I think it is Hamilton's to lose but my concern is that due to problems yesterday all the setup changes he made to the car have not been tested in the dry. The race will be the first time. This car can be set up for full wet and still be fastest by second in dry. Seriously, they can just copy/paste...

Kevin McDonald

I think if it stays dry Rosberg will get ahead of Vettel and Ricciardo quite easily with Hamilton building a gap too big for Rosberg to bridge. Is there any chance of rain?

Also, it'll be interesting to see if Alonso has the pace to mix it with the RBs - given how strong Ferrari looked in P1 and P2.

Kevin McDonald

.... but I think Nico is now over-rated 'cos he's close to Lewis. .... But now he's in by far the best car, Lewis reputation has suddenly increased - and the same has happened to Nico. This is what it is. I STRONGLY believe Hulk en berg is better than both of them and also even Kimi/Alo/RoGro too (...

Kevin McDonald

The FW-14B had an even bigger advantage on the field and it did not win every race. This track suited Mercedes more than most others due to the straights. At Barcelona the Red Bulls will be much closer. I would agree with you, but the laps after the safety car give me doubts. I dont think anybody c...

Kevin McDonald

As a Rosberg fan, I must say congrats Lewis. What a drive at the end there!

Kevin McDonald

This is so unfair on Nico. He still had his run on the faster tyre to do.

It was bad, but that's an overreaction. The car shouldn't have flipped like that. Plus, I think you being a Hamilton fan has got a bit (by a bit I mean a lot) to do with your outburst.

Kevin McDonald

Safety car please.

I think this is showing that Hulkenberg is not as good a widely thought; Perez looks equal - if not better - here. Or on his good days Perez really is as good as he was showing back in 2012... I think the Force India has been the 3rd best car on average so far this year. That's why I haven't found ...

C'mon Rosberg!

So many idiots around here, RIC is obviously on the quicker tyre. So much for RB always favouring VET. I don't understand it why the phrase it like that. Instead of "Vettel we're on different strategys don't hold him up" Anybody with half a brain would recognise that Vettel is on the mediums and RI...

The question I always ask myself when I see women getting involved in F1 is: If it was a man with the same credentials, would he be given the same opportunities? The answer in this case, is no. How is that equality? We're actually swinging to the opposite side now.

This was discussed but the teams didn't like the proposal as it would impact the aerodynamics massively in a season already packed with other unknowns. http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2013/08/f1-teams-relief-as-pirelli-decides-against-changing-2014-tyre-size/ Did not Mercedes later in the season ask ...

Kevin, your photo isn't showing for me. I'm not sure how to post images properly; I just uploaded the image to twitter, selected the 'img' setting and put in the link. Anything wrong there? Copy my code (you can see it if you quote it) Thanks, well here's my image: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/552...

As I've just gotten my first 'proper' camera and we've been messing about in my photography class with light painting I thought I'd try something cool with a trophy. Hope it fits into the theme.

I too think Hulk is too high, I would put him level with Grosjean this season. Other than that I dont see much that I disagree with. Though I dont see why VDG deserves to be higher than Massa. Agreed. I mean, Hulk was only ahead of Di Resta by a couple of points in what could be said to be a near e...

Kevin McDonald

I voted: Chilton, Kobayashi and van der Garde. Although, if I were to vote on who deserves it, I would vote: Di Resta - has shown this year that he has improved since his rookie year and does not deserve to be ousted, particularly when Sutil has just landed the Sauber seat; Kobayashi - slightly behi...

Kevin McDonald

Haha, well, another case of some important person related to F1 praising Alonso, and attributing Vettel's victories on the car/team... and of course some members of the anti-Alonso brigade came in already thinknig they know better than Kubica. Maybe, just maybe, they do; by your reasoning, does tha...

Why is the push to pass so powerful? An extra 90hp is not much in terms of F1 were they have around 700hp but when the cars only have 180 (during the race) it's going to make passing a non-event.

Kevin McDonald

You should know that the writer of the article is extremely pro-Hamilton so according to him, little 'lew-lew' can do nothing wrong. I have noticed Hamilton's fans criticising Bottas for trying to unlap himself but were also criticising Vettel last year when Hamilton was unlapping himself. The hypoc...

Kevin McDonald

Not that I would miss him much but it would be quite silly if he goes and Sutil would stay. But I can understand that he is getting fed up with F1 where lately not the best drivers are getting sponsorship. Wish him luck if he goes to do Indy. Imagine if he teams up with Rubens :) The fact they want...

I did an essay on the environmental impact of motor-sport (not just F1) for a school project; I had very similar findings to the OP. F1 is a world-wide sport and as long as this fact remains, F1 will not be environmentally friendly. Although in itself it's is not environmentally friendly, the design...

Kevin McDonald

I wonder how competitive he would be if he went there. I think he would be champion within a few years but I still don't understand why Sutil is being put before Di Resta.

Kevin McDonald

When Hamilton has more points but less wins: points matter. When Hamilton has less points but more wins: wins matter.

Kevin McDonald

Everyone requested those changes after the numerous tyre blow-outs; they had to be made. Red Bull and Vettel have adapted best to the changes; it's not their fault, neither is it Pirelli's.

Kevin McDonald

Valteri didn't get all he could've out the car this weekend; he really messed up in Q3 and that hindered him in the race. But, overall this season I would say Valteri has looked better but it's hard to say since there has been very little coverage of Williams due to their lack of performance. Valtt...

Kevin McDonald

He's not exactly flying ahead of Rosberg this weekend so far; could not have made much of a difference. In fact, Rosberg's looking a couple of tenths quicker so far.

Kevin McDonald

Is this not a missed opportunity for Nico? I only see it as a win-win for him. If he does he well, he puts himself right in line for the seat and if doesn't do so well, it will just be said he didn't have enough time to adapt.

Kevin McDonald

I cannot see why anyone would pick Sutil over Di Resta; he's slower (on race pace, qualifying-wise they're on par imo), older and has only 60% of the points Di Resta has. I know Di Resta can be vocal about the team but I would rather somebody vocal who can deliver results than a yes-man who doesn't....

But to be honest, Sutil has had some impressive drives around Monaco, and I've not seen any Di Resta performance like that.

What about Singapore '12 and Bahrain '12 and '13?
