Ross Brawn thinks it's illegal, but says other teams more bothered about it than Merc. Ted replies that the FIA are starting to lean towards the other teams and not RBR. This story could become huge if they do protest and the protests are upheld. Except that it has already been questioned and passe...

Brawn said that they questioned the design in Barca...but were told it was a clever interpretation...

Now other teams are complaining...sounds like it will stand as another Newey loophole

Agreed...storm in a teacup then..

An attempt from the "big boys" to try to bully an opponent. That's how I'm reading it.

Newey is a smart guy..

Ummmm....Senna in Japan 1991...but then he gave that race win to his good mate, Mr Gerhard Berger

Rain forecast, Grosjean to lead, Senna to catch him at 4 seconds per lap before the race is stopped with Senna just a few seconds behind

Hearing reports of a possible protest against RBR Anything to do with Vettel's car having it's exhaust config changed back to something resembling Mark's, post qualy? All I've heard so far is it's something to do with the floor. I suppose that may include exhaust config. Trying to think of rules pe...

It's becoming pretty clear to me that Seb really needs good rear end grip to make a car work, and when he's got it he's untouchable. In comparison, Mark seems to be able to drive around such problems when they arise. FWIW I think Webber's qualy time at Monaco is much more impressive than either of t...

Barring Prost he wasn't beaten, but lets take a look at Senna's other team mates: 1984: Johnny Cecotto, Pierluigi Martini, Stefan Johansson 1985: Elio de Angelis 1986: Warwick vetoed as team mate, replaced with the Earl of Dumfries. 1987: Satoru Nakajima 1990-2: Gerhard Berger 1993: Michael Andrett...

Must have been a monumental effort to put together...Great race too, except Senna should have won

Nah, I agree with Keke on this one. Schumi's effort at La Rascasse in 2006 was worse...because it was very low speed and not even intentional

A 10 place grid penalty, well that's just wonderful. A driver who behaves perfectly around his rivals but uses more than his engine allocation gets treated the same as a driver who repeatedly rams his rivals. If Maldonado had done this to Grosjean, Pic or Vergne in Q3 I'm sure he would not have got...

Just to clarify, I'm not "playing the game", so to speak - I was only trying to show that out of people's opinions and statistics, only one is FACT.

Rosberg to win tomorrow after a poor start from Webber...game over

purchville

Seb is still a very good driver, no doubts. It will be interesting to see if he can overtake cars on the track tomorrow. For a good points haul he will need to, but Fernando starts well ahead of him so could well lead the championship after Monaco. Mark's quali lap was superb...and quite unexpected ...

F1 has enough stars now to do without Schumacher. Especially when a so called "star" calls another driver an idiot after his mistake..a bad look for F1.

He has had 2 and a bit seasons to match Rosberg and doesn't look like doing any better...and Rosberg was walloped by Webber...

purchville

You're right to suggest that Schumacher was in two minds and got confused, but in my opinion, a couple of other (more current world champion) drivers on the grid would have perhaps been more decisive and made a choice earlier on. Exactly, but it was Senna that put him in two minds. People simplisti...

What's more, the longer he continues to be beaten by a teammate (who is no Fangio, Stewart, Clark, Senna or Prost) the less we will think of his achievements.

p.s. drivers have been groomed from karting since the 70's...maybe not to Lewis' degree, but still groomed

It's a different F1 from when he was winning 7 consecutive championships. Back then he had personal tyres nobody else had, a dominating car and team, and quite frankly a grid of drivers that's not quite as good as the current one. The current generation of drivers are the first in history to be gro...

No. He does what he loves and it will be a shame if he leaves without winning a race/podium/pole. Can't for the life of me understand that reasoning. Why does he need another race, podium or pole place? He already have planety of those all. He is not up for the task anymore so just leave the spot f...

I sense Schumi fans clutching at straws...just like Schumi himself is clutching for the reflexes he used to have.
