Vettel won yesterday, he was always going to, but I thought the race was fascinating in terms of all the other battles going on throughout the field. This year we've been forced to appreciate the fights lower down the order, and I think with the end of the season fast approaching and contracts still...

EJ was talking as if it was all confirmed behind the scenes yesterday as well, think it's a good move for Massa, whether it is for Williams remains to be seen.

Adaemus

Unlike many in this thread, I used to dislike him, but as of this weekend I just can't feel any animosity towards him. Yes, it's boring when one driver wins all the time, but I can't even get mad at Vettel and RBR, they're just too good. I used to think it was the car, and maybe it was in the first ...

Congratulations in order for a man who will go down in history as one of the legends of motorsport, whatever happens in the next few years.

Him and the team both deserve all the applause they will get, and frankly the people being negative just reek of sour grapes.

Well done Seb.

Adaemus

The A1 ring was my favourite track (along with Indianapolis) before both were dropped for political reasons, nice to see it coming back. It may be short but it's nice to see a tree-lined, hilly European race coming on to the calender instead of another deserted Asian aerodrome.

Let's hope...

Contracts in the sport are meaningless; we all know that; five years does seem a bit OTT though, we'll see. The overall story may be correct even if the details are just speculation.

Adaemus

You do know how this sport started don't you? All working class lads who were fantastic drivers...oh wait. It's always been driven by money, you either take on an average driver with a lot of sponsorship or you take a brilliant young driver knowing the potential for marketing and earning through suc...

Adaemus

Hope he goes. I could see Massa doing well in that seat with Rob Smedley joining him. Good comparison for Bottas and without blown exhausts the Williams should be pretty good next year. Without Maldonado's money Williams lose what is reported to be a third of their entire budget. They will be not m...

Adaemus

So long and thanks for all the fish. There are better drivers without ill-gotten funding sitting on the sidelines, and they're less likely to try and ram their own team mate off the track.

Adaemus

Well let's put it this way, does anyone really think that if run off areas and cars were like this 40 years ago the drivers wouldn't have been as 'reckless'? This sport has always attracted the ruthless, those who would do anything to win at the expense of all others. The drivers will operate (just)...

Adaemus

It's certainly a consideration, but then again because the sport is so much safer that they can get away with this sort of thing; it's not just a perception it's the truth. There will be another driver death in F1, it's inevitable, but because of the improvements in safety over the last two decades ...

"There was just one racer who, in a year and half, was approved for $66 million," Benitez told the paper. "Just two of these drivers were claiming in a year what it costs us to take the whole team of more than 600 athletes (to an event)." This is pretty big. Is there actually anyone else it could b...

i read Vandoorne could end up with tora rosso they contacted him it seems They contacted him for replacing Ricciardo but he turned them down after consulting with his management - reasoning STR would be a one-year deal and staying at McLaren would be more beneficial in the long term. I'm very much ...

Valencia was always a bit of a white elephant, but I still miss the old V12s and V10s powering down the long Hockenheim straights through the trees...

Adaemus

Those cat hairs can be tricky to pick up, but honestly do we really need a V8 powered vacuum cleaner? We'll get used to it and forget about it, but as I do now, a few seconds of hearing the V12s of old and you'll be crying a little. For those that need reminding what F1 is supposed to sound like - h...

I think Webber's 2002 Jaguar is the most current spec F1 car that's on the market http://www.f1-sales.com/photos/JAGR3-5.jpg £299,500 2003 Jaguar isn't it? Webber was driving for Minardi in 2002. Good looking car though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's actually the 2004 Jaguar. Nooo...i...

I really really REALLY hope McLaren go back to this: http://www.f1zone.net/news/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/mclaren_orange_pedro1.jpg Looking back now that era of cars really do look cartoonish...reminds me of these - http://i.ebayimg.com/t/F1-BrawnGP-Jenson-Button-Caricature-Car-Art-A4-print-/03/!B...

I guess F1 hasn't changed all that much in the last few decades.

Even if he wanted to buy the shares on their own merit, without any ulterior motive, it would make things very awkward around the dinner table if he hasn't negotiated a seat for his son-in-law.

Hope it's to replace Pastor personally.

Adaemus

Mclaren, even if the car is second best to the Lotus, the exposure trumps the lot.

One strong year there is worth 3 in the Lotus, and a lifetime in the other teams.

Adaemus

Slow in F1 terms is still quicker than almost anything ever produced. Imagine turning up to a track day in that!

Better than just another 911 GT2 or something, for the sort of people that do that sort of thing £55k is a bargain.

Adaemus

The drivers market over the next few years (this season included) is shaping up to be very interesting. Have to say though, this sounds a bit like an agent putting a story out there to try and encourage Mclaren to make a move on his man and commit to offering a longer deal. JB's a great driver, but ...

Hulk is the man, best young driver out there by a country mile. Someone sign him!

Adaemus

Don't forget that he probably has to put up with the hype in Germany and wants to be the country's top driver. Besides that, we're reading a translation online, which does nothing to tell us in what manner the words were spoken. He could have been saying it with a grin on his face, albeit it sounds ...

Adaemus

The way things are these days, I'm just glad he'll still be on the grid. Exciting prospect, albeit one who's fortunate to have such a powerful backer.

Adaemus

Most interesting thing for me from that was Rosberg's little argument with the team over whether or not to push around lap 43, the discussion went on for a few laps and it's clear that he and the team disagreed on the way to go. Consider if his radio had been broken, or non-essential team radio was...

June 22nd is the date I'm looking forward to!

Used to be my favourite circuit, don't know how much they've changed it since the last race there.

Saw the article, thought of starting a topic but decided it was probably BS as it's Benson.

No source, no references, just tabloid reporting.

Wake me up when he posts an article that isn't about Alonso.

Adaemus

Nice idea, but the difference in cost, engineering and behind-the-scenes work in F1 compared to the lower formulae can't be overstated. Also, there's still a spare berth on the F1 grid, if there was a team (or 20!) with the money and resources to make the step up then surely one of them would have t...

Alonso usually does step back a bit, unless Kimi or Webber are up there with him. He tends to just keep his distance after races as far as I can remember. Wouldn't read anything into it personally.

Adaemus

How does this make you sick? If Lewis can perform as well as the other two while still thinking about things such as the design of his hat surely its more power to him?

Adaemus

Wow, some people really need to get a sense of perspective in this thread...

As a non-motorbike fan, this made me want to start watching!

I lost respect for him the day he glassed a man in the neck, swings and roundabouts eh?

Got to say, I completely disagree with the idea that these women are being exploited for their bodies. Nobody's forcing them to do it, if someone wanted to pay me to show off my body I wouldn't consider myself a prostitute (and yes, I'm male) I'd just think "well that's an easy way to make some mone...

Why can't they just alternate tracks every year? Like the first year would be India, second Korea, third Russia. Why would a country invest hundreds of millions in a circuit that's only going to be used once every 3 years? Because it would be better being used every 3 years rather than not at all l...
