Still trying to wrap my around how Power won that race If Verstappen had done it, everyone would be talking about how he's such a sensational talent and can defend where other drivers can't...

sandman: ""Anyway, my comment wasn't made to bash Alonso. It was to point out the reality of his situation. He is a 36 year old racing driver who is difficult to work with. The top two teams simply do not have any incentive to hire him as they have better overall options. "" exactly. if rumor is tru...

First you push the driver out, and than you tell him to undertake the suction of certain body parts. I am not impressed with that. Magnussen should not be proud of it. That didn't paint Mag in a good light at all. He should be summoned to Paris, to explain why he uses such language. Children watch ...

pc27b

Do hear arrogant Magnussen's response to Hulk after Hulk called him the most unsporting driver on the grid (rightfully so): 891665506691936257 He didn't have to go so low (pun intended)! :lol: :lol: :lol: But was he really that unsportsmanlike? I mean, HAM did the same to ROS in 2014, IIRC. that is...

andretti racing team is looking like they will switch to chevy power for next year.
indications are that puts sato and rossi out at andretti. honda love rossi per robin miller. i wonder if they provide engines for sauber, rossi will end up at sauber?

Vettel is smart, he wants to keep his options open, if Ferrari stay strong as they are right now in the 2nd half of the season then he will renew the contract in my opinion, if not, then I can see Vettel jumping ship. from what i read, and who really knows if it is true or not, sv wants a one year ...

pc27b

i don't think it is all that hard to believe they have younger options than alonso.

pc27b

i'm surprised nobody has stated the obvious...mv is breaking his car on purpose to trigger the "get out" clause in his contract and sign with ferrari !

People seem to be over reacting about today's race. Same happened a while ago at another street circuit when a Spaniard got the win from 12th on the grid and we all know what happened afterwards with that fairy cakes track. Same will happen with this one. It's a dull and boring one. The only thing ...

pc27b

is an f1 fan supposed to like, or dislike team orders, i get confused about that sometime.
or maybe it is the thought process on team orders changes,for some, depending on whom is involved on track ?

Never watched indy 500 before, I thought it would be boring, and indeed it's boring. So far I'm finding it more exciting than this morning's Monaco race. And this from a multi-decade F1 fan.

Sebasian's crash reminded me of Gordon Smiley, who suffered the worst crash in racing IMO. Thank God safety has come a long way. yes, sadly, it was reminiscent of the smiley crash. safety advancements are a good thing. the car safety cell, hans device, safer barrier. without those on that crash tod...

i think red bull should contact mclaren and williams, and decide if they want to pool money together to build engines. or pool their money together and have ilmor build an engine for them. or have all the independent teams pool their money together for engines or stop the yearly "we will leave" stuff

good for ferrari and f1 for getting the family back there

pc27b

on the states broadcast they showed a very young fan in the stands and in ferrari gear crying when kimmi crashed in turn. one. later, they showed the young fan and his mom in the ferrari hospitality area getting pictures with kimmi. pretty cool

why not ? most everyone is thinking the same thing, if this story is true. that he probably signed it over the winter , and if i remember correctly, vettel is german

pc27b

plenty of stories out there that vettel has already signed a pre agreement with merc. maybe he did that after a poor season and rosberg had retired ?
i wonder if merc would run hamilton and vettel at the same time, or let hamilton leave ?

and in the end, fernando made his bed with mclaren and loads of money. i just can't feel sorry for him

I would like Mclaren and Honda to get rid of him for good. He was never a team player and is the wrong person for building a team. I am so sick of him complaining all the time. I wonder how the team is copying with all his crap day in day out :uhoh: Regardless of what has happened at previous teams...

pc27b

are the cars a complete failure ? imo pretty much.

the harder tires allowing drivers to drive more on the limit, are an improvement though

pc27b

i didn't realize that mclaren also said, while they have no immediate plans to enter indy car full time, they are open to the idea. it's possible, imo very unlikely, but possible, he enjoys the 500 and someone ponies up enough money that he signs with a team in indy car for next year. one thing i am...

i'd forgotten just how horrible those noses were, thanks for the reminder

i'm not going to argue over wether mercedes has a slight advantage or vice versa. i am just going to enjoy hamilton and vettel in pretty closely matched cars and hope neither team gets a big jump on the other as season long development occurs

wow, didn't see that coming at all. i saw the article on racer and seriously wondered if it was supposed to be released on april 1st? don't see this as a lack of alonso's commitment, i see this as honda/mclaren trying to do something for alonso(andretti runs honda usa) i would think there is a very ...

The manufacturers may well 'flock' to Formula-E, but will it ever become truly popular as a spectator sport. The cars look a bit rubbish, especially with those silly looking mudguards... it's like, I'm sure it would be 'possible' to make an electric dragster that could beat a nitro fueled 7000bhp T...

i started following open wheel, and many other forms of racing in the early 70's, listend to the history of the sport from my dad who was a fan. so yes, i would be a fan in the "old days" i guess that would make me old.

"" You are 100% right. It is an utter fallacy that F1 influences automotive engineers making day-to-day road cars.

one thing i take into consideration when i hear f1 has less attendance and less viewership is, pretty much all forms of motorsports have the same issue. different times, racing isn't as popular with the younger generation as it used to be. also, i have zero interest in formula e at this point. some ...

""And in the name of all that is holy allow testing. The last few years have shown that banning testing does more harm to the sport than good.
