I'm hoping we see Hamilton and Alonso competing against each other for their 3rd title next year. With Button, Rosberg, Ricciardo and Bottas mixed in as well.

I think he'll approach it simply. If his chariot blows up, it blows up. Lewis curses the racing gods and moves on. He'll then follow Rosberg and build a gap to the Williams and Red Bulls. Hamilton maintains a 1-2 second gap and stalks Rosberg waiting for him to make a mistake while leading. If he t...

Cars so dumbed down even he couldn't be competitive in one of the greatest cars of all time Exactly. Just like Villeneuve. When your F1 career fizzles out, criticize the hell out of it to try and make yourself look better. And why having said all this has he moved to the WEC which is 100 times wors...

Just watched the Murray Walker programme. No matter how many times I watch things like this, I still feel like the results will be different. I had forgotten that Glock was 'still doing perfectly fine sector times' on dry tyres in Brazil 2008 according to James Allen on the penultimate lap. Then Vet...

Someone who's not a greedy little dwarf, that's what F1 needs. Ecclestone is a big problem but the teams still have a lot of influence over things and are partly to blame for a lot of the problems. The trouble is, F1 is still a business and the teams are in there to make money. So when you have the...

We're probably in for a very boring race. I'll just be glad when it's over so we hopefully don't again have to go through the idea of one race being worth more points than any other. The championship would still have been going to the wire without it this year and a Hamilton car failure would still ...

It'll be the most boring, unimaginative livery possible, as usual!

The third car business, my original idea, which is what I stick to, is the manufacturer can do a deal with a team. Red Bull, if you like, could say to Caterham, you can have a car, you've got to run a driver of our choice in the car. You run the car. You still call it Caterham or whatever, and the ...

DC's take on Alonso's prospects.. "I don't know all the details of the situation that has led to Fernando Alonso apparently leaving Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel apparently joining - it all still needs to be officially confirmed - but if I believe the intelligence that has been gathered then it does...

Underviewer

There are two strange things that I can't get my head around. Why has Alonso said it will seem "obvious" when he announces it? And why can Vettel announce he is leaving Red Bull but not confirm where he's going? If Alonso signs for Mclaren, it won't seem obvious. And Vettel not being able to confirm...

Lets spend more money and overhaul the cars yet again! Because no one has ever been killed in a closed cockpit race car right.... I wonder what happens when the first guy gets seriously hurt in a closed cockpit F1 car. Maybe we'll just have the drivers control the cars remotely like drone pilots. I...

"So, when can build we build the track in the Ukraine?"

Underviewer

Seems a bit strange saying this after yesterday, but they continued to race under yellow (not double yellow from what I can see) flags with a car very near to the circuit, marshals standing near it and then a crane at the side of the track. I don't think that would be allowed to happen today.

Underviewer

There's damage all the way from the front of the car to the back. As if its gone right under the space between the back of the JCB and the ground. It does not look good. It's very difficult to see whether it was just the back of the car that went under it. Also, difficult to see whether they manage...

Underviewer

I can't believe Alonso will move to Mclaren. Mclaren are in a bad place and I can't believe they will improve next year. They are languishing in the midfield with a sponsor less car, no clear management and no clear design inspiration. Mercedes already have this generation of engine sorted out. Hond...

The world has been like this for the history of humanity. All these problems have been created by man and it will never change.

Underviewer

So if Ferrari couldn't use "multifunction strategy A" as a team order again for fear of it being seen as an engine setting. Back to "Fernando is faster than you" then. Although that could be seen as driving advice. "Get out of the f**** way" then, I suppose.

Marussia? That's that place where we're doing air strikes. I think your computers caught a virus, boy.

I feel he has already been given a pretty severe punishment by Mercedes - Toto Wolff and Niki Lauda have lambasted him in interviews with international media. This must have knocked him about a bit. As for an official punishment, I should think it'll be a fine.

Underviewer

Definitely the best thing to come out of the season. I expected him to be trounced by Vettel and his career to be ruined. Seems unreal that Ricciardo is the man after assuming Vettel would never have a team mate that would be able to challenge him on equal terms (going up against Alonso, Hamilton et...

Underviewer

I don't believe there is sabotage but Mercedes clearly have a reliability issue . It's something they can and should improve. It's not simply bad luck. It's not like Rosberg's car has been bulletproof either. They haven't had a good record with reliability over the past few seasons.

Underviewer

To be fair, Rosberg had to endure 4 pretty awful seasons with Mercedes to get this reward. Not to mention 4 dire seasons with Williams. A bit of perspective I suppose.

Underviewer

Hamilton committed a suicidal error of judgement. For a driver that supposedly never gives up, it was completely ridiculous. Very frustrating. The other two made mistakes that teams have made for years. Changeable conditions always throw up those situations.

Underviewer

Hamilton has cracked. Rosberg was right and we all knew it really. He starts doing stupid things, making mistakes and it all goes wrong. He has no chance winning this race. Another qualifying session where pole was easily obtainable and he's thrown it away.

You do know who's been beating who in the last 3 qualys and races ?

I mean Hamilton having to rely on Rosberg having DNFs.

Underviewer

When you have to rely on the other driver having DNFs, you are in a bad place. It is conceivable that Rosberg won't have any DNFs and Hamilton will have more. The thing that could realistically happen is Rosberg finishes out of the points or generally fails to score good points in more than one race...

Can't believe Mercedes managed to throw that pole position away.

I was never really 'into' F1 before 2007. I have to admit it was the emergence of Hamilton and the battle between him and Alonso in 2007 which captivated me. I too had an F1 game when I was younger. It was for the mega drive. When you crashed, your car was mysteriously lifted up and put back on the ...

The epitome of corruptness. A man supposedly on trial for a serious crime and a young guy whose done the whole drink/drugs driving thing (which F1 likes to give the impression it's against), together, wallowing in freedom and expense.

Underviewer

It will be interesting to see if Lewis can handle the situation. He's been trying to upset Rosberg and it hasn't worked. Lewis is the one with the history of an unstable temperament. The situation getting more heated between them can only work in Rosberg's favour. I don't think it's really a big de...

Why, exactly, did the yellow flags come out? I saw a small clip of it and he went quite a long way down the run off road. He seemed to be well off the track.

Of course, it'd be easy to be totally convinced that Ecclestone should 'go down' for the rest of his life after watching such a documentary. That was the aim of it. In reality, Ecclestone will come out untouched. He knew exactly what he was doing in all of these affairs and any trials and investigat...

what had me in stitches is coulthard saying drs not working on back straight when it was quite obvious that some clever drivers had worked out only to make use of the drs across the start finish line so as not to be re-overtaken He did say a few funny things today, actually.

I was thinking about this when they were keeping Hamilton up to date with the weather situation today. Kept imagining the next message being be to come in and put on the full wets and the nuclear fallout that would have ensued.

Underviewer

I'm interpreting the message to Massa as 'don't fight Bottas if he tries to pass', which Bottas didn't really do. I read the first message like that. I think Williams expected Bottas to try the overtake and were initially asking Massa to not defend too hard. But then when that didn't happen they ga...

The only engines I have heard 'live' at a race track are the V8s and to be honest I wasn't impressed by them at all. They didn't really have a 'gutteral' sound and were just loud (and not even as loud as I expected) because of the high revs. I can only imagine the old V12s and V10s would have been b...
