Many people, especially young people, have zero self control these days. This is not an arguable point, but a fact made evident by these type of events and others throughout sports, musical entertainment and political demonstrations. People feel entitled to act, say or do whatever they wish no matte...

Re: Best Looking Drivers
My wife always glares at and mentions Button when he has his helmet off or when he's walking away. That's cool with me. Turnabout is fair play. I'm also really lucky that she's liked to watch F1 with me for a long, long time. She's also had a thing for Heikk who I called C3PO, except when he spoke. ...

Re: Ferrari (Di Montezemolo) - Vettel Is Better Than Hamilto
None of the above makes any difference if Sebastian stays where he is and wants nothing to do with Ferrari. It's really his choice in the end. I know he's said in the past that it's every young drivers goal to drive for Ferrari, but that's not a commitment. We'll see what happens.

Re: Perez thinks he can win 2013 title
This is the best mindset Perez can have. Imagine Whitmarsh's reaction or anyones for that matter had he said, "Next year, I will totally enjoy my number 2 driver status at McLaren", or "I got me some learnin' to do at that top team that just signed me, so we'll see what happens in 2013".
