I think Rosberg may have been a touch demoralised immediately after the race. However he'll take heart in the fact that he pushed Hamilton hard all race. What I would really be interested in seeing is another race where he's leading into the first corner, or first lap even. Correct me if I'm wrong b...

I would not class the Battles Between Rosberg & Hamilton as boring ;) What battle? :uhoh: Watching 20 laps of LH "I dare you, crash into me, and I will make it look all your fault before media and the team" got awfully boring after 5 minutes. Had it been clean fight, maybe, not this ham fisted elbo...

I think he was dropping a banana skin behind him. Should have used it earlier really.

Perhaps we could kill two birds with one stone? To please those complaining about the boring spectacle and also those complaining about the fuel flow limits, maybe they could find away to inject any fuel that is over the 100kg/h limit straight into the exhaust gas thereby creating a spectacular aft...

I have a question, and the maths behind it are honestly beyond me: The Mercs were told (at least Hamilton was) to turn the engine down about halfway through the race. Would it be possible to tell from the % of fuel used how much they actually turned them down by?

Benici

What Alien said above. I totally agree - it's added new dimensions to the experience of watching F1 - tyre squeals, crowds cheers....Brilliant!

Benici

The onboard video of Hamilton's pole lap showed how impressive his control was. Granted, I guess his control could have been better by NOT having that massive opposite lock moment, but still, to keep it on the track and get 1st position was great to watch. I like the fact that the back is twitchy - ...

@tgruener @andrewbensonf1 Hi all.. just to confirm, it was the supersoft tyre that Lewis used to set the fastest time yesterday

Nico was on the soft so the pace is most definitely there.

Confused now. I though Pirelli confirmed that Lewis's fast lap were on used softs??

Benici

How is that trolling?

Seeing as reliability does appear to be their main problem, and the fact that they've won the last 4 WCC's and WDC's I'd say he has a very good point.

Benici

I'm pretty impressed with Merc today. An engine change, 100 trouble-free laps and a few qualy runs to finish it off.

08:28 World champion Sebastian Vettel makes his first appearance of the final pre-season test, heading out in the Red Bull. 08:29 But the RB10 encounters a problem straight away, bringing out our first red flag of the day. The course car has picked up the Red Bull mechanics to take them to the car,...

Benici

What are the odds of a Williams or a force Indian winning the first race? Merc are starting to show signs of unreliability which is a concern that they are becoming more unreliable and not less By the sounds of it this red flag was Hamilton's error. The Mercs could be showing some unreliability bec...

From Autosport: "08:14 Familiar cutting noises coming from Red Bull garage. Not behind closed doors though, so things look a bit more normal there at this test. 08:17 Now some hammering going on in the Red Bull garage..." $250M of precision engineering doesn't work? Get me a saw and hammer! apparen...

Benici

I would like to ask why they have the first test in Jerez and then two in Bahrain? Why not a third elsewhere? Perhaps with a different climate and track conditions.

Probably need to change the bag.

Phew. I was worried it was going to be another stinker - but I think they've designed a very nice looking racing car.

Benici

This car is so ugly I won't even be able to listen to it on the Radio now.

Benici

Currently reading Alastair Reynolds' On the Steel Breeze. Definitely my favourite author - sic-fi or otherwise.

Anyone else read any of his stuff? I highly recommend the Revelation Space trilogy as a starting point for his writing for anyone into Science Fiction.

So hoping this doesn't suck like Colonial Marines did.

This has the potential to be SO good. Let's hope they don't balls it up.

Must be some kind of a Quantum leap they've taken then.

I didn't realise the new ERS system would be able to generate as much as 1.21 gigawatts.

Speaking of space sims - this looks amazing! Sorry if it's already been linked previously in this thread.

Cheers guys. After looking at Mass Effect on youtube - I think I'm going to get Mass Effect. Wow! I've always liked the Call of Duty series but they're quite linear aren't they? I've played up to Modern Warfare on the PC but that was as far as I got. Halo 1 I've played but got bored with a very repe...

I'm going to treat myself to an Xbox 360 this xmas (can't justify the expense of the Xbox One).

Bearing in mind I like sci-fi and military shooters, can anyone recommend what two games I should buy first?

Benici

I think Marquez has already been matched by Lorenzo. Marquez is incredible - aggressive and exciting to watch. Lorenzo has upped his game because of Marquez. If both can remain healthy the competitiveness and contrast in styles should make for a fascinating season in 2014. I'm pretty sure the Honda ...

Second, who will get third in the driver's championship? While Vettel is clearly first and Alonso is a clear second, third place is still up for grabs. Because of Kimi's absence, its now a race between Hamilton and Webber with only 6 points separating the two. This is the kind of result Mark and th...

I would imagine that the pictures that by sport showed was the dorma feed. Much like BBC and eurosport had in the past. Who were the.commentators today Cox and Parrish.

Good show by Crutchlow on the Ducati on his first day. He was only a tenth behind Dovi who was on the same bike and actually went quicker that the Ducati's sunday race pace. Here's good summary of the first test day… http://motomatters.com/analysis/2013/11/12/2013_valencia_post_race_test_day_1_round...

Start of testing for 2014 on BT Sport now!

Interesting to see Cal on the Ducati and Redding on the production Honda.

Benici

Wow! The first few laps were as nail-biting as it gets. Great riding by all and it was good of Lorenzo to think 'right I've tried my best to get Marc to trip up, now it's time to win the race'. Deserving winner and deserving champion. It's scary how good Honda could be as a team next season - with M...

Check this video out from free practice today - particularly at 1:00 - Marquez looks like he's get a bit annoyed at Lorenzo's attempts to put him off.

Just to be clear: I have BT broadband and a BT Vision box, but because I don't subscribe to any of their TV packages (ie.

So, who will be watching the last MotoGP race of the season this weekend? I'm very much looking forward to it. I think the pressure will really be on Marquez he must finish at least 4th but he doesn't seem the type to cruise round so slowly - he's unlucky not to have it in the bag already - what hap...

Lewis blaming himself is more about him feeling sorry for himself and want others to feel sorry for him too. Same goes for him downplaying Sebs sucessful for driving a faster car.

In all reality Hamilton would not be a single point ahed of Rosberg if they had comparable luck this year. This 'comparable luck' you speak of and seem able to quantify…..In addition to Rosberg's bad luck I assume you've factored in Hamilton's bad luck like the blown tyre at Silverstone and the sus...

I'd be more than happy if Lewis only won one more WDC before his career ends. He's been the driver I have most admired throughout this era and one I have enjoyed watching the most. Many good drivers have an entire career without winning a race due to circumstances out of their control and Lewis is ...

Probably absolutely right but this is what I hate…. Its unfortunate these days that in order to race competitively you have to effectively not race, you need to stick to your deltas even if being overtook with the eye on the longer game. I want to see Hamilton pushing hard and RACING. I'm seriously ...
