To me, this is such a none story. Did he gain a time advantage cutting corners? Yes. Did it reduce the risk of him coming to a halt on the circuit or shedding lots of rubber on corners? Yes. The second question for me is all we need to know. So why in Spa did Vettel stay on the track instead of get...

COME ON KENT.

Let's do this. Only a couple of places to make up. Get them, find a gap in the traffic and hold station. Please don't go for silly glory!

Not sure if his presence has made any difference to the teams success. He did nothing for Ferrari with his time in a managerial position, then got the huff with them when he left and they started winning everything. No news story imo. He was also ineffective at Jaguar. He's a legend amongst F1 driv...

I think this shows why polls on forums really count for very little.

There is far more chance of getting back to the pits without leaving bits of tyre all over the racing line if they do that. If they know they are running last and nobody is going to be passing them, it's the sensible thing to do.

Are the stories I'm seeing on Twitter true that Honda have replaced either the engine, or something to do with the powertrain for each and every practice and quali session this weekend?

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/121578 Being reported by autosport, couldn't see another thread. I know it's only a rebranding but yes please! Would certainly soften the blow of losing the Lotus name from the grid. We lost the Lotus name from grid in about 1994 if I remember correctly. ...

I'll wait and see on this one. To me, the Green Lotus team of a few years ago was actually Lotus.

A re-branding holds nothing to me unless the company get fully involved. Otherwise it's just PR rubbish and a new colour.

I finally got my first ever snakes last week. I have many pets but have always wanted a corn snake. I got two and one has just started to shed this evening. I'd SO excited. They are fab creatures.

Called them Darwin and Wallace, after the two scientists of course!

I guess the seasons stats will look interesting. Buttons average grid position for the season may actually be further back than there are cars taking part!

At Monaco, being a short track, it would look like he was starting in Pole position!

Since his dad got him to fly on wires in probably the worst bit of promo I've ever seen, he's taken a bit of a step back. The reason we see him perhaps more than others is because of a number of things. One, he was at McLaren who are very keen on PR. Then Mercedes, a huge company returning to the to...

How about a very very shallow gulley of water? This would mean that any speed advantage they gained by taking the corner too fast would be negated by having a couple of wet tyres for a short while after! In fact, the could freeze the water! That'll learn um!

I like the Paul Ricard solution. Doesn't seem to fit in with anywhere else though.

If that's true, I can see a motorbike leaving over on the limit and staying on two wheels when it drops off even a small edge.

Nobody because it's a pathetic, outdated tradition that should be scrapped. Any particular reason you feel that way? I hate the way its been abused and cheapened down the years but its still a nice way for a lot of the decent people who get them to get recognition for their life's achievements and ...

Asphalt_World

Nobody because it's a pathetic, outdated tradition that should be scrapped. Completely disagree - I think those that make a difference should be honoured, and traditions should be upheld. I do think though, that it is too often used politically. But that starts to get off-topic, so to bring it back...

Personally I think it's beyond any doubt that he did run Niko off the the track. The problem is, this seems perfectly allowed in F1 which is a major flaw in the sport. There hardly seems to be a race without this kind of thing happening. It's far from being something that Hamilton is only guilty of....

That was a simply stunning race and again, the MOTO 3 race was a complete blast from start to finish. Shame for Kent but it's good to see riders going for it and not taking it easy even though they know the title is basically their's.

Can't wait for next race weekend.

Considering the sport is called F1, I'm struggling to see how anyone would not realise there is a number 1 in the logo!

I was an F1 and motorsport fan over 10 years before I passed my test aged 17. Therefore I have no way of knowing!

So, Bernie has arranged for the European GP to clash with Le Mans.

Um, now I wonder if that has anything to do with a certain F1 driver doing rather well at Le Mans this year!

Asphalt_World

I was certainly the wrong thing to have done. That said, I do feel there should be some way of getting marshals on to the track to pick up little bits of debris without having to have 5 laps behind a safety car. Sometimes, even the smallest of contacts with another car can leave a bit of carbon in t...

Yeah, he had none in 2007!

OK, so he's just got out of the car but it was prior to any help. It took ages...

So, still nobody assisting the driver!!!

The center of the rear wheel is missing. That was some impact.

Don't they produce them to required standards? It's not simply their fault if they don't perform that well. I think it is their fault that they make them so fragile.

That was crazy from I assume Rosberg.

I appreciate the SC board was being shown, but to slow down so quickly through a corner is asking for trouble. Why not accelerate out of the corner and then gradually slow? Could have been a big shunt behind.

Asphalt_World

I simply feel it's a shame that a sport that has worked so hard to improve safety of cars and circuits proves that the work has paid off, only for someone to claim it's luck!

I completely, absolutely disagree!

When you prove luck exists, start on the tooth fairy next!
