If it wasn't on TV it didn't happen eh? Good thing for lap charts. And sorry but in 2012 "people of note" includes more than Jenson, Lewis, Mark, and Fernando. okay then - forget the people of note part,even though that would also include rosberg, schumi, perez, kobayashi, kimi (who i mentioned), g...

I don't know what he is doing in F1, seriously, what is the point? He wrecks races seemingly on purpose, we saw him hold up many drivers who were not racing against him but were there because of pitstops, then just in front of him is Di Resta who yields easily because common sense dictates there is ...

Also, Seb and Mark were doing roughly equal laps when Mark's tires were much newer throughout. Mark's times had pretty well fallen off before he came in each time (which felt like every five minutes), whereas Seb stayed consistent. FWIW the only real backmarkers in that race were HRT, Marussia and ...

I'm not a fan of these tyres and fast degredation, but i can deal with it and can see why people do like it. However, the rubber marbles are a joke.

FormulaFun

Kimi was probably having to push very hard to keep Seb behind due to inferior machinery, his tyres went off the cliff and he dropped down the order faster than a HRT on Pole, nothing about his overtake was special, it was average given the state of kimi's tyres. Additionally, in the later laps when...

Hamilton ontrack overtakes today - Kobayashi, Webber x2, Perez, Di Resta, Maldonado, Senna, Massa, Vettel, Kimi

Vettel ontrack overtakes today - Kimi

FormulaFun

If anything, today's race answered that the 'racing through the field' everyone seems to expect, is not as straightforward as they claim. Vettel was suffering from an enormous top speed gap, as was visible to everyone in the beginning behind di Resta. He was faster in the corners, but di Resta was ...

Awesome drive from Hamilton today, 7th - 3rd even though he had to fight through a lot of traffic included the usual Massa train, some move lovely overtakes for another youtube compilation

FormulaFun

So as it stands, nothing from the FIA, no mention of it from RBR or Vettel yet some on this forum have a real issue with it. Go figure..... Gotta love Hammy haters who laughed there tiny little t¡ts off when Schumi blocked the hell out of him at Monza last year but he do anything and the hammer of ...

I dont actually rate BBC's coverage so far this year. The new Garry bloke who's taken over Ted's role is crap, so far he's not got a single prediction or piece of info right. You're kidding? Today he accurately predicted where quali cut off times would be to the 10th of a second! Maybe he’s not got...

Of the teammate battles the one that impresses me the most is Lauda winning over Alain Prost in 1984. Here Lauda was old and past his peak, while AP was completely at his peak!! That is impressive. In all actuality Prost beat Lauda in 1984. However the half awarded points for Monaco was the differe...

sky is way better than the BBC already and it's only done 2 races, no more smug Jake & dull Coulthard sneering at Eddie in the most cringe worthy fashion. And they just extended their race day coverage by 30 mins to get more post-race analysis done

i claim he couldn't beat Senna and i stand by that, the fact that he had to take him out in Japan as he was too scared that he would lose the WDC at Australia.

clearly you dont either

So I didn't say he was robbed of a WDC then. That's a good start. Keep that in mind please. Now you don't seem to grasp the fact that Prost had more points overall. I didn't say that it is the most important thing or that he was aiming to get more points, it just happened. Anyway, it is a fact that...

i dont understand why people think that if F1 goes to Bahrain it will some how promote what is happening there and support of it.

Not a fan of Prost at all to be honest, lucked into a WDC and sucked Balestre off for another, probably should have been 2x WDC and couldn't have a strong teammate I'd rate Mansell above him to be honest, the unluckiest man ever Apparently FormulaFun is just havin' fun with us...

Well okay he was Senna's team mate and Mansell's team mate but he left McLaren because he couldnt beat Senna and used politics to outmaneuver Mansell as well. Then veto'd them both as team mates because he couldn't handle them, as can be seen in Senna's rant about Prost. It doesn't matter what the ...

It;s totally fair! Why people didn't people come with such a rants about it when Kimi received penalty? Again, you're not looking hard enough.

even during qually laps they are trying to manage their tyres which is a bit annoying With the Pirelli's everyone has to manage the tires so similarly, that everyone is going all out in respect to their car's pace and everyone's tires go off at around the same time i'm not sure it was his meaning b...

Prost never Veto'd Mansell. Exactly. The only veto i can remember is of Senna vetoing Derek Warwick going to Lotus in 1985...

Yeah but the problem with Pirelli's is that the tyres dont gradually degrade where you get slower and slower and slower, they degrade a bit then fall of the proverbial cliff That is said heaps but is not actually true anymore.
