BAR 006 - I have so many diecast models of this beauty

Charles Pic is an excellent driver, if he can get into a faster car people will start to see that. Give him space for his mistakes! He's a rookie after all! De la Rosa is a decent driver and good for HRT at this time. Karthikeyan has great speed and is not the nobody paydriver everyone says he is. S...

I often call him Alonslow because it`s silly. He`s easily the best driver on the grid but still fair game for a gherkin take. Not all knowlegable fans are humourless but others most definitely are. I`ve often wanted to start a silly names thread but figured it would get locked so havn`t bothered. I...

Mine: 1) I'm too nostalgic 2) I miss BAR and those red circles on the sidepods 3) I miss a time before Hamilton fans ruined everything 4) I miss Louise, Jenson's old GF, Jessica makes my blood boil 5) Love Jenson but no he's not as good as Hamilton. He's mighty good though! 6) Maldonado is special, ...

I think the problem with Kobayashi is that he has reached his natural level - he's a reasonably quick qualifier who is brilliant in races and possesses great racecraft but it adds up to a solid driver who anybody with a half decent car would be pleased to employ. Perez is more than that and he is ge...

Guia - That was 1992. This is 2012, F1 is a young man's game. If you haven't got a seat by 25/26 you're not getting one ever. Paffett's been McLaren's test driver since 2005, they've had Raikkonen go and didn't use him, Montoya go and didn't use him, Alonso go and didn't use him, Kovalainen go and d...

They are certain to be competitive in Singapore I think, Ferrari I have my doubts about because they're weren't quick in Hungary another traction and high downforce circuit.

I don't understand people that think Paffett would be a choice for the seat, he's 31 and has never raced in F1 and he never will

Out of those available to me I would choose Hulkenberg because he is improving race by race. It would be close between him and di Resta but I think he has more natural speed than di Resta and he's more a Hamilton type driver so would be a good replacement. I think putting Kimi in there is a no-go fo...

Ferrari wanted Massa to nurse his tyres so that Alonso could get past. Speaks volumes for the type of driver Alonso is. Come on, it just speaks volumes on what their positions are in the standings. Since the team orders are no longer restricted, what team would be stupid enough to let their drivers...

I dont think they are needed, as long as there are grid girls :P Pretty sexist attitude wouldn't you agree? If you think about what he is saying, it isn't really sexist. Women aren't NEEDED in motorsport because being female does not enable you to run an F1 team better than being a man. By the same...

Most by now will recognise I don't abide by society (and all it's manifestations) following only masculine energy. In theory, I should be supportive of feminine input on all levels of society. However, F1 is not about fairness and equality, it's about results. It has it's physical demands. Where I ...

They should be the best people regardless of gender. Sauber have demonstrated this with a team leader who seems second to none. Having said that, I am old school and still believe some jobs are better suited to men (as many are to women) but purely on a physique level. Applied power is always going...

I'm a button fan and there are still points on the table but I wouldn't be outraged if McLaren did sacrifice his hopes for Lewis now. It's the wise thing to do IMO

Yeah lost control at 190mph. Certain death

I think he will win it. That McLaren is the best car now and Alonso will need a much improved Ferrari if he wants to keep beating all the other guys

During SPEED's Monza race Bob Varsha quipped about some female steward and romanticized if only there were female mechanics and drivers "everything would be complete" or something along that line. Is Varsha aware of Maria and what happened July 3rd? It appears that men are no longer capable of perf...

Trade Hamilton for Rosberg! mix it up a bit. Who was the last German to driver for McLaren, Nico's Dad? I think Raikkonen could be a target if Hamilton leaves (although I don't believe at this point that he'll leave). Nicos dad is Finnish. Also didn't Rosberg only just sign a new contract with Merc?

LonsyDiaz

Kimi is far from my favourite but in races he's pretty fun when he's in the mood.

;) I agree... They don't show much love to Vettel either but LOVE Webber (I know he is not a Brit) Yeah but Australia's constitutional monarch is the Brit Queen ;) Yeah it's the same with the British fans, at the Grand Prix this year they went mad when Webber overtook Alonso because it meant a coll...

They all played politics, they all pulled bullshit, but Fernando hasn't, and probably won't hit a rival to gain an advantage Nope, he'll just require his teammate to either mysteriously crash or let him by. Thats a very ignorant opinion. You can have your own opinion about crashgate but the truth i...

There is a clear distinction between being ruthless on the track and slightly suspicious off of it. Alonso has never been a cheat on track, even the Hungary pit incident was a piece of tit for tat from an earlier Hamilton offence that of course most choose to ignore. Alonso on track is clean off tra...

I happily accept this month long lay off in return for a shorter off season! Also the mechanics are worked into the ground and they need those two weeks and I don't begrudge them it.

I believe the race you are thinking of was Bahrain 09'. Alonso was still "holding the wheel" after he was helped out of the car from being so dehydrated!! 8O 8O I was referring to Malaysia 2003 when Alonso had a virus and had to be cleared to race by the FIA medical team. I do remember Bahrain 2009...

Alonso got pole and his first podium in Malaysia whilst suffering from a Flu-like virus. He had to be given clearance to race by the medical team and you should see the pictures of him when he got out of the car. Also didn't Button have the runs last year in Sinagpore, he had to take special medicat...

I don't mean to be rude but I think you've failed to understand racing if you think drivers race better in the junior formulae. In the junior formula they learn their craft by trying those stupid moves that won't work. When they get to F1 they should be able to judge that pretty well and be consumma...

I have read the article and it's about Keke not Nico. The title is a little misleading really. What edd straw is getting at is that they are both opportunists and that it helped Rosberg win the mad 1982 season and it might help Alonso win the equally mad 2012 season. As drivers they're not similar a...
