I like Korea. Interesting lay out that has the potential to produce some decent racing, but if its not to be its not to be. Of it was up to me I would have a core of maybe 8 races and the rest rotating year on year. The we would get to see a lot of tracks and it wouldn't get to stale.

This is a review of the 1991 San Marino GP. It's a good watch in general but if you just want to see Nige lose it, go to 3:20. I've never seen him that tiddled. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdhysblW7bA Mansell at the peek of his whining powers! What's funny is that if a leading driver acted like ...

Just to say that anyone on this thread that has said they will not see the Senna film because of bias i urge you to see it. I am a Prost fan and enjoyed the film a lot and the bias is not that bad and certainly didn't spoil the film for me.

Just to point out that had Kimi pitted he would have come out about 5th place. I think anybody in Kimis position would have taken a risk and tried to win that race. If he pitted on the last lap perhaps. But surely if he pitted with enough laps to spare, his pace that weekend coupled with his brand ...

Was Alonso that much faster a driver than Kimi in 2005? Each won 7 races, FA got 5 second places, KR three; FA three thirds, KR two. FA six poles, KR five; KR 11 fastest laps, FA two. Or was it really mostly down to the McLaren car advantage? I wouldn’t say “better,” but Alonso’s style worked bette...

A bit off topic, I cant remember which year it was (i think 2004), but i think Kimi's best year was when he only won 1 race in the whole season but fought for the world championship till the very last race with Schumi. Now that was clearly a case of fighting for the championship in a slower car - I...

Jackie Stewart's 1971 season was incredible. Nobody else came close that year.

Also, out of all the different forms of motorsports, not a single one that I'm aware of has such kinds of ridiculously draconian rules for backmarkers. Have you stopped to consider why that might be the case? Perhaps because F1 is faster than the others? Perhaps because the F1 tracks don’t have mul...

what about LAUDA vs PROST on his comeback? don't have all the details but have heard stories of his inteligence and experience being used to the full to beat the faster younger upstart by half a point come seasons end to claim his third title.. legend doesn't come close! Lauda was great that year b...

Not sure if many would agree, but Ralf Schumachers performance in the Williams in 1999 was pretty impressive all season long. 4 retirements only and all race finishes in the points bar Hungary. Considering he was competing against the faster Mclarens, Ferraris and Jordans and his teammate failed to...

I was watching a few videos from late 90s through 2005 and i observed that drivers used to just throw the car into the corners and it used to sort itself out, well at least the good ones did. It requires a lot of guts to have such blind faith and push it to those limits. Now in contrast, I was watc...

I remember back in the late 90s (when we did have blue flags) back markers would not jump out of the way nearly as quickly. They would usually wait for a straight, move of the racing line and just blend off the throttle slightly. I much preferred that than the system we seem to have at the moment wh...

Nobody wins a world championship on luck alone, and everyone that wins a championship deserved to win it. They scored the most points.

While i agree that there is no place for violence, Sutil has been punnished by the courts who have all the facts. I don't understand why everyone thinks its there business to be judge,jury and jailor. Sutil made a mistake. If the same thing happened to someone doing a job most regular jobs would the...

I can't see Alonso accepting Button as a team mate unless it's with him as a clear number one and Button as the number 2. Agreed. It would be silly for Jenson to abandon the support system he has in place at McLaren right now anyway. He's said many times that being surrounded by people is what he n...

Does anybody know which lay out they plan to use?

mikeyg123

Both the first two races seem to have made posters very reactive! If Alonso is the best driver out there it is not because he won in Malaysia. However That win could be further proof of what was already the case.

He was only joking! I am sure Lewis would laugh at that himself. I know i would!

Anyway, nice photos, Hamilton seems to be enjoying himself.

I read a post by Zpectre in the "most naturally talented driver" thread and it got me thinking. I started a separate thread because it would kind of be way of topic there I have always rated Hakkinen very highly however looking back over his career I don't think it was as impressive as i first thoug...

I'm not even a Raikkonen fan but to me, he is clearly the most mentally tough. He doesn't seem too phased by big moments in my opinion. I think it's sort of a by product of his personality. Kimi doesn't seem to concerned with other people or their opinions. I think that helps him in those types of ...

Out of the current drivers its probably Kimi. From what we have seen Vettel deserves a mention as well especially as he is such a young man. I always thought that Jacques was pretty tough to. Schumacher cracks at high pressure, Alonso needs things to go his way, Hamilton obv has his problems and Jen...

Fans want drivers to show emotion/personality

Driver show emotion/personality

Fans hate driver

Whats even funnier is the people who are critical of Vettel probably do worst things than flick the middle finger every day!

I can't believe some of the drivers included in these list ahead of Schumacher. Yes he put a lot of work in, but even without that he could be amazingly quick. 7th on the grid on his debut? Nearly winning the championship in the 1997 Ferrari etc. How somebody can name Damon Hill (A very good driver...

So difficult to quantify what "natural talent" is. For this purpose I have assumed that we are talking about the fastest, and drivers who are able to be quick straight away in anything. So in no order: Clark Senna Depaillier Prost Siffert Stewert Fangio Ascari G.Villenueve Peterson I have left out a...

Wasn't with Red Bull last year the performance of the car measured by the faster driver? Or does that only apply to drivers not being Vettel?

Not everyone thinks that way, I think Vettel was a dominant driver last year rather than the car being light years ahead.

Winning in that godawful Ferrari is quite an achievement When you say that you do realize that the only way that makes sense is that there were other cars better than what he had today and the Hamiltons, the Vettels, the Webbers, the Kimis etc of the world were just driving pathetically and underpe...

They would be about 3 tenths faster in race trim i reckon.

I thought at first it was all Vettel's fault.

Then I watched this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EAcNPOSGtU

And realized i was wrong. I would have called Narain an idiot if I was vettel tbh

I like having the red flag period as it means we don't have 30 laps behind the safety car. Really though there should have only been one lap behind the safety car before the restart.

I think this video qualifies for this thread. Rare: F1 footage without irritating commentary detracting from that beautiful sound. Interesting: one of the greatest qualifying battles I can remember. Funny: not so much, but the other two factors make up for this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snvMq...
