Re: Sam Michael ???

I think he unsettled Mclaren, I have never seen them throw away an advantage like this. He will probably be gone or demoted at the end of the season, along with Whitmarsh, if the team under performs this season (a.k.a not win the WDC or WCC)

Re: Hamilton Witch-hunt

The FIA has made an example of Mclaren now, cars stopping on track after the race shouldn't be tolerated unless they can prove it's a mechanical problem, which would be dangerous.

Re: Hamilton stopping on the track - Excluded from qualifyin

I was wondering, what would happen if a team/driver got their Q3 time early in the session and then came in on fumes, put a few more litres in and then went round just so they had enough to get back to parc ferme with the requisite 3 litres? Clearly cheating but surely undetectable? That wouldn't b...

Re: Can Maldonado win tommorow?

Maldonado doesn't seem very strong in the races, he also makes a lot of mistakes under pressure. He seems a bit too hotheaded as well, with aggressive defending and making bad overtakes, which can get him penalties. I think Alonso has the best chance.

Re: Swap Mclaren and Redbull

Redbull's advantage last year was down to their blown diffuser, which they had perfected and built their car around. It was significantly harder for other teams to make their solutions as effective. This year, Mclaren's advantage seems to be in different areas of their car, which makes it a bit mor...

Re: Hamilton stopping on the track - Excluded from qualifyin

From now on, all cars that stop on track after the race, due to not having enough fuel, should get disqualified or put at the bottom of the standings. It would only be fair.

Re: Hamilton stopping on the track - Excluded from qualifyin

Completely undeserved, the stewards need to get a kick up their backsides. A 5 place drop, or the deletion of the fastest lap would have been enough.

Re: HRT big step forward

Good facilities doesn't necessarily mean that a team will improve, look at Caterham, they have hardly gone anywhere in 3 seasons, with their extremely good facilities. USF1 was supposed to have state of the art facilities, but they never even made it to f1 or managed to produce a car.

Re: Tires too demagable / delicate?

How about we just go back to 2005 tyre regs, and give each driver 1 set of ultra-hard tyres per race, with only changes allowed in special occasions. Then they would hardly have to pit at all, and the cars would be forced to pass each other on track. This situation is a difficult one to solve, I thi...

Timo could have won the 2009 Bahrain grand prix if Toyota didn't bottle their strategy.

Re: Great job by Red Bull boys

I'm sure that I remember quite a few people were fans of Narain a few years ago, and back in 2005 when he drove for Jordan, and actually did a decent job with the car.

He should be wary, Helmut Marko will get him fired if he interferes with Vettel's race.

Re: Race possibly cancelled...

I bet Bernie and the FIA are regretting holding this race now, they are getting so much negative publicity on the internet, especially with anonymous hacking the f1 website. At this rate, I don't see another Bahrain Grand Prix for at least 10 more years.

Re: Pirelli & Circuit of The Americas Take F1 on a US Tour

I'd kill to get a ride in that Ferrari 3 seater f1 car. Hopefully this will raise more awareness of f1 in the USA, so the Austin race can get a lot of support.
