He is a young Double world champion. You can expect things to go in his head a little when he has been considered as a wonderkid for some time, You cant expect him to behave like for say Button who spent a lot of his time having these mistakes which made him realize that most of the time things don...

They were in an aluminium monocoque or tubular spaceframe as shown below & it made it very difficult to extricate them after an accident. http://www.georgecushing.net/Lotus25.JPG http://www.galmerinc.com/images/dsr_frame.png http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcROLBDpfD9Mms-eq6bWBsXJGM3OPDAB67G1...

The self contained monocoque, tub, safety cell now used in all cars.
It has made most accidents survivable.

Myself & herself were at it last night when she said "could you try to be a little bit more like Man. City".
I said "what do you mean".
She said, "stay on top for ages & then come second".

Sure, but is that really the cause for all these backmarker/blue flag complaints? When was the last race that this exact situation was the true cause for a backmarker to impede a leading car? I understand your point, but I just don't think it will make much impact to things as they stand today. Eve...

To those saying they don't want championships decided by backmarkers. Well what if in the final race of the year Vettel needed to finish ahead of Hamilton in the final race to win. Vettel and Hamilton have had an incident and are running a lap down with Vettel having held Hamilton off for 50 laps s...

I have no problem with the current rules but would add this. If there is more than one car being lapped, then no overtaking is allowed between the lapped cars till the faster car or cars are completely clear of them. This means that the lapped cars can concentrate on letting the faster cars through ...

Michèle Mouton wasn't just competitive in her field "for a woman", she was competitive full stop. And there are very few women in motorsports that we can say that about, sadly.

One of the reasons for blue flag is to take away the possibility of a backmarker being able to influence the outcome of the race. A backmarker can make it easy for some cars to pass & difficult for others & yes this has been known to happen. This is more the case in these days of dirty air rather th...

Its great to have the current field of WDCs but cannot help thinking that of the 6 current WDCs, JB and Hamilton are definitely the bottom two. Unproven as yet as far as WDCs are concerned and haven't yet demonstrated that they can drive well under pressure when the WDC is on the line. JB got lucky...

Shirley Muldowney won at least 3 championships while competing head to to head with the boys & some of them were the best ever at their discipline.
However I have to go for Michelle Mouton.

Probably has no relevance, but Jochen Rindt was the first German champ as he was German born & carried a German passport.
He was deemed Austrian because his racing license was Austrian.

In response to the last few posts, when the driver needs to get on the gas, he needs it all. When accelerating, if you are not getting all the power to the ground, you will be passed. You do not get extra power or acceleration by cutting out cylinders. but by that rationale there would never have b...
