Only if it was to go to Merc or RBR. Nowhere else is as likely to give him wins. After next year, when he will have a comparison between Ferrari and Mclaren, then it may be worth considering. But is 2016 too little too late? He'll be 34/35 that year and has probably began his decay of pace now. I d...

I think he's learned in F1 now that you cannot be conservative in this sport. I'd pick Mclaren Honda presuming Mercedes keep their drivers. Honda can copy Mercedes' engine with the split turbo and maybe can make a breakthrough. Ferrari is going nowhere.

Schumacher forever#1

I don't see how Ross Brawn would make much of an impact for Ferrari. And, anyways, they're not going to demote Mattiaci after just a few races. Ferrari need to concentrate on their engine and aero. Their strategy in the race and their drivers are both top notch.

The reason Alonso got beat by Hamilton in 2007 was simple: Alonso was hired on at a huge salary as the reigning WDC (and this was right). He had beaten Michael Schumacher, who was at that time acknowledged as the best driver in 2006 in a close fight in equal or near equal equipment. The only person...

I thought they did not run their upgrades in the race, only in practise? As for Silverstone, I'm just hoping that one of these tracks will be similar to China.I think that Silverstone seems to be similar to China - a few long straights and high downforce turns, some low speed ones; basically a balan...

For me is funny when some people say that Hamilton is better than Alonso because one year they finished with the same amount of points...we can say also that Button is better than Hamilton because he destroyed in 2011...or we can say that Rosberg is better than Hamilton because he is destroying thi...

They'd probably have to get the marshals to sweep up all of the marbles as well -_-

I was thinking of something like the Karussel bend but have an inside line that's flat and have that sort of camber around the outside. It's a very good example of what I'm looking for, although I wouldn't want the inside driver to get both the camber and the apex as it would even be harder to get t...

Schumacher forever#1

I was actually thinking of something like that! Where there would be two routes a driver could take so that they'd meet again beside eachother

I know I'm probably going to get slated and abused for this, but here it goes! Take any relatively high speed corner. We'll use the last corner at Bahrain as an example. With this turn, we often would see drivers being side by side into the turn, but one driver has to yield. How about we re-model th...

Germany missed Hummels alot against Algeria. If hummels returns then they need to shift boateng out to RB and Lahm into LB. Lahm is a great player, but he just doesn't have the physical presence to play in the midfield. That being said, I can see France winning 2-0. Germany will play a high defensi...

The Germans look weak at the back but arguably still look the strongest in defence other than Belgium. It is as if all the managers come together and said 'defending, lets give that a miss and make this a great tournament' the lack of defensive quality is certainly adding to the tournament. Colombi...

Oh yeah, get rid of the challenging race tracks with history and gravel traps and put in a circuit in the middle of a desert with nothing special at all. Yes, Bernie may be playing games, but go play games with Bahrain or Korea.

Schumacher and Raikkonen are the only two drivers I've seen in my watching F1 life (23rd season) to win the WDC in a car that wasn't the best, or very near equal best. With Raikkonen, the Ferrari was fast and not a huge amount behind the McLarens but... the McLarens took points off each other. I fe...

What is the source for Alonso's liking understeering cars? In any case, the Ferrari certainly seems anything but stable this year, especially in the early races! I think he simply referred to understeer that he preferred a small bit of understeer, but now everyone thinks it's the source to why the ...

Oh, I didn't see Moss there! I thought the current driver was Vettel when I saw it was alphabetical order, but then I realised that they were at the end for each category.

Schumacher forever#1

I'd rather he didnt- I'm still not sure on his ability to become a top tier driver. He had a resurgence in 2013, and to be fair he hasnt had a chance to shine with this years car. I could be proved wrong, but I just dont see him as a McLaren driver. I agree. Even in 2013 he showed some spatial awar...

Did you forget Sir Sterling Moss? Great list, although, personally, I'd put G. villeneuve up higher than the 20-30 block. And I don't really rate David Coulthard tbh.

Seriously, will William's be in contention for a win at Silverstone? I don't think so. I doubt it very much considering Austin was a low downforce circuit with long straights. Silverstone has long straights, but there are a high amount of high downforce corners where the Williams will struggle. How...

I don't think Mclaren would see it as an upgrade from Button.

Hamilton will win easy here without any reliability problems or tyre delaminations. Having said that, I could be easily wrong! Didn't Lewis say that he gains half a second because of the crowd?

Imagine Merc being 30 seconds ahead of 3rd place car, and then at the restart Vettel wins from 4th. Too much of a lottery and punishes lead drivers too much. Even worse - imagine someone getting seriously injured or killed on a re-start after a Safety Car, all in the name of 'Improving the Show'. I...

I guess the only thing that's good about this is that the laps aren't wasted while waiting on grid. Someone pointed out to me that they actually do still drive around behind the sc, but instead of the rolling start, they stop and then have a standing start. Yeah, kind of defeated the purpose when I...

Schumacher forever#1

I really don't think the driver can influence the development of the actual car and certainly not the engine power. They can, however, tune the car after the car has been built. This include adding more front wing; changing the intensity of the brakes, of which Alonso prefers soft brakes; adding cam...

It isn't really that bad when you think of it. It just can **** up some people's races and add a bit of a lottery. Other than that, it's quite good lol.

Schumacher forever#1

If there is a crash that takes 5 minutes to clear up, and drivers have to stay on the grid for that period of time, the brakes, tyres engine temperatures will all plummet. I think you've missed the point of how the standing restart will happen and what the procedure will be - and you're not alone. ...

Schumacher forever#1

My view on the standing starts- terrible. It is basically a red flag situation and will waste a huge amount of time, and, more importantly, I cans see viewers switching off their tv once the red flag ( or whatever it will be called) is shown. People simply do not have the time for this sort of time ...

Did he actually say that, because I'm reading the article and I don't think he did.

Nope
