I don't like this new idea that 'sexualising' anyone is sexist in itself. The word objectify really annoys me. Humans, male and female, are programmed to find other humans sexually attractive. We all have varying ideas of what we find most attractive, but the modelling industry has certainly picked ...

Then he would have already retired, the Merc wasn't the best by a big distance. It was overall better, but not by much. Similar to some of Vettel's championship winning cars. About a year ago I made an analysis comparing Vettel's Red Bull cars and the current dominant Mercedes. I compared only qual...

I feel quite deflated about this (latest "Kubica out of contention" news). I've been a Williams supporter for over 30 years now. It's been awful seeing them slip further and further down the grid, but every winter I live in hope that "next season will be the one"....... Forget the new logo, or maki...

So in other words, every year Vettel has been at Ferrari his results have been poorer in the second half. The same was true of Alonso when he was Ferrari's lead driver. Meanwhile, Red Bull continues to get stronger in the latter parts of the year with Ricciardo and Verstappen. I think the pattern i...

Can't disagree with any of the above but I think in 2012 there's an argument for both improving. As I understand it the change in exhaust blowing rules lead to a change being needed in driving style to get the most out of the Red Bull concept and while Mark effectively just got in and drove the thi...

Oh, I get it, let's attempt to besmirch and put down drivers by pointing out the opinions by other drivers. Can I go next? Are any drivers immune? How about gingers, and can we body shame too?

He's been fairly substandard at Sauber when you consider his teammate, Di Resta was actually fairly impressive and bailed out on the back of a bad half season.

Still not convinced that going to a fashion show will raise the profile of F1 one iota. I only heard about it because I follow F1, but otherwise it would have passed me by completely. This is not a judgement on him going, but I just don't see how the sport benefits. I don't think every action he un...

So please answer honestly: Do you think many people follow the fashion show awards ceremony with vigour? Tune in and watch this show and think "oh, what a nice chap in this red suit, I'll be an F1 fan now"? And that way Hamilton reached to them? Or do you think that the reigning WDC should have hon...

Part of the reason I like Hamilton is because he's a bit of a bad donkey non-conformist. Part of the reason I don't like him is he went to fashion show last night instead of the FIA hall of fame induction. I still like him but I feel to be an all time great, you have to be an ambassador for your sp...

I'd be more interested in how much easier it is to drive a Merc in 2017 then a Sauber as an example? To judge different regulations is probably impossible, but a belive that it gets easier and easier is perhaps a probability? Easier remains to broad. I agree with the article above, and would also a...

WTF is he on about? Lewis just put these boxes in that van and take em round the corner mate, and pick us up some coffee on the way back...

Just what head start is that? Are we going back to the baloney some clowns were trying to claim about Ferrari getting advanced technical info from the FIA or FOM? You do realize that in those seven years only Red Bull and Mercedes have won championships don't you? If Santander wants move on from Fe...

Why would a journalist reveal their source? I'm fairly certain Brundle could keep quiet on his facts, but his job is to drop the odd fact on us without throwing any of his sources under the bus. A result of that is it'll sometime be vague, and he'll almost always not be able to say how he knows. Be...

I have never rated Ricciardo myself and he became the media #1 guy just because Alonso(the previous media #1 darling) was not fighting at the front anymore. I still maintain to this day that Sainz Jr. would give Verstappen a much harder time pacewise(and at the starts) than Ricciardo. It his unbeli...

Well, once again the actual quotes carry a completely different tone to those in the original post.

Ennis

Was this the subject that Lazenby and Kravitz quizzed Horner over in Austin? And his smug response was that there was always 'grey areas' in the rules that teams can exploit under there interpretation of the rules? He then went on to say that Technical Directives were not rules and rather, a Stewar...

I am looking back and wondering if a fight between 2 different makes of car is any better than 2 drivers in the same car. I am thinking there is nothing in it as long as the drivers are not under orders. Last year, with Hamilton v Rosberg, with pop ups from the Ferrari and RBR was equally as good a...

And now Todt/the FIA want to meddle even further, not content with the complete pigs ear they've made of the rules recently: https://www.grandprix247.com/2017/11/27/fia-want-multi-purpose-f1-engine-for-2021/ In essence, they want the same engine to be used for F1 and the WEC. Which likely means eve...

RBR shows flashes of speed in certain races, just to loose that altogether in the following race. Strange thing. Do they have something up their sleeve that convinced Verstappen to sign a multi year contact with them? HAAS was a mixed bag, to which their drivers contributed perfectly. Their car doe...

Could Santander become a more prominent partner of McLaren now Alonso is still there for next season? Zak did confirm he has signed 2 partners for next season which are not confirmed and with no JB at McLaren for the UK side for Santander could Alonso replace him? That would be quite a coup for McL...

Ennis

The biggest difference is that Mercedes almost always capitalized on the circuits where they were stronger while Ferrari often didn't. From the top of my head: Mercedes didn't capitalize in Baku or Brazil, those are two races they clearly should have won based on pace. They should have won in Baku,...

Philip Morris will be 40m short, and I doubt they will have too much trouble finding someone to take that space on. How true is this Philip Morris thing? I've always struggled to find a source for this. Its clear they have a deal with Ferrari, but all I ever see quoted is the livery and off-track e...

Santander are going to opt to not renew their current deal, which will leave Ferrari 40m a season shirt unless they find a new primary sponsor. Source? I can't find anything about it. How is it a coup? If Ferrari is choosing not to renew, there is no McLaren "coup". Assuming it happened at all, the...

I'd love to just number them 1 - 7 and then, as others have suggested, the hardcore fans can find out which numbers are taken to each race but for normal people they just hear soft, medium and hard on any given weekend.

Ennis

I don't understand how that's a bad example? Surely the point is that the top speed advantage Mercedes had was a critical influence in the outcome of the race? Doesn't that make it a good example? Not when the top speed advantage is being portrayed as both being purely engine, and having a hand in ...

Ennis

Vettel can't choose his setup?! Ferrari is inherently a draggy car, and the high downforce package is simply better than the low downforce package. You can't have it both ways though. If it is a disadvantage for his top speed, its his advantage through corners, following cars, and I assume to overa...

I don't know.. I feel like his rating system is more of a really biased personal opinion to make himself look better since he lost to Hamilton in 08. He's really saying to Hamilton & Vettel "you guys are great 4-time champs but Fernando is faster than you". Massa is retiring and going out saying ni...
