Vettel, Bottas and Massa got my nods.

I'm in a bad mood though. Ferrari had a poor weekend making Merc look more dominant than ever and Kimi having a poor day.
And if I heard 'lift and coast' a couple more times I was going to switch off.

That is shocking and disgusting. Even Sochi was a disgrace.

Nico yesterday, Hamilton today. Just about to post the same thing. Yesterday was hard for Lewis, but looking back you can see your performance was well above the rest. Complete opposite for Nico, yesterday he'd have been massively excited by winning the Monaco GP for the third successive year, look...

After the incident at Spa last year, Hamilton came back and scored 5 wins on the trot. And he was not in such a mentally strong position at that point as he was this year. Good point and I will be a bit stunned if this incident does weaken him mentally. The only niggle at the back of his mind will ...

I opted for Lewis. Whilst being down about it, I'd rather know I was the best driver 'cheated' out of the win rather than being given an undeserved one. Baloney. Lewis want "cheated" and Nico deserved his win by finishing first. fairy cakes happens occasionally... live with it. I can quite easily l...

One of my favourite races and has thrown up a fair few good dry races recently. 2014, 2011, 2005, 2004, 2000 and 1998 where all good races. The joy of Monaco is watching the drivers dance there cars between the barriers. I'm not not that keen on overtaking when it is easy. An overtake at Monaco is ...

Is not that he has not race pace, he has, also today until the safety car(63 lap), he was only 13-15 sec behind Vettel after beeing held by both RedBull drivers, i think if he qualified 4 he could have been on the podium(undercut, Hamilton mistake). Also in Spain until he catch Bottas, near the end...

I think it would improve the image of the sport. There could be a charity given one high profile sign at each race, maybe a charity that is operating or based in that particular country. Teams could give a space to one somewhere on their car also.

Agreed.
Bernie and co would take on board the views of the VIP's in the paddock a million times more than a racing fan.

What is exactly the purpose of this? This is just running for 8 days and it's mostly limited to British audience. I suspect to draw your attention to the magazines that are backing the survey. Whilst it is good to get a chance to voice an opinion some of the questions needed more than a yes/no type...

Exactly the type of people Bernie is not interested in or cares about. This explains a lot.

In fact Moths look at me as if I was something unpleasant that they just stepped in.

Welcome to the Tory dictatorship. I hope the UK is pleased with itself, the country is ruined. Apparently no one is allowed any kind of privacy anymore. Apparently people can be arrested for obeying the law. Apparently gay people are not allowed to be married. Apparently the sick shall not get any ...

I went with Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso and Kimi (although I admit Kimi is prejudiced).
I have to admit I would like to see Grosjean and Ricciardo in a decent car though.

There is a big contradiction in that article by Couasnon: "This happens when you are in a sole-supplier regime and you have no motivation to improve . That's called mediocrity, not technology.

Can we not have decent tyres without a tyre war? Let Pirelli build a tyre that everyone can race hard on. That's possible, of course. But given their recent track record there would always be the suspicion that they were still operating the same philosophy. Having more than one supplier means that ...

I think you are being over sensitive. As long as the driver is clearly not hurt and given due respect afterwards (e.g. podium interviews) I have no real problem with it. Most of us get caught up in the emotion of the moment and it gives us an important part of all sport: atmosphere.

Still no title sponsor? I suspect that this chapter of Ron's biography may be entitled Thrifty Shades Of Grey... Like it! But it does make me wonder, without the title sponsor why bother in changing the livery? If they do land a title sponsor in the foreseeable future then would the livery have to ...

A lot depends on how things go with McLaren and Mercedes. If McLaren do not make progress Alonso will make a bid to get into a Merc. If Ferrari and Merc stay reasonably well matched then Ferrari would not want to face an Alonso Hamilton line up. The smart move would be to get Hamilton and if Ferrari...

I voted Mayweather by decision. Probably gonna be the # 1 choice. Mayweather doesn't have to do alot except survive. ( by that i mean be elusive, counter and land punches.) He's the champ. He has to get out right beat to lose the belt. Most decisions dont go against the champ. Pacquiao has to knock...

Azerbaijan is relatively prosperous. It has a lot of natural resources relative to its size and population, and it has a corrupt autocratic government that doesn't need to invest in the general population in order to secure re-election. Hence why they can spend as much as they like on their own van...

I am not a fan but I want them to survive and improve. I think there are genuinely good people in the team. But Bernie does not want them (maybe a good enough reason alone to support them) as he made quite clear in his BBC interview. I remember someone mentioning in a previous thread the lack of rac...

This might stir the pot. Ted Kravitz thinks they left Kimi out too long because they weren't really thinking of him and focusing on Seb instead... I fail to accept this yet. Kimi compromised himself by failing to hold off Rosberg after overtaking him at the start. James Allison told the BBC that th...

All the rule changes are irreverent if there are only 4 teams racing. Sounds like lots more expense to the teams again. Simplify not complicate. Initially I was excited to hear it but on reflection I agree with you. It sounds like it will incur more expense so therefore discourage current teams or ...

I never purchase the paper she writes for, that didn't mean it's not relevant for me to want to sign a petition. I am not directly involved in the vast majority of things that go on in the world.

I have already opted for Kimi and still stick with him.
But a nod to Rosberg today. More aggressive racing like that please.

Decent race from Kimi and it should help him with his confidence. Much better than Seb as mentioned.

I wish you luck with the petition but as I do not buy that particular newspaper I have no interest in who they employ.

I wanted to avoid this thread because I feel whatever I write in here is shouting into the wind, but as much as I feel that Hamilton's actions on the podium were not sexist, some of the views later expressed in this thread have been somewhat disturbing.

It is typical of the Mail to start a 'hate' story under the guise of being a promoter of rights. If drivers spraying champagne really is an issue then they should have defended Coulthard when he got sprayed. Equality and fairness! Unfortunately by discussing it we are helping promote the paper.
