I don't think Hamilton would have taken it as well, but then Nico knows were was the inferior driver this year. That is why he lost. If Lewis lost this year he would have lost a title that he deserved. Also, Nico is smart, he knows the public game. He knows what to show in front of the cameras. Lew...

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, Having grown to be a huge Lewis Hamilton fan and predicting a WDC for him this year, I wanted to see if I could get any Newspaper headlines from the UK or anywhere really that features him prominently and in full color as the 2014 championship. I will pay for the papers a...

Rosberg has definitely upped his stock CONSIDERABLY this season.

Button belongs on a different list. Removing this season would make him the same driver he's always been. 2009.
Fast at times but consistently heads the mid field.

Am I the only one who saw Andrew Murdoch saying that Felipe is the guy who is improving the car setup from Friday up to the race? He bluntly said that Felipe facilitates his work a lot and that most improvements on the weekend are due to Felipe's experience. I think the guy is an asset on whatever ...

Alonso has destroyed some pretty big reputations in the past... Fisichella , got his break and joined a big team in Renault for 2005 and was always 0.4 slower than FA. Massa , 2007 he was beating Alonso on track more often than not. Become team mates and he destroys him. Raikkonen , rinse and repea...

This isn't as black and white as some think.

I haven't read anything on the ousting yet, but what are the odds that Mattiacci was a Luca man and this is more house cleaning by Sergio? Yup, yup… and YUP!!!

I agree that Lewis had the most exceptional year of all with Daniel & Nico right behind, and Valteri just behind them. I'd love to place Felipe baby up there but without having seen final results from him due to incidents, I don't know that I can place him up there, though the last to races he was p...

I'm sure John would be livid his son is facing being unceremoniously booted out of F1. However I'm not sure I sympathise with Jenson as much as others do. He has had an amazing career and had chances some drivers can only dream of. His career looked to be over in F1 way back in 2008 but he got a se...

Schumacher was clearly the best from 1994 until 2004 but I do feel his generation wasn't as talented as what we had before and what we had later. Mika was his strongest opponent most of the time and later on on Alonso. Kimi I don't think was ever a serious threat to Schumi. Hill and Villeneuve have...

No problem guys, water under the bridge. But no matter where these displays may be located, they will conflict with the basic fact that all exposed areas of the car, especially the vertical ones, are extremely expensive real estate, to display sponsors.

I quite like the regs we have now; I think they promote better racing. Better racing can only be summarized as drivers relying on their own talent to maximize both their abilities and the capabilities of their cars to out do one another, without the need of gimmick systems to make up for some of th...

Not a terrible idea for the casualist, BUT, regular LED's will not suffice. It needs to be a high intensity OLED light grid because it uses less energy, is far more intense will make for smoother characters, and are more compact. For Karts I'd imagine it would reside on the steering column fairing a...

100% agree with you there imbrugliaboy. As a driver with the advantage IT IS YOUR RIGHT to maintain the racing line and when you come into a fast series of corners and you have a serious contention on the inside you must brake as late or later in order to maintain the advantage. In doing so, you hav...

I think any proper fan looks at the entire season. If Hamilton loses it, it will be reliability and DNFs. He will end with at least 1 more race DNF and two more qualifying ones. Realistically that will need to be 2 more race DNFs to give Nico a shot at it. If Rosberg loses it, it will be ALL the ra...

Yeah, those long breaks KILL me!!!

So Glad Davidson recovered from his injuries at LeMan a couple years ago. THAT was a scary crash. Davidson is a Driver who wasn't given a proper chance in F1 with a Proper team.

If you call Facebook and Twitter a nonsense in 2014, than something is wrong with your perception of modern communication....

I've said it from the first moment they took to doing interviews on the podium… It's a stupid idea (and I HEATE the word stupid) that will always lead to moments such as these.

Should we be surprised by Piquet? He's ALWAYS been his own man and has ALWAYS DONE HIS OWN THING and many of us have appreciated that about him. Don't see how anyone should expect him to change now.

I don't think at this moment Heinz would want the life that Schumi is leading now. It's true we know very little about how Schumi is doing and what he can and cannot but common sense tells me it's not much to shout about. I would say Heinz is the lucky one now being (very) healthy. And there is no ...

This got me thinking about Brawn in 2009. Does anybody know which gearbox they used? Presumably it must have come with the engine from Merc, but I thought McLaren built their own gearbox, which would mean Merc didn't have one to give and it must instead have come to Brawn from McLaren...? If they n...

Yes but it's vastly more costly to engineer, design and build your own car than it is to buy a ready made one. You save on the first two stages this way, freeing up a bit of capital that customer teams can then put towards refinement and development to improve their particular chassis as the season ...

specdecible is dead nuts right with the Toro Rosso/Red Bull example and they did in fact out do the mother team a bit at times, but that team had many well experienced people from the Minardi days pushing them forward. And how can we know for sure customer teams couldn't out develop the works teams?...

Since the vast majority of us would prefer teams field their own cars of their own design, and the notion of just 3 teams building a 3rd car for someone else to run, I had an idea where I thought I could live with all-out customer cars.

To the fans it's of no use, outside maybe raising the argument that a particular driver such as Kimi IS indeed one of, if not the fastest guy in all of F1, but for teams assessing their cars' short comings, they can use that data to analyze how, where and why the car was able to go that fast for tha...

We have series that already do this and this is F1 for Formula 1 cars.

1,000,000% agreed sandman!!!

Will Buxton said the same thing in thew Pre-Race show and it made absolutely NO SENSE to me either. Would make more sense for F1 to reduce prize money to filter it back toy Marussia and Caterham and any new teams to keep their 2 cars in the series.
