I don't see the need for a 107% rule. Either you have that, and rescind the blue flags for cars about to be lapped rule, or vice versa. Yes good point. It's different now teams have gps and radio. Maybe they could say that over 107% it's a single blue flag. It would be a pity not to give the Caterh...

Yeah he was only a few miles out.

Easy mistake to make; we are always hearing about Red Bull being in Brackley, after all.

I have it on good authority from someone who works in MK that the factory guys want Nico to win the WC. He is liked far more than Lewis who they find arrogant and all "me me me". Also he rarely visits the factory whereas Nico is friendly and a constant visitor. Now I don't suggest there is any deli...

Worried for Lewis now. Why oh why didn't he finish his lap?! In my eyes he is faster than Rosberg in every way but he just keeps messing things up, Loosing faith in him right now :( Ruined my weekend, I thought he had it then when he lost, I was like in shock, over the next hour I felt worse like s...

Dan was a bit lucky...

He pressed the wrong button again, surely

No seriously, luck doesn't necessarily even itself out, look at Schumi in 2012, or Webber or Herbert in their careers.

It wasn't his race engine, Paddy is just saying.

I bet it looked alright when you could see his face and know it was a joke. Then in print it's a bit of a disaster, like Hamilton's infamous 'monkeys at the back' joke that went so wrong.

Hi all. why is nico seven tenth ahead of lewis? clearly nico is being favoured by the team... never mind, lewis is already off to mclaren to pair up with vettel ^^ Lol. Seriously I think Lewis' long-run pace looked a bit quicker if anything, but with the data exchange thing they'll both be hiding p...

Don't some start/finish straights fill up with marbles during a race? I'm trying to think.

At the end of that short interview he was asked if he would like to have a woman driver as team mate. Reply: No, no.. Imagine she beats you, that would be the last straw... better in the kitchen. That's more or less the gist of it. The first part he compliments her as a driver and says it proves th...

Mclaren need to sort themselves out. If they build a good car, Jenson will bring home the points. If they want someone with more speed in the other car go for it, but they need a consistent points scorer in the other. If they had two Perez's last year they'd have had many less points than they actu...

I think Ron would be good. He is very passionate about the sport meaning he would do what is best for it. As well as this he is a tough businessman meaning he wouldn't bend over backwards for the teams for a little extra cash. I'm not sure Ron has enough charm for it, personally. He makes enemies q...

Chaincase

I think he's learned in F1 now that you cannot be conservative in this sport. I'd pick Mclaren Honda presuming Mercedes keep their drivers. Honda can copy Mercedes' engine with the split turbo and maybe can make a breakthrough. Ferrari is going nowhere. I had the impression they can all go to a spl...

It's shameful how much I want Rosberg to come unstuck this weekend

I think Toto ticks all the obvious boxes. Not afraid to fall out with anyone including his fellow Austrians, ex-racer, businessman, good social skills, media-friendly and 4 decades more up-to-date than what we've been used to.

The 2012 car was very fast, even after the FIA nobbled it with the weird floor tolerance decision. My recollection is that the biggest problem was the decision-making and pitstops at the track, which was Sam Michael's area. So I don't think it was the design side, which was Paddy's area anyway. For ...

You keep trying to convince yourself of things that aren't there dude. It's getting to the funny stage now. That's feeble. Say something that sets Monte's 2007 stance alongside hiring Alonso. Ideally, something straightforward, and that might offer a clue about Ron and Nando's possible rapprochement.

The only one evading anything is you. You can't see the truth even when it's thrust in front of your nose. It's getting rather pathetic tbh Chaincase. Anything Blake says you will claim is 'evasive'.

What point did you make, chaincase that merits a rebuttal? The one both of you are desperately evading :D Nando was a bad guy spy, according to Ferrari's moral stance in 2007.

The only evidence found about the dossier was of trivial bits and pieces that McLaren looked at. The quick-shift, tyre gas and something else. Normal F1 stuff as Pedro said. They had the COMPLETE dossier for the 2007 Ferrari F1 car, for Ferrari's engineering department, etc. How do you not think th...

Ferrari hired Alonso for his driving, not for his part in 2007. Things didn't begin to thaw between Alonso and Ferrari until mid 2008 when it became clear Raikkonen had lost interest and Ferrari were looking for another driver of WDC standard to replace him. Alonso was the only real option for them...

Alonso obviously. He became the devil the minute he signed for Ferrari accordingly to Chaincase by the looks of it.

I like Alonso.

# 2 spy? Just who was #2 spy? you are making one hell of a reach with your last sentence. Sadly, I suspect that you believe it. Well did Nando ask for Ferrari IP to be stolen, or not? Morally, his behaviour was as bad as anyone's. Were Ferrari outraged about that, in 2007, or not? Then lo in 2009 t...

Where is the farce? Interesting that two of them ended up at Ferrari... yes, that is amusing. However, I don't get the "Farce" in things. McLaren should have been banned from 2007 (and in my opinion 2008 as well). In my opinion, it was only the fact that you had a defending WDC driver and the new "...

Alonso cost Uncle Ron $100M, so despite everything said he'd have to drive for free to get back in a McLaren. He could afford to of course. But, after multiple years in a dog Ferrari, it would be the world's most massive gamble for any top flight driver to go to McLaren Honda in 2015. . Alonso didn...

Absolutely. De La Rosa also was partly responsible, I believe he never felt comfortable in the team afterwards as a result. De la Rosa kept working with McLaren in 2008 and 2009.
