What kind of people have the crazy idea in holding a major sports event in a country that has a history to fund militant groups, harboring criminals wanted by the USA, and having a fraudulent cleric (The Iran's version of "THE FURHER") making decisions for the people? I WOULD NOT GO THERE!!!!!! I A...

The likelihood is the livery will be exactly the same save for the chrome being a grey/silver instead. It's nothing too drastic according to Adam Cooper.

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/118793 More to a Mercedes shade of grey. I thought they were set to go back to red-white. They've never looked close to going back to red and white. That was Marlboro. Dennis already said McLaren is Black, Silver and neon red so I don't know why anyone wo...

No grid girls then ?

Or any female team personnel allowed to attend. That's a major problem.

Niki Lauda is now saying, after claiming it'd be all sorted before Spain, that Hamilton contract could be signed at the Monaco weekend. Yet another delay. Must be some really long short stuff to sort out...

Laura23

Ok genuine question,

Stick Hamilton in the Ferrari and Vettel in the Merc this year and who would be leading the WDC?

Laura23

Vettel could have had the same record. Nope. No way he was going to win anything in that 2007 STRF or his first and only race in the Beemer. The only "stat" up for grabs for those who started off in backmarkers is winning in a car that doesn't finish in the top 5 of the WCC - so Vettel and others h...

2002, Coulthard won Monaco.

He was in 2004, 2012 and 2013 as well.

Laura23

Taking the wins single-handedly for your team at a given season is a massive accomplishment for the winning driver. I still remember the smiles of Olivier Panis (Monaco 96) and Montoya (Brazil 2004 podium). Yep, the win that Schumi got for Ferrari in '05 was HUGE! ;) Yep, Bridgestone is not to blam...

The McLaren F1 was ugly IMO. The P1 beats it on looks in every single area.

As for that Ferrari F40, if it isn't red I'm not interested in it.

That was ruled out last year. There's no chance that'll happen now.

Yes, 1974.

Not going to happen. Sepang is mooted to move to later in the year like it was in it's first couple of seasons . China will be on Apr 10th a week after Oz. Really? never heard of this recently. So would it be then a back-to-back race between Singapore GP and Malaysia GP? Yup. Logistically it'd make...

I never liked Senna when watching him in the same way I didn't like MS after various incidents made it clear he was no sportsman. However, suggesting either wasn't a great driver is wrong - and they both had talents and skills - including being able to inspire their team - that were remarkable. How...

Laura23

Irvine would have won the WDC in 1999 - granted with MS out - but with just one awful pitstop (where they only brought out 3 tyres and had to wait a lifetime for the 4th tyre to arrive) - and would have won regardless if Ferrari hadn't required EI to move aside for one race earlier in the season co...

Not to any true F1 FAN nor anyone who supports honest and open racing So sorry you are not a true F1 fan Laura and apparently you support cheating? Thankfully it isn't for you to decide if I'm an F1 fan or not. That's for me to decide. Schumacher won 7 titles. Fact. If you can't accept that then th...

Laura23

Err - MS' first title doesn't count - the car was illegal, fuel rigs were illegal (both of which should have got the TEAM disqualified), the team lied about this (another reason the TEAM should have been disqualified) and then MS deliberately drove into Damon Hill in Australia to ensure DH didn't o...

Vettel.

Laura23

I don't get where Ron is going with that because Ferrari have won 8 WCC in the last 16 years. McLaren have won 0. In fact McLaren have only won a single WCC since 1991, just one in 24 years. To me that makes it abundantly clear McLaren struggle to make everything sync together as a complete unit. B...

My personal opinion is that the deal with Mclaren was well and truly done when he parted ways with Ferrari, probably the only reason for not making it public sooner was because Mclaren did not know who was going to partner Alonso at the time and the situation dragged on seemingly for ages giving ri...

I wouldn't get too fussed about it at this stage. Nothing has been confirmed and everything could change by November.

Let's not forget that Alonso left Ferrari when the engines were supposed to stay completely frozen. And then not long after his departure, suddenly manufacturers are allowed to improve/develop the engines further. Alonso left when the situation was that the final 2015 PU's would be the 2014 PU's wi...

Mick has certainly inherited his fathers luck . I watched the stream of the race and Mick looked like he was going to be caught, tha gap dropped from 2.3 to 0.3, and pa!ssed but the safety car came out with 4 mins on the clock and the race finished behind the safety car can you really say that afte...

A lot of the board certainly would be up for it but until they pull back in other formula then it won't be happening anytime soon. They did look into the buying out Red Bull idea but it proved fruitless and never really all that serious. If VW enter F1 it will be under the VW brand to begin with at ...

Yeah, Villeneuve is so smart, talking after the events passed. I suppose he doesnt think the same for his move Williams -> BAR. While we may all ridicule him he is well placed to pass judgement on Honda and their work ethic. He has experience of a gamble that went horribly wrong. After all in 1999 ...

It looks as if Mclaren made lot of ground but if you take big picture they are fighting mid filed for points at best. FI finished 8th and 13th and Alonso finished 11th. In Bahrain everyone were close. Anyhow I can't see them getting any top5 finish this year. May be if they make huge stride like Fe...

You realize that BAR actually became Honda for a while? Also, I was talking about the engines. Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that the current program is a disaster. Now Boullier is saying that they won't be competitive till end-2016. That's just wrong. So wrong. And with the engine formula c...

I don't understand the 'we'd expect more from Honda' line of thought, their last involvement in F1 was a decade long and they were rubbish. Yeah.

Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso both agree that the Monaco GP could give McLaren Honda its best opportunity for a good result in the near future. http://adamcooperf1.com/2015/04/22/bahrain-was-first-clean-race-with-rbr-says-kvyat/ Which suggests they don't expect much in a normal race in the near...

More danger, get rid of the FIA. The last thing we need is more danger. Suzuka 2014 should have taught everyone that. Viewing figures went up after Imola 1994 - I would argue that the presence of danger made F1 and that it without it it's no more compelling than snooker. We don't need a driver dyin...
