I don't have an opinion of Max yet since I haven't seen him race. But let's remember he recently crashed an F1 car during a demo run. Maybe that's not what "prodigies" normally do...

The only one who deserves the title is the one who accumulates the most points, just like almost every other sport. I would pretty much agree with this with the 1 exception being if either ROS or HAM won it by benefit of the stupid double points rule. As much as I hate the double-points rule, every...

Max said: "The teen prodigy recently compared himself Fernando Alonso, considered by many to be the most complete driver of the current grid." Confidence is a good thing, but so is being humble. Personally, I wouldn't make such a claim unless I've participated in a few races and had some podiums. We...

I actually feel sorry for Pirelli, they've come in and done exactly what was asked of them at the expense of their reputation. I certainly wouldn't buy Pirelli tyres for my car based on my impression of them as a result of their F1 years. Good point. I have never faulted Pirelli for the tires they ...

It's bound to happen. Today, we have tires designed to wear out as their prime design criteria, rather than them being designed to perform well (like every other form of motorsports). We have DRS. I'm sure everyone has their opinion on it. My opinion is that it never should have happened. We've hea...

As Case1906 said, you can't plan for a safety car (except for Singapore 2008

). Looking back, sure, Merc could have put Hammer on softs, but they were obviously sticking to their planned strategy.

Only kidding, I've thought it's f**king stupid since the start of the year. THIS!!!! I promise you, one more ludicrous gimmick in this sport and I'm done! I could have NEVER fathomed DRS, the parameters for the Pirelli tires, and now this stupid double points rule. It's worse than WWE (fake, staged...

We all know about Roscoe, Hamilton's pet dog but not about his other pet. I read somewhere that Hamilton has a pet white mouse named Moscoe & Hamilton had trained his mouse before the race weekend & to feast on Rosberg's car's wire on Saturday night, with a promise of a feast of a pound of Mozzarel...

Nico's wiring loom had a premature failure according to reports, causing him many electrical gremlins in Singapore. Wiring is typically more durable than this, and we rarely hear of reliability problems related directly to wiring. http://www.planetf1.com/driver/18227/9483337/Broken-wiring-loom-behin...

Just the fact that the rule doesn't make sense and is not fair is not enough for the FIA to overturn the rule. It is, after all, the FIA we're talking about

What an unusual turn of phrase.

It's not that difficult to figure out. Think of it as "speculating to make yourself feel good". That's basically what speculating, or ridiculous scenarios are, am I right?

Maybe title should be "Who do you think will be a future WDC?"

So if you had a 100m sprint race against Usain Bolt who's carrying a fat person piggyback and you won the race - you'd go on bragging you're the fastest? Oh wonderful, a nice hyperbole to speculate upon! It's not a fair race that would never happen, so I prefer not to mentally masturbate about it. ...

Mechanic's dream job back in the V10 era:

It would be worth it to work 50-60 hours over a weekend just to stand next to one of these cars as they test fired it! Freaking insane!!

Different strategies? under refuelling? Pardon? Uhhh, yeah. Some teams would qualify on heavy on fuel and other teams would start on lighter fuel to try to start higher up on the grid.

DRS, less than adequate sporting code and an increasing loss of sportsmanship. I'm sad that it took 25 posts until DRS came up. - Along with DRS, the tires. Tires for all other forms of motorsport are designed with performance as their prime criteria, not how fast they can degrade. - The fact that ...

Jeepkhana

Neat list. What a micro-managing waste of effort. When the FIA screws up royally and wrongly penalizes a star driver, like Alonso, because the FIA interpreted a benign message one way but the team insists they intended something else, then everyone's gonna come back here crying about the clampdown. ...

There's only one thing we can be sure of: If it rains just before the race, the ground will be wet to some degree.

I am not believer that more is always better.Like others have said I think 20 is the limit. I would rather have 12-16 quality races than just having more races just for the sake of it.

I don't like this ban. What is wrong with coaching? Almost every other sport has it. Even a golfer can consult with his caddy.

Why did they choose a 1.6L turbo? That's a very loaded question. Here are a few reasons.... They wanted a slower car with engines that cost ~10 times more to produce, and that take much much longer to repair. Or they wanted the race car to more closely emulate a small percentage of current road car...
