Why should he not be considered better than Vettel? In their year together Ricciardo beat Vettel because Vettel simply wasn't good enough to beat him. No if's or buts. Based on the only evidence available, yes, Ricciardo is better than Vettel. There are always ifs and buts. And driver performances ...

I still think Ricciardo is a good chance at Ferrari or Mercedes, who wouldn't be stupid to grab the opportunity while they can. When the Red Bull is in a position to compete, Ricciardo has shown he is the best overtaker in the business and can take the win when it's available. He's got the ability ...

If it wasn’t such a lunatic idea you’d swear by looking st that footage that it was deliberate.

The driver actually appears to correct his course & steer square into the back of stationary car.

That’s a weird crash.

Another nightmare for McLaren incoming and with Alonso's current mood it's not going to be pretty on the radio either. FOM were up to their usual tricks with him yesterday, apparently they cut the words "about Grosjean" out of his radio outburst about his brakes and not caring too much. What they b...

5 second penalty to be served within 3 laps. The idea that it can be either added to the end result or served at the next pit stop really allows teams to reduce the impact of the penalty down the bare minimum. Bottas' race was destroyed because of that incident and I feel it warranted more than a 5 ...

Dear lord. He drives me absolutely insane. :lol: Brundle and Coulthard are still the best commentators who've been on the job in Britain since I started watching the beebs broadcasts on occasion back around 2008 or something? I don't remember. I think the Legard guy is my least favourite by far, he...

Valsecchi is awesome, he's just not very good with the language. I've never heard anyone as excited about what he's commenting on. Dear lord. He drives me absolutely insane. BBC commentators are totes biased, and Crofty is by far the worst. Not sure anyone should be surprised or have a problem with...

Sky is biased and it creeps out in small ways sometimes.

Please don't say you mean Davide Valsecchi?

A third DRS zone has been added for the Austrian Grand Prix.

Blake and Exediron Completely agree with you both, and I have come to learn that during my time here on the forum. My post was trying to explain my thoughts and feelings at the time. I’m not trying to defend the poster, I disagree with the comments as well, it was more in response to the comment th...

F1 has never been the overtaking fest I think some people believe it should be. I remember some real processions throughout the 80's & 90's and at the great tracks like Spa & Silverstone but what has changed is the unpredictability of the sport. For me the main issues regarding processional & predic...

Max answers the question on what advice should he give Vettel regarding his driving style. Pay attention to Hamilton & then Raikkonen's 1000 watt expression: 1010932412908359681 Yeah like you making multiple mistakes is the same as someone making one mistake. :uhoh: Agree but I can see a 2010 vinta...

What is ridiculous about this is Vettel defied what people hate the most in F1 "TEAM ORDERS". People hate paying tax but be damned those who dodge paying it. Nothing ridiculous about it at all.

https://twitter.com/SkySportsF1/status/1010838872111157248 This is just heartbreaking. Poor guy :/ Sounds like a petulant tantrum to me. Accusing the team of not wanting him to do well? Grow up. Perhaps he's just not as good as he thinks he is. Yeah without knowing the back story this could be inte...

If I had a team i'd go for Leclerc without a second thought. One i'd think he'd provide better value for my money than Max & two he doesn't seen to have the entitlement attitude Max has although I will say Max seems to have toned it down just a little this year. Leclerc just seems to come in, get th...

Jeez that pit exit will be dodgy if its raining in the race.

Lots and lots of it. Why do we never have this on sundays? Is it raining? It is strange how we seem to have far more wet Saturdays than Sundays! Chucking it down. I think this will not be good for Ferrari, that's for sure. They haven't gotten into their groove yet and now they won't be able to befo...

So I guess the best solution is for the FIA to do away with this ridiculous component conservation philosophy and find a formula that's affordable and practical so the teams can have have as many components as they want and we can do away with these dumb penalties.

France:

1. Hamilton
2. Bottas
3. Vettel

Jezza13

Just thinking how interesting it'd be if Vettel was off contract at the end of this year too.

Jezza13

Hamilton is yet to sign, yes? So it makes sense that Mercedes would like to have options, and in that regard talks with Ricciardo seem logical. Both seem comfortable they'll be together next year and the delay is just to allow them to focus on the Ferrari threat http://www.espn.com.au/f1/story/_/id...

Agree with all this. Macca offers nothing beneficial to Ricciardo. He's on record as saying he's after a championship and not a pay day and if he goes to macca then he might as well say goodbye to any chance of a WC for good. Agree about Alonso as well. I think he's as good as gone. Maybe it's just...

Why on earth would Ricciardo go to McLaren, a team who are the slowest of the three Renault-powered teams (despite having the best driver of the lot) when he has said if he leaves Red Bull it will be in pursuit of a shot at the WDC? McLaren have shown zero ability to provide such an opportunity for...

Jezza13

Good that McLaren are offering $20m. Ricciardo can bargain a bit harder for a pay hike as well. McLaren is only an attraction to Norris. Ricciardo wants to win a title & Red Bull are more likely to deliver a car for that when compared to McLaren. Looking at Macca's form and taking into account what...

So here's some cannon fodder for the thinkers out there. Start up a 3rd championship for engine suppliers with a pretty decent carrot at the end for the winner. Each component failure costs the supplier points in that championship. That way it won't affect the WDC or WCC. Yes obviously there's flaws...

Germany - Argentina final with Germany win 2-1 in extra time.

Good to see Australia giving it to France.

I like Kimi. To be honest, but his career is over, time for fresh blood in F1. The problem with Ferrari, they only appear to be putting their eggs into one driver and that's Vettel. I hope I'm wrong here. Daniel would not allow Vettel to walk all over him. Not sure about Leclerc as a team mate ?......

Jezza13

Well, I myself don't rate Kimi highly as a driver, but I still think he gets too much criticism. I still think he is better than a lot out there. From what I can see, there are better drivers that I think could be doing a better job at Ferrari. Those who say Leclerc would be doing a good job alread...

Jezza13

As far as I know Ferrari threatened to leave because if the direction the sport has gone in the last 10 years, so their position is the correct one in my view. They didn't want the V6Hybrids, they wanted a more purist engine formula. Mercedes was a huge proponent for changing things up so it's more...

Part of the problem is that there is a solid percentage of people who actually condone this current culture of placating the largest manufacturer teams. Even among fans there are those who claim the F1 has to bend over backwards for Ferrari and that the Ferrari quit threat should be treated like so...
