Actually Grosjean has been better ever since they changed the tyres. He got better since Nurburgring.

Eva09

Yes congrats

Eva09

Alonso out of it really so Vettel champion.

Eva09

Grosjean's gonna be on the podium.

Eva09

Rosberg second.

Eva09

Raikkonen very slow.

Eva09

Webber out

Yeah thought he might have a good one.

Eva09

Hamilton stuck behind Bottas.

Eva09

You're allowed to show Vettel guys. Would be interesting to see him trying to pass another car.

Eva09

Massa leading

Eva09

MASSA

Grosjean on soft tyre.

Eva09

Hamilton passed Rosberg off the grid. Really accelerated away. Let him back through of course.

Eva09

he is quick on a single lap and is a very well studied driver (intelligent as per my thread) - but does anyone else feel he lacks pure fire in the race? He seems to take some time or not push forwards... Yes sometimes. You want to see the fire you see in a Lewis Hamilton or Michael Schumacher. But ...

Unfortunately, new circuit designs, especially going onto more track when you do a mistake is sucking the true racing spirit out of Formula 1. During race weekends, one can be nearly sure drivers won't do a serious race ending mistake because of driving fault. When it couples with too reliable engi...

Webber should hitch a lift on Vettel's car like he did in Singapore. That way he'd at least make the front row.

Let's look at the finished ahead record when both drivers finished: [We know the points scores] 2007 - Heidfeld 8 - 4 Kubica 2008 - Heidfeld 5 - 7 Kubica 2009 - Heidfeld 6 - 5 Kubica :-| And? There is virtually nothing in it, but ok let's say that Heidfeld did beat him, does that mean that Kubica c...

It's also interesting to note that the *ONLY* other session where *ANY* teammates got within the *LARGEST* margin of HAM and ROS was DIR and SUT in Q2.

No other teammates besides those guys got within a tenth of each other in any of the sessions, HAM and ROS all 3.

Eva09

Anybody know why the drivers were allowed to go completely outside the track borders during quali? Kimi and Alonso seemed to try to avoid it but most of the others did. To sort of answer the question, this wouldn't be a problem if there was grass there! Schumacher one year ran wide at Silverstone (...

Eva09

Q1: 1:25.802 HAM 1:25.833 ROS
Q2: 1:25.259 HAM 1:25.304 ROS
Q3: 1:24.941 HAM 1:24.871 ROS

Less than a tenth in every session. It's just interesting to note how close they have got.

Eva09

In terms of brainpower, Rosberg is bookish in that he speaks frickin' 5 languages as well as studies/has studied engineering and physics and pursues them as hobbies I believe.

Eva09

Wasn't Kubica beaten by Heidfeld in 2009? And 2007? Jesus Christ not this again.... .... the truth you mean? 2007 - Kubicas first full season in F1 against a very experienced Heidfeld. 2009 - Car was a dog, only 2 points in it. I'd compare the Heidfeld/Kubica partnership to Lewis/Jenson. JB/Heidfel...

Eva09

Ferrari. They probably would have won the 2012 WCC with a Kubica/Alonso line up. But I don't think Alonso would have been as close to Vettel in the WDC because Kubica would have taken more points away from him than Massa ever did. Kubica would have taken more points away from Alonso... ... ... and ...

http://youtu.be/DTAJTFbLFlA I actually drove right under the car flipping in the air, he landed behind me. That looks like a lot of fun. I also had an exciting race again in F1 2012. 25% race distance, Catalunya, pole by 0.89 sec, led every lap, car is working like a dream, had a 15 second lead wit...

The title implies that the discussion is intended to be about the general importance of intelligence in drivers, whereas the initial post looks like another isn't Seb great thread :? Welcome to this forum =D There is no "pure driving brilliance". Half of motorsport is understanding how to set the c...

Ferrari, and i think he was WDC material, with the right car underneath him obviously. People forget he was getting better and better every year. His performance at Monaco 2010 was outstanding. I'd go with AFCTUJacko's assessment. Kubica was already fast in 2008 and by 2010 Imo was about as fast as...

Didn't someone steal Senna's gloves from Imola? This comment pricked my ears up, can anybody expand on this? Sid Watkins took Senna's gloves off when he was removed from the car, laid them down on the ground and said he never saw them again. I'm presuming either a marshal took them on the sly or on...

If somebody wants to add the points up for a different points system, you have the points calculated by season here! http://f1-facts.com/statistics/regulations-comparison/ There you go, that makes it a lot easier! 1991-2003 points system (10,6,4,3,2,1) Fernando Alonso: 0+0+36+35+115+116+85+43+11+81...

Eva09

For drivers with such good car reliability records as Alonso, Schumacher, Prost, is it that as number ones their cars are better-prepared, or that they in fact are mechanically more-sensitive? Probably both? Imo Alonso will go down in history as one of the really great drivers. Probably a bit of bo...

I just hope that this years race is interesting. Last two were boring as hell. The circuit is fantastic but for some strange reason doesnt lend to close car battles. Some tweaking needed. Does anyone know if the DRS lines have been changed from last year? And if Pirelli is bringing the same compoun...

Not really,it is nothing new,F1 has always had pay drivers and drivers who are not always deserving of a seat! Yet people seem to think it is some sort of new phenomenon. I think it is new compared to the late 90s and 00s. Perhaps not to compared to before that, but I do think it is new, something ...

Eva09

Dont suppose you would have the data on how his team mate has fared during this period? Just interested to compare. Also I sometimes wonder that if it dos not go wrong now and again, are they close enough to the sharp edge ? Do you mean in terms of driving, or in terms of design? I think that the f...

Lets not forget that in France that year Irvine was ordered to hold station behind Schumacher, who I think was having car troubles. That 1 point also mattered. You somehow got the impression Ferrari did not want Irvine winning that year. Anyway, to the original question, the Ferrari was a quick car...

1999 was a rather strange season with a lot of drama. Hakkinen himself admitted to feeling that the season would be easy once Schumi was out injured (according to his interview on Sky's F1 legends). But there were several factors which made this a topsy-turvy year: - Hakkinen crashing from the lead...

they need to bring in a points based system like us pov's have (say over three year as its easy to just say its reset every wdc so il take the od chance )so instead of getting drive thru's for minor stuff you get one point that would sure fix it more or less over night but will never get voted in b...

Schumacher had a couple of similar things in his run, but they didn't finish his race and he still was able to score points, as Fernando did.

I would hope that even if unsuccessful the guy who can still technically beat Sean to the title.....wouldn't I think the only 2 drivers that can beat him is Nicki Thiim and Michael Ammermüller with 2 rounds to go. Guess if the petition isn't successful it's up to those two. How does one define succ...
