Are you kidding? It's a great track and feels deeper than the typical upbeat stuff.

phyz

A lot of races run close to two hours. So way fewer laps then?

Exactly. It's not news if it happens everyday.

If they can be astronauts, work in the military and so on, I'm sure driving an F1 car is nothing in comparison. Sometimes, we F1 fans think of drivers as demigods who risk their lives every weekend.

I always said he wasnt a good driver. Ive always thought he is a rear of the grid driver. He managed three podiums last year in only his second full season when he was only 22. He's better than you claim. Much better. Besides if he wasn't a good driver he wouldn't be in F1 at all. As for his strugg...

I hope it's someone with real speed, not just Ricciardo or Vergne who are probably not even as good as Webber.

phyz

No, Perez is just that bad.

phyz

As far as I can tell, teams should send their car out so that it just makes it as the light at the end of the pitlane turns green. Otherwise, the car loses tyre and brake temperature as it stands there waiting. Today, Webber was already at the end of the pitlane before the last cars had lined up. Su...

Lol DC.

I would think so too. Mainly, Vettel uses the softs when the car is lighter so they'll last better.

The one thing I can think would help the others is an early SC. That would really ruin it for Vettel.

phyz

Once he gets that first set out of the way, his prospects look good!

Not just you. Honestly, I doubt if he brings anything to Merc apart from PR.

What a dick.. Really, that's all there is to it.

Wow, even if he doesn't actually feel sorry, to go out and say it is the mark of an idiot.

McLaren really do need an upgrade in the driver department. Perez is inexperienced and his pace still has question marks over it and Button, while reliable and solid, can hardly match the top three either.

phyz

They usually have a bunch of guys pushing the car into place. That's probably much slower than a real F1 car coming in. Should they have some sort of conveyor belt type system to bring the car in at 100 kph and braking to stop just before the front jack instead? Wouldn't this be better practice for ...

McLaren. As far as I'm concerned they're a true racer's team. I don't understand why they're often seen as having no passion, because they're the only team that has (unintentionally) sacrificed results for their racing ethics. I'm not saying they'll never resort to team orders, but they certainly d...

phyz

Why would you? You'd have to be insecure if that was the reason for changing teams.

For those who like the music, this Youtube channel has the soundtrack from many Bond movies plus others. It's excellent if you're in the mood for some good instrumental stuff.

This is one of my favorites. At 1:06, it really takes off beautifully. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rAdcCCTtlo

Newey has a long term contract (5 years?) with Red Bull, meaning he can't leave anytime soon. Also, Newey has expressed that Red Bull will be his last team. He will most likely retire after Red Bull. Contracts don't mean much at that level. Honestly, if he hates being there, do you think Red Bull a...

There we go! Slowly but surely, Red Bull are protecting Vettel just like Webber said they would. It went from, "He was in the wrong" to "Webber would have done the same".

Disgusting.

What I dont get is why she was quoted as saying: "I'm truly honoured to be taking on the role of deputy team principal and look forward to working alongside Frank to help run the team this season and beyond," Claire Williams commented. here: http://planetf1.com/driver/18227/8600868/Claire-Williams-...

People named Mar(c)k seemed destined to finish second

Vettel fans voting for the no favouritism option and the rest of the world seeing the obvious. Not surprised at all.

Also, I have a grudging respect for Alonso. He takes that verbal barrage with great composure!

Absolutely, a one race ban is ridiculous. But the vitriol that Vettel is getting stems from the fact that he's stolen a GP win without any real repercussions and he tried to lie about it to the public afterwards by claiming he never knew about the call to hold station. Nobody in their right mind wou...

Nico touched him as he drifted out wide but I don't think it was as bad as Kimi made it sound...

phyz

Wow, really? All those radio messages telling him he was being silly, back off, etc. didn't jog his memory?

Unbelievable that he's trying to pass it off as a mistake instead of what it actually was - blatant disregard for an intra team agreement.

What? Vettel was faster. He just kept cutting those gaps even after strategy got him behind Hamilton.

Only because Webber had his engine turned down.

phyz

Force him to use the same blue helmet for the entire season..

phyz

If you bothered thinking about it, you'd realize that the deserving (i.e. faster) drivers were Webber and Rosberg. And both lost out, hence the different opinions.
