When will they get rid of these Middle East Grand Prix? I cannot remember a memorable one over the last 10 years. A lot of people voted the race at Abu Dhabi last year as the best of the season. Don't remember it at all. I remember the ensuing US GP in Austin, that was a good race. Abu Dhabi was bo...

Boring race thus far.

The pay driver issue is almost a non starter. the pay drivers we have now are far far superior than the ones of the past. Even Chilton who is probably the weakest driver on the grid is good enough to look decent in the leading feeder series. Plenty of teams have run 2 pay drivers in the past and ve...

Raikkonen back of grid that's tough

Eva09

Because the teams he goes to never seem to win anything.

Sebastian will just play with Mark, keeping a gap of 2-3 seconds. As soon as Mark pits Sebastian will pounce, put in a couple of hot laps then pit and take the lead of the race. This is presuming Mark leads by the first corner. This sounds more likely to me too... Mark is not going to let Seb by ea...

Should be called downdates really

They really need to get that sorted. Next season if they have the best car at the start, they will still not win unless they develop it. In fact developement = 70% !

Abu Dhabi has to be the most rubbish track in F1 history.

I don't know.

Rumours of a gearbox failure.

But indeed it was close. Again!

Did anyone realize Vettel was ranting in the car after he crossed the line? No, I missed that - what did he say? Well not that i heard anything also. I think he was furious from his gestures in his cockpit. And also, Horner doesnt seem to sound motivated when Webber steals pole. I think he ran wide...

Yeah for some reason that thought popped into my head. I didn't even see him spin only the wheels smoking so I knew he had. You can change the engine but not the gearbox, right?

He went too much over the curb in one of the final corners. Every driver had four wheels off track at some point in Quali. No point giving out penalties to the entire grid because nothing would change. I see reprimands being handed out a far more likely possibility. I was not talking about penaltie...

My god, there's a select few drivers who are still ignoring it and its becoming a joke now. The stewards said they'd be more consistent but I guess not. You reap what you sow to be honest. I hope the FIA's stupid little heads explode thinking about it because I'm not very sympathetic. I know Stewar...

Difficult to get a star driver if you can't get a decent car.

Right now McLaren need to get their feet in order.

yes it been said many times before, Alain said it as well that Senna just wanted to beat him every Sunday. he didn't want just to beat him he wanted to demoralise him, like donnington 93 , a first lap I will never forget Donington 1993 was actually a harbinger of the things to come. Not Senna winni...

McLaren seem to struggle a lot with the suspension of the car. Ferrari have taken bold steps in this in the last few years, and had reasonable success (more than McLaren have had). Perhaps Massa would make a good option for McLaren to develop their car in this area? They have struggled to make it wo...

Nico is definitely stronger than Jenson, he has straight up beaten Lewis more times in 2/3s of a season than Jenson did in 3 seasons. There is only a handful of races Jenson outperformed Lewis outright without some kind of question mark over it. Australia 2012, Singapore 2011 and Japan 2011 all the...

He also said in the same intervi...

For me, to leave Benneton and come to Ferrari for the challenge and do far better than anyone could have imagined is remarkable. Schumacher left Benetton because of things that happened in 1994, not because he wanted a challenge. Doesn't take away from his qualities and achievements, but it's not a...

Senna was awesome had his career not been cut short I think he would have eclipsed anyone. Senna was indeed an awesome racer. However I think he'd have had a very hard time from Schumacher if he'd lived to race longer. My opinion too, and i liked Senna while never warming too much to Schumacher. I ...

It wasn't too bad in 2011-2012. This year they have brought tyres that are really far too soft to race.

Teams do spend money on testing. In simulators. Mercedes absolutely splurged on their upgraded simulator this year.

Yeah and also the travelling thing. So many races and so many flyaway races.

When we had tyres that didn't degrade we had no overtaking on track and it all happened in the pits.. That was the pits to me They are racing and F1 has never really been flat out every single race.

The article also misses another point. What's been unusual about 2013 and to a lesser extent 2011 is Webber's complete inability to beat Vettel ever, at all. When Barrichello and Schumacher were teammates it was different. Barrichello would beat Schumacher every so often, including quite a few times...

"Schumacher won seven titles, including an unmatched five in a row. In all but one of those seasons he did so in a car that was by far the quickest in the field" Well in 2002 and 2004 he had by far the quickest car. In 2001 he had a much more reliable car than anyone besides Coulthard (it wasn't fas...

Vettel won yesterday, he was always going to, but I thought the race was fascinating in terms of all the other battles going on throughout the field. This year we've been forced to appreciate the fights lower down the order, and I think with the end of the season fast approaching and contracts stil...
