Toto is better Lauda than Lowe. Hurry Brawn, he's waiting there for you.

Erm, The Webber overtake ignoring team orders? For me in my humble opinion, that's a fault.

That image of Vettel kneeling and bowing to his Red Bull through the tyre smoke and haze in India should be THE image of this era of F1 racing. It had an artist quality. I'm definitely NOT a Vettel fan but I must admit I liked that gesture. It showed an appreciation of the kind of machine he has bee...

I think it's on BT Sport next year. I guess the BBC don't choose the camera angles, but I got really annoyed with the director solely focusing on the leading trio/duo when there was a great battle going on with Rossi/Crutchlow/Bautista. Hardly saw any of that. Rubbish. Agree that the whole thing was...

Vettel. Where's the option?

Benici

How we use those term or understand those terms is up to us. I think people should focus more on the point connected than the supposed isms attached. No, it gets to the mentality involved. People reference hip hop and rap as slights as a mask for racial bias. You might think that a reach, but any b...

I'm starting to think that Cal's move to Ducati could be quite well timed. Audi acquired Ducati in the middle of last year so I doubt that changes they implemented back then would have had much impact on the bike that is now being ridden by Dovi and Hayden. It was too soon. The 2013 bike was probabl...

Benici

I find all this talk of Cal "selling out to Ducati" quite annoying. He's a MotoGP rider. How long do you think that kind of job can last? If I was offered the chance of a vastly improved salary still doing the same job, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Yamaha have already said to him that a works seat is...

We know that Lewis cant develop the car like Alonso and Vettel.

This is hilarious. What a fact. This should be in the 2013 edition of the Book of World Facts. That's a fact.

so much hate here... First of all - he is not returning. He said that he is going to enjoy exactly what he likes - riding MotoGP bike. There is no mention of missing any MotoGP racing and competition. Those who started to attack him immediately in this thread should've read news more carefully. :th...

I'm in England, I'm working outside and the sun is shining. Believe me, this is awesome.

Benici

Better still, Imagine Ricciardo been given the multi 119 call and ignoring it to win the race. Red Bull then destroy his contract and he moves to McLaren bringing them an instant improvement to their terrible results and wins the WDC. Seems You've drunk a few pints of Fosters already! :lol: English...

To really spice up this championship I'd love to see both Mercs and Webber on the podium and a Vettel retirement. That would set the scene for a great end to the season.

Benici

On a serious note, perhaps in the future, when medical technology allows blind people to see with the aid of cameras and nerve impulses then this type of helmet could become a reality.

Benici

I missed the practice sessions - what did Mercs long run pace look like?

Benici

What the hell is up with Ferrari?? Did they forget to install the engines before qualifying??

Benici

I think it starts at 14:00 uk time. Don't quote me on this. It's on the BBC red button channel

Fantastic pole by Crutchlow! Lorenzo may not have been there but he still beat the Hondas and Rossi. Now if he can just keep it on the tarmac tomorrow.... Looks like Lorenzo will be in the race tomorrow if he passes the medical (though not sure what kind of medical it is that passes someone who was ...

Benici

I reckon he'll just be out for this weekend. The surgeon will pin his collarbone together this weekend and he'll be back for the next race. Doesn't at all mean that Pedrosa has got the championship sewn up (pun unintended). Lorenzo is nothing if not consistent.

Benici

FP1 has just finished and it was 1. Lorenzo 2. Crutchlow 3. Marquez Good last lap from Crutchlow and again showing why he should have that Yamaha seat if Rossi walks at the end of the season (IF). Rain looks like it could affect FP2 so this practice session could be important for who gets in to Q1 a...

Hi everyone, I'm attending the Belgian Grand Prix in August and would like some advice regarding campsites. Unfortunately the Eau Rouge campsite is fully booked and we're having trouble contacting the Elephant campsite to confirm the booking we made via their website. Has anyone got any recommendati...

Benici

The first race of the season looked like it was going to promise an exciting season, but the races that have followed haven't lived up to it. Shame about Cal falling - he was on a bit of a roll and I think he could have kept up with the Hondas.

Benici

I'd like to see big red boxing gloves randomly punch out from the wall of champion a la Total Wipeout. That should spice things up a little.

Benici

That was a very lucky escape for Marquez - to crash at that speed and not be seriously hurt. Painful one for Bradley Smith too. It looked like his hand got trapped under his bike after he high-sided. The Yamahas and Ducatis look on much better form too - could be the damp track conditions favouring ...

Benici

Anyone looking forward to the Italian MotoGP at Mugello this weekend? I really like the track and I'm hoping that the factory Yamahas can be a bit more competitive against the Hondas this weekend. They need to sort out that horsepower deficiency. Also, I'm looking forward to (and hoping for) another...

I've heard them a few times now on Planet Rock, and have to say I like what I've heard!!

Tyres playing too big a role. I want to see aggressive driving rewarded. Not punished. It's like watching tight-rope walking at the moment.

Benici

For me Crutchlow is the class of the field after the top three Spaniards. But it looks increasingly like Yamaha have lined up Espargaro for his ride in 2014, anyone know why? I'm starting to think team bosses have a blindspot when it come to Cal, that they somehow can't see how good he is. He's got...

RIVAL SONS. I've been getting very depressed at the lack of decent rock n roll bands around at the moment, until I heard these guys.

All is not lost! Check them out - awesome stuff.

It could be an exciting race today. The track looks like it's a bit more suited to the Yamahas than Austin was. Lorenzo looks very strong as usual. And with Crutchlow looking promising in qualifying (until he crashed) and getting 4th, hopefully we'll see him and Rossi pressing hard on the Hondas.

Benici

Just before the start of the race I get a dryness of the throat. Then a bit of dizziness, together with an itchy rash. Finally severe muscle spasms followed by the inevitable drooling.

I think the real question is who are the number 2 drivers? I've heard that Massa, Webber and possibly Rosberg are in this category.

I've been thinking about DRS recently - when it was introduced I thought it was a fairly simple and effective way to spice up races. Now I getting a little tired of it.

I would love it if they got Lewis back to do a quick voiceover where his old character forgetfully turns up at work at the MTC and then has to sneak off and pretend nobody noticed - ie. a nod to 'that pitstop'.
