I have a question. If Hulkenberg got a gearbox penalty for changing his gearbox because it was damaged in a crash, how come Alonso could do it when he got crashed into in Spa?

LITE992

I am curious how one can judge that "cota sucks" before a car has ever touched the track? Because the layout copies famous corners from Silverstone, Suzuka, Istanbul, and Hockenheim (although that was an epic fail). The only turns it didn't copy are the last turns, turn 1, and the turn before the b...

Tracks. Australia rules. Malaysia is the awesome. China is a knockoff of Malaysia, but still awesome. Bahrain sucks. Barcelona is alright. Monaco rocks. Canada is the best. Silverstone is awesome. New Hockenheim rules, but the old one was better. Nurburgring is one of the best. Hungary sucks. Spa ru...

It's probably Parc Ferme stopping teams from setting up a car for a wet race, when they can just make a dry setup because that will usually happen. If there was no Parc Ferme rule, wet qualifyings would not be stopped because they could actually use a wet setup.

Domination is good for F1

LITE992

Vettel has talent. Webber has talent, but isn't championship material. Hamilton is a drama queen. Button is a champion, but not that quick. Alonso is the class of the field. Massa is the luckiest person in F1. Schumacher still has the skills, but Schumacher in his prime was the absolute best. Rosber...

Nothing sucks more than Karthikeyan

LITE992

No, because he and Hulkenberg haven't consistently impressed like Perez has. Di Resta has had personal best finishes in Singapore twice and Bahrain, but other than that it's like he's invisible in a race. Same with Hulkenberg.

The fuel rule in qualifying was stupid. Whenever a driver posted a fast time it wasn't because he pushed as hard as he could, it was because he had less fuel. Qualifying was boring.

-Stop asking for championships to be won with inferior cars. It rarely happens. -McLaren will not die when Lewis leaves. They won more championships before him. -Marussia should just get consistency with their new drivers. -Team orders are a part of F1. You would call for them if your favourite driv...

Yeh I've had my photo taken with fernando, felipe, heikki, jerome dambrosio, Martin whitmarsh, Strabo domenicalli - not sure how to post pictures on here or even if I can? Met them all at silverstone :) very happy days !!! Yeah you can. Sign up at ImageShack and upload your photos there, then get t...

Most likely Maldonado or Grosjean. It might also be either Force India driver but none of them has consistently impressed like Maldonado or Grosjean.

He's getting experience

LITE992

I think Ferrari allowed Perez to go to McLaren so he could get the necessary experience in a top team before Ferrari takes him on around the time when Alonso's contract expires. Alonso has a contract until the end of 2016 , by which time he will be 35, but we'll see if he wants to leave Ferrari, ret...

Yes I like them. In 2011 the top 4 teams didn't change their drivers and that was boring. Now we have Perez going to McLaren in Hamilton's place, which is a start.

LITE992

Hamilton and Schumacher is a much more exciting driver lineup at Mercedes.

LITE992

As a Schumacher fan, and because I'm going to the 2013 Canadian Grand Prix, I'd really want to see him racing in F1 for one more year. But Sauber doesn't seem to be likely, because Peter Sauber will probably fill the seats with promising young talent. Lotus? They have Kimi who is sure to stay and Gr...

Michael Schumacher and someone else.

LITE992

I see Schumacher haters always look at all the bad things and judge him based on that, so I decided to go over the WDCs focusing on their worst points. -Schumacher crashes into his championship rivals. -Alonso needs #1 status or he won't win. -Hamilton cracks under pressure and subsequently hides in...

The year Kimi crashed out late in the race (I think 2009), he looked absolutely exhausted. The physical demands of this race definitely adds another variable, which is great for spectators. I don't think it should be changed even if ALL the drivers find it extremely tiring. Not all drivers look tir...

Totally unbiased fan reactions:

Interesting to note that the 10 place grid penalty was because of a "similar incident" earlier this year. Consistency at its finest.

LITE992

I picked Hamilton, but it's really tight between him and Vettel. In the second stint, Vettel was closing in, but there was no guarantee there was going to be an overtake. It looked like it was going to last the whole race. Can someone explain to me what Di Resta did to get 4th? Was he that fast or d...

What people are usually doing is comparing Kubica in 2010 to Maldonado in 2012. Kubica at that point had more experience, but they both stood out early in F1.

LITE992

Singapore this year was his best drive in my opinion. When he was racing Alonso they were side by side but he defended hard but fair, "Leaving the space."

LITE992

China's only notable for the first corner and the long straight. There are a lot of corners blatantly copied from Malaysia in China. Sector 2 in China and Malaysia are almost identical except some turns go left instead of right.

LITE992

Nah, overtaking move of the SEASON

LITE992

Pic is just like Di Resta. He beats his more experience teammate in his rookie year.

LITE992

If Button had crashed into Vettel it would have been the most clumsy thing since Vettel crashing into Button in Spa 2010. Just returning the favour I suppose.

LITE992

To be honest I haven't seen Di Resta do anything notable, except when he has done one stops that ended up working. The British media are backing him which is to be expected of them, like when the BBC listed him as the best rookie in 2011 because he had the most points, when Perez was doing a much b...

LITE992

I would keep Hulkenberg. Di Resta is still meh.

LITE992

From my perspective, i'd say that a potential driver-related race of attrition is not a bad thing. People suggest that Monza is hard on the cars in terms of being on throttle for extended periods; I say we should have this kind of variety of races. This. Singapore is longer than any other race, and...

Montreal, of course. In second place is Rouen Les Essarts.

LITE992

I suppose now they are less of an embarrassment to F1.

LITE992

I'll try not to repeat anything I said earlier: -The reason I admire Maldonado and Grosjean is because they're naturally fast, but being relatively new to F1 they are also very clumsy. Schumacher was like that when he started with Benetton, where he crashed a lot in practice. But he was able to clea...

People are complaining about no longer pushing to the limit; well they are, but on equipment that is not designed to last 1 race but several Grands Prix. I'm sure once an engine has done the distance it's designed to do (3 GPs?) it falls apart.

Mine is his Singapore 2012 helmet. Not because it lights up, but it looks similar to his Monza 2011 helmet, but much more appealing to me.

LITE992

Teams believed that they improved about 2 seconds when they got the Barcelona. Ferrari clearly made more progress than anyone but they started at a lower level than a team like Red Bull of McLaren.

LITE992

They won't cut the laps because one or two drivers are dropping out because of endurance issues. More like one every few years.
