They are entirely separate incidents and to be judged on their own merit. The only incident that can really be compared is the Defoe one, where he bit a player. He was given a yellow and nothing more because of the ridiculous FA rule of not changing a referee's punishment after he's dished it out. B...

I'd vote for him!

I know everyone's talking about the Bayern-Barca game, but you're all missing the big match from last night: Blackburn 2 - 1 Millwall. We're staying up! :D Now if only we can do something about those pesky owners... :? Well we have Watford on Friday (Leicester City) and lets just say, if we lose th...

I know everyone's talking about the Bayern-Barca game, but you're all missing the big match from last night:

Blackburn 2 - 1 Millwall.

We're staying up! Now if only we can do something about those pesky owners...

1. Gutierrez
=. Chilton
3. Van der Garde

I don't think it can be any other drivers, really. Just a case of who is considered the worst.

There's a great street in Melbourne with dozens of restaurants on it... I think it's called something like Hardware Lane? Went there for dinner one night when I visited Melbourne... Sorry, this is completely off-topic :) Not completely... Useful for visitors around the time of the GP. You're talkin...

If they were there for a season, Marussia & Caterham would suddenly find themselves with more sponsors on their car...

I also believe Vettel will end up in red within 3 seasons..

Marussia?

Red Bull: Hamilton, Massa
Ferrari: Vettel, Button
McLaren: Alonso, Webber
Lotus: Raikkonen, Rosberg
Mercedes: Grosjean, Perez
Sauber: Hulkenberg, Maldonado
Force India: Sutil, Bianchi
Toro Rosso: Di Resta, Ricciardo
Williams: Vergne, Bottas
Caterham: Gutierrez, Chilton
Marussia: Pic, Van Der Garde

Yeah, essentially. I haven't thought it through entirely, but the basic idea would be as you said - you get to have a go with the aid of DRS, but if you can't do it, you don't get to use DRS for a few laps. It gives drivers more reason to try to defend when their tyres are shot too, which would make...

Well, given it's a prediction/silly thread... Red Bull and Ferrari swap #2's - Webber joins his buddy Fernando at Ferrari and Massa plays second-fiddle to Vettel with a smile on his face. Lotus retain Kimi, but drop Romain. Paul Di Resta joins Kimi at Lotus. Force India replace PDR with Jules Bianch...

My parents were invited to dinner at our house on Sunday... Under strict instructions not to turn up until after 4pm! My Dad is a biased Jenson fan (like he was with Damon Hill), whereas I am a Kimi/Lewis and Lotus/Merc fan (I always support the team my favourite drivers are at). Our opinions differ...

I wouldn't mind a limit on the number of times the DRS canbe used, but slightly differently to the original poster's idea. I would like to see a limit on the number of chances given to a driver to overtake the car ahead. What I mean is this: Alonso is behind Vettel, within 1sec. He gets to the DRS z...

Completely forgot to do this for Bahrain! :( I'm not accepting the fact that I had just got back from honeymoon in Antigua as an excuse, but that's what happened :P Anyway, moving on to Spain. 1. Sebastian Vettel 2. Fernando Alonso 3. Kimi Raikkonen 4. Lewis Hamilton 5. Felipe Massa 6. Paul Di Resta...

And Di Resta still won't smile

And he'll keep banging on about moving to a bigger team!

Romain: Kimi, your rear left is graining a lot, maybe you should take it easy...

Romain: Kimi, your tyres are looking very bad, it might be time to-

Kimi: Yes, yes, yes; I know what I'm doing, you don't have to keep reminding me every five minutes!

I think it's sensible. They know what they're getting, after all.

The big question for me is whether or not this means Marussia will be supplied by Ferrari next year - provided they can hang on to Bianchi, of course.

Romain Grosjean will win a race.

Alternatively: Romain Grosjean won't smash into anyone...

For me, it's Schumacher. I am a Schumi fan so I know it's easy to be biased towards him, but I think there are a lot of reasons why he is the greatest. He is obviously known for his fitness, determination and his ability to get people around him that could create the car that he envisioned. I think ...

I think part of the problem is that teams will see where they qualify, then aim for a position to finish in, rather than go for the win. For example: Lewis Hamilton qualifies 6th on the grid. Mercedes then work out all of their technical strategies on tyres, fuel, etc., and aim for a position to fin...

Can anybody join, even though the season has started? I hope so. Here are my picks for China, anyway:

1: Kimi Raikkonen
2: Fernando Alonso
3: Sebastian Vettel
4: Felipe Massa
5: Jenson Button
6: Lewis Hamilton
7: Mark Webber
8: Nico Rosberg
9: Nico Hulkenberg
10: Sergio Perez

Talking about Alonso and luck - he's lucky to be alive after Grosjean almost took his head off last season. Slightly off-topic, I know, but that's luck in itself, I think.

I don't know about that so much, but I think when he moves to another team (I can't imagine him staying at Red Bull forever), I think it will prove just how much having a dominant car has helped him. I expect him to replace Fernando at Ferrari at some point, and I think it will kick up a huge debate...

Hi everyone. I've been an F1 fan since 1994, with the first race I remember watching being that fateful race in Imola (I don't remember that much, really - I was only 9 - but I remember seeing the overhead shots after the crash). I have always been a Schumacher fan. It started off because my Dad was...
