Nah it would have been stupid to risk it however his rant about purists is bs. He says about people moaning about drs etc. People aren't moaning because of the lack of overtaking its the crap track. When you have a circuit where you can't overtake and running 2 -3 secs slower its not racing. But th...

No, the SC was deployed first for the Massa wreck. It took 3 laps for the medical car to make it to the Massa wreck. Now, that is entirely too slow and 1 of 2 things happened. The corner workers didnt let the race control know that Massa needed help or the fact that the medical car had to wait until...

Perhaps you havent watched much F1 over the years I guess. Where is the reward for going for the win? Watching since the 1970's ... you? The reward is 1st place. http://www.formula1.com/results/season/2013/898/7215/fastest_laps.html Well, points are points. It doesnt matter if its 25 or 18. As long...

The medical wagon was in turn 1 tending to Massa after the second safety car lap. Why it took two laps for the wagon to make it what seems a few hundred meters up the track is a little crazy to me.

You have a strange outlook on "racing". Perhaps it would be better than if they only qualified and nixed the race for fear of loosing points :lol: Perhaps you havent watched much F1 over the years I guess. Anytime you can get points its a bonus. RBR KNEW they had 2nd and 3rd locked up. Where is the...

Vettel admitted that he was driving for points only today. With a couple of laps left he posted a lap 2 seconds faster than Nico's best then backed off for a 2nd position ... not good. Of course he was running for points. 18 is more than zero. Plus Alonso was running very poor and Kimi was stuck in...

I have no idea why it can't be like a regular racing series and just pick up the leaders. Allowing pit stops once the safety car is deployed should be banned.

Taking care of tires? 32 laps on the super soft twice? Wtf? I guess some of you guys want them to go 60 laps with zero fall off. As far as passing, it's more on the fault of the drivers. Both FI drivers made passes stick and did it in three different places. It shows you can pass but it just takes p...

Anyone else getting the feeling that Flyboy is getting a little chuckle out of how many times he can ask the same question and get the same answer (relative). I'm actually chuckling more at the number of different answers I'm getting to the same question. Who'd have thought so many people with an i...

Ceccotto is banned from the rest of the Monaco weekend apparently. Sad he took out so many drivers with one stupid mistake.

Well, they are comfortable but Im a large guy. Im 6'5 and 220lbs (a stupid XXL or XXXL in most cycling stuff) so it might be different for other guys. My shorts would bunch up around my waist on longer rides and would be actually hurting by the time I finished. They are a little more expensive but I...

But a truly great explanation wouldn't have me working so hard to understand it, surely! The point about removing friction isn't about needing it there to make the car move. It's about showing that the engine can do the same thing in all the gears (if that's what it shows) and that friction is one ...

A lot will dismiss Vettel's success, which is a shame... as he's only the third driver to achieve what he did in F1, i.e. 3 titles in a row. Worse still, as Balibari pointed out, sooner or later, people will chalk it down to Newey. Nevermind the fact that Senna/ Prost/ Michael won most of their rac...

The best part of Hamilton's helmet is the fact that Nicole's hand is just on the windshield. There is no arm connecting it to her body. D'oh!! Don't worry, she won't damage anything - she's 'armless.

Well, if you are a McLaren fan I wouldnt be too excited about it.

I went out mountain biking for the second time with my new fork on Monday. It was perfect weather and the trails were great. Well, I forgot I had locked out my fork last time I rode.

One of the things that used to fascinate me about F1 was seeing drivers on the edge of performance, going hell for leather and pushing the car to the edge of grip. You had many drivers spinning on dry tracks, going off on their own etc. Now, if I see a driver going off the track I assume that is be...

Considering that the average Spanish grand prix is a snoozer (this was the first EVER dry race someone who started outside the top 3 has won) I rated it an 8.

Fast laps, lol. If you've been watching F1 this year you would realise that succeeding in F1 is not down to delivering fast laps anymore. Is about tyre and race management which PDR is extremely good at. Except the fact that Sutil was faster on more laps as well. I fail to see why you keep ignoring...

So where are the points? The Mercs were faster than the Ferraris too, but they also dont get points. It is not about who can make the car go fastest, its about racing. At the moment, that is Di Resta. like it or not. It may change, then his critics will be justified. Now they are not. No, the Mercs...

Sutil hasnt finished two out of five races. One he was hit by Gut and another the wheel nut system failed. Today, he spent a 1:17 seconds on his first stop in pit lane taking him out of the points but he somehow managed to scrap back up from 22nd to 13th. Lets go back to 2011 seeing how you are so f...

I honestly think it has to do with heat cycles. If you noticed that Hamilton would push hard for a few laps and then be forced to back off as he cooked the tires. Then, he went after it again and once again they got hot. Lots of other drivers had a pretty level drop off time.

Lets also say this as well. There were 7 drivers who broke into the 1:26 barrier this year. Last year, there were 2 and the second one was by .05 seconds under 1:27.

Sutil gained 5 spots in the first lap. DiR was no where near as fast today. I don't think you can jump to that conclusion, he made a good start sure, but you can't say that. Well, I can. Sutil went from 13th to 8th on the first lap and was in 8th until his horrid pit stop. DiR was in 10th and staye...
