Jenson's Understeer

The 'Perez to replace Massa' stuff is going to go into overdrive after their respective performances today.

Jenson's Understeer

Any clues what Alonso said? I thought it sounded like "raining in turn 4" but that's probably wrong...

Jenson's Understeer

"Sergio Perez is catching Fernando Alonso for the lead" is not something I expected to be typing anytime in 2012.

Jenson's Understeer

Perez the #2 to Alonso's #1? Well, if he does end up in a Ferrari next year, he might want to get used to that...

Jenson's Understeer

I can't believe Alonso is basically leading this race now, haha. Gotta love F1.

I'd assume his first stop was when he damaged his front wing, and then he came in again for wets.

Jenson's Understeer

Doesn't look like we'll have too many laps behind the safety car. Hopefully those aren't famous last words!

Jenson's Understeer

12 minutes isn't too bad. Hopefully there aren't too many laps behind the safety car once it all gets going again.

Jenson's Understeer

As someone who has pumped his tyres regarding his return, it would be nice to see him last more than a couple of laps! Not exactly covering himself in glory come Sunday thus far. Hopefully he can put a better performance together in two week's time.

Jenson's Understeer

As soon as the safety car went out, the red flag was an inevitability. Track was only ever going to get worse with the SC on the track. Hopefully we're not sat twiddling our thumbs for the next hour...

10th is a little higher than I'd expected to land, so I'm happy enough with that!

Malaysia:

1. Hamilton
2. Button
3. Vettel
4. Schumacher
5. Webber
6. Rosberg
7. Raikkonen
8. Alonso
9. Kobayashi
10. Grosjean

I'm not a huge fan of either, but I'd lean towards Maldonado. My opinion of Bruno has never been very high, dating back to my impressions of him in GP2. I will say that this is the first season in F1 where we'll get a proper chance to evaluate him - obviously driving for Hispania there wasn't a grea...

Jenson's Understeer

From what I recall, Spec accepts predictions for the next race at any time. There were even a few occasions where people predicted two races at once because they were going on holiday or whatever, and knew they wouldn't be able to predict otherwise.

Jenson's Understeer

I'd much rather lose an extra lap behind the safety car in order to get the lapped cars out the way, than go racing a lap sooner but have potential overtaking action lost due to slower cars being in the way. I always found it frustrating when the safety car pulled in and you had the leader, followed...

Jenson's Understeer

If the rules are the same as last year, Gothnak , then you only score points if the driver finishes in the top 10. So whether Rosberg/Maldonado are classed as finishers (they both were) isn't what matters. Since others aren't waiting for Spec to tot the scores up: 1] Vettel 2] Hamilton 3] Button 4] ...

Jenson's Understeer

Is his Ferrari career done? Surely, after this year, it will be. Unless Alonso really puts his foot down and demands they keep him around so he doesn't have to worry about any challenge to his status as #1 within the team, you just can't see them retaining him. Is his F1 career done? No. Coming back...

Jenson's Understeer

Button for me. Didn't put a wheel wrong and, when he needed to, he demonstrated he had the pace to be under absolutely no threat from the rest of the field.

Jenson's Understeer

Not letting them race is definitely the right call, both in terms of the regulations and a common sense point of view.

Continue to be impressed by the Sky coverage. Found myself flicking between the various red button options - I'm almost overwhelmed by the choices. Right now I just wish I owned an iPad so I could use the companion app they keep bringing up. SSF1 feed on the TV and on-screen feeds on that would be p...

Jenson's Understeer

Right, let's see how badly this goes:

1] Vettel
2] Hamilton
3] Button
4] Webber
5] Rosberg
6] Alonso
7] Raikkonen
8] Schumacher
9] Massa
10] di Resta

Jenson's Understeer

I've thoroughly enjoyed most aspects of the channel so far. Very encouraged by the start, although I wasn't one who bought into the idea that Sky's F1 coverage would be anything other than a positive. Of course, the race weekend itself will be the real litmus test, but the signs are good so far. Reg...

Jenson's Understeer

Unless they turn up at Melbourne with some significant developments, bolt them on the car and immediately go quick, it's hard to imagine they'll be anything better than the third fastest car. That's the best-case scenario. Anything better than that and they'll have pulled the wool over the eyes of a...

She's 32 and has an uninspiring career until this date. I don't want to say this is just Marussia looking for publicity, but I find it very hard to believe there weren't a ton of younger and faster drivers available.

Jenson's Understeer

Really glad to see you've brought this back again, Spec. As the 2011 Rookie of The Year Runner Up (I'm still waiting on that trophy,

) I'm looking forward to actually remembering to complete the whole season!

Will get my picks in sometime next week. Still on the fence about a few things.

I concur with those who have observed that the BBC have the better music, but actually prefer this as an opening video.

I'm eagerly anticipating seeing somebody take that footage and pairing it with The Chain.

Jenson's Understeer

I guess Luca Badoer was on holiday those days...

Seriously though, it sounds like this has all been a little blown out of proportion.

Jenson's Understeer

I was going to play this again anyway (did dreadfully last year, though) so I'm happy to join in.

Jenson's Understeer

My best guess is:

Vettel
Hamilton
Webber
Button
Rosberg
Schumi
Kimi
Alonso
Grosjean
Hulkenberg

With a budget: Name: I'd look to Canada and see if I couldn't get Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment to bankroll the team, and name them MLSE Motorsports, or something similar. Drivers: We're working on a budget here, so I'm going to assume any current F1 driver would be out the question. I'd therefo...

Sorry but that cost system cannot be taken seriously. So if hypothetically Vergne would have replaced Webber for the 2012 season he would cost 258 points?? And Petrov gets only 5 cost because he moved to Caterham? I think it's as good a system as any. Do you think Vergne should have been free of ch...

The last team I rooted for was Jordan, and that only started because something about the Damon Hill/Jordan partnership appealed to me. I think a certain amount of it was because I just liked the look of their cars, too. Solid reasoning, eh?! Nowadays, I'm a driver fan. Felipe Massa and Nico Hulkenbe...

Jenson's Understeer

I echo the sentiments of the majority (well, that's what it seemed like, anyway!) in this thread.

A race at most tracks other than Valencia > a race at Valencia > no race.

I suppose there is always a chance it could rain, although I can't imagine there's is ever too much rain in Valencia in June...

I really hope somebody runs it, whether it's Spec, yourself, or somebody else. Enjoyed that last year.

I actually remember the original version of this, simply because I'm 90% sure I won (or, at the very least, finished top 3). I seem to recall a surprising amount of people avoided picking either Brawn driver, even in spite of the fact they were dirt cheap. Ferrari/McLaren were attractive options an...

Honestly? I don't even know. I've been told that when I was a toddler, I loved cars. Playing with toy cars, watching them, going in them, whatever. Even at that time I would watch F1, although obviously I had very little comprehension of what it all meant, besides it involving cars going fast! As I'...

They seem to be comfortably behind Red Bull and McLaren. As others have said, in looks as if they have fallen away from the front two, which would make them vulnerable to Mercedes and possibly Lotus/Force India, if any other those teams have made a significant step forward (or perhaps even a small s...

Based on my first impression of it, and the listing posted earlier in this thread, it's undoubtedly going to be soaking up more of my spare time than I expected it would. Whether or not that continues over the season or not remains to be seen. Really hoping they regularly re-run classic races, or ev...

Jenson's Understeer

McLaren, and by a fair distance, as far as I'm concerned. I just can't stomach the broken nose cars, although if I had to pick the best amongst them, I'd probably say Toro Rosso or Lotus.
