Re: POLL. Vote who will win in qualifying. Vettel or Riccia
Up until now, Vettel didn't concentrate on a petty "qualy win" over his teammates. Instead, he focused on the drivability and mechanics of his car just like a Senna, a Prost or a Schumi. If you can not understand your race car as a racer, how can you accomplish historical records? Talent is only a ...

Re: FIA permitted doughnut for F1 2014
I find it so sterile that there has to be a rule saying ONLY the race winner can perform donuts. Drivers should be able to show off to fans all they like after races. I'm in agreement. If a popular driver makes a shock podium infront of a home crowd, they should be allow to do doughnuts as long as ...

Re: Red Bull are exploring a possible change of F1 engine
I can't wait until Bahrain. So much emotion on both sides. Really makes it exciting! I think Minardi is no fool. He might be no fool but he's not exactly wise. Why state an opinion and then end it with a caveat. It's also funny that people would rather believe rumors than the guy that's actually in...

Re: Will Vettel struggle with new regs?
I've already said that Alonso had the biggest improvement of any of the top runners that year. He was behind Vettel at the halfway point but ahead of him going into the final race. But in that race he dropped the ball: he had a comfortable lead but lost it in Abu Dhabi. There is nothing in that whi...

Re: Simona De Silvestro to become Sauber affiliate driver
As far as I can make out she hasn't done much other than being an IRL back marker. Can only assume this is another publicity stunt or she is bringing a decent sized cheque with her.

Re: Raikkonen must work with Alonso "in an integrated way"
I seem to recall that it was Ferrari themselves that messed up the final race in 2010 and not Alonso himself, also don't worry i don't believe that Kimi will show himself to be better than Alonso. Haters of Alonso like to revise history. They quickly forget that Massa was as quick as Raikonnen most...

Re: Will Vettel struggle with new regs?
I don't think Vettel gets better towards the end either. 2009: some improvement throughout as you would expect being his first season at the front. 2010: fairly consistent throughout, some silly errors spread out across the season 2011: car & driver consistent 2012: big improvement as he had a pret...

Re: Will Vettel struggle with new regs?
I'm definitely with Zoue on this one. I see no evidence that Vettel is always "stronger" in the second half of season compared to the first. By stronger I presume that people mean that he becomes a better driver, as opposed to him working out in the gym and being able to bench press more come Augus...

Re: Red Bull are exploring a possible change of F1 engine
This is funny coming from an Italian no bias at all, and also the man who claimed last year he could hear and see the evidence of traction control in Vettel's Redbull RB9!
Wait till Bahrain and we start hearing different opinions again!

Re: Bernie tips Rosberg for the WDC title '14!
I must be one of the v few people who think that Alonso will beat Kimi substantially - unless he throws a major wobbly as per 2007. You could be right. Based on how close Romain was to Kimi for speed in 2012 and 2013, my thinking is that Kimi will really have to perform to give Alonso a hard time f...
