Paul di Resta, I just don't like the guy for some reason and I'm not sure why.. from the very first time I heard him speak in an interview I was just 'nah' don't care about him at all. All the ones I 'follow' to some degree are people I think I'd enjoy having a beer and a chat with, driving ability...

Will Vettel win 7 World Championships. Or actually 8 if he is to beat Michael Schumacher?

Will he win 91 races. Or 92 if he is to beat MS?

Which is more likely?

Whitmarsh already hinted at "another try" for Perez, which potentially means they may show him the door if the performance isn't there next year... With Button also gone, they may have two seats to fill... as a manager, it would suck for it to be so. Why? Alonso has a contract, so does Vettel, so d...

He might be a little young, but he's probably less of a gamble than Massa was. Actually Hulkenbergs F1 curriculum is very similar to Massa's before he joined Ferrari. I would like this on the one hand. On the other hand, I do hope his talent would not go wasted next to Alonso, who seems to be a ver...

I'm a non smoker but I really dont see why they can't be advertised. They should either be completely banned or advertised like any other product. I know the government makes too much tax from them to ban them but I hate this attitude of you can buy them buy they can't be advertised and have to be ...

I mentioned it on the movies thread, it also has an entry in IMDB. It looks very good, documentaries like that have been made before, but it's always interesting. It contains some footage that I've never seen before There's also a Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/1thefilm The film has gone d...

With financial worries no longer an issue Sauber wont need to bring in a pay driver. Move Hulk to Ferrari to partner Alonso & move Massa down to Sauber to partner Bianchi. Sergey Sirotkin has already signed for Sauber 2014, and Ferrari want Bianchi in the midfield so it's likely Sauber 2014 will be...

He's a difficult one to really assess. Obviously he's a great driver. His stats bear that out. Including being a World Champion. On one hand he has proven to be as fast as anyone on his day, very consistent and a pragmatist and strategist. But he doesn't appear to have quite the same fire as the Ham...

I think the right answer was already posted: As good as it gets. 99 races, 27 wins I think. His smooth driving was even more important with the cars of his day. He learnt from the very best, Jim Clark. Should be included in any top 10 list, possibly top 5 or even higher. IMO.

I am under the impression that Kimi Raikonnen's family was quite poor. There was a story I heard that when he got his first cheque from McLaren that he built his parents a proper bathroom.

If the world championship was at stake then they would, without a doubt. Even Mark Webber. And it is completely legal at this point. If the driver wouldn't do it then the team might just disable the car to achieve it (is that even possible?).

I think that Button would work very well at Ferrari. He would certainly push Alonso on most days and would always be there to pick up the pieces if Alonso doesn't quite perform. He wouldn't upset the balance becase that is not his personality. He could be the perfect fit for the next two years. From...

Dash33

It could also be that Kimi and his team felt that they were waiting for Red Bull to make a decision. They don't like being in a weak negotiating position and felt that the team were leaning toward Riciardo. So they tell the press it's over and that Kimi has several options. Maybe they are hoping tha...

Sorry bud, you're crazy... only time Merc backed Lewis was in Malaysia. As Pedrosa_4_ever said, if they were blatantly backing Lewis then they would have told Rosberg to let Hamilton past in Monaco Except that all the signs are the Brawn favours Lewis. He gushes every time he opens his mouth. You a...

I like Lewis Hamilton. For whatever reason I wanted him to beat Rosberg. But am I crazy or has this team just backed Lewis all the way, from the beginning. Ross Brawn just gushes over Lewis. Niki Lauda said that Lewis winning was one of the best drives he has ever seen (and his F1 career covers over...

No way would Vettel lead a race in the Torro Rosso unless perhaps he was out of sequence with pistops after the first stop, i think Hulkenberg did similar in the Sauber, likewise Di Resta/Sutil in the FI? That being a slightly better car though. Sorry have to disagree. Currently the Torro Rosso is ...

Dash33

I said ages ago on the Lewis moving debate - that Brawn/Merc must have had something on the table to show Hamilton to encourage his Macca 'defection'. It's not like they had any results history to say - 'hey, we are improving' - so it must have been something else? I seriously doubt it was No. 1 st...

