I have no knowledge of who this chap is, but if he handles all his matters in this way, you can perhaps understand why any team or sponsor may not be quite so keen to throw money or opportunity his way. I dont get this. He probably is the sort of guy that speaks his mind and he is not a PR-corporat...

I don't agree with Seb being labelled the "worst". I am not a fan of his, but I think there were other drivers who struggled more against their team-mates than him (Kimi and Kevin being two that spring to mind).

matzy

I feel very uncomfortable with this report being made public. The one person who knows the details of what happened cannot put his point of view across or defend the allegations of "not slowing enough". There was no need for the FIA to make this report public and should have only been circled withi...

I'm comparing it to say professional basketball, golf, soccer, american football, baseball just to name a few... Very seldom do you see father and son both played in the same sport that I just mentioned. But you do see that quite often in motorsport. And I think the reason for that is racing largel...

Excuse my ignorance, but I don't understand why someone would apply both the throttle and the brake, heading into an incident like this. Am I missing something obvious? I mean, I understood back in the day this was perhaps done in spins, to stop the engine cutting out ..

I would love to see Button and Alonso in Mclaren together. I think it could bring out the best in both of them, actually.

matzy

A season to forget for Vettel. If I were him I would perhaps try avoid answering questions on the subject, because the truth is the car was capable of winning races - it just seemed to only be true if his team-mate was behind the wheel, for whatever reason.

matzy

You can see why there may be some pressure on him from the team to have no. 1

It looks better in the adverts

I suppose if "44" becomes an instantly recognisable brand for Lewis, like "46" is for Rossi ... well, then perhaps maybe not - but I dont think we are quite there yet lol

matzy

No, I don't see the comparison. I fully expect the two to be closely competitive during their tenure together at Mercedes.

matzy

It is mostly out of relief though and the fact that whatever happened, it didnt happen to the person you support. It is a natural reaction.

matzy

I do hope he is afforded one more season in F1 with Mclaren. I think his performance this season warrants a renewal. If I were Mclaren, I would take Abu Dhabi as a "warning sign" for 2015 - they should ask themselves a simple question. "If we find ourselves in a similar position next year, would we ...

matzy

Well, that couldn't have gone much better!

Congratulations to Lewis. He deserved it this year. Kudos to Nico though. If Lewis had the ERS issue, we probably would have a new World Champion this morning.

matzy

In this situation, with two fairly matched drivers, in similar machinery, I can think of four things over the course of the season that perhaps decide the result. Experience, consistency, reliability, and talent. I think both have a good measure of all those, with perhaps Nico being a tad more consi...

matzy

He needs to enter the first corner of the race in the lead and then stay there. I think if he tries anything else (such as trying to back Lewis up into the pack) he will probably just end up behind Lewis. I assume both drivers will be locked into the same strategy, as before - so getting pole is als...

matzy

that would be the worst thing for KM, it would officially kill his career in f1. Why? Alonso was doing an extremely great when he was driving for Minardi before he was put as reserve driver for Renault year after. True, but we also had Friday sessions with regular running for all the 3rd drivers. M...

matzy

I just hope that whoever wins the WDC this year does so in a way that didn't require the points awarded under this "double points" rule.

matzy

I think Vettel will get 4th. I want Bottas to though, as that would be quite the acheivement for him and Williams.

matzy

I think the writing is on the wall for Jenson, which is a shame. I also think that, were it not for Alonso, Mclaren would have probably kept with Jenson and Magnussen for 2015. If Alonso is coming to Mclaren in 2015, the team can afford to fill their other seat with a younger driver, with an eye on...

matzy

It should be Lewis.

If he doesn't win it then I just hope double-points wasn't the deciding factor, as I fear for the sports popularity.

It wasn't that long ago Bernie was going on about "medals" for race wins, and handing the championship to the person with the most race wins in a season. What an absurd turn around. If the championship is decided by double points in this last race, formula one IMHO takes a few further steps down the...

how hard would it be to have speed limitations on a section of track affected by an incident? I remember an incident in a karting race (caused be me, I am ashamed to admit). until the stranded car was retrieved our speed was limited automatically. seemed to work well and would stop the question of w...

matzy

I think if Hamilton does manage to win the title this year, he'd be tempted by a straight swap with Alonso. He's a good development driver and with Ferrari generally backing one driver over the years, he'd probably thrive there. Surely Alonso would consider such a move too. Is Hamilton a good devel...

Breaking News:- Lewis is now the proud owner of a couple of Nico Rosberg's patented "Free Overtake" cards (expiry date - end of 2014 season - only can be used once each - no cash value - non transferrable - only accepted by Nico Rosberg).

matzy

I keep thinking about the issues we have seen with both Lewis and Nico this season, and ask myself whether this is a result of the team being so dominant that they have no other competitors beyond their team-mate, and thus its "handbags at dawn!" ... or whether the (arguably bloated) management str...

I used to think Rosberg didn't have that "killer instinct" .... looks like I was wrong again lol

I wish him all the best. I know I would not have wanted that amount of pressure at 17 years old. I was too busy living the life of a normal kid at that age. You have to hope those around him are confident he really wants this, that it isn't too soon for him, and that he can cope with the pressure th...

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/115310 I was surprised when I read this interview as I didn't think Lowe was this sort of character but he comes across quite arrogant here.

I was thinking maybe he could replace Bernie, but he's about 40 years too young. . I'm not sure that is quite what Ross is best cut out for, but I do think that someone like him heading the FIA's technical committees would be ideal.

Why can't people not understand this or does it simply not suit their agenda? This is what confuses me about yesterday too. If they did "work out" Rosberg's strategy gave him the chance to win, why not move Lewis onto that strategy too? Either the team:- (a) werent certain it was the best strategy;...
