Can't see Gutierrez ever being offered a full-time Ferrari seat. He has to have developed a heck of a lot in the past year if he's not be considered one of the weakest drivers on the grid, as I don't think he was much better than Ericsson in 2014. I would not take this Haas story at all seriously -...

Okay, I'm going to try this one last time and I'll use short words so that those willfully trying to avoid the point can maybe soak it in a bit. My daddy was a WDC. (Arguably the least deserving ever, having only won one race in the year and at a time when reliability decided everything and a chang...

Neither are good enough for Ferrari. Gutierrez isn't anywhere near though.

I've been reading up a bit on costs in F1, and it just makes no sense the state the sport is in right now. Looking back to 1995, Benetton won the championship with a budget of just over $40 million. Adjusted for inflation that is just under $70 million, and Michael Schumacher's wages alone accounte...

Let's get some perspective here. Hamilton was asked and answered a question, without ever alluding to wanting No 1 status in the team. But the bald fact is that things cannot continue as they have, with Nico looking like someone stole his dummy, complaining about the bully who stole his bit of trac...

Don't know about Spain, but I still have the Mexico race on tape. Maldonado did not pass Grosjean there. In fact Grosjean was pulling away from him on the medium tire but the safety car brought Maldonado back in the race and on the soft he appeared to be slightly quicker than Grosjean but he was ne...

It's been discussed before ad-nauseam, F1 hasn't adapted to the realities of the current generation. The generation with short attention spans, changing viewing habits, people that are time poor, a market flooded with choice... Wait what where we discussing again? :thumbup: F1 is miles away from it...

He destroyed Maldanado in qualifying. However despite almost always starting behind he was competitive with Grosjean during races. I actually think over the season the way which Maldanado could usually catch Grosjean during races (when he wasn't taken out or bad luck didn't strike) probably shows G...

All of the Vettel votes are a bit of a head-scratcher for me. Why? Because Raikkonen was terrible? Vettel finished right where he should be expected to finish (right behind the mercs).

The latest quote from Toto clearly states that it is Rosberg that would have to leave with his contract under consideration for renewal. That's not how I read it; his contract renewal might not be as early in the season as Hamilton's was, is how I understood it. You may be right though, it is so ha...

A simple head count here. The same people launch attacks at me every time I post about this topic. It is very easy to count them. You dont even need all your fingers!

The rest of the forum? Puhleeeze.....There are a very tiny few who support the V-6 hybrid engines. "A very tiny few". Not that I'm going to state that the majority is in favor, but I have to ask: when you say things like that, what are you basing that on? Gut feeling? Those around you in the grands...

I think Ferrari will be a realistic rival to Mercedes in 2016 so the team battle will be less intense.

mikeyg123

Its not exceptional but a long way from laughable.

I always wonder with Lewis how long a career he will have. He seems so excited by life outside formula 1. I could easily see him retiring in the next 3/4 years.

The engines are much louder now than they were back in 2014. Personally I like how advanced the current engines are and couldn't give a hoot about the noise.

Button has performed better versus Hamilton than Rosberg has if you ask me Not really, Rosberg has bested Hamilton in more races in their 3 years together than Button did. Button scored more points, but that was largely because of Hamilton appealing luck in 2012, where he lost 120-150 points. By co...

Dominant McLaren: Rosberg, easily. I wouldn't be so certain. Everybody knows that Button in a car to his liking is damn-near unbeatable. So you're going to have to specify if that dominant McLaren prefers his or Rosberg's setup. I'll agree that he has a narrow working window but you can balance tha...

Ok, what season did Jenson come close to winning the world championship after his one WDC at Braun? What year? Was it 2011 when he came in second?

Not too sure if he hates him for something personal. Or because he never actually won a Grand Prix let alone a WDC. Or what... I doubt you know what hating means, Olly.

All but Alonso I don't think Alonso has the ability to do it. He will find a way to make a good car, crap, and then when he ends up second, we will all praise his magical talent.

All could in the right scenario.

Kimi would need a lot of things to come together.

Button would need the best car by 2 or 3 tenths and a weaker team mate.

Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso could take a WDC in a multitude of scenarios.
