About the same time last year, a rumor spread about the Ferrari engine being down on 100 horsepower little did we know... I remember that and I thought what bullsh1t how could Mercedes possibly pull that much more from the same regs, I almost laughed it off, I worked on racing engines for most of m...

Hamilton is a genuine sportsman he wouldn't entertain doing that, he loves competing.

What amazes me is why did the race go ahead when the helicopter couldn't be used?

This could and should have been avoided they race ran even though they knew about the weather days ago, they could have run the race earlier to keep more daylight etc etc.

I just hope Jules makes a 100% recovery ASAP.

What a shame if it does close over 200 jobs gone.

Are you David's friend? I'm sure your name rings a bell.

Bernie needs to stop being such a moo-pickle and allow teams, and other people like Circuits, to have a bit more money and PARITY amongst the teams. When Caterham and Marrussia barely get treated like equals on all levels why is it a suprise they cant keep going...all those plucky people in Marussi...

Are you suggesting Nico sabotaged his own car with his tears?

kimandsally

I thought I saw Nico crying during Quali maybe some tears dropped into it:-)

kimandsally

Amazing his total commitment.

Lets hope he gets well soon and gets back into the Gym, make Shumi and all his fans happy as can be.

kimandsally

azeem, you hit the nail on the head. He's a fast driver and can get the car round the track, but his racecraft and overtaking are limited. I never thought he'd be WDC as ultimately others would make up positions when he could not. However, due to his car this season at has often just been a case of...

Nothing to do with Lewis Toto and Nikki Lauda did it Toto kept watch whilst Nikki did the deed.

Turns out, though, he didn't.

Good job I didn't jump in, very embarrassing.

Yes I think he did and I was disappointed as I am patriotic and wanted Hamiltion to win the WDC but I cannot abide cheating so if he did he deserves to lose the WDC in my opinion. This is one heck of a reach! My reason was Rosberg was in a better position than me and he asked Hamilton to speed up s...

I was heartbroken when he didn't win it in 2010. He is too good to just be double world champion. I have only recently become an Alonso 'fan', although I've always had respect for him as a driver, even if he has been involved in a lot of controversy in his career. He is definitely better than a mer...

Worried for Lewis now. Why oh why didn't he finish his lap?! In my eyes he is faster than Rosberg in every way but he just keeps messing things up, Loosing faith in him right now :( Ruined my weekend, I thought he had it then when he lost, I was like in shock, over the next hour I felt worse like s...

I take hope from the words Sebine has said, we all know he will never give in and if anyone can do it Michael can.

Good luck Champ.

Rest In Peace Sir Jack, when I was a young lad the name Brabham was F1, you were fierce on the track a gentleman off it, what a great example for people to try to follow, you are a true Legend.

kimandsally

Not as much as I was hoping. It wasn't a classic season opener but it left us with some interesting things at least. At the moment there isn't really a title battle going on though, it's between Hamilton and Rosberg and one can imagine that Merc won't let them battle one another too hard for too lo...

I agree with JV but with regards to Hero's F1 drivers are no Hero's they are highly paid sportsmen who are lucky enough to do what they love. Our Soldiers ARE Hero's being paid a pittance to get shot at and mutilated for the governments to stop their benefits when they are shot to bit's. If F1 drive...

I would say Mercedes know exactly what cooling requirements the package needs and design the chassis around that where the other teams using the Mercedes engines have the engine and fitting size but does their chassis work to run the engine and peak efficiency and reliability?

It should be noted these are FOM figures. Somewhat idiosyncratically (or downright dishonestly, depending on your view) FOM count a viewer as anyone who has seen a clip of the race broadcast on a sports or news broadcast. Over 29.1 million Britons do not watch F1. That's half the country, including...

I might be wrong but I think Damon Hills record of wins to races ratio was the highest ever until he left Williams and in all the time he was at Williams he did have a team mate he had to beat, he should have been a 2x WDC but nothing was done when Mr Schumacher hit him in Austrailia.

kimandsally

Very sad to hear this, my feelings are for all the family, so pleased he saw Jenson WDC lets hope Jenson can win another this year and dedicate it to his dad.
Rest in peace you were well loved by millions.

The point is POB, is that there has been a significant advantage, No one disputes that other great cars have given their drivers a significant advantage in the past, we need go back no further than Schumi's Ferraris of 2002 & 2004. Heaven knows that Fangio moved from team to team to make sure he wa...

I was in shock when I read it, I felt sick in my stomach.
But the news gives hope that it's not life threatening so I pray he gets well very soon.

Lotus is the perfect example of what's wrong with F1, a third of the teams are owned and run by scam artists. Kimi should seize control of the teams assets (including transport trucks) that'll show those bums who's the boss, power to the iceman Yes, I'm sure the rest of the world would look favoura...

With the introduction of DRS high degradation tyres are almost not needed, but with that said we don't want to see drivers doing a whole race on one set of tyres. What would be ideal from my point of view is a set of primes that last 75% race distance if the driver is conserving heavily, and 40% or...

Rest in Peace Maria. Such a tragic, tragic event and a massive loss for Motorsport.

Is it just me or was Spa just boring? After lap 5 I was up off the settee then I went to wash the pots, I've never been like this before.

Basically Mercedes will have 100hp advantage if the other teams don't figure out the same clever tricks (which I find unlikely). Just like all the other clever voodoo of the last 10 years, any team lacking it will figure it out quick like! And where are the facts that they will have 100BHP advantag...

Will Mark screw Seb over ? Maybe, if circumstances permit. Will Mark crash into Seb ? No, his Dad told him not to hit boys ;) Seriously, Mark might have NIL respect for Sebastian, but he's at least got some for himself. If anyone here honestly thinks Mark is stupid enough to endanger a fellow compe...

What makes it seem wrong to me is 100bhp why not 70 or 80bhp that would be massive but the number 100? It would take Mercedes ages to get just the magic 100 and how does anyone know what Ferrari and Renault are making? To get a 100hp extra without increasing the RPM is a huge task considering that t...

The whole sport hinges on the myth that these drivers were racing. I spoke to Webber a couple of years ago. He told me that it's very difficult for fans at home to understand what they're watching. He said there are politics and motivations causing things to happen that those watching on the televi...
