Massa: "I mean, for sure I am happy to be with Ferrari for sure."

I remember Canada 2011; in the opening stages there was a rush for intermediates as the track dried up, but Vettel stayed on the full wets and was still faster. I think Vettel has a huge chance to win the WDC, even on a setup that provides a compromise for wet and dry. He can afford to finish a few ...

Actually most of the backmarkers did a fairy cakes job of getting out of the way. They were clinging to the racing line so the leaders had to drive around them affecting their corner entry. Glock parked it on the apex once or twice.

Lewis has ripped him a new one this year just like 2010. Outperformed by Jenson twice all year, Spa and Australia. Jenson won 2 races and could not have won another single race. Lewis has won 4 races and could/should have been been 6/7 wins. indeed maybe Lewis could have won in Abu Dhabi and Singap...

i find it funny that people moan about this yet people praise Mika's move on Schumi which he used the help of a backmarker as one of the greatest overtakes in F1 history. :o What the hell are you talking about dude? Schumacher was equally trying to use that backmarker to block Hakkinen that day but...

I'd like to see Prost because I'm a big fan.

657 to Lewis 647 to Jenson. 10 points in favour to LH. Very interesting, I hope Jenson can close on that in Brazil, make them even more equal! More equal in points. If you want to be blinded by statistics that's your choice i suppose Hamilton has clearly been the better driver of the two in their t...

For Vettel to win the WDC:
If Alonso wins, Vettel must finish no lower than fourth.
If Alonso is second, Vettel must finish no lower than seventh.
If Alonso is third, Vettel must finish no lower than ninth
If Alonso is fourth or lower, Vettel doesn't need to score.

Well in terms of helping Alonso it is perfectly legal. Domenicalli said that nobody complains when a driver takes a strategic retirement. But for Massa I'm impressed with his pace, he would have been able to catch Alonso if he didn't have the penalty, but then again we don't know how his pace would ...

I'd like to know all the points Hamilton has earned from 2010 versus the points Button has.

Is there no driver from the u.s looking to break into f1? Alexander Rossi is Caterhams test driver but for some reason they chose not to use him yesterday. Brand new circuit that neither Petrov nor Kovalainen had ever driven probably a factor. Caterham needs their race drivers so they can take 10th...

As much as I'm afraid of heights, it's clearly very difficult to just accidentally fall off that tower. As if anybody is going to push you over the edge or the railing breaks. I've been on the edge of cliffs with no railings when I was a kid.

It looks like Kimi might be able to beat the record for most laps completed in a season, because this season has more races than any other season. The last driver I can remember finishing every lap in a season is Michael Schumacher in 2002, and all of those were podiums. That was in a 17 race season.

Not so much. I don't see it being broadcasted live on Fox Sports; even Speed won't show it live . My local sports channel isn't even showing it live because of football so I'm going to have to turn to a live stream to watch this one. WAIT. WHAT?! Are your serious? That sucks.....

They have merged or are part of a joint venture, so they're two companies that share the common goal of providing communications. It's just that Vodafone serves Europe and Verizon serves the USA. I imagine Vodafone changed their livery to a Verizon one to appeal to the American audience.

I think the FIA can do what they have always done and choose if they need to revoke the license of a driver who just isn't safe.

I too don't know that much about Macau. Is the track layout particularly dangerous or does the format for their on track sessions lend itself to these problems? I haven't heard of it being an especially dangerous event, and its been around for a long time. Very, very sorry to read about the inciden...

Well Webber and Button are the best choices at the moment, so yes. Massa at the beginning of the season would be a no but now he is consistently bringing in points which is needed for Ferrari to stay ahead of McLaren, so yes.

Similar to the A1 Ring?

So they can't get the wing closer to the ground by flexing it so they made the nose flex instead.

I don't see how Martin Whitmarsh gets all the blame for the poor strategy and reliability. It's not his fault the gearboxes fail or when the mechanics can't put enough fuel in the car. Hamilton leaving is probably Whitmarsh's fault though.

LITE992

I want Alonso to win it but I have no problem if Vettel wins it.

LITE992

Another lowlight is Lotus`reactive ride height being banned in a u-turn by the FIA. Just think with a little more pace from that system and Kimi could be challenging for the championship (assuming it was reliable).

Highlights: Alonso in the title fight in a car which wasn't the best. Maldonado and Rosberg winning. Pèrez's success. Lowlights: McLaren's reliability and pitstops. Maldonado, Grosjean, and Pèrez causing stupid errors. Schumacher's best year with Mercedes ruined by reliability. Ferrari not being abl...

Australia (or whatever the first race of the season may be), Canada (I'm going there in 2013), Monza, Brazil, and Malaysia (weather). There's something about Canada, Monza, and Brazil that makes me think about them over and over. Tracks I don't look forward to: Abu Dhabi, Barcelona, India, Korea, an...

If Austin has any similarities to Indianapolis it's the stupid hairpins towards the end of the lap.

Well that's good that we'll get all 3 practice sessions. Speed airs P2 only while the others are streamed live with no commentary. As much as I dislike their commercial breaks, the Speed crew (especially Matchett) are pretty good.

Perhaps the influence of F1 legends is the issue? We look up to Senna and Schumacher and talk about how aggressive they were, and these new drivers think being that aggressive al the time is the right thing to do. Just a theory.

I think first you start out as a fan of the sport, and then you pick a team and/or driver that you like and become a fan of them.

LITE992

I think it's the lack of testing. The young drivers don't have the experience in an F1 car that the current top drivers (Vettel, Alonso, and Hamilton) had when they started their F1 careers. Hamilton and Vettel spent a year prior to their F1 debut as a test driver, while Alonso spent a year as a Ren...

He got fined for doing it.

I think it's between Grosjean and Webber. I chose Webber, though. He failed at overtaking Maldonado and tried the same thing with Massa and still collided.

Seems very strange. What benefit could there possibly be in fixing the ratios at the start of the season? I can't see any cost implications to altering them race to race, so what exactly is the point? I dont have a problem with it. I'm happy for you, but that's not quite what I asked. I asked what ...