Do you think that the Red Bull management wants to remind Seb who is in control after Malaysia? Hence they are seriously considering teaming him with Kimi or even Alonso (less likely of course). Why, is Seb such a mighty powerfull pain in RBR's donkey so that the menagement got to go plotting for o...

Dash33

The big threat for Red Bull next year is Mercedes. With 2 very good drivers and probably a great car Red Bull might be forced to go for an ultimate driver package of Kimi/Seb or Alonso/Seb in order to maximize results. Ricciardo is a nice guy but if you look at his results against his team mate, wh...

Dash33

The title of the thread, doesn't even make sense. Reap what, another WCC for Red Bull? Yeah, they'll show him, by swimming pool him off and sending him to look for another team. Yeah, that'll show Seb. Your statement validates the title. If they hire another world champion it reduces Seb's power wi...

This story is told in '1', the documentary. Also coming out this fall. It also covers the Hesketh Racing fairytale story that helped launch Hunt in to a McLaren. Again, full disclosure. I was part of making the film. But I really think F1 fans are going to love it. It's the real story.

Undoubtedly, you don't come into new series at such a young and immediately adapt to the higher power levels and get good results. He had yet another good weekend at Red Bull Ring, 4th in Race 2 and heading for sixth/seventh ish in Race 1 before being t-boned. The eight ahead of him are all in F1 a...

How can he possibly be ready when other drivers are beating him? If winning the last series your in before advancing to F1 was a requirement the field would be missing some true talent. Some drivers are picked because they see something in them other than the ability to produce results in lower for...

My guess is probably no. I think Vettel would love to shut him out. And I wonder if he can really compete with with one foot out the door.

There are many films and documentaries that have been floating around but there is one that screened in Austin last year which will be coming out some time after Rush. It's a documentary called '1' and below is a link to the Facebook page. I do know that it will be coming out soon but I don't know e...

I think that this will happen. Kimi will be at Red Bull next year. It's too good an opportunity for all parties. And you know that Bernie is pushing for it to create some excitement.

Dash33

I think Kimi will make Seb work very very hard for his wins, and Kimi, as superb as he is, will finally be the comparison that reveals just how awesomely good Vettel really is. I would prefer for you to be wrong but I actually suspect you are right. But you never know. If they are team mates and KR...

Dash33

Few reasons spring mind to me! The simplest IMO Vettel is better than Kimi. Red bull like exposure and PR,not something Kimi is renowned for but that is more a reason for him not joining at all! Kimi is not getting younger and will be facing Seb coming into his prime years! Kimi although as good as...

What about if Roman Abramovitch comes in to F1, as has been reported, and takes on F1 in the same way he has football, and the same way Dieter Materschitz has. He may be given lots of money, a job in England and a brand new challenge to take a modfield team to the top again (Sauber was the team ment...

Vettel is reported to earn 12 million Euros while Alonso and Hamilton rportedly earn 20 million. You could argue that this is because he was born out of the YDP. If that is the case then Marko and the Torro Rosso team have earned their keep. Also, I would imagine that like all other teams, they run ...

I had it completely wrong. I thought they were qualifying with the tyres, then before the race changing the lefts with the rights. Then again when fitting a set of used tyres changing them over from how they were previously used. Because at certain tracks one side often takes more of a beating. Is ...

I don't get what it is Massa does to have such an incredible free pass. Is it the Brazilian Ferrari market? Waste of a great seat. Someone's probably already said this but Santander are huge in Brazil and the rest of South America. That's why they can afford to pay him $8 mill a year or whatever it...

Dash33

I think Hulkenburg could move to Ferrari but is he better than Di Resta? However I reckon if Massa turns his season around he'll stay at Ferrari... They like him and he likes them. How many times will he turn his season around before Ferrari realise that the first half of the season is just as impo...

Only a rise tinted fool would still think button is as quick as Hamilton. As for button to RBR, he would be doing so as a 2nd driver, as a consistent finisher to bring points to the team but still slow enough to not trouble their darling vettel. Only a button fanboy would see otherwise. I am not a ...
