Him being Räikkönen, or Alonso?

That would be Kimi, I'm surprised we have not seen the onboard from his car, all the cars have cameras.

In Indianapolis, Fernando Alonso NEVER finished in front of his teammate even in his championship years. Jarno Trulli and Giancarlo Fisichella never HAD TO do wheel-to-wheel combat with Alonso to finish ahead of him in the first place. In 2003, Trulli finished 4th, Alonso retired. In 2004, Trulli f...

There is a lot of 'fan' feeling involved in this type of discussion, and I fear there will always be, especially because there are those detractors and fans of both drivers. Being objective in ones analysis is certainly going to be difficult for some people! Overall, I would agree with those that h...

It's a few things but people seldom seem to allow for the slight superiority in the ultimate pace of the best drivers. If Hamilton has just half a tenth of pace over Rosberg, that will add up to about 3 seconds over a race. Add the same again for Rosberg's possibly less decisive approach to backmar...

(considering how much people praise Senna's "let me past or we crash" attitude, made me angry at the time, makes me laugh now) I don't think it was the same people saying both. And there are definitely people who see Senna's attitude for what it was. As for Rosberg, he reminds me a bit of Damon Hil...

how's the regulation for this?

Engines are allocated to drivers so it will not be one of Alonso's engines

Yes indeed but Hamilton doesn't seem to be that highly rated by some

pokerman

Thanks – seems my memory got a little carried away! I think a lot is comfort zone and confidence – many have said Hamilton is much more comfortable in a wider set of circumstances and I think that gives him the edge on Sunday. Rosberg has been able to nail the qualifying set-up and deliver that one...

Wow. Good decision to not take any unnecessary risks, but I find it curious how McLaren on several occasions in that statement point out that he sustained no damage whatsoever during the accident. What would you call having a concussion then? :? I would call that the Ron Dennis misinformation polic...

You might ask why didn't Hamilton back out when Grosjean put the squeeze on in Spa 2012, drivers sometimes don't expect the other driver to drive like they don't even exist, also if you remember Hamilton was seen to be put at fault at Spa 2011 when he moved across on Kobayashi like he wasn't even t...

Bottas/Massa Raikkonen/Vettel Williams ahead of Ferrari is a controversial choice I agree with. Massa overall edged Raikkonen when they were together at Ferrari. Massa edged Kimi in 2008 and the first half of 2009, while Kimi was only better in 2007. Massa overall scored more wins, more pole positi...

Not that i don't rate him, but i am amazed Ricciardo has a tally of absolute zero votes -as of now- despite majority rates him above everyone bar Alonso. Odd.

Räikkönen-Alonso Japan 2012 is an incident where fault can be applied either way. It is rather a matter of opinion who you view to be more resposible for the collision. I understand that Räikkönen fans are eager to put all the blame on Alonso - but that is an opinion and not a fact. It is equally v...

Yes you could argue black is white without needing any facts to back it up, i think we both know that we will always agree to disagree and the debate goes nowhere, so like you say there is no more to be said on the matter between the two of us.

I think that Vettel has the most to prove has he seeks to rebuild his reputation, it's good that he has finally moved away from the Red Bull bubble and it will be interesting to see how his career develops from here on.

In 2010 I think he shared the blame for the loss a bit, but in 2012 I think he was desperately unlucky that Grosjean used him as a brake at Spa, otherwise we'd have two triple WDCs on the grid by now. If you believe that Alonso had to share the blame for 2010, then you should accept that he put him...

you've lost me a bit here. How is that relevant to whether or not the 2007/8 cars were the fastest?

How does Alonso make his team mates before worse? Vulcan mind control? How about the idea that Alonso makes them look like they perform worse because he smashes them so badly?

In all honesty I don't think these are at all examples of " but if they were together on track Grosjean had to concede position to Kimi, if he was behind Kimi he couldn't challenge him." In the first example, somebody had to get the parts first. It seems a no brainer to give it to the guy who is co...

It's not likely that either McLaren driver will be in the championship hunt, so no need to rush the drivers back from injury. In that case, he could take a sabbatical year then. I suspect that not everything is just fine, or otherwise he would not sit out the start of the season in the new car/team...

Saw this coming as soon as they announced Magnussen would be standing in in the final test. Obviously Alonso suffered a bad concussion, but as a hockey fan, I look at Marc Savard.
