Next year Lewis will start his 7th F1 season (iirc)! He's not exactly what I would call a newcomer. How long does one need to mature?

Not sure.. I'll check twitter.

Ross would do a better job of 'handling' Lewis and he might mature better in a new environment but they are the only positives I can see. It's difficult to see Merc giving him a race winning car in the next couple of years, which I'm sure he can see for himself...unless they've fed him some lines ab...

How anyone can justify taking another life over a few material possessions is beyond me. It's not the material possessions most are worried about. The news is rife with stories of what happens to the occupants when burgled. Where I live I read of at least one break in a week that involves violence ...

Nephilist

If I was in an opposing team (and ruthless) I'd harp on relentlessly about how useful the data was (regardless of whether it was or not).

As for Lewis himself... there isn't anything wrong that 6 months on an isolated island with Bear Grylls and Gordon Rasmay for company wouldn't solve.

Nephilist

For me WT7 still has to be the biggest question mark.

So Lewis hasn't signed a contract and suddenly Button has a much better car... I can't believe I haven't read a single conspiracy theory yet. Is it the theorists day off or maybe they're still looking at moon landing data :D I missed some of quali, but all I heard was about LH setting up the car wit...

Although the bible says people shouldn't wear garments made of more than more material or something similar, so we have to assume some of it is metaphorical. It's a long time since I read up on this but there was a logic to it iirc. It was only linen and wool that weren't to be woven together (as o...

Either Neil Armstrong is the first man on the moon, or it was all faked and he is the greatest magician/con man in the history of human existence. Whichever one you want to believe, it deserves a bit of respect for him to have been able to do it. As for the moon landing, yes there were a team of pe...

Jenson Button is to be a guest on the Johnathan Ross show Saturday 25 August, ITV at 9:45 (21:45) hopefully if J.R doesn't interupt Jenson too much it should be a good interview! Oh please. Jonathan Ross has never given a good interview in his life. He's absolutely attrocious at interviewing people...

If they're representative of the rest of the population, I'd be very surprised if more than one of them does. One of the things I was always impressed with, when I first started watching F1, was the ability of the foreign drivers (especially Prost and Rosberg) to speak English. It's quite normal no...

The better prepared you are the less nervous you'll be. Google 'best man speeches, throw in your own funny anecdotes and practice in front of a friend or mirror enough times that you're comfortable with it. If you keep it to around 5 mins then by the time you've rehearsed it 6/7 times it'll come as ...

I'm just close to the end of watching the 4 seasons of The Tudors. Excellent series and a brilliant interpretation on the characters and history of the time. Apparently (according to my missus who fancies him) Jonathan Rhys Meyers lives not far up the road from us.

There are either two alternatives: God exists, in which case it is not insulting because God exists. God does not exist. In which case, just like the tooth fairy, he is make believe, which makes the comparison 100% valid. My point is regarding the intent of the comparison. In debating techniques it...

Someone = child. Evidence = The word of their parents + the tooth being replaced by money.
Ergo it equals a condescending and insulting comparison which is what is was intended to do.

Noel singing Wonderwall It was Liam singing. I was always a big oasis fan but he sounded extremely nasal on the night. I thought Jessi J carried the queen song really well considering NO ONE will ever match up to Freddie. Totally agree there. I think they couldn't have chosen better than Jessie.. b...

On the athiesm side, Dawkins has made comparing the belief in god to belief in a tooth fairy popular. Dear lord but there is no comparison. I've never subscribed to the 9/11 theory of it being an inside job but to say there is no evidence would be phenomenally simplistic considering the amount of p...

The one that stumps me has to be the walking races. What they are doing looks so entirely unnatural that I find it painful to watch. Besides it looking so bizarre the contestants look like they are in agony, all I'm imagining while watching is people doing untold damage to their bodies. That said, t...

A couple of things always really irritate me in the whole God v Athiesm debates. On the 'intelligent design' side they seem to stick doggedly with the 6 day creation theory and it makes them look like twits before the argument even begins. If you're going to use the bible as your authority then at l...

This is the kind of thread that makes knowledgeable fans shake their heads in wonder. HELLO, is anyone listening? I enjoy your posts but that type of comment is never necessary and always sounds elitist. You don't have to know everything about the sport to be a fan or throw your voice in the mix. I...

Ferrari's one car approach seems to be working well.

I don't think the pit lanes are big enough to accomodate the extra garages even if was on the cards. Other than that I'd rather see the 3/4 smallest teams given a leg up + track improvements to improve the show.

Nephilist

Couldn't see the idea translating to F1. The biggest single problem (besides aero disturbance ofc) has always been the tracks themselves not the necessity for more rules anyway. That we have tracks where it is nigh on impossible to overtake in a sport that is called 'racing' flies in the face of com...

Not sure how recent this is but thought it was worth posting. Alonso's face is classic.

I was coming here to say what a great job GB have done of hosting it all. I was going to say how much I've been enjoying it and congrats to GB on a great day for them. Then... I turned on the mens volleyball.. And horror of horrors... It all came crashing down in one horrific moment when I realised....

Of recent days Ferrari have conducted themselves so well that it makes the intimation all the less palatable. You automatically presume that when Marko opens his mouth something idiotic is going to come out but in fairness we should be beyond getting irritated. If he was a forum member we'd just pre...

Therapy and what Stewart offered Grosjean are two different things. In this day, peak performance is everything. Senna would train hard in the off season to gain an advantage, now if you're not tweeting about your marathon a la Jenson Button, or cycling in Italian tournaments a la Fernando Alonso, ...

Mclarens punishment was €100million euro fine less any money they would have received for where they finished in the constructors championship. Which was first. I reckon the prize money for finishing first is way above €100million. So they didn't pay it from the bank account, more they weren't paid...

Newey without a leash... scary thought, but at least we wouldn't have to listen to Horner constantly defending their questionable 'innovations'.

Nephilist

If he was realistically out of the wdc hunt and was in a help / hinder situation then public perception is damn important. He can either be a hero or a prat all in that one decision and I reckon he's an intelligent enough and mature enough guy to make the sensible choice despite what his instincts m...

The driver would end up virtually a passenger as technology would be quicker than his reaction speed, and his reflexes probably wouldn't be fast enough anyway to cope with the crazy speeds. Then safety would be out the window because of the cornering speeds. Far too many downsides as fun as it sounds.

Nephilist

I agree that the concept is an excellent and would love to see something like this implemented. After all, the rewards are dished out for points over the season so why not penalties? The difficulty would be in the execution you propose. Race bans aren't wonderful as they can rob the fans. Imagine fo...

I really don't see Vettel as another Button who needs a perfect car set up to be fast. I understand some of the bitterness felt toward him when a large chunk of his two wdc's were on the shoulder's of Newey's genius and some dubious wings but he still isn't that far behind Alonso and LH in outright ...

Some of what they have done is forgivable. Even the engine mapping was a clever trick, but if they were manually adjusting the ride height then that is about as innovative as a PED.

No more word to describe... I'm so sorry you couldn't appreciate what was in fact a tremendous event. And I do hope it doesn't compound your disillusionment to learn that plenty of others enjoyed it thoroughly. Good reflection on how these arguments start...
