I was just wondering how close does any one think the Ferrari's would have been to the Mercs if thay had started from the 2nd row & assuming that Kimi hadn't binned it. The SC made it so that the advantages built up throughout the race were erased anyway. Vettel was third before the last SC and I d...

Last week a friend of mine told me that POTUS would be there on race-day, just like President Putin did on Russian GP 2 weeks ago. Was POTUS actually among the VVIP spectators? What's a POTUS? Is it a better Lotus? This is POTUS http://cdn-02.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/article2925...

I'm surprised they filled the final drivers seat in view of what Grumpy Joe had to say. "Followers of Companies House may have noticed in recent days that Lotus Formula 1 Ltd has cleared the debt, believed to be £30 million..." "This now clears the way for the sale of the team to go ahead, with Rena...

This marshall was certainly Putin himself in harms way Russian across the track like that. I suppose he said to the other marshalls, I Moscow & pick thet debris up. Sochi ldish of him.

Niki comes out of retirement again & wins all the remaining races leaving Nico & Seb to fight over the lower podium places & the championship. If Nigel reckons he would be as fast as Lewis in that car, no reason Niki wouldn't. http://formulaspy.com/formula-1/formula-1-news/mansell-i-could-match-hami...

Robert Kubica not injuring himself in his 2011 rally accident. It would effectively end Nick Heidfeld's career, would put either Grosjean or Raikkonen out of a seat for 2012/2013 and he could possibly have been Felipe Massa's replacement at Ferrari. I will also add to this that Seb doesn't get the ...

Senna would not have left Williams as long as they had a winning car and look how close Hill got to beating Schumacher in 1994. With Schumacher being excluded from four races. That wouldn't happened with Senna still around. What reason would the FIA have had to absolve Benetton from their cheating,...

I think the 1955 Merc looks as good as it does due to the lack of paint. I, fact I'd like to see the current Merc in the paint job of the 55 streamliner! I agree,...

I believe that Red Bull & Seb knew much earlier than the announcement that Seb was leaving. This means that he wouldn’t have access to all the updates that came to the car during 2014. But Adrian said that he was a very clever lad & would be taking a lot of knowledge with him. I am wondering are som...

Seeing people talk about Lotus, I really hope the team will have a name change next year. I hope no one uses the Lotus name any more nor the Johnnie Walker livery unless they actually do have it as sponsor. Well if Renault buy them out then obviously they would want to run under the Renault banner ...

Ultimately - the sport is now ruled by money and not fun, genuine 'competition', or indeed glamour.

Just a question. The Merc people are clever & must know that if they remove the blankets early then the pressure will drop with temperature, so why did they remove the blankets early as everybody only only removes them as the car is about to be dropped off the jacks.

So in all the excitement, did we ever find out what happened to Kimi at the start? “I hit anti stall when I let the first clutch go and as far as I understood I did the correct things, but obviously we can see a problem in the second clutch, it was not in the correct place, I’m pretty sure I put it...

Seb gets backing from an unexpected souce.

I see no quotes from Mercedes and Hembrey only references Red Bull and says we can't change tyres for the benefit of just one team which implies him not being put under pressure by Mercedes themselves to change the tyres.

Although a big admirer of Fernando I think he sometimes makes bullets for people to fire at him.

If a tyre supplier rates its tyres for a certain duration be it 28 or 40 laps it should mean that there will be a performance drop off even if it is dramatic like happened to Kimi in China a couple of years ago which would make it pointless remaining out on them. Not that there should be a sudden lo...
