you're probably right... not sure how Kimi has done that though. Kimi and his fanbase has always been a mystery to me. Here in Italy the guy has a lot of fanGirls it is ridiculous and even the fe...

I think Hamilton has broadened F1 to many people who were previously not that interested in the sport. He has also widened its appeal to a generation of younger fans. Weather you like it or not it brings interest, viewing figures and advertising to the to sport and is good for F1 in the long term. ...

Really the only reason he's the most 'famous' is because he dated a Pussycat Doll. It really wouldn't have mattered if he won 1 or 6 WDCs, that simple fact made him 'tabloid' fodder. By contrast Vettel lives in a tent in a field with his missus and hence hasn't captured the public at large's imagin...

Have you ever watched F1 on Spanish TV? Have you? Well I have, and ignoring how biased they could be or not be, I don't remember any Spanish TV pundit writing the BS that Herbert wrote.

Anyway, so little talk about Vandoorne. First time in the car yesterday after a tiring travel. Beats his highly respected team mate today. How about that? There's still tomorrow's race, but today was a first indication of why he should be in F1. Mega performance really. It is a disgrace he is not d...

What Herbert said in this case was unreasonable and Alonso was well within his rights to do what he did. I'm surprised however that so many people are attacking Herbert's prior record as a pundit - I've found him pretty even handed and fair most of the time and I don't recall him having any kind of...

Hopefully tomorrow Guttierez's car will not die on the starting grid.. Otherwise both Mercedes will find themselves in P3 and P4.

This is the kind of reacton I expected from Alonso.. Intimidation and politics at work. Sure, if standing up for himself and being brutally straightforward to an uncouth commentator is "politics".

Yes there is SKY UK, SKY Italia, etc.. and they all have their bias/preferences. The same as Spanish or French Media.

Sorry but Alonso was a bully here.. The worst things have been said to Lewis when he abandoned McLaren for Mercedes but i don't remember him been this disrespectful to any of those folks.

A few have mentioned that Alonso made a fair few mistakes in 2007, and didn’t have his best season, which is fair enough. Is it not also fair to say that Hamilton himself made a few mistakes, to be expected from a rookie, as well as a few unfortunate failures throughout the year? A pretty nasty acc...
