The fear that Honda goes to Torro Rosso, and then magically Red Bull has a works deal needs examining. It may appear unfair to Mclaren, but isn't Mclaren's lack of due diligence on picking an engine partner, and subsequent hands in pocket approach also partly to blame? If Red Bull gets that engine p...

What's the verdict? Did Kubica do enough to stake a claim?

It's all going to go there in my lifetime. UK has been new petrol & diesel car sales from 2040 onwards, I believe some other countries are being even more aggressive than this. How do people who live in cities use electric cars? It's very easy to charge a car when all you have to do is drive up to ...

Yeah I don't think Vettel crumbled at all this weekend, he had a bad start and made a pretty ham fisted go at getting rid of Verstappen before his first stop, and that pretty much screwed his race from there on in. Raikonnen looked like the Kimi of old, and had Vettel's number all race. He was only...

It's a bit interesting that British commentators and Hamilton fans you can't separate them, they come up with ridiculous arguments that you just have to laugh. Case in point the qualifying lap, compare and contrast how its being talked about HAM v BOT and VAN v ALO almost same gap but had Alonso no...

Hamilton is stating that the team didn't inform him about Grosjean approaching: https://www.motorsportweek.com/news/id/15312 Just like unsafe releases the team/driver have to get penalized. Man, was really looking forward to the race now it's going to be a fairy cakes. Who here likes 'chip on shoul...

I wonder how many people who were up in arms about FIA going soft on a WDC contender in Austria will have the exact same/opposite reaction now. It was wrong to consider WDC status in Austria, it's wrong now. Not to forget the precedent they're setting with these actions. I would be very surprised i...

No penalty for Hamilton: http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/355893/ That sets a bad precedent. Jordan, Susie Wolff, Coulthard and Symonds thought it wasn't impeding. I know they are British so there is bias there, but I've seen far worse blocking than what Lewis did. I want to see Lewis vs Seb tomo...

The 'impeding' looks a lot worse from this angle: https://streamable.com/anz6j Yikes... oh well - this will be another Seb sailing into the distance whilst Lewis finishes behind Danny Ric in fourth place. He could get a penalty and he will have himself or engineer to blame for not giving him good g...

Great performance by Lewis but he should of aborted that lap and let Rogro go. 5 place grid pen. Congrats Seb Vettel - 5 time world champion.

Raikkonen is past it... Is it really that hard to see?

Would Mclaren Honda be allowed to do the following? 1) Withdraw from this season in F1. 2) Rent out Suzuka from now until the end of the year. Owned by a subsidiary of Honda. 3) Do unlimited testing 4) Come back next year with a better car/engine package. This would save them the public relations di...

Fantastic! This will set a trend for other current and ex F1 drivers to follow.

Point on Perez overtake of Massa. Glad they didn't penalize that. That does set a precedent for the rest of the season! Have at it!

Same day highlights on Youtube - Finally a management team that understands social media. F1 is entering a golden age. They have the right leadership to make the sport larger and more satisfying to the fans than ever before. If they can do the same with archived footage and have some sort of 'WWE N...

The VSC allowed everybody to hit the crossover point without too much of a penalty. Ferrari/Vettel nailed it. The SC then punished everybody who got it right. It would be interesting to see when the crossover point was - but hard to do without seeing the deltas. Was Vettel catching up like 1 second...

Perhaps the powers that be should relax the in-season testing ban this year to give Honda a real shot at catching up on the engine front. The other teams at the front can benefit too and I think it will be a boon to Ferrari/Red Bull in particular. Would hate to see one our great drivers walking away...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/39290908 Surely not. At least wait until the FIA do that measurement over the first three races. If Honda really are that far away then who knows what will happen. I don't know what kind of dispensation they could realistically get(If any) that wouldn't upset the...

They couldn't even get their own team to work in early 2000's and collapsed in 08.' Honda are shambolic. Nando should of jumped at the Merc drive with both arms.

Merc- 100 laps...

I'm not sure how to feel about this. A team made to promote Italian drivers only seems unfair.

Martin Brundle mentioned something about F1 drivers having to resort to karting in season because of a ban on in season testing and how this could have something to do with Nico calling it a day. Anyone have more info on this? I didn't realize F1 drivers were having to stay sharp using karting as a ...

At the risk of throwing a Pigeon into a flock of Cats... One wonders if three years with team mate who constantly trips over his bottom lip, serially disrespects his peers and is truly the very definition of classless, contributed to Rosberg's decision whatever, long life and happiness Nico, you've...

If Alonso, I can see him retiring if he gets the championship at the first shot. He may retire if he loses. Would be epic 10 years later same team.

shay550

Classy move!

Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, and Raikkonen should take note. They have nothing left to prove.

Time to make room for fresh talent.

Congrats to Nico. Lewis had a pretty great season - Monaco, Silverstone, and Brazil were great victories. Glad he overcame the start issues eventually. This experience will actually increase his legacy. People will look back on this dominant time and compare it to the Prost/Senna days of yesteryear....

Outside of the spin - Fernando was solid, and he had a great comeback drive to claim a point.

1. Hamilton
2. Verstappen
3. Perez
4. Alonso

Championship advantage Nico if race is flagged off.

If Renault are truly a works team - the decision to retain Palmer puzzles me? But yeah, the car has been crap so maybe he is entitled to another shot.

I guess the F1 side of it must be running on budget constraints...

Farcical penalties.

shay550

49 wins and counting , higher than any other current driver - yeah he's a car breaker.
