The majority of people in and around F1 respect Sir Jackie: I think Hamilton could do a lot worse than becoming like him. As far as I can tell, the only problem Hamilton fans have with him is that he criticized Lewis once or twice, which to me seems a bit petty. He is an easy man to respect, but di...

Yeah he could get excluded from qualifying for that. Was a bit mean of them to call him in for weighing at such a crucial time with rain just about to fall though.

Lojik

No I believe they are going to keep on not running them until they win the WCC. I read one theory a while ago that Ferrari want to protest as they would quite like to use this solution themselves but want to test the legality waters with Mercedes before comitting. If this were true (big IF) then ma...

Congrats to Hamilton for 5th title. An almost flawless season.

These new comparisons are fantastic. The one from Austin between Vettel and Hamilton was incredible.

Lojik

Yeah, you are absolutely right, I retract that statement, wrong wording. They did it to prevent protests. I find it so weird though and the phrasing they used in that article is a bit silly in my view: "and considers the primary function"... Really? Should Ferrari then say that the mirror's primary...

Mercedes cleared by stewards to run their "controversial wheels" for the Mexican GP.

Voted Kimi, finally making up a place at the start and then winning, and Max for a monster drive from the back. I was so enthralled by what was happening with the top 5 that I have absolutely no idea what happened with the midfield. What a fantastic race.

Acording to Joe Saward, they are not doing the driver intros like last year.

It's true, but what would you rather watch, this briefing or some celebrity interview on the grid walk?

It's a shame, it was quite enjoyable to see Vettel-Hamilton questioning each other in these meetings. Gives a bit of insight and shows how they also sometimes have the same difficult questions as we do (what's allowed and what's not?). Yeah it's a shame, but I'm glad they don't show them any more a...

Great outcome for Hamilton today in qualy, just needs to stay out of trouble on lap 1 then hope for no mechanical issues.

Didn't they all ultimately get 1 lap in dry conditions? so yeah Vettel in 9th is more on him I think than the Ferrari strat.

And it's raining, qualy is over. Ferrari got it wrong again.

Well, that makes sense really, the straight line speed is directly linked to the speed you get out of the corners, isn't it? Better exit = better straight speed. Not in the case of what we've seen with Ferrari this year. They have basically displayed an "afterburner" effect where their car just abs...

There's also the disingenous argument being bandied about that Mercedes somehow needs these points, because they're under thread from Ferrari for the WDC. I think the first practice session in Suzuka serves as a wonderful and timely demonstration that no such thing is true. I'm not going to comment...

I for one hope that there are no more team orders this season. The narrative since the last race on just about every F1 related media site has been staggeringly boring. There are massive hypocrits on both sides desperately pushing their own weird little agendas. I can't wait for the next race, if on...

I agree. It starts to look a lot like 2017. Ferrari and especially Vettel are in the process of throwing away yet another title. This time last year the points gap was "only" 34 when it is now 50, even when Ferrari have had a relatively faster and more reliable car this year than they had last year...

If Vettel had a car advantage maybe, but since it's the other way around and Merc has proved that Bottas will be used I find it a zero chance for a Ferrari/Vettel chance, this is signed and sealed I guess you weren't around in 2007. That was also apparently signed and sealed for Hamilton with only ...

The Vettel error that lost him P2. He had a big lock up into turn 12, leaving a long black mark on the track and completely missing the apex and lost 0.5 allowing Hamilton to be very close through 13 and into the DRS zone. Another big own goal by Vettel when under pressure. He would have taken -3 f...

Interesting comment on C4 saying that through the season the Ferrari has had small amounts of smoke puffing out of the back, vaping I think they called it, and that for the last two races this has no longer been the case. It was suggested that perhaps there may have been a tightening up of a technic...

Lojik

So after the last two races I make it Ferrari probably just about having the edge over the season so far. A very slight edge. Sounds about right. Question now is whether or not the step Merc have made is a decisive one for the remaining races. Still think RBR will be very much in the mix for Mexico.

I don't think the Mercs were going anywhere near full pace and they were just managing things. Near the end of the race Hamilton didn't seem all that bothered about blisters when he suddenly starting pumping in fastest laps, despite zero pressure from behind. The Mercs were pacing themselves and IM...
