I believe that the correct answers were Rosberg and Perez/Hamilton that nobody predicted so only one point for 4 of us.

Still got 1 point!

Dat Ricciardo choice!! It might save you from the Hamilton pick...

Kimi for the win!!

Seriously it would be nice to see him win again after 3 years and also mix up the championship as well. I would like Ricciardo as well, but he won't be able to compete for the whole year against them.

Bahrain result The obvious Eight out of nine players predicted correctly: - Hamilton getting pole, - Raikkonen being the best qualifier compared to his WDC ranking, - Raikkonen being the highest point scorer compared to his WDC ranking.

I was about to make a comment about this and the rule with some explaining, but in the end i was like nah. I really hope this thread gets locked because what i have seen here is stupid. Ok i know the qualifying system sucks and such (although with some tweaks it could be good) but we actually saw so...

Some predictions: 1. The first stint of the race is going to be hectic because the SS are garbage around this circuit and most drivers outside the top 8 will start on softs/mediums. As the race settles down, the second half will rather be a procession. 2. Whichever Mercedes is ahead in Turn 1 will ...

As a commentator, you have to be impartial. I have never seen Mbrundle getting into such controversies and almost entire grid respects him. You have to think before you speak especially when you are talking about an individual. You can have some liberty when you make comments against a team as it i...

I've edited my pick for first man out, just letting you know in case you didn't pick it up on the original post. Good thing you made a new post to alert me. I don't like changing my picks, but in this case it would be foolish not to swap Renault teammates for quali victim. Tempted now to change pol...

Anyway, so little talk about Vandoorne. First time in the car yesterday after a tiring travel. Beats his highly respected team mate today. How about that? There's still tomorrow's race, but today was a first indication of why he should be in F1. Mega performance really. Vandoorne, Werhlein and Hulk...

Guys seriously Hamilton was 8 tenths of a second slower in the last sector compared to Rosberg. The last sector has two corners so he could only lose all this time when he went off track. Also if you don't gain by going off track then you are not penalized and he lost 8 tenths. The justifiable reaso...

Started watching back in 2001 and i instantly became a fan of Raikkonen. 2005 was great as a season, bittersweet if you were a kimi fan. But i don't think 2005 as a crazy season. With the exception of Kimi's car deciding it had enough at any given moment and the USA GP for all the wrong reasons ever...

I have the luck to have a huge collection of F1 races so despite starting watching in 2001, i've seen all the races from 90's and 80's plus some more from the previous eras. And i must admit, it sucked... The first thing i did was to go and watch the late 80's and early 90's golden era. Almost none ...

The only type of accident that i think it might cause trouble is one like the spa 2012. The cone on the wing is a bit too big to fit inside the opening thus there might only be some small debris that could hit the helmet but the definitely can't go through it. What i'm worried about is the front edg...

Congratulations to Devil's Advocate and DirtyMike for taking 1st place.

Nice analysis! :thumbup: Not so good a result for me, obviously, but in the first half of the race things looked like they could've gone very differently... so I still have hope for better points the rest of the season.

In a sport like F1 stats are never misleading! It shows what each individual and his team achieved. Fangio didnt win in a dud car neither did Schumi or Senna. Senna didn't win the WDC till he drove the all conquering Mclaren so I wonder what your point is? Doesn't that more or less prove that the s...

No poll, just discussion. Who do you think is the best driver on the grid? Perhaps you could give a top 5 with accompanying reasons? What might give Vettel the edge over Alonso? What might give Ricciardo the edge over Rosberg? Name who you think are the best racers out there. Vettel. Being the best...

Fountoukos13

Vettel. Being the best means achieving the most. No, it doesn't. It's never meant that. Achieving the most is what all of the drivers want to do, certainly, but that line is used almost exclusively in lieu of a real argument when defending a competitor with more wins/titles/success than another who...

Hahaha what a coincidence!

Is anybody else watching SkySports? It's almost 7am here and Lowdon has almost made me fall asleep... FP2 can't start soon enough!

Love it. Finally the season has started and i don't have to get up at 5 am to watch. Practise starts at 10.25pm in my time zone which beats the heck out of most of the races i have to get up for. I'm 75 and have been following F1 since 1952 and despite all the bad mouthing about the present rules i...

Alonso comfortably. Hamilton and Vettel next. Ricciardo and Button the next two. Alonso's 06 and 12 far surpasses anything anyone else has done. I'm sorry although not an Alonso fan i have to say that you are wrong. What he did in the crap with wheels named R29 back in 2009 was mind boggling. The c...

From what i see the question is about the current overall ability of driving an F1 car from the current drivers on the grid and not on who is the best f1 driver on the grid. Anyway based on what we saw most recently i would go with Vettel followed by Hamilton, Alonso, Ricciardo and Button. Perez and...

Fountoukos13

I meant in terms of overall driving ability as well as the ability for a driver to integrate themselves into a team and to help setup the car - the whole package. I also was asking based on not too distant form. I find it hard to think that Raikkonen is one of the top-5 CURRENT drivers on form and ...

And this is the moment of the year to post the obligational picture of Jody Scheckter and his zero number Yardley Mclaren M23 from 1973.
