Oh I think that would make the sport look even sillier. It'd just look like an energy drink company series. Which is all well and good until this company decides it wants to give it a go.. http://www.bcenergy.co.nz/images/bca4a.jpg Well they'd go well with this company taking part as well..... http...

Not particularly. Monster don't have a vested interest in Motorsport like Red Bull do, they are purely there for sponsorship only. I'd imagine they are quite happy to continue sponsoring the WCCs, if the price doesn't get too high of course.

So in all likelihood the new Honda engine is rubbish and the new McLaren chassis is rubbish. Oh dear... Pretty much yep. Doesn't give them a great base to go into 2016 with really and it makes it three years in a row that McLaren have built a dud chassis. I don't see them suddenly getting it right ...

I don't see why not. The thread title is pretty clear.

I should have thought that obvious as to why Fiki.

This came up in the Lewis thread. Seems to me that Lewis is saying he doesn't trust his team to be able to make the proper calculations, which is a little odd. They have all the data and access to info he doesn't. After all, he realised later on that they were absolutely right, so proclaiming he do...

He should get on the blower to Ferrari and remind them who beat Vettel rather handsomely last year... ..obviously that may be a long shot given I doubt Vettel would want Ricciardo as a team-mate again that soon and I don't think Ferrari would risk the harmony they seem to have built up over the last...

Red Bull are contractually obliged to remain in the sport until 2020. The only way they could get out of that is if someone bought that contract off of them, however given that Red Bull are basically saying their reason for quitting is because it's impossible for them to be competitive that pretty ...

MDS, it sounds like you are awfully close to conspiracy territory. I'd be careful.

Audi, according to Morotsport.com, have said F1 now may be an option. Seems they are just as indesicive as Red Bull. Could be a match made in heaven after all!

Horner was claiming Audi weren't an interest for Red Bull just three days ago.

Laura23

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/32688667 Red Bull have claimed they will quit F1 should they fails to get a competitive engine or Audi continue to refuse to enter. I find that unbelievable in arrogance from the team. Renault helped guided them to four double titles, they clearly do know how to...

You are being too sensitive. +1 +1 +1 If you was a football fan you would be called any name under the sun for getting touchy over it. That's sports, no offence but just wondering how old are you and how experienced are you in the world of sports. People can be very passionate regardless of the spo...

When Hamilton was told he had to pass Vettel on track, he responded: "I can assure you that's pretty much impossible. Find another solution." Rosberg was a more difficult prospect to pass than Vettel, so Hamilton wasn't going to pass him on the track. All Rosberg had to do was look after his tyres ...

Laura23

I'm not so sure a top 10 was possible for Alonso today. The McLaren was woeful on the harder tyre and Alonso had only been on them for four laps when his brakes failed. I think he'd have come around 12th, close but still not close enough.

Laura23

The driver I'd vote for isn't even on the list. Why just have the top 10? Once again the DOTD poll is flawed. Alonso? Maldonado? Maldonado for me. He was fantastic even with a broken rear wing and was only denied points due to the long stop he had to take for Lotus to inspect it and of course the c...

Mercedes being dominant here was no real surprise. They just had to look after the tyres and they did. Monaco and Canada could swing the race back in Ferrari's favour.

Laura23

Is it possible for Hamilton to go to the end without another stop? Those hards really seem to be doing just fine for Hamilton. Why lose track position by pitting then? Not a chance. His tyres would fall off the cliff with a few laps to go and would make him very vulnerable to Vettel. Stopping will ...

Laura23

McLaren, man, I'm losing my fücking patience Given their past two seasons I don't honestly know why anyone expected a miracle this season. It's clear they are not gelled together as a unit yet. The car looked awful in handling too so I don't think the chassis is as great as some led us to believe p...

Laura23

Hamilton very poor so far for his standards! You'd think he'd manage to despatch Vettel rather easy given the advantage Merc had yesterday, clearly he's having balance issues and possibly tyre wear will get bad in the dirty air.

Rosberg romping away.

Laura23

So they aren't as fast as they were ten years ago? The racing has been fantastic the last year and a half. We've been told time and again that the teams are still trying to get the most from the new hybrid tech on the cars and in a few of seasons they could be as fast as they were in 2004. Be patie...

Laura23

Think you are making a mountain out of a molehill tbh. People will cheer when a driver they don't like particularly much has an engine blow up or spins off while leading etc. Take Britain in 2013 for example, I was very happy when Hamilton's tyre exploded because it ruined his race and I was not a f...

Great from Rosberg but I still have Hamilton leading into T1. Lewis has been starting better all season.

Laura23

McLaren are still an entire second off the top 10. That's woeful for a team like McLaren, especially given the two bad years they had previous to this one. Can you even call them a top team anymore? Mercedes look uber dominant. Hamilton likely to cruise to the win tomorrow afternoon. The Ferrari loo...

Laura23

Given Ferrari look further away than ever this year in Barcelona I'd expect the Hamilton/Merc deal to be done ASAP. Why he'd give up that Merc for anything else at the moment I don't know.

2. The 2015 McLaren livery will never be iconic. It's clearly something to keep them ticking over until Ron deflates his ego a bit and they get a title sponsor. Did you think the Brawn livery would become iconic? Far uglier cars than this have become iconic, including in my opinion the McLaren Marl...

Laura23

This livery (just like the old one) makes the Mclaren look like a car produced by a team at a very low point. Much like the Manor car. You see the Mclaren on the track and automatically think "oh dear, they must be struggling". I know it makes no difference to how fast the car goes, but surely they...

Laura23

They've never looked close to going back to red and white. That was Marlboro. Dennis already said McLaren is Black, Silver and neon red so I don't know why anyone wouldn't expect anything other than that. The chrome is going because it's too reflective apparently. More likely it's keeping heat too ...

Laura23

Question for anyone: do the teams have to use the engines sequentially? I.E. if they introduce a new engine for Barcelona, could they revert to an older one for Monaco, where ultimate power is less of an advantage (and thereby save wear on the newer engine), or do they have to effectively chuck the...

Laura23

I was wrong about the silver, it'll look far more like this. Just as dull as what they had in the first four races.
