Well, got my tickets for the Saturday race in London. It's a little confusing on the ticket site as you buy general admission or access to the stands tickets, but then when you look at what you have clicked it specifies which general access zone you have booked for even though the description wasn'...

1://Vettel 2://Nico Rosberg 3://Kimi Raikkonen 4://Lewis Hamilton EDIT: it is done. Serious question,is that really how you think they will finish or how you want them to finish? The above is my prediction. Being "only" hopeful of something is not enough satisfaction for me. A very bizarre predicti...

Herb

A small tidbit - if this does go ahead - and local news saying it will - then daylight savings ends on the raceday so practice and qualifying is on daylight savings time - and race is on Oz eastern standard time. That is correct. Initially I thought this might indicate a night race but now it seems...

Herb

I love them. I can't see how anybody thinks they detract from the race.

And the reaction I have seen on twitter from F1 journos, teams and photographers seems overwhelmingly positive.

Herb

Spain:

1. Ham
2. Ros
3. Rai

You realize that BAR actually became Honda for a while? Also, I was talking about the engines. Anyway, that doesn't change the fact that the current program is a disaster. Now Boullier is saying that they won't be competitive till end-2016. That's just wrong. So wrong. And with the engine formula c...

Herb

Lewis for fine tuning his craft so well that it looks effortless but we know how difficult that level of control is. Glad Nico woke up but he's really got to stop panicking when being hunted down that error was nothing to do with the bbw problem which had been present from lap three . Glad Kimi was...

Herb

Inappropriate quote removed.

My predicted ranking would be

Hamilton
Vettel
Rosberg
Kimi

Herb

So far 18% of us were too optimistic. But it was close yesterday - one more retirement would have done it for Alonso, Ricciardo just made it to the end, that would have done it!.

Herb

Kimi and Hamilton. Flawless, nobody else had a sniff.

And seriously, 7 votes. We can't really say a 3rd of the field were Driver of the day!

When was the last time Rosberg took a place at the start? I'd kinda expecting kimi to jump him.

Herb

A lot of Massa's DNF in 2014 were not his fault. He got punted off at Melbourne by Kobayashi. Perez moved across in Canada. I don't know if he could have avoided Silverstone. Had a 50/50 collision with Magnussen in Germany. He could have had a podium, or at least a top 5 finish in all races mention...

Herb

Raikkonen without a doubt.

In a good car, I feel like both could run from the front in clean air, perhaps with Rosberg slightly the faster of the two, but Kimi would be better fighting through the pack if necessary, and would be better at defending his position.

Herb

5 votes wasn't enough. You are meant to be choosing the most impressive driver not half the field. If 5 votes wasn't enough then obviously no one stood out head and shoulders above the rest. I would like to see the votes changed to 1 vote and see who the particular driver of the day is in peoples m...

Whilst I disagree with the DM article, its a bit much to compare the western world with a country that doesn't even let women drive - and I wish that was the height of the sexist attitude in the country.

Herb

That website seems to publish every rumor that is doing the rounds - from anywhere, don't think they actually have any journalists of their own doing interviews.

With you on Kaltenborn! The Sauber situation is a complete joke and I don't know how she still has a job.

Herb

I'm not sure I trust that website for reliable news, and I certainly don't trust Kolles!

Herb

It's like water fights with kids innit. Squirting people who have their own water pistol or who are part of the action is a-okay. Spraying someone (especially someone who can't reasonably escape) close up in the face while they cringe away is probably worth having a quiet word about toning down the...

Herb

Everyone knows if you're on the podium you get sprayed, the dignitaries that give out the trophy know to clear off ASAP!

Hamilton is not the first, and he won't be the last.

Herb

Bahrain.

1. Hamilton
2. Rosberg
3. Vettel
4. Raikonnen
5. Bottas
6. Massa
7. Verstappen
8. Nasr
9. Grosjean
10. Alonso

Herb

Bahrain,

Playing safe, so it'll probably be a mixed up podium.

1. HAM
2. ROS
3. VET

Herb

They did re-sign Rosberg, but you have no idea what that reason was. It could be that he's the perfect number two driver, fast enough to get on the podium when in a dominant car, but nowhere near his team mate who will more than likely win the WDC. IIRC, your supposed perfect #2 driver was there fo...

Herb

Forgot individual races, what about the WDC? 2015 drivers standings with lead Mercedes drivers result excluded... 1) Vettel 2) Rosberg Nico on course to lose WDC to Vettel :o :lol: You got it wrong. I didn't extract lead Mercedes driver's result. All of 2015 races were completed as back-to-back by ...

Herb

I think Hamilton made that case by himself when he said he wasn't concerned with Nico's race? Understand I'm not condemning him for looking after himself, but team player suggests he would have Nico's interests at heart, too, but that's clearly not the case I agree with you Zoue, but I don't really...

Serious question; do you want me to go through it race-by-race? It doesn't change anything if you are right or wrong. Both on collected points and having the most highest finishes when either driver is taken out, Mercedes GP is able to achieve similar success with another driver since the drivers R...

Herb

WHY DON'T YOU CALCULATE THAT RIGHT before blaming a poster? Nico Rosberg is ahead by 10 points when they didn't finish back-to-back. Nico Rosberg is again ahead by getting the most highest finishes when they didn't finish back-to-back. This score is 12-10. Why am i showing this? Because unlike othe...

TheOtherGuy wrote: Can you explain for the unenlightened?

Basically, if you excluded either driver from every race last season, excluding Lewis has less of an impact in best-placed finishes for the team - because Nico was more often immediately behind Lewis than visa versa.

I THINK!

@ Herb, mds, F1tyrant, TheOtherGuy From Hamilton has now beaten Rosberg in 8 of the last 10 race thread posted on March 30: The hallucination which gives Hamilton is simply on another planet comes from the race finishing positions when there are no cars in between Merc duo.

Herb

The weird thing is that when we extract all races when these two finished a race one after the other <no other cars in between>; ROSBERG is slightly ahead. Yes, that is the driver who drove for Mercedes since their re-entrance to this sport in 2010. Not only is it a meaningless stat, it's just not ...

Herb

I enjoy watching WEC, but I struggle to stay with it for 6 hours - On Sunday I just dipped in and out of it here and there.

Also, I'm not a massive fan of multi-series races - the difference between the LMP cars and the GTE cars basically means the latter are just rolling road blocks.

Herb

Is this police thing a legit argument on how to improve F1 or some sort of satire? I think releasing a pack of meerkats in the paddock before every race would be an excellent way to improve the show. http://www.allmystery.de/i/td50137_fry-not-sure-if-trolling.jpg Edit - Er. not aimed at you btw The...

Also noteworthy: Button and Alonso now 2 seconds from fastest FP2 time. I think they've made another big step forwards. In Malaysia FP2 the difference was nearly 3 seconds. I wouldn't be surprised if they now qualify ahead of the FI's, or at least mix it up with them a bit. I agree - they should be...

Only one tenth difference in average time between Raikkonen and Rosberg on mediums, with the former having done six more laps? That is... interesting. If today's times are taken at face value, Sunday is going to be fun! Still can't see anyone but Hamilton winning, but I still fancy two red cars on ...

Herb

Hard to choose. Whichever has the best racing probably. However, the broadcasted product would have to be good too. There are many competitive formulae with great racing shown on TV - but the production and presentation of the races can be dire. Just watch some of the stuff that's on Motors TV. Form...

'one of the' is not the same as 'the'. and also the word "intrinsically". Unfortunately, some posters do not read my posts before trying to disprove automatically at first sight. Thanks for your contribution. Is English your first language? I'm not sure you know what intrinsic means. In this sense,...
