Does anyone else believe that the OP deliberately created this topic to troll the users on this forum?

Noticeably, he/she hasn't responded in it at all...and yet has managed to elicit 2 pages of responses...

Ok, seen the incident again; there's no way he would have made the corner. Not comparable to Casino Square crash.

10-place grid penalty isn't enough. I have been supporting Maldonado, but in no way can I condone this behaviour.

I just wanted to point at that Maldonado's accident was caused because he turned into Casino too early, therefore hitting the inside wall. Could it have been the same with the Perez incident, in addition to misjudging Perez's speed? Could look very much like he turns in on Perez in that scenario? I'...

11/20. Williams was surprising for no. 20.

Jeez, it so difficult to predict this season! Might as well use a random name generator!

2. Jenson Button

5. Fernando Alonso

9. Michael Schumacher
10. Jean-Eric Vergne

as for winning races, there's an important point to be made here. Heidfeld had a pretty strong line up of teammtes in his time in F1. Question is, how many of his teammates managed a win in their time as teammates?.... A total of 1 win, was it? In a race where he was asked to let that driver throug...

I find all this talk about replacing Senna utter tosh. Realistically, he was a match for Maldonado in China (here they were EXTREMELY even in both quali and the race) and Bahrain, and was better in Malaysia (this despite missing FP1). Yes, he was well off the pace of his team-mate in both Australia ...

Does anyone know why the McLaren didn't set a time?

I was predicting a Maldonado podium at Monaco after Australia. Before the start of the race on Sunday, I thought that a good performance (NOT a win, however), would spur him on to that podium in Monaco. Now, however, I think the win will have made him a tad overconfident. I expect he will be fast an...

Spain's Circuit de Catalunya had, before yesterday, provided roughly 2 exciting races, and none since the 90s. Do people how processional the racing was at the circuit pre-2011? Even last year's race, which was comparative boring to this year's one and many other 2011 races, was far more exciting th...

Realistically, if the teams develop as expected with their budgets and history, I can only see Hamilton, Webber and only POSSIBLY one of the Lotus cars (more likely Raikkonen) and POSSIBLY Schumacher on a power circuit like Monza. In the mean time, however, in the next couple of races, I wouldn't be...

Spain 2012

1. Lewis Hamilton

Agh wish I'd switched Raikkonen and Webber in time, but oh well! Better performance than first two races.

There's next to no point in being sarcastic on the Internet. Too many people cannot understand it and a lot of the time it is too difficult to convey. Whilst I saw the irony in the OP's post, it was obvious that others were not going to, and as such this topic has descended into farce. On that note,...

A terrible start to this season!

9: Daniel Ricciardo
10: Mark Webber

Is the Ferrari the better car right now? Development would suggest it would be by the end of season (Sauber lack money) but could Perez have been challenging Alonso in that car? Not so sure. Ultimately, Ferrari will make the decision since Perez is at Sauber because of them. I'd rather they let Pere...

If you look at the experience of each driver in their relative situations for that race, Perez easily. If you look at who performed better in comparison to their car's ability and didn't make any mistakes. Alonso. I was about to post and say that it can only be Perez, but to be honest, Alonso was fl...

Should be up and racing soon hopefully. BUT...20 years ago they would still be racing. I am all for safety and everything, but this circuit has the biggest run-offs, gravel traps, and safest barriers ever known to man... It's not Adelaide 91 FFS... I seem to remember reading about a driver who chos...

I reckon Schumi will take the lead going into turn 2. Button gets a sluggish start but maintains 3rd. Lewis tries to defend too hard from Schumi, takes a bit of front wing damage and drops to 6th/7th after running wide. Webber is crowded out, and tries to take the wide in turn 1, and is plowed into ...

My vote goes to Heidfeld. Ferrari will desperately be needing all the points they can get, with Lotus and Mercedes looking to nab 3rd. In my opinion, Quick Nick still has a lot to offer F1. He did a good job at Renault last year, coming in as a replacement to drive a car which wasn't suited to him. ...

Was just wondering, when is the in-season test this season? Perfect opportunity to drop Massa before then if he's still underperforming, and give his replacement quite a few miles in the car to get to grips with it.

Oh dear, 85th! Not the start I was hoping for! If Vergne had held 10th on the line, I would have got an extra 12! Oh well. Malaysia 2012 1: Sebastian Vettel 2: Jenson Button 3: Lewis Hamilton 4: Kimi Raikkonen 5: Romain Grosjean 6: Fernando Alonso 7: Michael Schumacher 8: Nico Rosberg 9: Kamui Kobay...

Let's put it this way, would Button have won in Canada last year if he hadn't kept pushing, ultimately forcing Vettel into a mistake? No. It was a fantastic victory, but he too could have binned it on the last lap. Then what would he have looked like? There have been lots of incidences of drivers st...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjZY7DDR2d8 I'm no racing driver, so can someone please explain to me why after making that corner Massa kept pushing Senna wider and wider? I'm not being critical, I just am curious. He may have had a puncture already by that point, therefore limited turning ability....

This looks like it could be an interesting team rivalry! Before the weekend, I would have given all the plaudits to Senna (to be honest, I didn't like either driver, and thought neither deserved to remain in F1). Now, my opinion hasn't really changed but Maldonado really impressed me, but I want him...

I seriously think a stopgap should be used between Massa and Kubica (if he's ever coming back, which I don't think he is) or Perez. Surely what Ferrari need is a safe pair of hands to get the car in the points. Obviously there is still the opportunity for Massa to improve - it's only been one race o...

Mclaren Lotus Mercedes RedBull ???? If Kimi was on it I do believe he would of had pole in the Lotus and in the hands of Hamilton or Button you can surely Bet that Lotus would of been top 2. However race pace could shape things up, maybe Lotus has better race pace, or slow, maybe RedBull is faster ...

Does anyone know where Vietoris has gone this season? Is he focusing solely on DTM? Thought the guy had potential to do a solid job in F1.

1. What will be the best surprise? Romain Grosjean will be the real deal 2. What will be the worst surprise? Qualifying will still be boring 3. How many different teams will win races? 4 (Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari, Renault) 4. Who will be the first driver to fail to qualify for a race? de La Rosa, ...

Inkling tells me Vergne, but there's no way of knowing until both have driven in at least a few races for Toro Rosso (I don't count count Ricciardo's spell at HRT as being indicative of his ability).

http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2012/03/06/whispers/ Saward suggests Valencia is very close to being dropped now. Hope this is true but it needs to have a replacement venue put in place! Is there any chance of Turkey? I heard that when the updated calendar for 2012 was published, and Turkey was offic...

Excellent! I was looking forward to seeing this again. specdecible, you did a fantastic job last year, thanks for continuing your hard work! Australia 2012 1: Jenson Button 2: Sebastian Vettel 3: Nico Rosberg 4: Kimi Raikkonen 5: Fernando Alonso 6: Lewis Hamilton 7: Jean-Eric Vergne 8: Felipe Massa ...

Ready and raring to go!

Is it just me or does Felipe look taller and a bit rotund here?
