That Mercedes isn't half bad with Lewis in it... Championship is probably out of reach, but race wins look like a possibility!

shay550

Let's wait till winter testing...Mercedes will definitely give it a go for 2013.

Taking 2012 form only, I have no expectations - probably be battling with the Torro Rosso's / Force India's and maybe Lotus (Grosjean).

Who ever wins, I think it is a fair question to pose how motivated that individual will be next season. When you talk about drivers who are triple world champs, you go into the realm of Prost / Senna / Schumacher / Stewart etc... Basically - legend status. It will be extremely difficult for either d...

Fernando has been great on the starts partly because the long straights at the start of the race have allowed the Ferrari to really stretch its legs down the main and back straights. The short run from the start to turn 1 might hamper any sights of challenging the Red Bulls going into turn 1 tomorro...

shay550

It rubs me the wrong way what they did, but F1 has never been a bed of roses. Fernando has been burned by the hands that feed him - remember Monza 2006? That, and also the Michael Schumacher early 2000's domination makes it easy for him to live with moments like this. Also it can be argued that Red ...

I'm really proud of the job they did. I really hope this track will inspire a U.S driver or team to eventually become a part of the F1 fraternity.

Rain on Saturday might be more important than rain on Sunday. If one of the drivers gets knocked out in q1 or q2 it may well decide the championship.

I think Montezemelo put it perfectly today when he said "two roosters will create instability" when speaking of Vettel potentially coming to Ferrari in 2014. The two roosters at Macca have consistently taken points off each other the last three years, and with no outright No.1 driver the team has su...

Col. Joseph Kittinger was the guy giving Felix all the instructions, held the record himself - incredible!

What a day for Red Bull!

Eddie Jordan is out of contract with BBC at the end of this year. I think he would be a great addition as an analyst, as long Americans can get past his Irish accent.

^ had to look that up on wikipedia. So Minardi's longest drought was from 1995 to 1999. Before and after that they scored a handful points here and there. Pretty amazing how long they existed, and the drivers that have passed through their teams to go on to greater success. Fernando Alonso Alex Zana...

I like the commentators over at Speed, but a bigger channel like NBC would do better in promoting F1 in the US, and they should considering there's going to be two races there. :lol: Promoting F1 in the US for NBC means $$$$ which would mean airing it daytime....Now think about what that means........

Why are F1 drivers under such microscopes? Every radio transmission is over analyzed...Ridiculous...

Oh, your de-facto opinion is of the general public, here's me thinking you had an opinion of your own. How do you define general public anyway? :lol: did I say Defacto opinion? well when the charts etc are piling them under the one heading, when someone tunes into the radio and they hear Rapping on...

Your original comment was that you thought r&b and rap is "all the same." I'm glad through this dialogue that you were read up through some wiki pages and understand there is a difference. If you find time to actually listen to some music, that distinction will come even more apparent. Some of my f...

] No, Trey Songz is an r'n'b singer that occasionally raps. R&B means Rhythm and Blues. R&B and rap are close - in that many rap artists will use r&b artists on their records (and vice-versa). However, R&B doesn't encompass rap. Rap is an element of hip-hop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop and...

Read an interesting article on autosport recently about these three teams, and the fact that they haven't scored a single point in almost three years of running. First off, hats off to them to keep going, and being an in-road for rookies, and new drivers, but what if in any impact will these teams h...

The biggest issue at Mclaren in 2007, and then from 2010-current has been that their have been two extremely talented drivers in the same team. If you look at winners of the drivers championship you would have to go back to the 1990 season when Prost and Senna were racing against each other to find ...

Can't believe I missed out on tickets. General admission sold out! I saw them on sale three months ago, and I'm now kicking myself...

shay550

Probably not, some analysts have pointed to Perez and Button's similar driving styles. I think this may be advantage for Macca next year.

shay550

Nah, don't believe this. The Macca is a fast car, but I think they may have had to reign it in a little after their multiple gear-box failures. Have they had to sacrifice performance for reliability at this point? That's what it looks like from the outside looking in.

A lot more streaming of UK content going forward. With broadband speeds increasing and smart tv's - we really don't need these fancy HD channels anymore.

Good f**king riddance. Speed/Fox sports coverage is terrible anyway, I wont be paying for this channel any longer. I remember watching the Canadian grand prix and their were 3-4 min commercial breaks every 4-5 laps! it was so bad. On top of that, the commentators were fairy cakes too. Thats why I h...

haha...being sarcastic, but what is with the political 'Team JB' we've seen this past two years at Macca. I mean its working for him at Macca. He's won the interteam vote for "Least Petulant Brat" , and "The Gent Award." It kind of eats me up though to see the guy that was the "playboy" at Benetton ...

That means he has as good a chance as anyone now really. They have the best car and he's a better driver so he would have to be the main title contender here (excluding Alonso) Maybe McLaren was the best car in Hungary but that hasn't lasted very long this season. McLaren's and Red Bull's performan...

It was a cock-up on Mclaren's part. Button, could of asserted himself more in making a decision to stay out a few more laps, but like so many times this season the team data seems to be flawed.

shay550

Like Steve Jobs says - B players hire C players.... Whitmarsh is a B player.

shay550

Was it case that Hamilton was just slow, or was Vettel just on another planet this race? Unbelievable pace. He stayed out 3 laps longer than Lewis, and was 4 seconds away after only two laps. The track characteristics have suited Red bull over the years, but that was incredible pace. Up until the sa...
