Sorry I just don't agree, he outbraked a car more powerful than his and made the corner. hasn't lost my respect nor the respect of the other 'seat of the pant racers' like Alonso and Hamilton in my view.

What is this 'quality driving' you are referring to, an example would be good?

both max verstappen and hamilton had drive through penalties. Has anyone actually seen them serve them ? Hamilton did so almost immediately, but I don't think that Verstappen did one, he had 10 seconds added to his time but was ahead of Alonso by more than 10 secs so result stays the same. Depends ...

From his reaction to the radio call Rosberg seemed desperate to defend his position and I think that reflected in his track positioning, he was clearly out thought by Ricciardo who surprised him. It would have been great if DR and SV had had to scrap it out to the end! Ricciardo seems to come alive ...

OK, totally unscientific, but for me a planet is a sphere or spheroid in a circular or oval orbit, Not elliptical as that might include a comet. an asteroid is an irregular rock. Might not even be in orbit, but given gravity it probably orbits something! Someone with a better understanding of astrop...

I noticed a picture of Toto Wolf on Youtube with his pit pass the wrong way round, failure to display authorised access means exclusion from the pit lane.

Kvyatt outqualifying Ricciardo once more. Ricciardo's stock has really taken a nose dive. Ricciardo was faster, just didn't keep it on the track so actually he out drove Kvyatt but was out qualified by him. :-? Are they applying the track limit rule to the last corner too? There was a Lotus looked ...

Comprehensive response, however, he is stating the clutch cost him the race, wouldn't that have given him the chance to either practice with the new setup or revert? I get that you think he would rather be racing, but setting up the car is critical isn't it? No-one likes practice but as the saying ...

Option or Prime

Where would he practice starts in Austria? The pit lane is not suitable, thats why they use the main straight at the end of session. Besides Wolff has already said the switch to the new clutch was a Mercedes decision; so I doubt they will revert. Umm… the main straight at the end of session ! The p...

Much as I like F1 and all sportsmen to be rounded individuals, I am concerned that Lewis's self promotion may be becoming a distraction. http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/24181/9896227?

Interesting bit in this article which basically says that Tandy effectively won the race by being fastest in the overnight stint.

Anyone know , is Tandy the new emerging talent?

If you say No, as you are perfectly entitled to do so, that means someone else will…. so who is that Vettel, Rosberg? Logic says yes, but realistically is that really a possibility.
However, if you've got a theory please share it !!!

With his wife expecting in August given Mark Webbers comments about Vettel being partly slowed by fatherhood , perhaps it is true?

I can't believe that in 2-3 years Honda couldn't develop a PU, they are in a bad place currently but even 6 months should see them on the same page as other manufacturers, Ferrari have proved that.

Don't forget that they could all be building different PU's if Bernie changed his mind!

If it all went totally pear-shaped and no improvments were made by 2016,17,18 would Mclaren or even Ron Dennis have the guts to admit that they were wrong or made a misjudgement? And the financial aspect is huge too. Honda are pumping tens of millions into McLaren, Mercedes were charging them tens ...

Yes, agree it is hard, I hear the plural but it is difficult.

Fact of the matter is he is right either way, but then he is not alone, Ricciardo clearly didn't like being lapped by a Williams!

Option or Prime

I think it is somewhat justified. Sure he can be frustrated but the usage of "I" indicates he is getting fed up with the whole situation and he's maybe starting to look out for number one instead of the team interest. It's a testing year, he knows that. He should comply to the team's wishes, as the...

Wasn't there speculation in the commentary that the extra pit stop was added to re-set the engine mapping that requires the car to be stationery to do so?

What tinkering? Tinkering is the word I am using to describe this, there have been 3 similar major accidents in Indy racing in quick succession. From the BBC site is a quote "IndyCar racing is likely to take establishing what has happened extremely seriously. It is not unknown for a set of rules to...

Option or Prime

Not an expert on Indy but there is a school of thought that these accidents have been caused in part by changes to specifications, the current "cure", is alter the spec again to increase the down force on the cars to prevent this. Point is that BE is looking to tinker with format such as power, refu...

Option or Prime

With the 4th Indy crash in a week it strikes me that tinkering does seem to cause problems! It is all very well saying F1 needs cars to be as fast as possible but here is a cost. Is it acceptable to put drivers lives at risk or is F1 a far safer sport? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/motorsport/3278953...

Option or Prime

Hold station perhaps, but how far back, how long does it take to recover from a spin, 20 second gap and you could keep the lead. 10 second gap and you loose the lead.

Discussion on the forum on Sunday was that the race was boring, why not make it more so by setting the result 10 laps earlier!

I don't like it, never have. So I don't think you have overreacted in your opinion personally, though I too am surprised it's the first time you have come across it. :thumbup: I am not even close to be Hamilton's fan, but if ever someone celebrates his misfortune, I sense that there is something re...

Yes, I know it is technically advanced etc, which is what DC was saying, but If honda were not ready, should they have waited another year? or done more mule testing in the off season?

lmao, Rosberg is an idiot. Hamilton was managing his tyres and sped up to the exact amount he was asked by the team. Rosberg's mad because he's not as good.

I did not vote. But I'm somewhat puzzled by the result. Not because of Hamilton and Verstappen (both deserve their votes from my pov) but why is Kimi way in front of Vettel? Because he *may* have attacked Vettel if there was no safety car? And that would have been because he had fresher tyres in th...
