So in a season that has the potential for plenty of "firsts" what will we actually see first.

If you want something added to the poll please let me know

After watching the clip of Hunt punching out a track marshall for trying to help him I can never respect him. What a tool

Easily Lauda

Wickens is the best we have. Shame he doesn't have enough financial backing to make it into F1

TheDamus

My god that was incredible. What an finish!!!! Thanks for sharing that with me. Never saw it.

Hamilton for me. Yas Marina has always been a good track for him. On top of that he was 0.4 up on the time before his car broke on his final flying lap. His biggest issues have been in races where his tires just crap out easily during overtaking. The tires seems a bit more durable than usual this we...

To clarify a statement that seems to have gotten a few comments. I wont say that we shouldn't have/don't need artificial enhancement. I just don't believe that what we have in DRS and the degrading tires are the way to go. I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying they didn't get it right. In addi...

Would love to have some insight into this. Lets start off with the financial state of F1. We are currently on the verge of having three if not more teams about of go belly up. We all know Lotus and Sauber are wickedly behind on their bills. Some reports have them each in the whole well over $100 mil...

TheDamus

Yes, but I doubt they are the only ones.

Canada
China
Brazil

I voted the three engine works teams. Seems a safe bet. McLaren also doesn't have a great driver at the moment.

Also, to the fan that thinks this is the most boring season. Did you watch 2011?

TheDamus

I think F1yer is referring to the LH line took through Eau Rouge(?). They showed a replay on my broadcast, and the commentators said LH missed his line, and that was what allowed SV to pass. How would that have had any effect on the outcome of that 1st lap? If you look at the sector times and the s...

TheDamus

Hamilton made a mistake otherwise we could have seen a very different result. Care to explain the thinking in this? Basically this is the type of opinion I can't understand. No amount of perfect driving can equal a 2 second gap after the 1st lap. All you could do is block to the point of destroying...

TheDamus

Personally I think they should make ALL runoff area some surface that ,while safe, just makes your car stuck so bad it isn't moving. Give 2ft of a surface that slows you badly and then something that is worse than gravel. That would make for interesting racing! The reliability issue sucks from the p...

I'm going to try and remain as nonpartisan as possible in this. If it helps to place me, I am a Force India fan. Hopefully people can give me some mature intelligent responses on this and not just their typical fanboy/girl answer. I noticed reading some posts regarding the Spa qualifying that many p...

TheDamus

Just like to say that was easily my favourite qualifying of the year. So entertaining. As a Force India fan especially I was at the edge of my seat.

Great entertainment guys!

TheDamus

I give it to Vergne by a small margin to be honest. I just find him a more consistent driver. Good race pace as well. I would be curious if he were to finish the season with double or more points above Ricciardo. Then what does Red Bull do?

TheDamus

In a sense, Spa is the start to the second half of the season, it is like a fresh start since all teams have had a month to refine and develop their cars. But this period of time is where they have the opportunity to fully digest the data from the YDT test and refine their cars. Mercedes have out-p...

Sebastien Bourdais in an F1 car?

TheDamus

How this isn't a 100% for Vettel is beyond me. He set the fastest time but sessions and had comments like "It is nice to be able to play around with the car". That to me says he can still go MUCH faster. Also, we know Mercedes don't do well in the heat. If they don't set up their car to minimize the...

TheDamus

My guess is Korea and New Jersey

TheDamus

So as terrible as this is. If Sauber folds before the season ends does that mean Marussia will survive, much to the chagrin of Bernie? 10th place pays. His words. Now if Sauber fold and still have points will they be awarded the cash even if they can't finish the season? It would breach the concord ...

TheDamus

I really hope they stay in front of McLaren. Force India has been my favourite team for a few years now. It would be so amazing to see them finally finish in front of a "big" team. Perhaps next year we will finally see some Force India gear for sale in Montreal as well. I would say that Spa will be ...

TheDamus

I chose Force India, Mercedes and Ferrari. I would have preferred Toro Rosso over Ferrari as my 3rd choice though. Force India: While a consistently good team from year to year this year they can bang with the best most of the time. Mercedes: They went from having a dog of a car to one that the driv...

TheDamus

Webber is my first choice as he seems like a pretty cool guy. I bet he has some stories to share that others would have kept private.

Bruno Senna seemed like a super nice guy as well. Though I never cared for his driving.

TheDamus

I am first a Force India fan. Doesn't matter who the drivers are I will always support them. Beyond that I like Hamilton and support him despite what team he will drive for. Any time they get in the way of each other it kills me.

TheDamus

I don't really agree that Canada was dull at all. Vettel's romp to victory aside. Look beyond who was in the lead and I feel it was quite eventful. It was arguable the first race of the year that cars were racing flat out the entire time from lights to flag. It was good to see Lewis back on form and...

TheDamus

I sat at the exit of the hairpin. The Ferrari did seem more harsh to me. The Mercedes were very quiet compared to the rest. Same with the Marussia to an extent. Also, the Caterham would backfire (I assume that was what it was doing) more often than not once getting on the power. Those were the bigge...

It's super last minute, but does anyone have any suggestions for decently priced accommodations that are near the Montreal GP or at least near a metro line? I had a place to stay, but an emergency on their end makes that no longer an option. I've seen one or two almost decently priced hotels, but t...

I apologize if this was asked earlier but that is a lot of thread to read. Does anyone know if they used a special gear box and engine for it? While I won't deny that they would have gained something from this test will it not have hurt their engines and gear box supply? Also, I wasn't able to find ...

Poor Hamilton. Everyone has him falling way back. Webber just can't start a race so he goes down as well.

TheDamus

If they are smart they will. If they do not have race pace again and don't allow one driver to gain a lead the first faster car to pit behind them into clean air will just jump them in the pits. Ferrari is looking very fast yet again. Their race pace is the best on the grid. Given the amazing starts...

TheDamus

Force India has been my favourite team for years now with Sutil being in my top 3 drivers. When I go the the Canadian GP I will be sporting their colours. They will score a podium this year only with trouble up front unfortunately though. I would love for them to beat McLaren as well. That may be to...

TheDamus

I really like the Lotus team. I feel they deserve having a top driver after losing Kubica. They deserve to win the WDC. Kimi is the man to do that for them.

TheDamus

I look forward to the Monaco GP less and less each time I watch it. Bit by bit the unique nature of the track gets lost on me. Lost in the boring racing. If I recall correctly last year there were 9 overtakes in the race. Think about this number. We see 9 overtakes per lap on certain tracks. I appre...

Hello forum. I'm going to the GP in Montreal coming up shortly. I have never been to a race or to Montreal. I am going alone as nobody I know likes F1. I had to go before the V8's go away though. Just wondering if anyone going would care to meet up for a few drinks after the race? Perhaps have some ...

For 2013: 1. Hamilton to win in Canada because I will be there. 2. Force India to win a race. They deserve it like no other. Will be hard without Hulkenberg though. 3. Hulkenberg to win in Brazil. 4. Kimi to win WDC. 5. As many different winners as we had last year. 6. Steward rulings that are consi...

Just got my ticket to the Montreal GP, Grandstand 24. First live race. So excited I can hardly sleep. As none of my friends have any love of F1 at all I am going alone to both Montreal and the GP. Had to go before the engine regulations change. Hotels for one are a bit pricey though. Does anyone hav...

Hello fellow race fans. F1 fan from Canada here. Been watching F1 for 8 or 9 years. Been what you could call a diehard fan for the last 5. Been a long time lurker. My favourite team is Force India.
