Lose and gain - the engine sounds are horrible but hearing the tyres squeals and crowd was great. It's the poorly attended races that will be lacking - but the cheers for Daniel were great to hear from the 'normal' camera angles. Plus the cars looked like they were on the ragged edge almost all the ...

So Forza 5 is here. My wheel isn't here though so playing with controller at the moment. I've never played a Forza game with a controller until now so I am a complete mess! The AI is comprised of other player's "Drivatars" which is an excellent feature - Drivatars were introduced with the original F...

Would have been a different story if the tyres allowed the drivers to go 100% all the time. I actually rate Rosberg as being well rounded these tyres are definitely not suited to Hamilton's driving but it is what it is.

The game looks fabulous and the inclusion of the Lotus is just icing on the cake - always liked Forza so the next gen choice was a no brainer after seeing the gameplay videos and trailers. I'll probably end up owning both but Forza 5 and Ryse look great.

scouseknight

The Lotus looks stunning in Forza - it's a big picture so won't embed:

Sure it was rude and unprofessional - but no worse than what we've heard from Kimi back to his engineers which is deemed hilarious. It is unprofessional, rude is something completely different. People just simply dont seem to understand the concept, when you are the boss or a person in power you do...

Ross hasn't always been a team principle you need to go look at his other work then you'll understand.

Vettel needs to prove himself in an ordinary car, like Alonso did in the past 3 years. No, he doesn't - he has proved beyond doubt he can win championships in a car capable of doing so - not every driver that has had this opportunity has been able to do so (Webber is a prime example). The car doesn...

I think Alonso could be matching Paul in the fat neck contest. http://i.imgur.com/kDjAx.jpg But i think this guy trumps them both, i remember reading that in his prime it measured 20 inches, his neck that is :) http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Sport/Pix/pictures/2008/10/31/1225454147507/Mike-Tys...

That was no mistake he was pushing to hard the car and first 2 sector he was 0.234s faster than Button that was already 0.67s faster than Barrichelo... Whithout that loose of control i think he would have been 0.4-0.5s faster than Button and more than 1s faster than his teamate Barrichelo. Contradi...

Incredible save by Schumacher on that lap the mistake cost him the pole but wow I don't think many drivers would have kept that lap going!

scouseknight

But the whole issue was that he wasn't allowed to race the obviously slower Lewis Didn't you see the two of them passing and re-passing each other leading up to this? They were racing each other pretty hard. Ross made the same call that has been made countless times before - hold station and get th...

scouseknight

I bet my right arm had Massa being instructed to hold stations like Rosberg was the forum would be full of "Alonso the farce needs team orders to keep Massa at bay" but with Hamilton everything is "I'm proud of Hamilton, he's so humble" the fact is he took the 3rd place and didn't look back, you re...

The Schumacher incident in 2002 was attacked because of how early on in the season it was - there was nothing illegal about it but it was totally unwarranted at the time it wasn't as if it was a close season in the making. No bias here I am a long time Ferrari fan and was against it at the time. The...

This is what Lewis had to say about the situation in the press conference: "I think it's difficult to say for me what we do moving forward, but I will go and speak to the team and obviously whether or not I should apologise to Nico... I did say to him that he'd done a fantastic job. Would I let him ...

Ruthless, polarising, flawed genius - enjoyed watching him race in his prime not so much his later years but what a talent and work ethic - glad I got to see him race live a few times when he was still on top of his game.

scouseknight

I ended up voting for Vettel but it was a close call between him and Button. Vettel - enormous pressure, last at one point, damaged car, no radio towards the end - kept it neat and tidy. Another slice of luck with safety car though. Button - drove a solid race and had to contend with the safety car ...

scouseknight

LOL, hamilton tribe. Its always other people fault. Last year it was team fault for being bias to Jenson when it was lewis that screw himself up. This year when Jenson struggle, he's fairy cakes. Lewis was nvr at fault by any means. Anyway, reliability is nvr a new issues for Mclaren. Those who thi...

Vettel IS a great driver but not based on this performance - he made entirely too many mistakes over the weekend for this to be an example of how good he is. I thought being disqualified was harsh and smacked of championship interference so maybe the insane good fortune he had in this race has redre...

People are throwing out "soundly beaten" when in fact it wasn't the case at all

scouseknight

For me, it's Alonso - just couldn't warm to him.

When he first joined Ferrari it was a case of glad he's on our side because of his ability but his work ethic and fighting spirit have made me a fan.

scouseknight

Didn't watch the race live been ill so needed sleep but watched the live recording I made. Track is pretty good for action don't know what the problem is that some people have with it - some great wheel-to-wheel stuff there - loved the Hulk's double-pass and the Raikkonen/Hamilton duel - great racin...

Can't say I agree with this.

Hamilton was widely criticised for the incicent at Fuji on these very forums. Button had a near miss behind the safety car in his Williams days so it's not just Vettel that has previous here.

I am expecting Maldonado to get in front - I just hope it's clean!

I am sure he is gutted about that - once again a nice positive thread gets polluted with unecessary negativity

It was a fantastic lap - credit where it is due.

Enjoyed watching him race for most part found some of his maneuvers to be a bit clumsy at times but he wasn't yet the finished article yet was still a driver that was highly rated by his peers. He has a rather rabid fanbase though (a bit like Raikkonen does) which does sour things when you try to ha...

Sometimes, one line can reveal more than a long article. When it suits your own opinion maybe. First of all, it was toward the end of the season after Alonso became estranged with McLaren - he was already on his way out of the team. Secondly, it wasn't looking like there was going to be a challenge...

As for Senna, that was tit for tat, and a year too late.

And that makes it right does it? This is the real double-standard - Senna and Schumacher.

Button was brilliant but I'd give it to Vettel.

Hamilton needs to win another championship with Macca or he could find himself completely out of F1 overnight, like Mansell et al. It's all very well acknowledging that he hass the raw talent to win but if he doesn't put together a campaign and MAcca get tired of him , he won't be able to jump ship...

i think this was totally stupid. these penalties are getting really ridiculous by the day. sure it was for Seb and it got JB up to second and Kimi on the podium, so i should be happy but i think it was totally uncalled for. simply penalizing a driver for making an audacious overtaking move doesnt m...

If only Vettel would have done what Montoya did. A textbook example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH6dkya900s +100000 That battle came to my mind when I saw the off-track overtake. Vettel would have been able to perfectly do what Montoya did. Let the other pass and overtake a few corners later. P...

Just to make it clear: I'm neither a Vettel fan nor a Button fan. And I don't understand all the stick Vettel gets in this forum. But this time it was a really easy call. Charlie (or the FIA?) clarified after the Hamilton / Rosberg incident, that - in future - it's not allowed to overtake with four...

The still photographs don't prove anything. The context is completely lost.Needs to be a continuous video at full speed to see what happened and how quickly Vettel changed direction or stopped trying to turn. I've already posted a link to the video from where I got the captures - here it is again: ...
