RIP Nicky. He just died.

In terms of results, USA's Indy street circuit is Alonso's worst track, worse than Canada. In Canada he won in 2006 and should have won in 2005 too but he made a tiny mistake (kissed a wall) and that made him retire, plus the magnificent performance in 2003 with an inferior car, 4seconds off the rac...

Not wanting to defend Vandoorne, but Alonso has always been a very agressive driver, and with the new regulations Alonso has "unleashed all his fury" and he can push all the way, something that he couldn't do with the slimmer more delicate tires. So the difference between him and his team mate (no m...

Not trying to stick up for either series here, but iirc Senna's chassis survived intact and was not the reason for his death, so the safety advancements in f1 are not relates to structural integrity of the car (although they are obviously heavily tested. And Zinardi's crash was also nothing similar...

Almost??? I am not at all sure that an F1 car could have handled that impact, it is built for different requirements. Not trying to put F1 cars down, only pointing out that Indy cars have to be built with 230mph and close walls in mind, F1 not so much. F1 would've handled it well (remember Kubica c...

It seems those indy cars are very solid, almost F1-like?

Yeah, what a chaos. It was due to an oil spill.

Maverick for the win, here in the Le Mans circuit he has always done really well.

The quality is terrible yet they're cool

Has there been any other case like Kevin Magnussen??
Leaving aside Dorino Serafini who took part in only 1 race and finished in the podium...
Thats a really weird stat

Verstappen was their first choice above carlos Doesn't mean a thing if they get a fair chance on track. Which they did, both received TO's to their advantage. They both had ups and downs in 2015 season, and looking at the results, they were much closer than the points standings suggest. What you sa...

Lewis had far more car problems than Nico last year, but i doubt many would call him the de facto #2. I don't think that's a reason to identify driver favouritism, is what I'm saying For people who followed both of them closely its strange to say the least, that almost all the bad things happened t...

for me Sainz has impressed, I think RBR could of taken either and they both would of succeeded. Max is a step above in overtaking on Carlos but Carlos isn't sloppy either. I thought when on the track together they were evenly matched. They were not. Max almost invariably had the better race pace. S...

I dont think Alonso will gain much with this move. From a midfield underpowered car to another a midfield underpowered car. You have to think about the bigger picture. Do you really think that with Hamilton and Vettel both performing at a high level (and both younger than Alonso) there will be an a...

I dont think Alonso will gain much with this move. From a midfield underpowered car to another a midfield underpowered car. You are being far too generous calling the McLaren a midfield car. Well, I wont call it a backmarker either, because I'm convinced its a pretty good chassis, and the only prob...

Where's the option "even stevens"?
I dont think Vettel is any faster than Hamilton, the Ferrari is not inferior to Merc so far, I think they are pretty evenly matched

Did anyone check Perez's points tally in the WDC standings when compared to the Red Bull drivers? His consistency is speaking volumes. Indeed, its 37 Ric, 35 Max and 34 Perez, although to be fair both Red Bulls have 2 DNF and Perez none Also to be fair, Perez is driving for a team with about 1/4 of...

nixxxon

Its understandable, he spent many years working with Murray Walker.

I see many people voting for Hamilton.
I dont think he deserves the DOTD for one reason: he was helped by Bottas, slowing Vettel down a good amount and that probably was the key for his win

Hamilton, vettel & wehrlein. I'm a bit puzzled as to why recently there is fewer mention of Perez when he technically always in front of Ocon and Hulk yet people praise so much of them both but failed to highlight Perez. Well, in this race Hulk finished waaaaaaay ahead of his team mate compared to ...

nixxxon

By the way, where is the supposed massive upgrade of the Red Bull? They finished again so far back of Merc/Ferrari

nixxxon

Wehrlein gets my vote, he placed the Sauber in positions where it doesnt belong

nixxxon

Hulk/Wehrlein to not say the top two in the front.

Bottas was fast reduced to a mobile chicane for his team mate. Vettel does not have that luxury to have a co-driver competent of such stuff . Seems like it was not him who lost the race but his team. Driver of the day, Wehrlein. Stupidity of the day, Vandoorne smashing in Massa. Congrats to Hamilto...

Good old Pedro. He was born and lives just a few kilometers away from the track

It's not quite what we were looking for though. This was won by the strategists, both drivers gave everything they had but that medium in the final stint messed him up.

That's part of the race, both have had the same tires to use so...

Alonso in his McLaren overtaking both Williams down the straight. Sure has drs, but that's retry impressive from the Honda all of a sudden. The williams have been incredibly bad in this race, I dont understand it. The car eats the tyres or they screwed the strategy and in the end they got no tyres ...

Surprisingly good race and surprising amount of overtakings. Looks like they increased the DRS zone to make it more effective.

We've seen a proper head to head battle Hamilton vs Vettel

nixxxon

Massa is an idiot, typical move of him to not leave any space and screw anyone behind him or alongside him

I'll say it again, place a merc engine instead of the crap honda one and mclaren would be up there with Ferrari/Merc (at least the one driven by Alonso) I think most of us want to see that.

Lets wait and see because at the start of the season Ferrari are very strong but as the season progresses they tend to fade, they usually dont keep up with Mercedes in updates.
