I'm against the boy on this one. I'm also against the people who design these tracks because there is no kerb, and add to that that the FIA (race stewards) were ridiculously inconsistent in applying the rule. Hamilton's pole lap and Botass's effort …
TO IT Are their own worst enemy again. Hamilton had a nice day out though. Max made Dan look a bit ordinary again. If Ricciardo doesn't learn how to get an advantage in these starts he is going to fall into the young gun's shadow.
And so we see t…
I wonder if I am being over critical by wondering about the confluence of events, and what their meaning is?
We hear that McLaren desperately want out of Honda (right when it is starting to look a bit better), and want to go to Renault, who basical…
Logic says that Honda WILL get it right. For Red Bull, there is no lose in the scenario. You stick the Honda in the Minardi, and if it works out, fine, you add the senor team in. If it does not, well, too bad, you still have the Renault.
A rocking read. Winding roads through the Ardennes are fun. For Australians the biggest problem is having an accident from the driver swivelling his head in response to the many 'oh look, there's a castle behind those trees' calls from passengers.

Yes, it's nice to have Maldonado back. I tried looking at that incident from every conceivable mitigating viewpoint, but in the end, it was just bloody petulant. As we say in Oz, he just threw his toys out of the pram. There really are two Sebs, are…
I like the bit about where Stoddart bought the Manor stuff at auction. He is the bargain hunter's bargain hunter. He probably still harbours some ambitions and just keeps loosely in the game to see if the cards fall his way. I wonder if he has quit …
I do. He has spent a very long time in the wilderness. If he can secure a top drive, he will take it for sure. He wants one more to retire on is my view. The problem is that is has to be Merc, TOIT, or Red Bull. That would be the only options he wou…
Missed it. From all that I have read, didn't miss it at all. Good on Bottas getting his first win. I will qualify that, because all that I have read suggests that Hamilton was not actually present at the race.
Missed it. I spent the Easter break in remote Western Australia with no comms swimming with whale sharks. Good that Vettel is challenging the Mercs, but we still need Williams & Red Bull to get closer to make it more interesting.
Maclaren has b…
Ya think maybe Jos has a little, eeny weeny, tiny issue with constructive feedback? Don't blame him really. He was never really in the right place at the right time. "I coulda bin a contenda!" Expressing a life of regret vicariously through your chi…
Well, let's hope we do. Australia did not seem particularly representative, and one wonders what is really happening. Certainly, TOIT appears to be right in there, though Clewlis was having a big whinge about tyres, and the Merc package overall seem…
There is an old saying in engineering that if it looks right, it will be right. F1 people changed that to 'if it looks fast, it will be fast' That thing looks neither right, nor fast.
Testing's a funny thing, innit? All you can really say are that 4 teams appear to be better than 6 teams. Melbourne will be interesting, though I kind of think that not much has changed from last year, other than RB and TOIT swapping places....
He made a huge impact on the sport. Didn't deserve what happened to his son. I often wonder how it is that a lot of racers can excel on 2 or 4 wheels. Such different disciplines - even muscle groups - involved. Vale.
They look alright, most of em. Agree that the STR livery loooks cool. I think the new airbox shape makes the cars look more squat and aggressive, though the shark fin just has to go. Awful.
For some reason they look more like grand prix cars and le…
Disagree? Avec moi!!!!???
Yeah, yeah, Prost was highly skilled and as capable as the rest of them. The nuance that I'm trying to jam into the equation is exactly your comparison. People don't remember Senna just for his car skills - Prost was proba…
Are they gone yet? Did i see there was an extension or something?
Massa proves the old addage that you have to be in the right place at the right time. Seems he is going to get 6 million British Pesos for driving in 2017. Not bad when you think abo…
Good grief. There are people who live off this? How on earth do they determine pricing?
Maybe its a chick magnet or something. "Hey babe., wanna come see my 2005 Williams front wing end plate?" "I've got some great brake ducts. I'll show you my du…
Hear him! We got words for it; Piker, Gutto, Pussy. After hearing that I think Webber had it nailed......Britney. I always figured that Rosberg would be a Prost sort of character. Well skilled, but never supreme. Winning the odd championship by ekin…
Lewis taking a leaf from the Schumaker book. Cracked me up. Made Rosberg look more dignified than he is. Verstappen says he would do the same thing. Oh where is the honour!!!???
We need to hope that the new, updated, fix em up, special, new F1, new…
The fact that they had to bring in a rule that effectively meant that they would now apply a rule that was already in place, ought to get into the territory of self-evidence I reckon.
Over time there has been some talk from older drivers of younger…
He has gone very quiet since then though. At the moment, Ricciardo has his measure and that can't be going down at all well. To be the next big thing, you need to be the next big thing.
One thing they could do would be to show Max a copy of the rules. I don't think he was correct in any of his maneuverings. There is this whole thing going on about track limits at the moment, and he almost didn't have any of his car on the track at …
