Don't blame the track, blame Grosjean.

It's funny, mostly considering Spa is such a legendary track. Changing it because of a driver stupidity? Yeah right

Fixed.

Schumacher is very old and way past his prime. He should've retired long ago. Why is this so difficult for some to understand?

nixxxon

You guys think this would offer more protection?? Well, if you put bars in there yes, but meh

nixxxon

Its great he's ok, but It would be extremely sad if Alonso loses the championship because of this incident after all the hard work and good drives

nixxxon

These three guys approve this and they have promised Ricciardo won't be sacked

nixxxon

Alguersuari was into Mercedes orbit, he has chances to get MS drive. But he will most likely go to another team

Why is the UK acting like the USA servant again?

Anyway, they say Assange has been accused of rape, however they haven't told who did he rape... I think its all invented. All they want is get him to the US via Sweden and try to execute him if they can.

I like the McLaren 2005 a lot. Best looking McLaren ever IMO and one of the fastest aswell.

Such a freakin crazy race.

In qualifying; but the race is a different story: overall Grosjean has been weaker in race trim- predominantly down to his own mistakes. Grosjean won't be doing those mistakes forever. I cannot wait till Spa, this business will finally be dealt with. So he loves a certain track and he should to wel...

I think Piquet is kind of RIGHT Don't attack him just because you disagree. -Alonso was a lot lot faster than Grosjean when they were at Renault -Kimi is struggling to beat Grosjean now. -Kimi was struggling to beat Massa and actually Massa beat him in the last year. -Alonso has destroyed Massa so f...

Rossi (past his prime) to become Lorenzo's number two and I can see plenty of whining by him in the next 2 seasons. Lets see. I'm looking forward to digging this post up next year when you're proven to be wrong. :thumbdown: Ok then. I wonder if this time Rossi will put a wall on the Yamaha garage t...

This is a signal of no team having a big superiority over the rest, this is good.

I read somewhere that Fangio and Ascari were the first "Senna and Prost" Fangio was Prost and Ascari was Senna. Fangio had the phylosophy of winning races at the slowest possible pace, looking for safety and success at the same time. It certainly paid off and he won the championship 5 times. Prost w...

What you posted is about reaction times, vision decline etc. Everyone knows that but still we cannot know how much a driver like Michael Schumacher may or may not have 'lost speed' because of aging. People just throw that around because they suspect that's the way it is and with time they come to b...

Jaime Alguersuari to Mercedes (replacing Michael Schumacher) You heard it here first. If its not in 2013, it'll be in 2014 If its not in 2014, it'll be in 2015 (loop) :-P . In all seriousness, can't see it happening. The 2013 or 2014 doubt is because it's uncertain if MS will continue for another y...

I voted for Clark, but.... Well, you can't really compare Jim Clark with the likes of Nigel Mansell or Lewis Hamilton, can you? Different eras, very different cars, very different racing

Ron Lewis failure to manage both drivers, his bad decisions and favouritism towards Lewis cost them the title. He should have backed Alonso all the season as he was the more experienced, proven 2x world champion, and they would have won both titles, 100% sure. All of that because Alonso had a couple...

V6 would make more sense in the way that they are more common for road cars. Arent F1's latest policies supposed to try to establish more links between the F1 cars and the real road cars?

No one is comparing him to senna, we are saying that he deserves to be in a top car, and he could be delivering. As i have already pointed out with stats, in 2008 and 2009 alonso did not do any better than rosberg, or even button in similar conditions. In 2009 alonso actually was not able to keep h...

nixxxon

The one thing i can say about nico is that he finishes where he starts for the most part, but that doesnt tell the whole story, i again reccomend for others to look at alonso in years like 2008 and 2009 and to see how much of a difference a good car can make. http://espn.go.com/racing/driver/stats/...

To finish first, you first have to finish

I rate him as a 2nd class driver. He appears to lack killer instinct that makes him move more and more forward. He seems to almost always get decent results and he's consistant, but not fast enough to make him a championship contender everytime. He usually qualifies Ok and he rarely improves positio...

I have Gran Turismo 5 and it removes all the interest in getting a F1 game, not because its a better game, but because it has two F1 cars to run F1 races, a FGT which is similar but more powerful, the mighty Red Bull X2010/2011.... and the most important, there come the rest of cars. F1 cars are str...

We never said it could be driven, at least not by any human. The car itself however does work. You say the Redbull X2010 does work? It hasnt been made, its only speculation and on-paper stuff. The one in the picture doesnt work, it is only a bodywork, no stuff inside. Also, I suppose that a 3.0 V6 ...

Tyre wars would KILL F1 again like they killed it with the Michelin vs Bridgestone wars. Totally against it. The actual tyre situation is very good, same tyres for everyone so it is fair for all, although the tyres could be improved. But the point is, you either have great performance for all the ra...

VW group is not VW. Porsche and Lamborghini have built F1 engines in the past and have experience (Porsche much more, though). VW itself was never an engine company. The modern VW water-cooled engine originated from a design Audi developed in the late 60s, which VW acquired when they purchased DKW ...

The difference with HRT and Minardi is, this is only HRT's 3rd season, and Minardi spend like 20 years and they did not go anywhere.

VW will never enter, they don't know how to make F1 engines . Audi has some pretty good people in their engine department (Dr Ulrich Baretzky for example), but they are committed to Le Mans and, quite frankly, I don't know if they'd succeed in making a good F1 engine considering their latest effort...
