I've seen a lot of talk about a future marriage between Paul di Resta and Mercedes. Can anyone explain to me why di Resta would be preferred at Merc over other very competent drivers? I would include current drivers Kobayashi, Glock, Kovalainen and Ricciardo as drivers who have done better over the ...

Did Webber sign with RBR after his second win in 2010 too? Just wondering if 2 race wins in a season triggers contract negotiations for MW..obviously it didn't happen in 2011, hence the late negotiations.

Good choice Webbo, driving for Ferrari is a dream that can easily turn into a nightmare , whereas with Red Bull he knows who his enemies are and their potential. Is it? It was no nightmare for Ferrari WDCs Schumacher or Raikkonen. It has been no nightmare for Alonso. Massa and Eddie Irvine never wo...

1. Hungary 2010: Will never forget the string of purple sectors that Mark put together in this race. Sure there was stuff that happened which helped him during the race, but I remember looking at the live timing and thinking he was in a class of his own that day. 2. Nurburgring 2009: Winning after a...

Agreed. I think now that Webber has signed for 2013 with Red Bull there are a few folks who are both disappointed with McLaren and panicking with regards to where Lewis will drive next year.

Supposedly if the top two in the WDC are tied on points and after countback they are still tied, the WDC decision will go to a judging panel. Good luck to Lewis if he ever finds himself in that position! I always thought that this would the fairest way to settle the outcome (after countback). Add u...

Great news for Mark, and fully deserved. He's obviously enjoying his job right now. Bodes well for him for the remainder of the season...he had made it clear in recent weeks that he very much wanted a competitive drive in 2013. Now he's got it he can concentrate on the championship

I think if Ferrari got their strategy 100% perfect (which is not possible), Alonso had a chance to win. But ultimately Alonso lost to Webber because the Ferrari just wasn't fast enough. Those two opinions do appear to contradict each other.. Are you saying the Ferrari wasn't fast enough, the strate...

Are they thinking of enhancing the Barnard-inspired "coke bottle" shape?

Webber won the race in his first stint by staying within 3-4 seconds of the leader on the inferior tyre.

This increasing mentality of trying to blame one person for everything that has gone wrong with McLaren is getting ridiculous. Has everyone forgotten how many horrid seasons McLaren had under Ron Dennis? McLaren is not the only team that has made mistakes or failed to capitalize this year. +1 :thum...

Its also wonderful how the OP started out as Martin getting the blame the suddenly it ended somehow being Jensons fault. :thumbup: I thought the same.

Great quali happy it came down like that. Having said that I remember watching Vergne and he was brilliant in the rain. You may say so was everyone else but Vergne was fighting at the top during the extreme wet parts of Q2. Is he a future great? What are your opinions. FP1: Ricciardo 1:56.827, Verg...

A basic LOL at anyone who said Hamilton is the best in the wet and two fingers up to all the Schumacher haters :) what about us Webber fans, he beat everyone but Alonso, including Schumacher. :thumbup: Agreed, outqualified Vettel again too... What's more, even young Ricciardo would have knocked Seb...

I'm shattered for Ricciardo as he was faster than Alonso through S1 and S2, but held back about 0.5s more in the final sector and missed out on the top 10 But at least tomorrow if he keeps that pace and the visibility allows overtaking, he might have better luck! Go Webber too!! :thumbup: Ricciardo...

Vettel very lucky to get through...Ricciardo or Senna or both would have displaced him if it weren't for the yellow flag

bloody hell grosjean! Ricciardo and Senna were on good laps til your stuff up!

I'm guessing it has to be dry enough for those outside of the top 10 to set a time inside the top 10

10 drivers is just symbolic....just name some heavy accidents in the wet, especially in qualy!! Heavy accidents in wet? I could name plenty.

Team + Drivers are competitive and will always try in adversity. you cant rely on the common sense of people who are under pressure to perform and to win.

Is it a case of plenty of Schumi and Alonso fans wanting to start Q2 all over again??.

That would be a little harsh on those drivers that did the intelligent thing and got a clean lap in early methinks..

purchville

If they re-run Q2 then it's a farcical situation...if worse comes to worse then they should start the race in their current positions

I agree with Gary Anderson, Alonso wanted a red flag because they messed up and sent him out on inters. Any driver who is afraid can sit in the pits and watch Actually its not even about being afraid. Anderson's point is this: In deteriorating conditions, the laptimes that you set are definitely no...

Red flag or otherwise, I'm very much against what's happened in Q2 already all being for nothing...in that case, next time a race is red flagged lets start it again, from Lap 1

Top 10 could already be set here...

Big mistake by Schumi! Too much curb Michael!!

Intelligent by Red Bull then...if their drivers are on full wets...they just saved a lap on those tyres
