What type of engines are permitted in Indycar Formula these days? What configuration is the Chevy and who builds it? Any other engine-builders apart from Chevy and Honda? What are the power outputs? Honda surely learnt something from F1 and applied it to Indycars and voila... You can imagine the lo...

In MotoGP the Honda engine has always been either the best or 2nd best engine. Well, at least since the 90's with Honda dominating. Last year and this year its definitely not in the top2. Ducati and Yamaha considerably better (Top speed, acceleration, driveability, economy) brutally highlighted at ...

It seems that this year Ferrari is seriously and genuninely quick, the car appears to be very stable, very neutral and balanced, and apparently it should be a serious Merc treat for both titles. The Merc has not showed that stable in corners so far, whilst they still may have the best engine, they h...

It's just the highest form of recognition for what he actually achieved in the UK.

Honda engine has HUGE vibration problems, that translates into both lack of power and lack of reliability, and at the same time it causes electrical problems. Truly a disaster for Honda, they are looking like amateurs. I really can't assimilate how much they are messing up in this turbo era. I was g...

Unbelievable difference. I find it alarming that some people think these cars are just evolutions of last year's designs. These are different beasts. The sheer level of grip is on a completely different planet! There are multiple corners where Hamilton has to lift or downshift while Kimi takes them...

I dont get the "Sir" thing. What is this useful for? Being Sir or not is not important, the important is what you did and for what people remember you for.

In just about every team sport the best individual in the world can still not win if he doesn't have the team around him that enables him to shine. Oh really? If you are in a B-class football team you are forced to use crappy football boots compared to the best teams, so you can't win due to that? ...

RIP, pretty sure he will forever remain the only man to win in both bikes and cars

Having said that, any decent rider in that MV Agusta would win

Boots? The 11 players on the field are the product of the work of management and staff. And if 10 of those players are no better than B-class players, then Messi or Ronaldo will not win anything of note. Yeah, football boots, or football shoes. No matter the management and staff if you play footbal...

We have to wait and see, Honda really should get act together from here to mid season at most and produce finally a competitive PU, they have no excuses now, the token system is scrapped, they have the money, the resources and the facilities to do so. If they keep on being crap througout the year, M...

You know what I mean... Alonso has changed teams 5(five) times(do you prefer this version? :) ) If you keep moving how do you expect to catch the good things? That's essentially the story of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Why should Mercedes or RedBull hire Alonso when they know that if they produce bad cars ...

Renault have shown time and time again that they know what they're doing. Honda on the other hand... ...

I wonder how the heck do Honda test their engines at the Sakura facilities. How can they manage to screw up so many times despite their massive resources...? They supposedly test and develop their engines all the time, but when they hit the track, they fail. Worst testing methods and techniques ever...

The most practical approach is to wait till Melbourne before resigning! I feel this year would be great. Sure, wait and see, but all the signs go towards to a far more boring F1. And I blame many fans for this... they wanted faster cars... so now we will have them surely... Fast cars doing fast pro...

Voted Toro Rosso, Renault and Sauber because they look cool and new.
About the McLaren one I have mixed feelings but I think it's far better than last years one too.

Oh, and in case someone didnt notice, Ferrari has no longer the Red/White livery and has gone back to a more traditional all red one.

Both quantity and quality... When you have quantity, you have quality aswell, you will always have some quality overtakes and some bad ones. Those are complementary and not mutually exclusive

I prefer the previous one, honestly... now it looks like a boring mixture of the previous mclaren livery and the marussia livery of some years ago

Ugliest. Car. Ever.

Poor Fred.

FA couldn't care less if its ugly

I dont think its ugly, its similar to last year's one (decent looking car shapes) but with a less boring livery

Ugliest one by far I think its the Ferrari with those really weird sidepod intakes

After so many years speculating with orange McLaren and ending up in nothing, didnt see that coming.

2013 Raikkonen /Lotus-Renault Australian GP 2016 Ricciardo/Red Bull-Renault Malaysian GP Those are not midfield cars at all. Second best car in those seasons. The 2013 Lotus was close at 2nd place with the Mercedes, but I'd say it was definitely better overall than the Ferrari given the results of M...
